Chalk

The better seeded teams won 'em yesterday...ie, were the Oregon Ducks. ..who beat a mighty game OK St team...in a fun one...and the Aztecs. ..who looked dang good in their W over St Johns...and an east coast squad the scribes love... The seeding, or even, the making it into the Big Dance ...when losing 6 of the last 7...isn't a deterrent?...hmmm...and how was the refing?...every game is called differently...no duh...you have to adjust...it's part of it all... The Zags ...hmmm...did not think they played all that well...barely escaping their game with N Dakota St... Louisville got a huge non-call in theirs with the west coast rep... Duke looked tuff...Wisconsin in a laugher...and the Hawkeyes of Iowa ( one of my misses) had a super effort...all 4 Pac 12ers won...hmmm... This weekend will prove it outright...and there should be some goodees... my bracket? ... 27-5 ...not bad, huh... OK, I am doing the GaGa thinger over the Pads ...their parts are coming togethe...

Bracket Mania

Seems like everywhere you turn, the peops are talking about THE BRACKET!. .. the college hoops thinger ...and all sexes to boot...go figure...maybe bigger than the Sooper Bowl...bracket busters, they are called...the teams that beat the bigs... two of the upsets yesterday were by number 14 seeds...knocking off number 3's ...and the UCLA win was a gift by them refs...and that's my only losses...I am 13-3 ...so far, so good... Another day today...ie San Diego St. ..and the Ducks of Oregon ...look for some crazy stuff again...and the big key?...some rotten calls...enuff of that... I love the pattern of play by these teams ...it's much better than the Pros...really...so much movement, by the ball and the players... The Sound of Music ...the special that ABC ran by Dianne Sawyer was wonderful...and a perfect setup for the flick...which we watched right after... one of the best movies...EVER! ...so many things that we noticed because of the piece...it was "breathtakin...

In Fact

Me brain churns a lot...at what many of the pundits are screaming... "the collegiate game of basketball must change" ...to the present style of play of the NBA...what?...NBA?...even the morose of an analyst, Jon Berry, decries to a 38-36 score in it..."these have got to stop!"...ah yes, the beautiful play of the NBA...pick and roll...find a guy stationed on the 3 point line and fire away... Gone is the beauty of the game ...the patterns..the ball movement...the post up play...there are those who still do some...the Spurs and the Hawks...in fact, it was how SA beat the Heat last year...spend more of the clock and get the ball to the guy that LeBron was guarding...he quit after 12 seconds...and stationed himself at the hoop...ha ha...it's true... The shot clock is really the culprit...those morons want to adopt the 24 second one to the college kids...the real reason is that they want to rid themselves of any defensive play...the team that they want to rid the...

Start Up Page

Ever since igoogle went down, I have struggled with a cool start up page for my computer. ..and have happened on Protopage ...check it out...and I have also found that Firefox works much faster than the Apple standby, Safari ...at least for me, it is way faster...and that's what I want...SPEED!...some still use Yahoo, AOL, MSN, IG Home, amongst others... Protopage allows you to put what YOU want on YOUR page...so far, real pleased... I got that many of you are so polarized in your party affiliations, that you would turn your eyes and ears away from your party's pick...true that...BUT...you Demos must have to watch and listen to the Hillary situation about the cell phone agenda...she's been in and around politics forever...and she chooses to do her own thing?... something is smelly ...politicians...just another example of my concerns about 'em... I trust you have finally seen the season ending show of "The House of Cards" ...did NOT see that comi...

St. Paddy's Day

Good morning lads and lassies....it's the time of the Irish ...and all us heathens will share on the festivities , right mates?...don't forget to wear something green ...as you wouldn't want to get pinched throughout this day, now would ya?... Have you filled out your Big Dance bracket? ...I have given some hints of my pix...and if you think "chalk", then you have figured out mine...which means going with the favs, for you rookies...there will be some upsets on the lower tiers, but do think that the best will emerge...which I am rarely right on...maybe it's better to go by colors... Lots of pundits don't like the collegiate game ...doesn't resemble the pros...no duh...the game itself is in shambles...it has become a drive and dish affair of 3 point shots...by all...and the art of having, and using a big man...is pretty much gone...in the pros...still is used in college...thus, the dominance of Kentucky and Duke...who still play the more conventio...

The Heat

These things happen... the heat , my gosh, the heat...it's 93! ...and in Sycuan?...the same!...something about the Santa Anna winds ...TG the heat pump got fixed last week...it's been a welcome relief...I did not drive the ball as well as Wednesday, but putted much better...ah, the game of golf...85... Zona had a no match contest with the Ducks for the Pac 12 Champ...I really don't know what Oregon runs or their theory on the game...haven't for a couple of years... the Wildcats?...for sure...dictate tempo and defend you...real well ...a number one seed?...should be, but the east coast bias will put Wisconsin in instead...boo... Today the bracket is announced...I have no idea about most of it...I do know it will take a mighty huge effort for someone to knock off Kentucky . ..clearly, the best team in the land...at least, regular season... SDSU lost in a defensive struggle to Wyoming... the guys just can't shoot ...which I have said all year long...too b...
