I realize that I can't hardly remember back that far any more, but I don't recall that while I was growing up going to school that we ever got a snow on a Saturday or Sunday, which we would have missed a school day if there had been school that day.
Nash-Rocky Mount Schools are already closed due to the semester break which runs through Thursday. I wonder how many kids will be glad it's snowing when they realize that they didn't have to go to school anyway?
Last night the No. 1 and No. 2 women's college basketball teams met in Chapel Hill and UConn showed everyone why it is ranked No. 1. Carolina never had a chance to get any rhythm going and suffered a 30-point loss at home.
In a matter on eight days N.C. State's women have played Carolina to overtime in Chapel Hill and last night took No. 4 Duke to overtime and loss to the Devils, 61-58. The Wolfpack women are playing hard for Coach Yow who continues fighting hard for her life.
The last five years the NFL playoffs has become a wide open affair when you are a lot better off being the underdog.
This year may be the the ultimate underdog year, however as the Arizona Cardinals who haven't won any type of championship in 61 years, take on one of the premier NFL franchises in the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Pittsburgh has a chance to possibly steal the title of team of the decade away from New England if they can win their second title this decade. They would have won two titles since New England last won one.
The oddsmakers have made the Steelers the favorite, but I am still thinking on this one. So far in the 10 NFL games played in the playoffs, just four games have the winning team scored 30 points. The Cardinals played in three of them.
This Super Bowl will be a classic offense against defense.
The Gryphons return to the court Friday and Saturday night this week for two conference games. The Lady Gryphons find themselves tied for first, while right now after two games, the boys are in the middle of the pack.
High school basketball's regular season has seemingly just started, yet it will be over in three weeks. Seems like we are just getting started.
