Tis The Season

OK,   I may have jumped the gun here...what does that mean?..."jumped the gun"....sorry about that...had a great trip up north visiting my son and his wurman for Thanksgiving ...took Sammi, too...she lurves to travel...and our return trip was an incredible 3 1/2 hours...what?... So what's been happening since I last wrote?... there is a truce in the Gaza ...and that is very tenuous...but anything is good, rather than killing people...let's hope a solution is in the works... Calm down you Laker fans ... it's going to take 20 some games to put in a new system ...and, they have to do it on the fly (what does that mean?)...really very little practice sessions...it could, just could be, you have an old, very immobile, weak bench, of a team...regardless of who's your coach...I'm just saying... WSU beat the Dawgs....totally unacceptable...not only do the Cougs have far inferior talent, but the jackass of all jackasses coach...these inter state games com...

Let's be real here...a bloke getting 138 points in a single game?... Grinnell College ...and they win by 75?...save it for the AAU T in the off season...this is not the good stuff...you make your own message on this fiasco... Israel/Hamas war is unstoppable...I just can't figure what the Hamas are thinking...a death wish?...Arafat figured it out, like 4 years ago...I can't imagine the trail of tears that is about to happen...so sad... Rampant reports about the Repubs ...which direction they are going...conservative, moderate, Tea Party,...on and on...they have 3 years to figure it out...have to think they'd start with Chris Christie...good lord, they spent a lot of money trying to get Mitt there...and, whatever happened to Ron Paul?...and the Demos?...Hillary the front runner, right now... Rumor market on Duck Coach Chip Kelley ...there are at least 3 NFL teams feasting on the idea that they could get him...you know, the Tampa job was his last season, if he wan...

Rest assured young Padre fans...your skipper, Buddy Black , has been signed on 'til 2015...hey, he's a good bloke...and this, Bolt management, is a good thing...not like what you are doing... Some very good matchups this week for collegiate football...and they will dictate where your fav team goes...like the Bowls...here we go... Oregon at OSU ...the line is....drum roll........10...favoring the Ducks...take the points and go to Vegas...the weather there is awful, right?...favors the D, and it's not like the Ducks...toss up game... Stanford at UCLA ...natural let down after a big win...wait, they both had big wins...favor the Cardinal...one of the best teams in the nation...too bad there isn't an 8 team playoff... UNLV at Hawaii ...hey, it's the battle of two of the worst teams in D-1...I'm going out here on this...take the...Islanders.... Michigan at Ohio St ...the line is 4...can the magical ride of the Buckeyes continue?...I'm saying yes...and...

Maroon Monday

You have your Black Friday, I have my Maroon Monday ...mostly negative thoughts...ooops...I'll try to balance them out, for all of you positive people out there... Tried to watch the American Music Awards ...there appears to be a huge gap between music and what was being discoed out to us...some lip-syncing, some dancing, some choreography, some pyro stuff, and a very little bit of real singing...sorry for this kids, but the worse than the Jonas Bros Award goes to Beeber, er, whatever he is...a fine example of producing with little substance...oops, that's from all of us haters out here...KC, do not wear a short skirt, yet...for as well as she is doing financially in the biz, Taylor has a very marginal voice... Carrie won the night, easily...have to admit, Pitbull seems like a lot of fun... NFL...another week where it is hard to figure out...the Pack survived against the Lions...showing why in a bad day, QB Rogers is a great one...Pitt has absolutely the ugliest unis i...

Bubble Burst

The bubble burst on the Oregon Ducks last night... AT HOME ...to the Stanford Cardinal , er, formally the Indians...I digress...in a match of two equal teams...the absurdity of the 20 point spread quite evident from the tip off...as your betting helper, Crazy Horze , has been saying all week... 17-14 win in overtime for the visitor...as their front seven on D masterfully handled the running game of the Ducks ...I didn't see that happening...every team in the country is going to want the dvd of this game to study... got to find a way to stop the Chip Spread O ... Stanford has it ... Nevertheless, each team had their moments...you can go back and second guess quite a few times, on what ifs...they scored at the end when they had to...and sent the game to OT...from there it was their kicker was better than the Duck one ...I have always said, it is a tough way to win or lose...to a little bloke who trots on to the field and decides the game...as everyone else, that is so banged u...
