Maui

Morning all.  And I do mean morning.  It's 4 am here.  I'm on San Diego time. The flight was long.  Almost  6 hours.  Head wind they said... The room wasn't ready.  We had lunch at Aloha plate lunch.  Something like that.   Good.... Went to super market.   Got tons of stuff for the 2 weeks.  The room still not ready.  Swam in pool.  Great... Finally got to the room.  Wonderful.  They gave us a gift certificate, box of chocolates, and a bottle of wine.   Anniversary welcome.  Well, Aloha! Fell asleep by 6 pm.  Been up since 3!... Mahalo.  Time for some Hawaiian coffee.

Week 1

OK, I have some time this am...got up a bit early so here is my take on the NFL games, WEEK 1... The Titans mauled the Bucs...and the two top picks were on display...and yup, the best of the lot...UO's Marcus Mariota set all type of first game records...threw for 4 TD's in the 1ST HALF...and the top pick, James Winston, was awful...his first pass went for a TD, for Tennessee!...it was crazy...and like what CH has told you all along...there is no comparison between the two... The Bolts came back from a 21-3 deficit...with some very aggressive D...and Philip Rivers carving up the Lions...think the key play was when Detroit's QB Stafford got belted on a blitz...was not the same after...BIG WIN!... In a game full of blunders and bad coaching...the Cowboys came from nowhere and beat the Giants in Texas...where NY should have put them away, many times...questionable play calling was the culprit...and...I think Eli Manning is scared of his shadow... The newly coached Buf...

Morning kids! ...in a few minutes I'll bolt away to try to get some upgrades for the flight tomorrow...bear with me...ah ha...and how are you all doing today?...calmed down from the Duck's loss at MSU...let's get in to this... I agree with my son...both of these teams are not great ones...too many flaws... final 4? ...nope...I really don't care to get into the Spartans reasoning...but much more so, with Oregon...I expected a shoot out...and felt that the D would give up points...as they will all season long...regardless of the opponent...as I have said now for 2 seasons, the defensive coordinator is a problem...the team is confused and in bad spots...and my good fellow from the north, tends to think I may be correct...the tackling skills are lacking... OK...this was a given...has been for awhile...BUT...another issue has surfaced...in this fast break type of O...which when it is clicking, is a thing of beauty...has had one common thread dating back to when Chip wa...
