Where Are They Now? College Superstars
This was a pretty difficult quiz. Good luck when you take it.

Go UNC
The Big Dance is on the brink of arrival. The headlights crest the hill. Dick is annoying as ever.
Arguably, this month is the most exciting month in sports because of the NCAA Basketball National Championship. And this year, like most years, since the Gamecocks are not going to make it to the tourney, I'm going to pull for my upstairs neighbors.
You'd think South Carolina and North Carolina would be heated rivals, but this is not so. We are not in the same conference (SCAR- SEC and UNC- ACC). We actually never play each other in anything. Occasionally, we play them in football, but they suck in football so it's never a big deal. Our rival is Clemson (and I hate them more than bin Laden) and UNC's rival is Duke.
This year's UNC team is great (like normal) featuring Ty Lawson and Tyler Hansbrough. Both of
these guys are relentlessly tough athletes. They play with passion and are experienced. They are going to be a fun team to watch. Tyler seems to be a magnet for hard fouls and rough double teams, but nothing stops him. And I'd like to see anyone try and keep up with Ty Lawson; he is speedy. This is going to be a good year for March Madness.

We'll Miss You Brett
Brett Favre retired this week after 17 seasons of NFL football. I remember Favre as being one of the toughest quarterbacks ever. He was gutsy and loved the game like a young boy loves his Tonka trucks. 
Favre holds some admirable records -- he's the only 3 time MVP, 160 career victories, 442 touchdown passes, and 61,655 yards passing. Not too shabby.
Favre says he still has gas in the tank, but he doesn't think it'd be fair on him, his family and teammates if he tried to push through for another season. It is sad to see such a good athlete and such a good guy leave the world of professional sports, but it is time. I think everyone saw it coming. We will miss the tenacity of Favre; there's not another quarterback like him.
