roll tide 4

Las Vegas - Waking up early, at least here on the West Coast, for a little Premier League action over in England, and gonna rock Everton over Burnley. The Toffees, yea, Toffees, are sitting in the sixth slot in the league standings, just four points off an invitation to the UEFA Champions League. And they'll need to defend home field against the visiting Clarets who are way down in 15th place. Burnley has scored only two goals in the last four games, and will be without striker, and second leading goal scorer, Ashley Barnes. I'll have a cup of coffee with a little Toffee on the side!!!

On to the college hoop board, and its gotta be Alabama over Tennessee. The Tide rolled yesterday, actually STEAMROLLED Mississippi State, 85-48. The defense was, lets say STIFLING. What does that mean? They held the Bulldogs to 1 of 19 from downtown. ONE OF NINETEEN!!! That translates to 5.3%. Did I say FIVE POINT THREE PERCENT? Man, have not seen that kinda D since the '85 Bears! And if you think 'Bama might be a little tired after that kind of effort. UH UH. They played FIFTEEN kids against the Bulldogs. Didn't even know they had that many on the team. In the only meeting this season, Alabama beat Tennessee IN Knoxville back in January, 71-63. Gotta ROLL with the TIDE!!!

And if you like the ice, grab the Lightning and watch them strike down the Predators.
