Pittsburgh at Utah September 2nd
What a way to start the College Football campaign for an Eastern Edge giant such as the Pitt Panthers. It won’t be startling to this handicapper, if an UPSET is on the table out in Salt Lake City on Thursday night.

Batimore Orioles Opening Thoughts
It was a bright, but windy day on Friday down in Crab Town. The legends, Brooks Robinson and Boog Powell returned to throw out the first pitch to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the 1970 team that roasted the Big Red Machine four games to one in the World Series. However, the largest crowd in Baltimore’s Opening Day history (48,891) could not stop the organization field unit from throwing away another winnable game.

March College Basketball Report
On Saturday the Mounties, Spartans, Blue Devils and Bulldogs do battle in Indianapolis in what should be one of the most interesting and exciting formats in many years. This post season has been riddled with UNDERDOGS covering the spread at an incredible pace. In fact, the Sunday Split of 1-1 for the barking dogs (Michigan State) was an anomaly, after both Butler and West Virginia converted a SWEEP on Saturday. If emotions are ringing today, just think how those #1 seeds feel who will not make the trip down I-70 to the Lucas Oil facility. There is always next year though, pending any NCAA investigations, of course.

Can Temple Win the A-10 Tournament?
Motivation? All you need to know is that Fran Dunphy is coaching a team, and believe me that club will be motivated 100%, despite obvious facts and circumstances. This past weekend the Owls (26-5 SU) were named the top seed in this weeks’ tournament in Atlantic City, New Jersey. To make the handicap a little more interesting for the Philadelphia group, the Owls don’t play until the quarter final round on Friday. With this rest advantage, can the recharged program from North Philadelphia make a statement on the national stage and go rolling into the Big Dance as a #4 or #5 seed?
