The doctor said I wouldn't have so many nose bleeds if I kept my finger out of there.
I actually have some things to say today. Now whether they come out in any form that makes sense, that’s another story.
I thought that last night’s Duke/BC game was great. Duke looked like they were going to run BC out of the gym in the 2nd half, but BC hung tough and made it a game. I also thought that Jared Dudley outplayed everyone else on the court, including Redick. But I can’t watch Duke on ESPN. At least with the sound on. It doesn’t matter whose doing the game, they all get down on their knees for Duke. It really bothers me.
Vitale went off on some tangent last night about how he hates the fact that teams are jumping conferences for football and money. He sited to examples, BC and Penn State. Hey Dick, live in the now! PSU’s been in the Big Ten since 1994 when it became clear to their athletic department that being an independent wasn’t going to work anymore. They didn’t jump conferences, they joined one. What an idiot.
Vitale also compared Redick to Kirk Hinrich. Once again, the player that these idiots are comparing Redick to is a point guard. And has always been a point guard. What a bunch of idiots. While Redick is a better shooter than Hinrich, he’s nowhere near the ball handler and doesn’t have the same kind of quickness. Are these people actually watching basketball?
Bowling Green’s football program actually signed six guys that were ranked in scout.com’s top 150 by position. That’s a big deal for a non BCS team. Last year we only had one, so that’s a good jump. And I was glad to see them sign some talent on the defensive side of the ball, since, well we didn’t have a defense last season.
I was thinking today of how much I love TV, and that not having cable would be like living in a cave. But then I got to thinking that when I was growing up, between the ages of 11 and 14 I didn’t have cable. We lived in the country and couldn’t get cable and this was before the mini dishes. We had an antenna so we got the major networks, but there was no ESPN for this guy. Of course my dad and both sets of grandparents lived in town so I got doses of cable. How did I ever survive?
I was checking out the Arena League website today to see if any former BG Falcons were still hanging around (no, by the way) and I stumbled upon something very interesting. Crazy Alonzo Spellman is playing for the Las Vegas team. Doesn’t that seem like a bad mix? A crazy person in America’s craziest city. Awesome.
Speaking of the Arena League, I think that its pretty awesome that they were smart enough to put a team in Vegas while the major sports are worrying about what putting a team there would do to their image. I heard an interview with the AFL commissioner about year ago and he jabbed the NFL the entire time. Mostly over the Vegas team and the NFL not having a presence in L.A., which the AFL does. But from my experience, you shouldn’t poke bears.
I’m getting more excited by the day about this upcoming Seattle/Draft Trip. John, you better not blow this and get fired in a month. I was looking forward to Montana, but that wasn’t a sure thing for me financially. This on the other hand is. I’ve never really had any desire to go to Seattle, but now that I have an excuse to go, I bet I’m really going to like the city.

Even if I do get fired or quit in a month (which is an extremely likely scenario), I'll just put April's rent on my credit card and go into irreperable debt just so that you guys will have a place to stay for the Draft. I'm that dedicated.
Also, did you know they're making an Arena League video game? If you can score 40+ points on Madden or NCAA, I bet you could easily top 100 regularly on this game. It might be the best idea ever.
I saw that game. It does look pretty sweet. I also saw that EA is coming out with an NCAA Baseball game. South Carolina should be pretty good in that.
