Randomness

A few random thoughts:

The Texans are getting rid of David Carr. That's no surprise. But, for Matt Schaub? Let's wait and see how that turns out. I wouldn't get my hopes up. But, Tony Romo has become a Pro Bowl quarterback, so anything can happen. And, don't be surprised if Carr becomes a good quarterback somewhere else.

Tubby Smith is going ice fishing. He's leaving the pressure cooker of Kentucky for the Great White North of Minnesota, to coach the Golden Gophers. Smart move by the Tubster. Sure, he won't be getting $2.1 million per year from Kentucky. But, he'll be well paid by the Gophers, with a fraction of the expectations. He's won a national championship. The problem in the Bluegrass is that it was nine years ago. Tubby is a darn good coach. He'll have the Gophers in the thick of the Big Ten sooner rather than later. The guy took Tulsa and Georgia to the Sweet 16. He can coach. However, they expect a lot more at Kentucky.

There were a lot of good games last night in the Sweet 16. The results were predictable, though, and we have 1 vs. 2 seeds in both regionals. Kansas knocked off Southern Illinois, and UCLA beat Pittsburgh out West. San Antonio saw two one-point games, as Memphis nudged Texas A&M, and Ohio State overcame a 20-point deficit to beat Tennessee.
