Sun, Tiger, Obama, Irish, and Hoosiers

Just posted a note over at Lakeview News that I'll be at the golf course if the weatherman is half way right: 45 degrees and sunny by 1 o'clock today.

Obama wins big in South Carolina; Clinton gets early flight to Tennessee. Edwards again finishes a disappointing third. On Edwards: why should he drop out? Not only are there lots of primaries to be held, there is also the very strong possibility of a brokered convention, meaning no decision till the convention. On the nastiness of the SC race: hope it's run its course and the candidates return to a more positive campaigning style. That said, any candidate had better be ready for the 'nasties' in the battle with the Republicans just down the road a little bit. No holds barred and all that stuff then.

Woods winning big at Torrey Pines. He was a joy to watch yesterday afternoon. With today's expected deluge, Steve Elling at cbssports.com suggests calling the final round and handing the trophy to Woods. He makes sense but lets hope the rain falls into the ocean and they complete the tournament as scheduled. Expect Tiger in cruise control if they play, being happy with pars and letting the competition make the birdies if they can. Let me see, that would mean that Cink would have to shoot 8 under to tie. Hmmm, chances of that happening against Tiger? in the rain? If I were playing, I'ld still want my shot; nothing's over till some lady sings, you know.

In college basketball yesterday, caught a little of the ND-Nova game won by the Irish against the ranked Nova team on their court. Caught some of the IU-UCON game won by the Huskies on the Hoosiers home court against the 7th ranked team in the nation. What's going on here? Hurray for the Irish in any case. Was hoping to see Zeller play but no such luck.

Sun's up and warming this part of the world. Best get ready to get out of here...
