The opening day of the Big East Tennis Tournament as you can imagine got a good soaking today and they will try again tomorrow. The next two weeks will be taken up in Tennis with the conference championships for teams and then the individuals. Nash Central once again this season lead by the Price sisters are undefeated in conference play but Rocky Mount with a very young team is set to pounce if Nash Central has a let up in any way. I suspect with the rain today there now might be three straight days of tennis for those who win as the week goes forth.
Today Rocky Mount and Northern Nash who tied for third in Big East Volley ball and Rocky Mount won the coin flip and played at home tonight against Nash Central as the last place or 6th seed. Northern also got a home game and took on Southern Nash as the 5th seed. The Lady Gryphons beat The Lady Bulldogs in three sets 3-0 and Tomorrow travel to Hunt who is the #2 seed in the conference. If Northern Wins tonight they get Fike the #1 conference seed Tuesday at Fike.
Saturday something happened in ACC football that hasn't happen in 18 years. State, Carolina and Duke all won conference games on the same day. It had not happened since Oct 5th 1994. In fact in the 60 year history of the ACC it has only happen four times that all three won conference games the same day. Must show you that these three schools are basketball schools but I bet if we could find all the facts and figures it has happened more in basketball but not as much as you think.
Here is a head scratcher for you. How many times in ACC Tournament history has the Big Four met each other in the opening round of ACC Tournament? Think about that for a couple of days.
If you watched last night's NFL game the question you must be asking this morning is what happened to the real referees. There must have been six of seven pass interference penalties that didn't get called but their was one offensive pass interference called on Antonio Gates in which the defender held him the entire run down the field until he fell down. I sure wish we could get those scabs back.
Finally tonight we all as couch potatoes yell at coaches and players when they mess up but yesterday the Kansas City Chief fans went beyond fans when their starting quarterback Matt Cassell went down with a n injury and the fans cheered. We have become a sick society that has lost all compassion for our fellow man. KC fans now join Philadelphia fans who have booed Santa Claus.
