Those guys are crazy Natsie. No regard for life or limb. LOL.

Speaking of crazy, Hoshoryu won his first Sumo title.  And will likely be promoted to Ozeki.

Penn plays Kentucky at Wells Fargo Center. And they have Auburn and Houston back to back on the road. Talk about three beat downs.

St. John’s will be very interesting.  Almost a whole new roster for Pitino.  A few of his Iona guys as transfers and best two players probably from the Ivy League. And a top recruit. And a partridge in a pear tree.
