THE BUTLER DID IT, VIRGINIA WINS AGAIN

The Butler Bulldogs ended the VCU Rams dream season last night in Houston knocking off the Rams 70-62 in Houston.  The Rams just couldn't in sync, they went on a couple of runs but they just didn't play as well as they did in the previous games on tournament and I think Butler had allot to do with that.  Butler will move on to the championship game for the 2nd year in a row where they will face UCONN who beat Kentucky 56-55, I will be rooting for the Bulldogs.  The Virginia baseball continued to play well again yesterday beating Virginia Tech 9-3, the Cavs will go for the series sweep this afternoon in Blacksburg.  Jamie McMurray captures the pole for todays Sprint Cup race at the Martinsville edging Ryan Newman for the top spot.  I thin me, dad & Al or going over to the Diamond this afternoon to watch ODU face VCU in college baseball action.  Between watching the basketball and baseball games on TV yesterday I was working on a VHLS coaches test, I finished 1 part of the test but still need to another section to finish the class.  MICKEY
