HAPPY BIRTHDAY MARILYN, UTAH STUNS ALABAMA

Well today is former blogger Marilyn Greene's birthday, HAPPY BIRTHDAY MARILYN. Maybe we can get her and Glenn back on the blog, they both have been pretty absent this past year. The Utah Utes stunned the Alabama Crimson Tide in Sugar Bowl last night 31-17, the Utes dominated the Alabama in every aspect of the game. It's to bad we don't have a playoff system in Division I football. The East Carolina Pirates looked good at halftime against Kentucky leading 16-3 but unfortunately they had the play the 2nd half where the Pirates offense just fell apart turning the ball over to many times allowing Kentucky to come away with a 25-19 win. The NFL playoffs start today with Atlanta visiting Arizona & Indianapolis visiting San Diego. In college basketball action today Virginia will be at home against Xavier and VCU will be at Delaware. Just when I thought the Renegades had turned things around they get pounded by Fayetteville 7-2, maybe the can turn things around tonight when Knoxville visits the Richmond Coliseum. I did go down to Wal-Mart this morning but I didn't get any donuts, after lasts weeks debacle with the donuts (to much glaze on them) I just didn't want to take any chance on them this week. I have added a video today of the always colorful Don Cherry, Don always speaks his mind and is usually try to make a fashion statement. MICKEY

Milk & Osteoporosis
Milk is not essential to protect against osteoporosis. In many countries people do not drink milk but still have strong bones. In countries where there is a high dairy intake there is also a high incident of osteoporosis.

Eat for immunity
Some foods are naturally going to help you stay in top flu-fighting shape, and you really want to load up on these when the sniffles are going around. Start with the obvious; vitamin C-rich foods are the best immunity boosters around. Another great pick is green tea. According to our friends at Eating Well, one study suggests that the antioxidants in green tea have actually been shown to kill the flu virus. Eating healthy, whole foods is also a great way to improve your body's immunity and overall health, since that's the best way to actually get the vitamins you need (including C). And once you actually get sick, stay hydrated with lots of fluids.
