With a collection of some of the best players in college basketball on display, there will be quite a few people looking for SEC Tournament tickets this year. The 2010 SEC Tournament will be held in Nashville, TN at the Sommet Center. The University of Tennessee will be the hometown favorite as Bruce Pearls' Volunteers try to use the placement of the tournament to their advantage. Pearl has Tennessee ranked in the Top 20 in the country with big wins over Florida and Kansas on their resume. The Kentucky Wildcats will be looked on as the team to beat for the SEC title having dominated the conference for the majority of the year. Point guard John Wall has become a national star and is poised to pick up a SEC Title for the folks back in Lexington. Back in January, the Wildcats did lose to the South Carolina Gamecocks, whose Senior guard Devan Downey leads the conference in points.

The Vanderbilt Commodores are having a great year and could be returning to their 2007 form, when Vandy made a run to the Sweet 16 in the Big Dance. The University of Mississippi will try to defend their 2009 SEC Tournament Championship, but this year the Rebels are on the bubble for the NCAA Tournament and could really use a good showing in Nashville to help their chances of being a part of March Madness 2010. Florida has rebounded after a tough year in 2009 and is back in contention to win the tournament. With a ticket to the NCAA Tournament on the line, a team lower down in the SEC standings like South Carolina, Alabama, or Auburn could make a surprise run to finals. No matter who prevails March 11-14 in Nashville, basketball fans will have four days of high-paced SEC basketball to enjoy.

The first major PGA tournament of the year is almost upon us with The Masters Tournament at Augusta National Golf Club drawing nearer each day. Golf fans are on the prowl for 2010 Masters tickets, so they can witness when the next green jacket is given away. Names like Jack Nickalaus, Fred Couples, Nick Faldo, Gary Player, and Tiger Woods are all engraved on the Masters Trophy in Augusta, Georgia, but it could be anyone's guess who will join that historic grouping this year. The Masters in reason years has seen unheralded professionals like Zach Johnson and Trevor Immelman surprise everyone by winning the tournament in 2007 and 2008 respectively. Johnson wasn't even a Top 50 player when he won The Masters and Immelman's victory was only his second win on the PGA tournament in his career. Phil Mickelson last won in 2006, when "Lefty" edged out Fred Couples for his second Masters title.

Last year Angel Cabera became the first Argentine to win The Masters defeating Chad Campbell and Kenny Perry in a nail-biting two round playoff. Big name golfers like Mickelson and Jim Fuyrk will look to make a run at Augusta, but keep a look out for the up and coming Steve Stricker who finished second in overall PGA winnings in 2009. Whatever transpires this coming April 8-11, we will be in for a weekend of drama-filled golf featuring the best in the world.

With Houston Rodeo tickets on sale, the month of March has a lot more going on than just college basketball. The rodeo, livestock exposition, and concert festival has been taking place for 79 years in Houston, Texas. Elvis Presley, Lynard Skynard, and Garth Brooks have all headlined the historic festival in the past. The 20-day festival of bull riding, Bar-B-Que, live music, and cattle is put on in Reliant Park annually, averaging almost two million visitors a year. Some of the biggest artists in country music and beyond will be playing the Houston Rodeo this year including the Jonas Brothers, Kenny Chesney, Justin Bieber, Rascal Flatts, Brad Paisley, Mary J. Blige, Tim McGraw, the Black Eyed Peas, and many more world famous acts. Attending the Houston Rodeo is a great way to celebrate the Texan way of life and see some of the biggest names in music. Make sure you’re in Houston this March as the event seems to get bigger and better every year.    

Fans in Daytona will be getting their money's worth on February 6th as NASCAR has combined the two-day Daytona 500 qualification weekend into one day to avoid competing with Sunday's Super Bowl. Racing fans on Saturday will be able to see the Gatorade Duel followed by the Lucas Oil Slick Mist 200 of the ARCA series followed by the Sprint Cup Series' Budweiser Shootout. Fans will start the event with the Gatorade Duel setting the stage for the following week's Daytona 500 (Daytona 500 tickets are still available) as drivers battle for position in the following week's mega-race. Then one of the biggest names in racing, Danica Patrick, will make her much anticipated stock car debut in Lucas Oil Slick Mist 200 driving the Go Daddy #7 Chevrolet. Patrick is coming of a career year in 2009 where she finished 3rd at the Indianapolis 500 and 5th overall in the IndyCar Series.

Jeff Gordon, Dale Earnhardt Jr., Tony Stewart, Kurt Busch and more of NASCAR's brightest stars will then compete in the 32nd Annual Budweiser Shootout. Hot off winning a Grammy for Best New Artist, the Zac Brown Band will perform before the Budweiser Shootout and after the race. Parking is free and there are a wealth of ticket deals and drink specials available for racing fans. I doubt there will be another NASCAR event all year where you get the same amount of entertainment for the price of admission. This Saturday should be a good time for those at the Daytona International Speedway.
