Weekend Wrap up

As I sit in the living room with Pierce watching a stellar Jon Stewart Daily Show, I figure this is a good down time to write.

Kelsey arrived on Thursday and stayed through this afternoon because we got a freak snowstorm up here and it iced in everything - including trains. Unfortunately, none of my classes were canceled, but I persevered. We grabbed sushi at Kanki on Friday and then got snowed in for two nights. Thankfully Domino's delivered last night. Kelsey grabbed a sausage and pepperoni and I got a chicken and tomato. Mine randomly came with garlic butter sauce all over the crust which made it deliciously gag worthy. Out of 5, I would rate it a 3. There you go, an official rating on this "new" pizza.

Unranked UNC lost to UVa in Chapel Hill which represents the worst loss since before Williams arrived. Joe Lunardi was on ESPN and said we were NIT bound if we did not win Thursday against VT. I say we're NIT bound anyway.

In other basketball news, the Charlotte Bobcats won again, bringing their record above .500 and in the middle of the East's playoff race. Larry Brown is doing a great job, but needs to find some 4/5 and 2 help at the trade deadline. I'm watching them play against a Brandon Roy-less Portland and they're not looking too good. Portland is one of those young West teams that are fun to watch, so a .500 team from the East would naturally be overmatched. Interesting NBA news: Kevin Durant is eclipsing Carmelo Anthony for the league scoring title and Durant just turned 22. This kid is going to be a superstar.

In Panthers news, Julius Peppers's agent has reported to ESPN and the Charlotte Observer that Peppers has almost certainly played his last game as a Panther. I'm not sure what is going to happen, but the Panthers have GOT to get draft picks out of this situation, but Peppers is an unrestricted free agent.

To cycle back up to the Daily Show, Jon Stewart just did a tremendous piece on President Obama's Q&A with Republicans followed by a one on one with a White House economic adviser. Best show I've seen in a long time. To follow that, Stephen Colbert won a Grammy last night and is parading it around during his show.

Before I sign off I'd like to remind everyone that Bank of America stadium in Charlotte will be hosting a Mexico v. Iceland World Cup friendly on March 24.
