Paul gets it right again!
It had to be, Paul the Oracle Octopus has cemented his predictive abilities of the 2010 FIFA World Cup in history with Spain’s 1-0 victory over the Netherlands in the final.
This is it ladies and gentlemen, Paul the Octopus has made his final selections for the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa. After correctly predicting six matches, the final and third place matches are now selected.
Paul selects Spain for the Final and Germany for the third place match
Spain will be your winner for the final against Holland and Germany will take the third place spot in the match against Uruguay.
The outcome of today’s World Cup 2010 Semi-final match was just as predicted by Paul the Octopus, as Spain beat Germany thus improving his prediction record to 6-0.

SDSU Men’s Basketball Team Lose to Tennessee in First Round 62-59
I’m not much of a Basketball fan. Don’t ask me why, I’ve just never had too much interest in watching the popular sport. This year however the fact that the San Diego State University Aztecs (men and women) basketball teams made it to the first round of this years’ NCAA tournament certainly grabbed my attention.
SDSU have never won an NCAA tournament game and this year seemed like a good year to finally win one. Now I understand why they call it “March Madness.” The fast-paced and exciting action makes for rapid heartbeats and sweaty palms. There were times where I was making sure that it was excitement due to the game and not a heart attack.
With the health concerns in check (at least for the moment) SDSU could never really capitalize on the mistakes Tennessee made. They had a lead in the early minutes of the game but after the Aztec lead was lost it would never be recovered. I kept screaming at the television for them to “stop trying to score three-pointers and go for two. You’re all not THAT good!” Sure enough SDSU ended up losing the game by a score of 62-59.
A good effort for the boys in red and black. Speaking of which San Diego Mayor Jerry Sanders declared yesterday that today Thursday March 18 officially be “Red and Black Day” in honor of SDSU Aztecs basketball.
Now its up to the women to outdo the men Sunday at 4pm when they square off against the University of Texas Longhorns. Good luck!
