WHAT THEY MIGHT BE DOING TODAY ...

The joy fans felt when Gophers hoops won at Indiana might be longgggggggg forgotten.

Kevin Love might be feeling just fine, thank you, considering he looked absolutely gassed the last time the Wolves played.

The Daytona 500 might be playing to a limited audience. Anyone skipping work to watch the Great American Race?

FIVE THINGS

Danica Patrick's much-discussed move to stock cars has certainly been a hot topic at Daytona. How five other open-wheel converts fared in their first Daytona 500:

A.J. Allmendinger: 3rd, 2009

Sam Hornish Jr.: 15th, 2008

Dario Franchitti: 33rd, 2008

Juan Pablo Montoya: 19th, 2007

Tony Stewart: 28th, 1999
