Nancy Armour's Favorite Sport is Not Mine

One of my least favorite sports writers in America is the USA Today's Nancy Armour. What's my beef with her? She is as woke as they come, and, on the rare occasion she has a straight sports take, it is terrible.


So over the weekend I enjoyed watching multiple College Hockey games and checked out the fledgling UFL. I don't like basketball and watched a grand total of ZERO minutes of either the Men's or the Women's games. I usually enjoy filling out a Men's Basketball bracket, but I didn't this year. When there's no money involved, basketball kinda sucks.



Uh, no.


As I watch Futurama reruns on Hulu, I have no interest whatsoever in the LSU vs Iowa game. None. Armour's take? "Cover your ears and eyes and put your tender sensibilities aside because Iowa and LSU are about to go at it again."


Do you know why I don't like basketball? Because basketball has turned into a soap opera. You rarely see writers actually breaking down the x's and o's of the game. How do I figure? Armour's scribbling was so NOT about basketball, it had to be published in the OPINION section.


What my problem?


You mean today as opposed to any other day?


College Hockey is my sport and my team is the Minnesota State University Mavericks. The great Mike Hastings left Minnesota State last year to take over at Wisconsin. With that one move, Minnesota State fell out of the Frozen Four tournament selection, while Hastings took Wisconsin back to the Frozen Four tournament for only the second time in a decade. Usually we'd be angry, but Hastings took over for Tony Granato, our least favorite hockey coach of all time.


Hopefully Granato's next gig is as a used-car salesman, ACROSS from a hockey arena...



How did we get here?


You ever get the impression that you're just an angry old man shaking his fist at a cloud?


You know a BC vs BU game in the Frozen Four Finals would be intriguing...
