Now THIS Was Unexpected

Image
This team has been driven by great defensive play ... San Diego State ...it's been the trademark of the coaching style of Brian Dutcher ...he convinces a group of 12, to give up individuality and play as a cohesive unit...knowing when to double, when to release some players, and do what most do not anymore, box out...take pride in every possession... No better example of...than last eve in their Big Dance matchup with highly favored Alabama ...the overall number 1 seed in the tourney...great D, and a power O...the Aztecs are not great shooters...never have been...but timely baskets, and relentless D...wins...Covid throttled one other SDSU team, a few seasons back...but this one, well, they did beat the Tide...and move on to another, in the Elite 8...versus Creighton... We took off to Salvatories to celebrate the win...looks like we are in the place alone, weird...as it was slammed... The babble that trump throws out...is almost shocking...even coming from him...as he is calling f...

A Professional Blogger

Image
As we watch these reality shows...we do, don't we?...and have no idea who the people are...until the screen shows what their job or profession is...could be anything...the new ones that kind of stand out are 'social influencer' and 'professional blogger'... wait, what?...professional?...how does that happen?...if you write a blog, then you are sort of a social influencer...thus, one can say that is the same occupation...my 'between jobs' thing, shall be changed... Knowing I had this awful 7:28 tee time, I chose to sleep early...leaving the UCLA stomp over the Zags at half...the Bruins were up 13 and cruising...making Gonzaga look totally inept and not worthy...THEY WERE NOT WORTHY!...case closed...oh my...when I started to read this am, much to my SHOCK...the Zags won?...what did they do differently?...had to be monumental changes in their scheme...the Horse thought they had zero chance... I call all 4 games today in the Big Dance EVEN today...yes, no pix......

Just 15 Minutes

Image
I doubt it...it won't take 15 minutes to read the latest Horse blog ...now if you figure out the English mistakes, it might...the non-sentences...the bloody 3 dot dot dots...it's just the way the mind of the Horse thinks...then writes...really, makes little sense...we both understand that... The tat...tattoo...that many of you youngins get...it's a sign of independence...? ...character?...expression?...forever?...then, you have to wear things, that will show it off to the rest of the world to see...ah ha, I get that...so, why on earth would you get one on your arse?...yes, the Horse was in line for one, too...a peace sign...but, I had to stay out of the water for a week...no way...so yea, I am tat-less...want more?...some scientists are weighing in on the phenomena...that puncturing your skin that way, may lessen your immune system...hmmm... There is a Bachelor type of show now on ... 'Farmer Wants a Wife' ...of course on FOX...hosted by the Sugarland gal, Jennifer ...

Ran out of Popcorn

Image
The party was a bust...as he was not incarcerated after all ...the promised extravaganza did not happen...well, it was trump's call...and the masses thought it may be the truth...alas, like what he always does, he told us another lie...he was not arrested this fine Tuesday...the Orville Reddenbacker popcorn was awaiting...dang it all, a plan busted...kept waiting for the Breaking News...he was in handcuffs...a total sham...good for him that 'his people' disregarded his call for another protest...and waste their allegiance on a non-happening event...perhaps, later this week?...we have the popcorn ready... Oh my, did harbor in on the finals of the WBC...USA vs Japan ...the last out was a doozy...two Angels pitted against each other...Japan's Ohtani, vs USA's Trout...Ohtani struck him out on a pitch that NO ONE could have hit...as Japan won the crown...in an upset... Today the Match Play in the PGA commences ...always a fun diversion from the stroke play T's...mano...

Stock Market High

Image
Nothing like waking up to some green figures in the Stock Market . ..like we can do much about it...like watching the pixels, and yelling at the refs...not sure if they can hear us...but, it has a calming affect on the viewers...if they would just stare at the camera, and give the viewing audience a T...wouldn't that be a hoot?...it's similar to when Steph Curry missed his first FT in 15 tries...then looked over at the TBS announcers and pointed at them...their fault...or your guy trump, slobbering all over himself, in one of his revivals...saying the most trashy of all things...and you want to scream at the bloke...he can't hear us...but, wouldn't it just make our day if he could?... Speaking of him...to my knowledge he hasn't been arrested...yet ...could be flying in his monster jet above the skies of the east coast...as to not landing...not on the ground, then no handcuffs...(ABOVE the skies?...in the skies)... Read this article this am, about who his VP might be...

Party Time?

Image
Is it not in good form, to throw a party to watch trump arrested? ... popcorn, nuts, chips and your favorite beverages ...is this some type of ploy that the bloke has come up with?...trying in vain to rally 'his people'?...or, is it more of a show, that he can only bring to the pixels?...he needs, he wants, he plans, for points that the polls show, that he gains...well, he is right...we all are wondering and watching... pass the popcorn, please ... When I hear 'Party Time', my mind wanders to the one and only Chubby Checker ...you know, the Twist dude...his real name is Ernest Evans , and he is still with us...81 yrs young...he grew up in Philly...one of his classmates was none other than Fabian.. .but, his origin for his name came from Dick Clark's (Mr American Bandstand) wife...she asked him what his name was...'they call me Chubby'...'like as in checker? '...it stuck...Chubby Checker...good time music, kids... Over yonder, like in Russia...I am t...

Teamwork

You know, I thought the game of hoops was gone, as I knew it...thankfully, this D-1 playoff bevy of teams, proves otherwise. ..there is coaching going on...lots of it...there are patterns to the way it is played...again...some are even outstanding...real plays with real sets...cool... it is a far superior game than the next step up (?), the NBA...and, it's not even close when we get to the defense...terrific schemes are used, and guys are buying in...it doesn't happen in the Pros until their playoffs...those front 82 games are just a precursor ....anyhoo, back to the Big Dance... UCLA, Princeton, and 'Bama have my nod for the first set of 8 ...will see the rest today...uniquely coached the 3 I mentioned...Alabama has a lot of depth and so very fast... Now, there is this bloke that coaches Arkansas ...he is a piece...don't get me wrong, he does a good job...but, he is a bit out of wack...they love him, he is all theirs... Gotta add this...there USED to be pattern play in...
