Sunday Sundown Rundown - 4/7/13

3 Up

1. Wrestlemania 29 - Definitely knocking a huge one off the bucket list today. Yours truly is finally attending one. Hopefully, first of many more to come.

2. Brian Banks Dream Fulfilled- After spending five years behind bars for a crime he did not commit, Banks achieved his dream of scoring an NFL contract.

3. Michigan Basketball - It's been a long road since the days of the "Fab Five" and how the group not only put Michigan basketball in the public's eye, but also tore it down for years to come (Looking at you Chris Webber!). Nonetheless, they are back, and one win away from hanging a banner in Ann Arbor.

3 Down

1. Death of American Diplomat, Anne Smedinghoff - Always sad to see one of our brave men and women that love and honor this country killed overseas in a gutless bomb attack. 

2. Mike Rice/Rutger's Situation - Still cannot believe this is a story in the year 2013. College athletics at the DI level is riddled with more crime, deceit, and unetheical behavior than Washington D.C. Is college athletics even about students anymore?

3. North Korea Nuclear Missle Launch Threat - Seriously? C'mon, Kim!
