Michigan High School Hockey Co-Champs

Heard this story today on the ESPN 'Mike Tirico Show' and felt like it needed to be shared.

A Michigan High School state championship hockey game ended in a tie and Co-Champs as they continued to play overtime after overtime after overtime. High School league officials finally made the decision to end it as tie after 8 grueling overtimes sessions. They played a total of 109 minutes which is the equivalent to 2 full games and one period. One period lasts 15 minutes and each overtime was 8 minutes in length. In other sports, football its like playing 9 straight quarters, baseball 19 innings.

Hydration and the kids health was the obvious reason for the league to rule Co-Champs. The High School league in Michigan doesn't allow for shootouts, deciding to let the game end as it normally would in regulation. After this game they might want to rethink that rule.

Randy Moss to the Cowboys??

Really? Could that actually happen?

Your guess is as good as mine, but just the thought of those two on the same team is mind blowing. Its like Madden Football just in reality. The thought of having those two line up on the opposite ends of the field makes your hair on the back of your neck stand tall, whether you're the opposing coach, player or fan.

It's been rumored that Moss could sign with the Cowboys since the day the Patriots decided not to franchise the leagues' top receiver this past year. And with Jerry Jones always looking for a "splash" it's not totally out the realm of possibility for Randy Moss to sign his name on a Dallas Cowboys contract offer sheet. Now common sense starts to take over once you hear this and the obvious thought turns to whether TO and his personality can co-exist with another super star WR and its seems that answer would be a quick NO. But here's the thing they both have in common and the thing neither has, a Superbowl ring.

Now I'm not sure if the NFL can produce enough footballs that would make either of them happy. They both want and demand the ball all the time and Tony Romo can only throw so many times. Now I'm a huge Cowboys fan and just the mere thought of those two combined with Patrick Crayton in the slot and Jason Witten with Marion "The Barbarian" Barber in the backfield just gives me the chills.

One thing I've learned thru the years with JJ is never say never, he wants to win and will do whatever he can do it. So just when you think Moss to the Cowboys couldn't happen, Think again!

Citadel upsets Louisville in the "Charleston 9" Memorial

It was supposed to be a nice warm and relaxing home coming for ex-Citadel players Dan McDonald and Chris Lemonis. But someone forgot to tell The Citadel that Louisville played in last years College World Series. In what I can only imagine was a thrilling 1-0 game, Citadel beat Louisville on a bases loaded walk with two outs in the bottom half of the 10 inning.

Dan McDonald is the HC of the Louisville Cardinals and Chris Lemonis is his assistant. Both were integral parts of Citadel Baseball having played under legendary Coach Chal Port. They have both been with The Cardinals for two years.

Citadel is hosting a tournament this weekend to support the 'Charleston 9' Fund for the fallen firefighters that lost their lives in the Sofa Super Store fire last June. Before today's game they unveiled a tribute the men who parished that day on the outfield wall.

Louisville came into the game ranked #23 in the Nation. So the win over the Cardinals marks the third consecutive year that The Citadel has beaten a ranked opponent as a tournament host. In 2006 Citadel beat #3 Nebraska 8-5 and last year they topped #1 South Carolina 7-6.

Citadel is 2-0 in this tournament with todays win and after beating NC A&T 2-1 on Friday. They conclude the tournament on Sunday when they face off against NC State at 2pm.

The Love Guru Mike Myers's new comedy

I saw a piece of Mike Myers new movie the other day and mistakingly took if for another of his genius Austin Powers movies. But alas I was wrong. It's his new movie called 'The Love Guru' that is scheduled to be released in June. But watching the preview I can't help but think Austin Powers, seems to have somewhat the same silly character that took over the nation for a few years.

Here's the Preview.
