Lots to talk about this evening - if you want some sports talk. NCAA Basketball Tournament gets under way this week. MU and KU both have number 2 seeds. Two very good teams that have the potential to make noise in the tournament. In addition the conference gets Baylor, K-State, Iowa State and Texas in the dance. Should be fun.
How about some football thoughts? Do the Chiefs have a shot at signing Peyton Manning? My thought - doubtful. One of the things Manning is looking for is a commitment to winning. It is hard to make a case for the Chiefs having shown a strong commitment to winning over the past few years. Hopefully that will change but probably without Peyton Manning leading the way.
Back to basketball. The NAIA tournament (small colleges) tips off with the 75th anniversary event this week. Among the 32 schools earning a place in the national tournamet is Baker University. Baker is the only school in the field that participated in the first tournament. That was probably becaue one of the co-founders of the tournament (along with James Naismith) was Emil Listen, the former coach and athletic director at Baker. They maede a return trip in 1941. Not been back since. I plan to be at Municipal Auditorium and cheer on the alma mater.
It's a good time of year to step back a bit and rest up some. This is a fun time of year for me.
In the meantime I continue reading through the Scriptures along with a large number of our people at church. We continue our series on The Story this coming weekend. Looking forward to seeing you this week.
It's been a good day I hope you've had a good day too.
