It's way too nice a day to stay indoors, so I'm going to keep this post as short as possible.
Both of this weekend's biggest games kick off at the same time: 8:00 p.m. Saturday night. Michigan-Iowa and Florida-LSU are certainly deserving of that honor, but there are a few other interesting matchups this weekend too.
Of course, there's Phillies-Rockies Game 3 and US-Honduras as well. Steven Goff of the Washington Post has a great piece this morning explaning how the closed-circuit broadcast situation for the soccer match came to be.
Before getting to the Top 10 Chart, one sad note. Ben Ali, the founder of Ben's Chili Bowl - my all-time favorite restaurant - passed away last night at age 82. Those of you who've been there, whether you're from the Philly area or the D.C. area, know how good it is.
