Breeder's Cup

Image
Due to whatever illness I gots, I am watching the Breeder's Cup on tv... For my pix this weekend I'm picking all visitors...not a smart thing... The Blazers survived last night against the Spurs, who lost Mr. Longoria to an ankle at the half...still not liking the way they are put together... Could LeBron be any less subtle about him going to the Knicks next year...his interview after their match with NY was awful... And why having Muslims in the services is a good thing? Dux and the Cardinal today...big concerns... I hate this cold!

Deplorable

Image
Is there a worse word than deplorable? Hard to imagine a major in our own army going more haywire than this guy...I don't care how much security you have, the act like this can not be stopped at the moment...however, there were many signs that he was a deranged guy...actually a doctor...his Muslim faith had a lot to do with his actions and , I may show my ignorance here, it is a path that all of our service people must investigate...his rant of "God is Great", just makes me wonder, what God is he talking about?...the passion I have for eliminating this type of garbage...is tantamount to nothing else I feel...let's see what else comes out... The Pix...what a change... Orygun over Stanford...continues the Dux streak over the Cardinal...close one Cal over OSU...waffled on this one a lot...I fear the Bear USC over ASU...really thought that the Sun Devils were better than they actually are TCU over SDS...it's really by how many? OSU over Penn. St....3-2, really a clos...

Stay Out Of The Sun

Image
There is so much sun around here, we have to put a shade source over Sammi... As I predicted yesterday, the Yankees won their 27th World Series Title last night...Pedro just didn't have the stuff to stop NY from doing a whupping on the Phillies...is Jeter a stud or what...as well as Mariano... I am reading the Ted Kennedy book, "True Compass", and find it enormously informative...as I thought I knew all about the Kennedy clan...great and fast read... I have gots a cold and am happy it's not the flu... SDS admitted that they had a maximum of 60 students at their last game vs. New Mexico...can you imagine that at Orygun or at OSU? The BSBCS...there are still pundits out there that say it's the best system...in lieu of a playoff...I am a fan of the ESPN's Around the Horn...and Plaske from LA is a big BSBCS proponent...Mariati (not a fan)...is a 180* from him... I still can't find a reason to pick the Bolts over the Giants on Sunday...teams have been getting t...

PDX Blazers, What?

Image
I try to say nothing but positive stuff on my teams...oops, failed on the Pads, but so did they...let's go to the Portland Trailblazers...................................................................................................................................................................... so much for the positive...now the negative...I purchased the NBA package from Cox so I could follow them as much as I want...I'm not so sure I want now...OK, it's early and all that crap but...let's look at what they did to improve themselves in the off season...lost Frye to the Suns (he's starting and scoring at a double digit rate), lost Sergio to the Kings (young gun), signed PG Miller (2nd rate and not a good shooter), signed the ancient Wolverine, Juann Howard (never plays)...so in essence lost 2 young guys for 2 old guys at the same positions...I can't figure out the offense they are running...the posts get in foul trouble every game and they have to go to a ...

American Idol

Image
It's about time I talk about the music industry...releasing a new CD today is none other than Carrie Underwood, recent American Idol winner...she was on Letterman last night and is on Good Morning America this am in her publicity blitz that is so common these days...I've heard parts of it and it's pretty good, although not great on the first listen... Rod Stewart singing Motown...actually not that bad...as he continues singing covers from all over the map... I have been listening to an oldie but goodie lately...Dinah Washington...trying to figure out what greatest hits CD to buy... Tim McGraw's Southern Voice is the best guy's music out in a long time... Do you dig Michael Buble? He has a catchy feel to his stuff and I like it a lot... Adam Lambert releases his inaugural disc next week and it's going to be the hit of the year...I am real curious what his direction is going to be... Have you heard of Uncle Cracker? I really like his latest and you should give i...

Bolts Win

Image
Talk about frustration!..the folks around here are crazy...upset about the Chargers not winning by more than they did...hey, this the NFL, and on any given day, the worst can beat the best...well, the Bolts are not the best...but, they are a decent team and the Raiders are a QB away from being OK...they have a goofy head coach, but it's the thing anymore...LT had a couple of scores and that will make him a happy camper...next week...at the reeling Giants... The Blazers won at Oky City (Supersonics) as KDurant was a miserable 3-17 from the field...still, PDX has problems that need to be addressed...yesterday the Oregonian had some inside stuff on the internal probs there...not what you want to see in print...by the way, don't overlook the Suns this season... The Yanks just a win away from garnering their 27th crown...really?...it's true and they are going to get it...the double steal by Johnny Damon was one of the top 5 plays ever in a world series... Remember when they were...

A Rout

Image
Well, I shouldn't say I told you so...but I told you so...the Dux could run on the Trojans...and how!...almost 400 yards worth coupled with another 200 yards worth of passing, Orygun routed USC and put itself in the path of the BSBCS...one thing I do know is, the Trojans are not BSBCS material...regardless, a remarkable win as many marks of firsts against the Pete Carroll Trojans...worst loss, etc...fact is the Dux are on a journey that didn't look like it would happen after their opening game disaster at Boise...cool stuff... The pix, 5-0, and I am now 38-7 , big win for the Beavs (didn't cover the spread), as they scored late to beat the Bruins...Iowa seems to have just enough to get wins...reminds me of Northwestern about 10 years ago on that epic journey... The Blazers in disarray at Houston...what is the offense they are running? NY took it to Philly at Philly...oops, it's looking like a Yank thing... I was using the remote so much last night that I have to change ...
