The Big Dance, Maybe...

The reason for the conference tourneys...in D-1 hoops...guys and gals...is to get the champ of it...into the BIG DANCE...right?...where as, their schedule of regular season wins might not have...they didn't play the elite schools...you know what I talking about?...however...isn't there a however in the stupid rules of the NCAA?...the governing branch of all the participating schools and their teams...

We have such an exception just this season...in the Atlantic Sun Conference...the winner of their T, was Bellarmine...a 2nd year school upgrade from a lower class of divisional play....there is this rule, that it takes FIVE years before the school can represent the conference, if a school upgrades...what?...you are hearing me right...Bellarmine won the tourney, but can't represent the conference...imagine...what type of crock is this?...

Wonder who came up with this?...

The Russian War continues on...in what Putin thought would be a quick win and establish his satellite government with very little resistance...is not so...be aware of the neighboring countries, too...Poland in particular, is beefing up...offering the use of their war planes to Ukraine...and the commentary from Putin's own people in Russia...seems split..for and against...geez, that sounds familiar...

One of the upkeep duties of the 2nd home...er, the RV...Cosmo...is the maintenance...not cheap...but very necessary...finding those who do the service is not easy...those who one can trust...we think we have one...he is in the doctor's office now...getting his checkup and his lubing done...

These MLB owners are rearing their ugly heads...another week of canceled games...this is a classical union busting item...or an attempt of one...

Major trade in the NFL..as the Broncos got their new QB...Seattle's dude...Russell Wilson...for a gaggle of draft picks and 3 players, to boot...listen, the pundits are raving about the pick up for Denver...me?...I think the Seahawks came out on top...so many quality picks. 2 first rounders...for a squad that needed a face lift...

Off to the links...you KNOW I am going to be a hack today...coming off a good one...that is what we do...good bad bad bad good bad bad bad bad....think I am a bit sensitive about the game?...naw...
