I Should Have...

Image
'I Should Have Known Better' ...hey, it has nuttin' to do with hoops, but the title does apply to my thinking, or lack thereof, when making out my own March Madness Bracket ...the song, is by the Beatles ...of course, and the lead on it was John ...part of that crazy black and white monster flick, 'A Hard Day's Night' ...where millions of adoring fans actually went to the movie houses and SCREAMED!...how bizarre was that?...the Brit's hysteria that choked the USA...well, probably most everywhere...unbelievable...back to the meaning of the words to now... Sometimes, when you (I) start picking the winners ...er, guessing who will win...you get blinded by whom they are playing...for instance, there are teams that win their conference...have like 25+ victories...and barely get higher than a 13 seed , or is that lower?...cuz of who they play...and them pundits well tell you that their season was nice...but not worthy ...what?...and then you get some team t...

March Madness

The luck of the Leprechaun ...call it what you want...but it was needed by them Irish of Notre Dame ...in their opener in the Big Dance...as they squeaked by...there were others...witness the debacle by the 'brainy' Vanderbilt guys ...intentionally fouling while ahead...in the closing moments of their loss to the dahlings of the T, Northwestern ...the tantrum by the kid Pitino that helped seal the fate of his team... this one and done event, has the makings of many deflations, elations, and creations ...today?...them Ducks go at it...amongst others trying to win the crown... What's going on in the Trump World? ...make that Prez T...well, it never stops... the warning to North Korea ...cease and desist...hmmm...listen, you are talking to a kid trying to run a country...blinded by the light...figures that if he shows military strength in his region, that everyone will fear him and leave them alone...I am referring to the North Korean, right?... The Ryan Care may not ...

Practice?

'It's just practice'...'c'mon, man...it's just practice' ...ah yes, the infamous words of wisdom from the legendary PG from the Philly 76ers... Allen Iverson ...when talking about missing a session...of practice... 'it's not the game' ...well, now the Horse is venturing out into newish territory...going to take some, gulp, golf lessons ...from a Pro...my biggest fear?...that he quits his job cuz of moi... I'm not too good a student... The anti-Trump world is ablaze this am...like every other day...in elation that a judge (now 2) has blocked his 2nd edition of the Travel Ban ...seems to me...that most of what he wants to do, is going to be blocked....somehow...this time in the courts...most others are going to be in Congress...checks and balances, kids...checks and balances... I mentioned the WBC yesterday...and the passion that some countries have for it...the dominance in the beisbol world...well, the games are in San Diego now...ov...

March Madness

Aloha, Eh! ...one of my favorite tee shirts of all time...that I got in Maui this past vacay...well, geez, that's the weather around here...it was 90+ out at Sycuan ...and I got tired from the heat...either I need to use an umbrella or ride, captain, ride...'Blues Image' ...I digress... So you are an unbiased reporter on MSNBC ...ha ha...I know, there are those of you out there that lurve her... Rachel Maddow ...who fires from the hip...and uncovered a Trump Tax return from...2005 ...what?...let's see, I found a '04 receipt from Nordstrom's that tagged Barak somebody ...I'm just telling you kids...relevance to now?...and THIS is the topic from most all my 11 sources...stop the madness... A report that just hit the airwaves...that the ISIS foos are in disarray and surrounded in Mosul ...now THIS is the topic that we should be centering our thoughts on...here and now... Have you filled out your bracket(s) yet?...let's see, I have entered 3 dif...

Hack

Morning, kids ...this old boy is hitting the links early today...so, this is just a hello and I'll see ya mañana...don't give up on me... The Bachelor picked the right one...don't you think?...and...now the real drama begins...trying to figure out if what they have is sustainable...getting out of the make believe world...and into the daily struggles...or, the cool part of new...right?... Who you have in your bracket?...I tried to beat Duke ...couldn't do it...my thing was to eliminate all the Big 10 (14)...I'm never right on this stuff...even though, I watched more college than I have in the past... For you Northeasters , the onslaught of the snow has just begun...how is this going to affect the Big Dance?...a wrench in the schedule...probable...

Just Words

Chatter... When you hear that word, does it not make you think of surveillance of the bad guys on social media?...'the CIA has picked up some chatter that suggests____'...my, how that word has changed it's meaning... Snubs... The NCAA Big Dance field was announced yesterday...and them pundits talked about it the rest of Sunday...gave their two bit analysis...then looked in aghast, at the Vegas Line...that differs greatly from the so-called prestigious number one seeds...that play the easiest games in the opening of the T...of course, which teams didn't make it?...these are the 'snubs'... Meaningless... For most of the colleges and universities in the Nation...for their hoop team's dream is to get into the Big Dance...they get there by winning the season ending league T...not so, in the 'Power Conferences'...in fact, they don't even have to come close...witness, the Kansas Jayhawks...who lost in the FIRST round of theirs...and STILL go...

Lonely Tonight' ...what's yours?... So you live in Texas... 'All My Exes Live in Texas' ... George Strait ...and you buy a premium ticket months ago for the Warriors/Spurs game ...reportedly, two of the top teams in the NBA...and boom!... Golden St decides to do a pop and rest their star blokes...and San Antonio does the same with Kawhi and Aldredge ( serious stuff with him, heart prob)...thus, you have the battle of the reserves...it's the way the regular season has transpired, mostly thanks to Coach Popovich ...who n...
