Dilemma

So what's going to happen?...the collegiate hoop corruption is so widespread, that a quick firing here, and a quick suspension there, and a forfeiture of games...and on and on ...will that clean the game up?...year upon years of paying players...whether be it by boosters, or alumni...or wherever... will it stop?... There is lots of talk about forgetting the one and done for the prospects to go to one year of college , prior to being eligible for the NBA draft...maybe go back to drafting right out of high school ...maybe, expanding the D League , which is now called the G League , as per Gatorade...there is money everywhere, huh...and t he players would go to this league in lieu of college ...hmmm... There you go... pay 'em right away ...like they probably are now... WOW! ... this would absolutely destroy collegiate hoops ...for awhile... Alumni and boosters are out of control ...listen, this would stop money going from them for basketball...and it does not address th...

Chill

Not sure where all of you live, but down here in SoCal it is cool, make that, COLD! ...our low is in the 40*s ...yes, you are reading this right...couple that with a chilly wind and we are in unchartered waters...and YES, that is the headline... The obvious, that this month of February has the fewest days in it...but, it does seem to go faster than all the others by a week...didn't I just pay them damn bills?...sure seems like it...oh yea, and we are waiting for the new Beamer...for some odd reason, makes the days go quicker, too... Ryan Secrest is the latest celebrity to go through the 'me too' thinger...I dunno, this is getting weirder and weirder...this one has some more of that 'hush money' involved...requested by the accuser...way back when...makes it harder to buy into... Baby steps...in the groundswell ... Dick's Sporting Goods is no longer going to sell the AR-15 and the like...takes a bunch of these and we will get there, kids...eventually...le...

Tuesday in the Hood...

You'd think that living down here in the warm weather climate, that SNOW would not hit us much...here in the Hood, not...but an hour east...yea....in Julian ...infamous for the 'Apple Pie'...it's our occasional getaway...however, we haven't been there for the white stuff...go figure...this is what hit last eve...interestingly, as the first 3 years here, it didn't even rain...this winter?...some rain, and lots of cold...4 1/2 inches of the SNOW... I tried to send a video and a still of it to some people that, in my estimation, needed to see it...ha ha...and some of them didn't receive the pix...what?...'exceeded limit'...'invalid address'...'can not read encryption'...and a few other reasons for it not going thru...so much for the speed and consistency of the emails... Some times it is better to say nothing at all... Prez T said that he would have run into that school in Florida, even WITHOUT a gun, to do something to stop th...

My Monday

Yes, this is what triggers me in the am, like on Mondays ...holds me joe...and is an essential part of the day...as we have a brief respite in these 2 weeks of extreme business ...make that extreme traveling ...some things can't be changed and there you go...er, we go... The Honda in Florida...an OT win for the best golfer on the planet, Justin Thomas ...man, is he a slightly built dude, or what?...so much for pumping iron to make you a better hacker...he did so, with a heckler in his path, too...hmmm...and Tiger ...got er going and was making a charge...but, plopped his tee ball in the agua on the back 9, and that was that...still, there is promise for him... I have been talking about the corruption in D-1 hoops ...no more damning than what the FBI let out on the HEAD COACH of Arizona ...they have him on a wiretap talking about funneling $100,000 to a prospective player...yet, the subjects in question, not only him...feel they will be vindicated...what?...this is an em...
