i have a serious sports hangover

wow, for the first time in a long time, the teams i rooted for went 3 for 3 (mets, florida gators, yankees). i thought last night's florida game was really entertaining, though no one else seems to agree. even though it was a relatively low scoring affair, and florida dominated ucla, i thought florida's aggressiveness was completely riveting. they never let up. and i love that a player, like noah, didn't have to score 30-40 points to be considered "player of the game." his blocks and steals will create as great a highlight reel as the team's sweet treys and dunks.

si has some great photos from the game...check them out

in other news, randy moss has purchased a stake in the inta juice franchise. (i've never heard of inta juice. there aren't any inta juice outlets in ny or nj, but it sounds very similar to jamba juice, and elixir.) moss will serve as vp of marketing and a board member, and will open the first west virginia inta juice franchise in his hometown of charleston in may 2006. (no jamba juice locations, as of this date, in west virginia. so it seems moss and inta get to test the market.) moss reportedly became enamored of inta juice back in his minnesota vikings days, and inquired about the franchise as an investment opportunity. moss was reportedly sold not just on the business model, but also the notion of promoting healthy eating habits, especially among children. with moss's investment, inta juice, a privately held company, looks to pursue an aggressive growth strategy that doubles its size by 2008 (there are currently 30 locations, but the company has deals in place that will increase that number to 100 by the end of 2006).
