Basketball Or State Of The Union

There isn't much of a decision to be made tomorrow when it comes to television viewing. I ask you, when was the last time you sat down with a bowl of popcorn and watched the State of The Union speech intently? Better yet, do you recall a pronouncement made that was memorable? I do. It was when Congressman Joe Wilson(R-NC) shouted out, "You lie" when Mr. Obama told us the cost of 'free' health care was going to be just that.

If you're a rabid college basketball fan the SOTU will rank up there with reruns of Gilligan for viewership. Truth be told it's the president's fault for our love of the game. If it wasn't for his all or nothing emphasis on hoops none of us might be interested in Naismith's invention.

We Hawkeye and Cyclone fans will be tuning into ESPN and ESPN2. Iowa State takes on Kansas State at Hilton Coliseum followed by Iowa as they invade the Univ. of Wisconsin. Please root for Iowa. Why would anyone cheer for a communist school?
