Sports Television Weekend

Thanks www.usatoday.com for the copy/paste material below. Saturday highlights for me are the morning Barclay's game (love drinking coffee to soccer in HD), Louisville vs. West Virginia (more Big East awesomeness - do yourself a favor and little to Bill Simmons podcast conversation with Chuck Klosterman about what makes the Big East so great this year), Duke vs. UNC for the ACC regular season title and the OVC Championship for who goes dancing.

Pretty good slate of games to miss today, but hopefully GPS and McCallie will make my trip to Nashville worthwhile. 

Sunday will revolve around Kentucky vs. Tennessee at noon, but I'll be flipping channels to keep an eye on the Miami Heat's implosion as they face the Bulls (while DVRing the bowling on ESPN because I have become a bowling dork). I'm heading over to Finley Stadium for the MLS game at 4:00 which means I'm missing Wisconsin vs. Ohio State. I might also try to catch UTC play in the Southern Conference tournament at the arena if they get through today. If not, hopefully the Lady Vols will play for the SEC title at 5:30, then the New York Knicks vs. Atlanta Hawks finishes off the night.

Hope this helps plan your viewing weekend.
