NCAA BBall Comes To A Close and Baseball Season Begins!


      So the first week of April is upon us and already there have been many events that caught the worlds attention happen, specially those that follow college basketball and have awaited for baseball restlessly during the season. Of course there are more things that occurred these past two days, some good, some bad, but college basketball is a huge deal in the United States, for some reason it is the one of the most taken seriously sports in the US, schools get out after victories, everywhere you go in town there are school flags and discounts for students, it's an all out love for the sport. Hence why we couldn't not reserve an article just for these celebratory moments, these are important events though fleeting they still hold something special within them and should be celebrated.


       To start us off we must tip our hats to Kentucky for defeating Kansas, it was predicted that they would but many hoped that that would not be the case. The game itself was really good, Kansas put up a fight but they did not play their best, hence the loss. The horrid nightmare of playing someone like Kentucky is that in order to win you cannot make mistakes, specially consecutive mistakes, you need to play your best and hope that they play their worse game in the season, its a tough thing to do, and no one is mad at the Kansas team they played like champions it was too bad that they lost. A great win for Kentucky though, with their good season and all, too bad you'll be losing so many players to the NBA draft, hopefully it won't damage the team too much.


     We must also celebrate Baylor's lady Bears for their 19 point victory over Notre Dame, this was the 40th undefeated game for the Bears in the season breaking the NCAA record for most games won in a season 40-0. Baylor University is having an amazing year in sports, with RG3 winning the Heisman, the boys basketball team getting to the elite eight and losing to Kentucky who won the tournament, the lady Bears having an undefeated season and now there are rumors that their baseball team is also packet with talent, guess we'll just have to wait and see on that one, we congratulate anyone over at Baylor, truly you've been having a great year.


    We can't not talk about baseball season officially starting this week, though there were the two games on the weekend, today is when everyone else starts playing. Today's big game being between the Cardinals and the Miami Marlins, which is the big champion versus the new favorite rookie. Since the Marlins were bought last year they have gotten a very good team together, from management to players everything is looking good, thus many commentators have begun to speculate about how they will make it to the playoffs this year, some have even said that the Marlins will win the World Series Tournament, we feel that that is a little too soon to say and a very bold guess, which we think would be fun if it came true.

    And there you have it, consider yourself updated, there are a ton of things happening this month so if sports aren't your bag do not worry, there are a ton of things to talk about still. We hope your week has been going well, and pray for those going home during this Easter break that you may have safe travels.

NCAA Basketball Finals, TMNT, and top 2 April Fools Net Jokes


    The month of April has just started and there are tons of things going on, from March Madness to drama over movies, to finally getting a response about Mass Effect 3 from Bioware, to getting closer to our expected awesome Summer movies, to getting to experience some pretty awesome April Fools jokes in the net yesterday, April is shaping out to be a good month. First things first though how could we start a post about April without talking about the March Madness finals today, surely it will be an epic game. We also have to lift our hats up to the lady Bears and Notre Dame who made it to the NCAA women's championship. Baylor being the favorite there with an undefeated season, but finals are always tough therefore there is no telling who will rise to the occasion to win this game.


    Kentucky vs Kansas will be playing in the March Madness finals tonight and hopefully it'll be a game to remember. This March has been absurd, schools that should have gone farther lost in the first round, upsets in every corner and deep rivalries coming head to head, it's been a really fun tournament overall. The favorite to win tonight is Kentucky obviously with an amazing team, but if Kansas plays like they did two Sundays ago they could easily stand a chance at winning the title. For sure though we have to mention that is Kansas plays like they did this past Saturday then there is no way that they will take the title, Louisville played the best against Kentucky and gave us one of the closest games versus Kentucky in this whole tournament providing the whole league with an example of how one needs to play in order to defeat them, if you missed it, then we recommend that you catch some replays. For sure this year's March Madness was epic and tonight's game will surely continue the epicness we've seen occur this entire tournament.


    The next bit of news if about 2 weeks old, though we fear that some of you have no idea that this is happening thus the need for us to bring this up. There is a big controversy going on right now with Michael Bay's new rendition of the "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" where he has decided that they will no longer be mutated turtles from Earth but actually part of an alien race that comes to take over Earth but the four rebel and save the Earth from their own people. This was obviously a huge deal in the fan community of the series, even worse though is the fact that this show has been around for a long long time, so Bay not only had to face the wrath of the new audience of the show but the old audience as well. So far there has been no backtrack to this statement and the movie is still in production, the creators of the show have backed Bay and stated that this will bring the story together, but this has not helped Bay's press at all, bringing the creators in was a good touch but a foolish one, the Internet wasn't kind to George Lucas when he changed his work, what made Bay think that the Internet would be kind to the TMNT creators escapes us. Anyway the movie is set to release next year under the title "Ninja Turtles", surely we'll hear more about the movie before then so stay tuned for more news later on.


    As for April fools day, we think that Google took the gold, Google always has really funny April fools videos, and this year was no exception.


    In second place we thought this parody of the Xbox 360 Kinect using "Assassin's Creed" was brilliant, the Kinect is a motion sensor device used for games, it's kind of silly and hasn't become a huge thing yet, maybe in the years to come it might that more precedence, that is if technology aids it.

   April is shaping out to be a really fun month, though we understand that many of you have finals coming up in the horizon, thus we will keep you all in our prayers, and remember to take some breaks in between life to enjoy what is around you, don't rush and don't let school get you down :)

   We hope you're Monday is a great one and pray that this week will be fantastic,
