Sports Talk With Toni: March 2009 Archives

It was Suton in the first half and Kalin Lucas in the second half that lead MSU to its 62-67 victory over last year's national champions Kansas Jayhawks. With MSU's determination and Kansas second half mistakes resulted in MSU "Goran" (Goran Suton) to the Great 8.

Someone coined the phrase,"A picture is worth a thousand words." For anyone who has been the victim of a drunk driver. This blog entry is for you. Anyone who is currently risking getting behind the wheel and driving drunk. This blog entry is for you. Students and Mothers Against Drunk Driving, this blog entry is for you.

This morning, I watched ESPN's story on Donte' Stallworth who recently got behind the wheel of his car intoxicated and killed someone. I have been the victim of a person driving drunk twice in my life. I thank God I survived both times. The following individuals were not so lucky:

Local Waitress--Long Beach, California
Wife and Mother Lost in Drunk Driving Collision
Santa Maria Man Killed in DUI Collision
Woman Killed, 4 hurt in DUI Collision--Orlando, Florida

I never knew these people personally, but someone did. As a teenager, I remembered how relentless MADD and SADD used to be. I saw so many public service announcements and billboards everywhere. I don't doubt that these organizations still exist, but it is like with anything, the minute you let up and think people get the message, the problem continues to get worse.

Hello friends. It's NCAA Men's Basketball Tournement time! Yesterday was an exciting day, but I would be remissed if I didn't put my spin on the highlights. Lets start with the Big Ten Conference. First, can anyone tell me how many teams are in this tournament that lost games in double digits without winning their own tournament conference? The answer to that question is none besides the Big Ten Conference.

I bring this up because my brackets got all out of whack because of the Big Ten Conference. First, Michigan had no business in that game yesterday with Clemson. Michigan finished their season with an overall record of 21-13. I heard people talking this morning on the radio about the return of Michigan. Ah! The only return Michigan is going to need is a return airline reservation back to Ann Arbor.

With regards to Clemson, Michigan got at the ass ealy, and it was history. Clemson's lost to Michigan was inexcusable, and that's my only comment on their sorry asses.
