Ducks in Natty!

Image
That sounds weird, huh...but, yes, the Oregon Ducks are in the National Champ Game! ...lambasting the east coast rep, the Florida St Seminoles ...and the east coast pundits...and the lame ESPN analyst and former UDubber, David Pollack...geez, I seem vengeful...am not...it was more than I could ask for... 59-20 wham bam thank you mam...eegads, that's sounds awful...I must stop using those terms...there you go, another RESOLUTION!... And will face the Ohio St Buckeyes ...what?...yup, the SEC fell flat on it's over-hyped face...what I alluded to, prior to the Sugar Bowl...is 'Bama not what we think?...is that conference the analyst's dream?...and BAM!...most lost...let's be clear here...OSU dominated...and it could have been worse ...trouble in the red zone early in the fray... I will find out this am as to whether I am going to the Natty Game ...it's a possibility...and easier for me to get a flight out of here, than up in Orygun...right?...lots of thi...

The Rose Bowl

Sunny Cali ...sure you say...ridiculous weather now...so COLD! ...let's hope Pasadena has better than us down here...it's the grand daddy of them all...so it is said... THE ROSE BOWL! ...as the Ducks play the beast of the east, Florida St ...with the obnoxious chants of the Seminole Nation ...just to quiet that awful thing would be worth the Victory... It's a 2 o'clock start and we are pumped...there are plans to go to the champ game in Texas if UO wins...if... You think that there aren't just a few pundits eating their words as to the abysmal showing of the SEC in these silly bowls?...LSU, Miss, and MSU all tumbled badly...and so did the prestige of the conference...hmmm... is Alabama not what everyone, i.e. me, thinks?... Arizona also laid a goose egg at home ...against Boise...and the coach...I mean c'mon...you can yell at your players...but to this degree?...and all the announcers seem to fancy his name as Rich Rod...short for Rodriguez...he nee...

Bye Bye '14

Image
The last day of this year, 2014 ...and I bid it, adieu ...which brings me to this...how in the world is the word bye , spelled that way?...I'm sure as you went through your English classes you were bewildered by the spelling of many of the words we use....or by the many spellings of the same pronounced one... bye...buy...by ...it's not like the Hawaiian way...where you emphasize every letter in the word...makes more sense to me...oh well... Minashu...er, minutia ...see what I mean?...it is what I'm all about, I suppose... I see things, and I write about them ...I'm not deep...no way, no how...but I am perceptive...ha ha, it's all about me...me me me...and that's what today is... resolutions ...maybe you do this...make a list of things that you want to accomplish in the next year...and rarely, and I mean, rarely, get 'er done... There are some things that need to be changed that we have no control over...we just observe and do more hoping than anythin...

Soon to be Seen

Yes, it's true...I'm not too keen on the trash that has hit the pixels...but there are some that tickle me in a good way...and are about to be unleashed...one is our fav, Downton Abbey ...if you haven't seen it yet...go back and start from the beginning... airs on PBS on Jan 4... The setting is in England...in the late teens and twenties of the past century... the cast of characters and the writing is absolutely splendid ...the entire new season will be sent to me about mid Jan...from Amazon... My other treasure is House of Cards ... Kevin Spacey as Prez ...from Netflix ...and begins soon...I'm not sure of the date...and it is also one, that you must start from the beginning...if you are not a regular follower...you'll thank me later, I promise... Whenever you have the inmates run the asylum, you have chaos...such is the case for the NBA's Cleveland Cavs ...sure, you know, King James' team...as he is underperforming ...and they brought in some aver...

The Best of 2014

Image
Hey now, no complaints about my worst...and that's a good thing...I know some of you wanted the entire K Fam included, but I did so in a secretive manner...the top of the good chart is fairly narrow...not sure I can even come up with 10...ha ha... I'm going to leave out any politician...well, I would anyway...as there is such apathy to the whole process in this country...when you have only 36% of the peops voting...and before I get going, I am deeply saddened about another plane going down in Euroasia...something is way wrong there... Here's Horse's best... 1.  Marcus Mariota ...who led the UO Ducks to the final 4...and won most every possible award for "best of" this season in D-1 Football...a class act...and will also probably win the 1st pick in the NFL draft...Tampa Bay...if he chooses to go...not a certainty... 2.  AJ Preller ...who?...the new GM of the San Diego Padres...that's who...he has generated more excitement to this area than anyone I...

The WORST of 2014

Why not start with the WORST? ...ah ha...Horse's version of the good, bad, and the ugly..of this past year...2014...well, not the good...I'll save that for tomorrow...I'm feeling very negative, so this will be easy...you may not agree with me...but, I'm doing the writing...and if you choose, you can rebut me...ha ha...this is a compilation of all sorts...and there are a whole gaggle of nominees... As I look back at some of my posts, it's easy figure out some of the culprits...and situations that lead me to put these together...here we go... 1.  The inflated arse ...didn't we work real hard on slimming this down in the past?...now, there are some who pay big bucks in getting their's to be the biggest...can you imagine following one of these, while jogging?...er, even walking...OK, there are those of you out there, will say it is the look of the year...and somewhat sexy...ha ha...not the Horse... 2.  Movies ...what?...I mean all of 'em...as the hyp...
