Mr. Guy Moore is the owner of the Garnet & Gold stores in Tallahassee. They sell all kinds of Florida State sports stuff. My Dad and Mr. Moore became friends last year and he has been sending me some really cool autographed things from former FSU players who are now in the pros. I'll show some of the players.

This week I received an autographed (to me) photo of former Seminoles star defensive player, Ernie Sims. FSU retired his #34 jersey and he has had two great seasons with the Detroit Lions. He's led the Lions in tackles both years and last year he had 106 tackles!

Dad wishes his arms looked like Ernie's.

ESPN.com has an article predicting that Ernie Sims will be one of four NFL defensive players to have a breakout season in 2008. Check it out.

Thanks Mr. Moore!

Prophet Presson Picks the Plum

Kansas was not my favorite team in the NCAA tournament but I picked them to win the Championship.










Chalmers hit an amazing 3-point shot with 2 seconds left to send the game into overtime against a stunned Memphis team who couldn't recover from shock. Once again, I beat Sports Illustrated's experts and made more winning picks from the Sweet 16 all the way to the championship. SI picked UCLA to win it all.

I correctly picked all 8 teams that made it into the Elite Eight. I predicted Davidson's win over Wisconsin even though Dad tried to talk me out of it. Davidson with Stephan Curry was the most fun team to watch. They came up just short of beating Kansas for a trip to the Final Four.

We enjoyed seeing the Tennessee Vols women get their second national championship in a row. We came so close to having the men and women champs in Tennessee.
