Time Flies

Hard to believe how fast time goes anymore, crazy that Labor Day weekend will be here soon, and of course Purdue football! I like fall but I hate fall, I like it because it means Purdue football, but I hate it because it means winter will be here soon BLEH. 6 Days til kickoff, I have contacted the first person about being a guest picker, I pretty much told her she has to say yes so we'll see what she says haha. Who does your team open up with? The SEC looks to be the best conference yet again, but don't worry they will be taken down big time once basketball season arrives :)

So, who is excited for fall tv to come back? It's no secret I am addicted to television, watch way too much of it. Can't wait for all my favorite shows to come back! I can't remember if I blogged this or not but we recently upgraded our cable package(ya big mistake I know) now get close to 900 channels as well as DVR which is really nice. I'm really excited for Glee, did anyone watch the sneak peek after American Idol this past spring? I thought it was really good, not sure about other new shows, probably going to try that Flash Forward show as well.

The US Open tennis tournament starts Monday, I am stoked for that. It's the last grand slam of the season, early favorites are Federer and probably Serena, but who knows on the womens tour. I like how Fed is playing what a great year he's had, won the French, and Wimbledon and in doing so broke Pete Sampras' career record for slams, then he and his wife had twins! CRAZY! I have always liked the US Open, partly because it's the one in the states, but more for the atmosphere. The spectators don't really follow the general rules of tennis especially at night matches and that makes it more fun to watch. For the men several come in with a good shot of taking out Fed, those include, Murray, Roddick, Djokovic, Nadal. I just don't see Nadal winning this one though, which is fine by me since I am not a fan. The women have several contenders as well, of course Venus, Dementieva, Jankovic, and of course my favorite who has returned after having a baby Kim Clijsters! I have to say I hate the ESPN has the rights to the open now, I worry how their coverage will be. USA Network had the rights previously and they did a fantastic job, even when matches ran over time they never bumped it, or stopped showing it they kept going not sure we'll get the same coverage from ESPN. Also, I hate Chris Fowler calling tennis he never shuts up! Should be fun to watch regardless, here are my picks for Semi's, upset specials, and your winners

Women
Don't Bet On It- Dinara Safina- Even though she's #1 she'll go out early mark my words
Semi's- Jankovic vs Dementieva
Serena vs Venus
Champion- Serena over Dementieva (hard to pick against Serena)

Men
Don't Bet On It- Nadal needs more time to comeback from the injury has never done great at the open
Semi's- Federer vs Djokovic
Tsonga vs Murray
Champion- Federer over Murray(Just can't pick against Fed Express!)

Alright that's all I got for ya, everyone have a GREAT week. I will be posting again late Thursday night with the first Football picks of the season! Go Boilers!
