1. DUKE wins 4th NCAA Basketball title!!
April 6, 2010 started out with opening day for the White Sox. McLovin and I got to see Buerhle's defensive pay of the year and the Sox beat the Indians. But McLovin knew that I was getting nervous about a college basketball game that night. There are years as a Duke fan that I am optimistic about a national championship (1992, 2001- except when Boozer got injured in the Maryland game). But this was not one of them. If fact, I was still in some disbelief at the final buzzer as my phones started ringing (TEG letting out a scream of joy in my ear!)Duke was not ranked #1 at any point of the season. I don't care too much for ranking my favorite Duke national championship year, but this year with Zoubek stepping it up in a huge way, Scheyer washing away the sins of Greg Paulus, and Lance Thomas fitting the blue-collar role. All the Duke hate out there may add to the sweetness of #4! Without Kyrie Irving, I don't think that 2011 will bring #5, but I have been wrong before!
2. After 49 years, the Blackhawks bring Lord Stanley's Cup home! While not the biggest Blackhawks' fan in the world (I got to 3-4 games a season), this was a sweet ride for the entire city. A great season with certain players- Toews, Kane, Hossa and Duncan become stars in the City. Another great parade for the city and another reason to be proud and gloat.
3. White Sox- No postseason, but some great winning streaks during the year include 25-5 (if I recall correctly). And beating the Cubs in the Crosstown series (second year in a row) and finishing with a better record than the Cubbies is Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice!
4. Da Bears- Let's ignore the 2009 season. After attending the Bears preseason loss to the Arizona Cardinals- I though this team would be lucky to finish 3rd in the division. NFC NORTH CHAMPIONS!!
5. BULLS- The future looks bright. D Rose is maturing into an annual All-Star and MVP consideration. Some good free agents signings (BOOZER!) and a return to the playoffs!!
Here's to more fun, enjoyment and championships in 2011!!
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
6. How could I forget DUKE Lacrosse- National Champs, baby!!!!
