As I am sure most of you know tonight is Game 5 between the San Antonio Spurs (50-32) and Dallas Mavericks (55-27).  As the series stands right now the Spurs have a commanding 3 to 1 series lead, looking to close it out tonight in Dallas.  Will they do it?

Sorry Spurs fans (and I’m one of them), but tonights it’s all about the Mavericks.  Expect the Mavericks to come out shooting on fire, getting Jason Terry involved early and often.

I expect Terry, who picked it up in the fourth quarter of the last game, to have an astounding game. 

PREDICTION: Dallas 104 Spurs 91

Enjoy!!!

Saw this clip on ESPN and couldn’t believe the southern drawl remark.

I was browsing the web and came across the following video on notintexas.org.

Thoughts?

Facebook is heading to Austin!!

The social media network will open a 200-person sales and operations facility.

Watch a video on it here.

Primaries have begun!!!

Early voting ended Friday but no need to worry, polling places will be open until 7:00 PM so get out and vote.

Being a UT grad and avid sports fan I am more then excited in tonight’s showdown in Austin, when the University of Texas takes on Big 12 rival Oklahoma.  With both teams floundering tonight’s game gives each team a chance to pad their resume in hopes of getting into the NCAA Tournament next month.

PREDICTION

With the Longhorns coming off a disappointing loss to A & M, and going 3-4 in their last seven, I believe UT will be able to make a huge statement tonight and top the sooners 85-77.  I expect Texas bigman Dexter Pittman to compliment his 17 points with 12 boards.

While I grieve for the families affected by Thursday plane crashing into an IRS building in Austin, I happen to agree with many of the things Joe Stack said in his apparent suicide note.

Please let me know your thoughts.

With the big game in less than an hour I thought I’d give your my thoughts.

FINAL SCORE: Colts: 34 Saints: 27

MVP: Peyton Manning (27-36 for 289 yards) 3 TD 1 INT

As you should know, the spread is -3.5 for the Colts.  As you can see I am taking the Colts by more than the spread.  It is the combination of Peyton Manning being an absolute machine with all the Colts wide-receivers (Clark, Wayne, Garcon, Collie,) which allows Manning to capture his second title. 

At half I believe the Saints will be up by at least three points but the Colts will come out in the second half, as they have all season, and shutdown Brees and the Saints.
