Lots of people care about college lacrosse. I went to Cornell undergrad and Syracuse for my Masters so I had my two schools going at it again this year which was a repeat of the championship game in 1988 when I graduated.

My grandfather, an uncle and one of my cousins(all on my father’s side) went to Cornell. And my uncle was Comptroller at CU for several years, so with UVA out of the picture, I was rooting for the Big Red.

Bruce: And yes, I really do follow college lacrosse.

Apparently Egypt and Brazil are having a hell of a game right now.

You can find Confed Cup feeds on ESPN360 if you get it.

Rockabye: I’d assume you’ll be able to find feeds online. Also in South Africa: Confederations Cup. May not be great in the early rounds, but the chances of a Spain/Italy match are quite good.

cycledan: Actually, there is quite a bit going on internationally. The Combined English, Irish, Wales and Scottish all-star rugby team, the Lions, are touring in South Africa now. They played some regional teams so far. However the big matches are against the South African national team, the Springboks. Should be some great action next weekend. Unfortunately I don’t know if it is covered on TV here at all.

Rockabye: Mind you, it was worse last year, at least in the interim between the US Open and the Olympics.2008 was an AWESOME sports year. We have yet to fully appreciate that.

2008 was a great sports year, indeed.

cycledan: Of course the Tour de France starts in July. Should be interesting. Armstrong is making his comeback after a 3 year retirement. He just had a kid with his girlfriend so he needed an excuse to get out of the house. His teammate, Alberto Contador, who won in 2007 is the big favorite for the race so it is unlikely Armstrong will win. Interesting to see if he can put aside his ego and accept that he is the 2nd best rider on the team.

I don’t think he’ll have a problem pitching in to help his teammates win. I like Contador and will root for him and Leipheimer.

Kobe is an amazing athlete. No denying that. He is up there in the pantheon.

I am looking forward to the dog days of summer. Something just relaxing about being able to just keep a baseball game on in the background almost every night.

cbh49er: I’m not afraid to admit when I am wrong, the NHL did very well on Friday night in the ratings. I got to catch the last 2 minutes of the game, awesome finish.

I only caught the last 5 minutes, but those seemed like the best part of the entire game…what a finish indeed.
