The University of Georgia's mascot, Uga VI, died last night in his sleep. You know that I am not a Georgia fan; in fact, I really dislike them but you also know that I just love that dog!
Regardless of which Uga it was, it's always the best mascot in sports and you gotta love them! I love the way he just barrels onto the field, barks at the camera-man and of course, watching him resting on his bag of ice.
According to the article below and his owner, Uga died peacefully in his sleep in Savannah. I know all dogs go to heaven so rest in peace Uga!

Euro Cup 2008
I know, I know, no one who reads my blog is a soccer fan but I must admit, the Euro Cup has captured my interest. I am not a big soccer fan either but I do watch the World Cup every 4 years and I have been watching the Euro Cup this year.
Tomorrow, Spain goes against Russia in a semi-final match and the winner goes on to face Germany on Sunday. I've only one thing to say: VIVA LA ESPANA!!
Also, Wimbledon is going on and Le Tour de France begins July 5th. I'm a huge cycling fan and especially for Le Tour so I can't wait as I will be glued to my Versus channel throughout July. Hey, I gotta watch something waiting for college football and since my Braves are sucking.
By the by, freakitos, I am in Vancouver, Canada this week for work and I must say, it is a beautiful city. Speaking of that, I have to get ready for dinner so ciao for now. There's a lot of sports going on this weekend and next week for a summer month so tune in.
Ciao.

Alas, It Is Over
The NBA Finals ended last night, thank God.
Fret not dear NBA fans because the season starts back up again in about 3 weeks (insert lots of sarcasm here)!
Geez.

College World Series and Other Misc Items
Well, well, well, my freakitos, here I am FINALLY making a new post on my blog. It's been awhile and I do apologize for that. I'm not making any excuses but it's been a busy 5 months for me work-wise and that's why the blog has suffered. No excuse though.
Anyway, I wanted to talk about the college world series that starts this weekend. My beloved Hurricanes are the top national seed and will start out playing Georgia Saturday night! Now, I'm a little concerned because there are so many expectations for the Canes that I have a bad feeling about this. They should beat Georgia easily but...... GO CANES!
I also wanted to touch on the NBA finals because an anonymous poster gave me shit about not writing about it and here is what I have to say: I don't give a DAMN about the NBA finals!
Off topic: What about Big Brown? Ugh, horse racing needed a positive outing and the Triple Crown would have been just that but Big Brown had other ideas. No one will ever know, barring health issues, why Big Brown ran the way he did last Saturday in the Belmont but what a disappointment. It literally broke my heart, HOWEVER, not as much as the heartbreak I felt when Eight Belles was euthanized on the track at the Kentucky Derby. I still believe that horse racing needs to be evaluated for the better of the horses and if Kent Desormeaux (I know I misspelled that) felt that he "had no horse" last Saturday, then I'm going to go with that. I would rather that and have the horse lose as he did than have a hurt or dead horse for the sake of a Triple Crown! Maybe next year...
It's only 2 months until the football season and it's gonna drag! And I would feel pleasure in the thought of baseball but let's face it, my professional team is spiralling (I know I misspelled that as well). My hometown Braves cannot win on the road and lately not at home either. I can't talk about it anymore, just as I will probably never see a Triple Crown winner, I will probably never see my Braves win another World Series.
And with that, I will leave you for now. Take care my faithful readers and thanks for stopping by! Ciao.
