Welcome to The MOST; a spot where you can kick around your thoughts on the latest stories from the past weekend on your favorite sports.
This is where you can offer predictions of the upcoming playoffs, or complain about the latest trades. Let's keep it clean and open, and respect your fellow Kossacks' teams or players.
This will generally focus on the major sports---but feel free to add any sport you wish to tell us about.
(Hopefully, this week we'll generate more comments; or I'll just drop the idea...)
GOLF
Gotta lead with the best Golf Tourney of all: The Masters...Tiger flails away on Friday; and drops from sight on Saturday. (Rory also had his troubles on Saturday.) Meanwhile Phil made his move on Saturday, only to implode on 4th hole on Sunday with a triple bogey on par 3.
Crying like a baby, Bubba Watson won on the 2nd hole of a playoff; after an incredible recovery shot from his tee shot.
Watson parred the second playoff hole to defeat Louis Oosthuizen.
The winner cried after hitting the winning putt and cried again in Butler Cabin when asked about the day. "I just kept my head down...kept grinding it out."

Lady Bears win it all for Baylor; and Calipari wins one for KY
How soon does he move on???
Kentucky coach John Calipari said Wednesday he isn't going to coach the New York Knicks or any other NBA franchise for the foreseeable future.
sure, John...
Seems as though the ban on UConn Men's basketball from 2013 is a little harsh, considering the time frame of the grade scoring--hopefully, a compromise can allow for a good program not to be ruined for 2-3 years.
And, looks like Bobby Petrino, Ark FB caoch will be looking for a job soon
