*The Novak Djokovic-Rafael Nadal match in the finals of the Australian Open was unbelievable. It is a shame that someone had to lose after they went at it for almost six hours. It broke a record for the longest Grand Slam final and Djokovic won in five incredible sets. You had to feel for Nadal after a loss like that.

*Agent Scott Boras strikes gold again as Prince Fielder gets a nine-year deal worth around $214 million with the Tigers.  All of the major league teams scream about dealing with Boras, yet he continues to hit a Grand Slam for his clients.

*I feel for West Virginia coach Bob Huggins as he has to be the winner of the Tough Luck Award. He received a bad break with a bad no call on a goaltending play by the Orange late. That call should have tied the competitive game; instead, the Mountaineers suffered a tough L.

 *Trust me, Lon Kruger will have Oklahoma going uptown because he is a WINNER. His team got a solid victory over Kansas State in Manhattan on Saturday.

*Thomas Robinson has been struggling recently. He must be dominant next week at Mizzou or Jayhawks cannot win!

*Mike Scott of Virginia needs more ink. He sparked Tony Bennett's team to a win at NC State.
