It's Time To Pick Super Bowl

The Gryphons play host to Nash Central Tuesday in basketball. Four games are on tap so the varsity girls will begin some where near 6.30 p.m .

Everytime we play Northern Nash, it is always on a Friday night. Regardless of whether it is at Northern or Rocky Mount, it is a sellout.

The schedule makers need to arrange the schedule to where Nash Central and RM also play on a Friday night for the biggest crowds.

Next year when Hunt joins the conference, Fike needs to schedule it on a Friday for the same effect - a sellout.

Sorry, but Southern Nash just doesn't bring out the crowds that NN and NC do, so they should join Fike and Hunt for Tuesday games. There has to be a way to make that happen.

Yours truly will be in the house doing the PA Tuesday.

Time to make a decision:

Who's going to win the Super Bowl?

Best Defense: Pittsburgh! However, this game will be played in sunny Tampa, not 20 degree Pittsburgh.

Best Offense: Arizona They have scored at least 30 in every playoff game.

Strength: For Pittsburgh. pass rush against a quarterback in Kurt Warner who is not mobile at all. For Arizona, no one in the playoffs has been able to cover Larry Fitzgerald.

Who has best quarterback? It's a wash. Both are good!

Injuries: For Pittsburgh, Hines Ward is a question? For Arizona, J.J. Arrington is their question mark. Both injured their knee in the conference championship game.

What do I think will happen? Pittsburgh will get Warner to turn the ball over twice in the backfield. Fumbles. Warner can beat the blitz by throwing to Fitzgerald.

In a game that is a shootout, I don't think Pittsburgh can win that means their defense is not playing well. I do think Arizona can hold Pittsburgh into the twenties.

Arizona 31, Pittsburgh 23. I just have that feeling.

Bravo to the UNC women's basketball team wearing pink uniforms against Maryland Sunday to pay tribute to Kay Yow.

Monday night, the Sidney Lowe radio show gave way to a tribute to Kay Yow during the radio show hour.

Do your realize that Kay Yow is the third N.C. State basketball coach to die from cancer? The obvious answer is Jim Valvano, but you may forget the greatest Wolfpack coach of all time, Everett Case. People forget that Reynolds Coliseum is called the "building that Everett Case built."

Case is one of four Indiana High School coaches to win the Indiana State championship four times and 725 high school games. He started coaching at State in 1946 fresh out of WWII and proceeded to win 377 college games and record a .737 winning percentage. State won the last six Southern Conference titles and the first three ACC championships under his leadership - all in a row.

He died just after the 1966 season.

He is buried in a cemetery on a hill over looking U.S. 70 North headed to Durham. He wanted to be able to look at the team as the State bus passed on the way to a game with Duke.
