OK so my prediction was wrong, Lets drink

To continue on my beer in sports topic. Last post I went on about how UNC would lose in the National Championship game. Well I guess that I was a little wrong about that one but that team is just good. They could beat a few NBA teams when they play good so I don't feel bad to see my team get beaten by them. But as far as beer goes, this is why I love sports. If your team wins, then you celebrate by drinking beers with your friends, if they lose, you drown your sorrows by drinking beer with your friends, and by the time you have a few you no longer care that the team lost. If only Women's basketball was exciting then we would have a good reason to drink every day of the week. Also that was not an insult to women who play basketball, just Women's professional basketball is boring to watch. Most of my female sports fan friends agree with me on that point.

On a side note, I would really like to know what the people reading this feel about sports, what your favorite sports are, and who your favorite athletes are. This may not be quite as beer related as much of my blog is about but to go along with the bonding ability of beer and sports I am curious. And until next time, drink one for me; I will be sure to drink one to you.

Beer's best friend

And by this I of course mean the one thing that takes up much of people's beer drinking time....SPORTS. With this year's NCAA basketball season almost done all I can say is GO GREEN. Having been at the game last night, which was crazy, you can wander through the streets of Detroit and see many a person drinking beer, a sort of glue that holds all fans together. Beer truly is a magical substance. I am almost sure that in the middle east there is not enough beer drinking, or else everyone would probably get along there much better.

As for the game though I will have to put out my predictions for tomorrow night's game. I predict the score to be 72-64 Michigan State winning. My main reason for this is Michigan State has shown throughout the last few rounds that they will not lose. Even though I will also say that UNC is the better team, at least when comparing starters, they only have about 2 good bench players though. MSU's big stat on their side though is intangibles, which i guess by definition can't be a stat. The game is in Detroit, 2 of their main players are natives to Detroit, and a handful of others are from close by cities in Michigan. Also the crowd is completely for the green and white. Of the fans at Saturday night's game, 70% were probably MSU fans, and they were loud. The student section itself was able to overpower all of UConn's fans put together. The atmosphere for MSU will be like it is at home, where for UNC it will be in a hostile environment. If the MSU team that comes out of the tunnel Monday is the same one that has been there the past few games, then that is all that matters UNC will be the runner up to the national champion Spartans.
