HAPPY BIRTHDAY MARK, COLONIALS FALL

Well today is former blogger Mark Carsley's birthday, Happy Birthday Mark and all of your fellow bloggers want to know where the heck have you been.  The Colonial Heights Colonials lost another tough one at home last night 64-59, it was 2 point game at the half before Prince George went on a 22-8 run in the 3rd quarter.  The Colonials will be off now until next Friday night because of exams.  The VCU Rams have a big tilt in the CAA today when the travel down to Norfolk to face the Old Dominion Monarchs, I wonder if fellow blogger Lee will be making the trip down to Norfolk today.  In the ACC today the Virginia Cavaliers will be at home to face the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets, I think the Cavaliers are going to win today.  It looks like Tuesdays fore-casted snow storm is now just going to be another cold rainy day for central Virginia with allot of snow in the Shenandoah Valley, the less snow around here is just fine with me.  MICKEY
