Week 1- This week in sports

Many different events happened throughout this week in the sports world. First of all, the Super Bowl took place in New Orleans last Sunday. More than the outcome of the game, all the media talked about was the power outage that occurred during the game. The Ravens had quite a comfortable lead at the time and when the power when out, the tide seemed to turn and the 49ers. The Ravens held on to be crowned the Super Bowl champs, but had the 49ers made the comeback happen, the power outage could have been turned into a much bigger deal. (Not to mention, I thought the commercials slacked a little bit this year too),
Next, Tiger Woods ran away with his PGA Tour victory at Torrey Pines. Tiger won the tournament easily by four strokes after taking an early lead from round one and never looking back. The next weekend, Phil Mickelson dominated the field with a victory at TPC Scottsdale (I'm a huge Phil fan so it made me more happy than watching Tiger win). This sparked lots of talk with arguably the two biggest name golfers on tour winning in consecutive weeks.
This past week, National Signing day for college football took place. It almost seems as if it is just as big as a rivalry game now days the way it is broadcasted all over. Clemson signed a solid class of freshman which gives us high hopes for next football season, along with our quarterback Tahj Boyd deciding to come back for his senior year. With me also being a big Tennessee fan, our new coach Butch Jones also had a decent class for his first year behind the wheel coaching the Vols.
Finally, the spring time is arguably the most interesting time for the sports world. Baseball season is getting ready to get under way, college basketball begins to wrap up and we all know what that means, March Madness, and of course the greatest weekend in golf takes place in Augusta, Georgia when the Masters rolls in. Therefore, that should help to assist for many more sports posts on the blog.
