Well my preseason baseball predictions are about 50% accurate -- par for the course. Even though they're fighting with the Cardinals for the AL Central division like I predicted, the Cubs are struggling. They probably will make the playoffs, but they don't look anywhere near a team capable of making the World Series this year.
Reading the press articles on the Cyclone football during summer camp team leaves me feeling cautiously optimistic about their upcoming season. Five wins are not out of the question in Paul Rhoads' inaugural season. The players' goal this season is to win a bowl game; that maybe a little premature this year. Even so, I feel the 2009 edition of the ISU Cyclone football team will be far more competitive.
Reading about Kevin Jackson's hire as ISU's head wrestling coach seems an excellent fit. His passion seems to mirror that exhibited by Tom Brands the Hawkeye wrestling coach. That ardour can only bode well for the Cyclone wrestling program.
The Brett Favre -- Minnesota Viking saga has finally reached an end. Looks like Favre will be wearing purple this year. With that excellent Viking offensive line and having Adrian Peterson in the backfield, Favre should do very well and lead the Vikes deep into the playoffs; perhaps one more Super Bowl. Should Favre get hurt, Rosenfels and Jackson are able to capably take the reins at QB. I'm sure all Packer fans feel betrayed right now and probably making comparisons to the likes of Benedict Arnold among other infamous people from history. Unfortunate to be a Packer fan this year. ;-)
Until my next posting, in which, I hope, will be a shorter span of time than that from my last posting, TTFN.
