CRAZY HORSE

The state of D-1 collegiate sports...is it now ... PROFESSIONAL? ... the players are paid, via the NIL...sometimes ludicrous amounts of cash...the transfer portal is a joke...many players go where the money is the...MOST! ...well, no kidding...there are more rules on movement in the NFL and NBA, then there are in the collegiate ranks...do these players go to school?...the fact that they once got a 'free' college diploma...is pretty much a gone incentive...how many stay long enough to get one?... Look at the CFP...how many of the players were in the same school the year prior? ...case in point, the scorers in the recent Notre Dame game...for the Irish, all came from other schools...ah, schools?...or football teams...you certainly can not call it a 'program' anymore...imagine trying to recruit a high schooler to your 'school'...seems like everyone would be lying...the student, the coach, and the cash incentive... The Clemson football, they tried to stay out of the...

The cast is now set.. .the FINAL FOUR...for the D-1 Crown...the Natty Title ...whatever you want to call it.. .as Notre Dame bested Georgia yesterday, for the final spot in the bracket...cool. ..and thus gave the bye sweep of the playoffs...the 4 with byes, all got beat...which begs the query of how this was set up...the committee sits in limbo for a couple of months, and still screw the whole thing up... Yes, the Horse had Oregon vs Notre Dame in the champ game...1/2 right? ...we shall see... Ohio St looms the heavy favorite in my book (I have a book?)...to beat Texas ...and you got it...the Irish over the Nittany Lions ...these games are next Thursday and Friday... The terrorist stuff...radicalization ...this must all be done online, right?...do they have meetings in person?...are there groups that regularly meet?...can't all be by the web net, I think...the guy in the Muskmobile ...the police say he was a Green Beret...and loved trump...so, why?...more info needs to be dug ou...

Well, we weren't what we were...in 2024 ...as the Oregon Ducks fell to the much deserving Ohio St Buckeyes in the Rose Bowl ...phase II of the CFP...led by the former Duck, and current OC of OSU, Chip Kelly ... the scarlet and white ran over, around and threw the ball with precision strikes...seemingly confusing the UO D...preparation? ...or, just a fired up team...we just didn't have answers...all season long, I have been worried about our play calling...yesterday, was one of them...?... BUT...you can't disregard the entire year...this team, I did not think would get this far...did though...and this is a chilling thought, it reminded me of the very first Lanning coached UO team when he first arrived in Eugene...a thumping 49-3 loss to Georgia...after that loss, things went really really we'll.....let's hope the same happens this time... In the other playoff game...Arizona St played their hearts out. ..in an OT loss to the highly heralded Texas Longhorns ...there ...

Wooah, Horse, it's not that...2525, Zager & Evans ...but, 2025 ...only 5 centuries apart... a very Happy New Year to you all! ...we were retired by 9...maybe sooner...cheers to those who kept on... no celebration here at the Home...guess we need to find a new party leader...as voted on by the local clan...in reality, if you want the job, you get it... Of course, the main item of concern today...is the Rose Bowl ...where the Buckeyes of Ohio St face off with our Ducks...again...it's a bloody rematch...the Vegas Boyz have the OSU team a 2 1/2 point fav...we shall see...it's a 2 pm kickoff, west coast time...in Pasadena...in that antiquated old stadium...been there a few years back and not again...the tele is my source now... Tragedy in N'orleans ...a goon rammed his pickup into the crowd there...killing more than 10, and injuring countless others...he was killed in a shoot out soon after...we are waiting on more details...who was he, and why...this is the headline for...

The end of the year, 2024 ...is upon us...the cheers of joy and whatever...on this eve...well, not so much for us...as we are the elders...we take it all in stride...watch the pixels of the world, doing what we are not...celebrating...hope to last until after 9... As per usual, all years have their ups and downs ...for us, physically, it has been wondrous...as we altered our habits...the bloody blood test, made us keenly aware of problems...we fixed it...it's a good thing...our kids and their kids...it is so fun to watch their growth...becoming little people that we are so fond of...distance is always a problem for families...the emergence of the Duck football is a kick like no other...can they continue on tomorrow?...we shall see...the downer, of course, is the political thang...apparently, over half the voting population is in favor of it...so, pop the popcorn, and let's watch the show...finally, friends...we are so blessed with them... Since I have been writing me blog, I ha...

Good morning, kids...as we finish up the year 2024...the news of the passing of President Jimmy Carter is the headline for most web sites...he was 100 years of age...led a great life...and we met him as he was running for the job, way back when...very charismatic...for sure...RIP.... The blog title for the day...is most unsettling...you must have seen it used around the web....perhaps, on the pixels... DOGE ...anagram for what?...get this...it is a proposal by orange and his best buddy, Musk...a NEW agency, that they say we NEED for the USA...it stands for Department of Government Efficiency. ..yup... headed by Elon and yes, Hootenanny ...if accepted into the rigors of the country...it has endless powers to 'clean up' the government...imagine, letting those two wallow about in the history of the USA...and change what has been established since the beginning...hang on to your seats, and pop the popcorn...I for one, will not stand by and let this go unchecked...will follow every...

Here we go...the new regime is going to exit all the illegals out of the country...so they have promised...and then this...according to acting VP-elect Elon Musk and his right hand man, Hootenanny...there is some people that we need in the country...ah, illegals that will help us...you see, the dynamic duo have expressed the concern...that the US doesn't develop enough techies...to float our boat...other countries (India and China) do...thus we need them...yes, illegals...via a thing called a H-1B Visa ...let them in, and the others, ah, they go...how many, just as a guess, Horse?...well, 'they' say it is capped at 65,000...with a wiggle room of 20 grand more...the catch is that they must have a guaranteed job in line...so all the tech companies, ie, this government...will interview the illegals...and then they get the H-1B Visa ...and yes, your guy trump is buying into it... 'trust the musk' is the new trump motto...should be on the new caps 'TTM' ...and s...
