THE DAYTONA 500

Well the 2012 Nascar Sprint Cup Season starts today with the Super Bowl of stock car racing The Daytona 500.  Carl Edwards will be starting on the pole with his teammate Greg Biffle joining him on the front row for today race.  Jame Buescher won yesterdays crash filled Nationwide race at Daytona in a finish that looked like Friday nights truck race a green, white, and then checkered finish.  If I was a betting man that's the way it will probably end today as well.  Also in yesterdays Nationwide race Danica Patrick got taken out by her teammate of all people.  In college basketball action yesterday at eh JPJ Arena the North Carolina Tar Heels beat Virginia 54-51.  The Cavs got in some serious foul trouble and couldn't handle the Heels big men towards the end of the game and the offense went ice cold form 3 point land missing there final 13 attempts from there.  The VCU Rams beat George Mason last night 89-77 at the Seigel Center capturing the #2 seed in the upcoming CAA Tournament at the Richmond Coliseum.  In college baseball action yesterday the Virginia Cavaliers improved to 4-1-1 on the season with a 7-1 win over Monmouth, the Cavs will go for the sweep this afternoon.  I am hoping all the strong winds we had yesterday will have dried the field enough so we will be able to get outside tomorrow for the 1st time this year.  MICKEY
