Free agent left-handed pitcher C.J. Wilson is in Florida meeting with the Miami Marlins. Wilson and his representatives already have met with the Los Angeles Angels. The Rangers signed closer Joe Nathan to a two year deal last week and moved Neftali Feliz to the rotation. Should Wilson sign with another club, the Rangers would get two draft picks as compensation. He won 15 games and had a 3.35 ERA in 2010.

The Guru of Go
It was interesting to hear the Hank Gathers story because I had never heard about it before the other day. It was amazing how someone who was so well conditioned could just drop dead and not be revived on national TV, although he had a health condition. On a positive note, the offense Loyola Marymount ran, scoring nearly 120 points a game really was amazing.
No I do not blame the coach for Hank Gathers' death, but I do blame his trainers and doctors. They knew he had this health condition and they should have monitored him more closely and let him not dictate what he wanted to do. Even if he really wanted to play, team doctors should have prepared for the worst case scenario.

Joe Paterno's name off Big Ten trophy
11/14/11
http://espn.go.com/college-football/story/_/id/7233492/big-ten-removes-joe-paterno-name-championship-trophy
As a result of the child sex-abuse scandal at Penn State, Joe Paterno's name has been removed from the Big Ten championship trophy. The Big Ten said that the crisis at Penn State began the decision to remove his name from the Stagg-Paterno Championship Trophy. The trophy will be awarded Dec. 3 at the Big Ten championship game. "We believe that it would be inappropriate to keep Joe Paterno's name on the trophy at this time," Big Ten commissioner Jim Delany said in a statment. "The trophy and its namesake are intended to be celebratory and aspirational, not controversial. We believe that it's important to keep the focus on the players and the teams that will be competing in the inaugural championship game."

Report: Big East extends six invites
11/2/11
http://www.blogger.com/post-create.g?blogID=9056090300681303060
The Big East Conference will invite Boise State, Navy and Air Force for football only and SMU, Houston and Central Florida for all sports. Thursday, the Idaho State Board of Education will meet about Boise State's future athletic plans. The Big East has been planning ways how to separate the league into eastern and western divisions. Temple, Memphis, and BYU are all being considered for the 12th member for football. Memphis, though, with one of the best basketball teams in the country, has one of the worst football programs. Temple might not want to be brought in because it will be sharing the Philadelphia market with Villanova. BYU might just want to remain independent. A source said that there is panic within the MWC and C-USA about possibly losing key members of both leagues to the Big East.
Big East Makes move after missing 4 turns
Since the all sports are much weaker in basketball, will the big east bring Xavier, Butler, or Memphis, schools with rich basketball programs?
