Thursday night, no games for me to coach or go to, so I was staying at home, close to the TV having some daddy pops, and what do I see;
-ND beats Louisville by 33, yeah 33. Wow, ND nice way to break your 7 game loosing streak, beaten the 7th ranked team in the nation by over 30. To be fair 6 of those 7 games were to ranked teams, so that may save them a little, but they still need to get some more wins, and I think, get some help. Meaning all the one bid conferences need their favorites to win, i.e Utah state, Davidson, ect, and all the big conferences can't have a team that wouldn't have made it win, unless of course ND wins the big east tourny, then they are in anyway, but they can't have Arkansas win the sec, Virginia win the ACC, Iowa win the big ten, for example. They are still a good team, and tough to beat at home, especially when shooting well, but if they do get in, and I do mean IF, I don't see them getting out of the first weekend.
-ILL-Northwestern- I will be honest, I only watched about 2 minutes of this game, good thing it was the last two. How crazy. Ill wins by one, and their first, and only lead of the game is with 2.5 seconds left. When I turned it on Northwestern was up 59-50, with under 2 minutes to play. Ill made some big shots and then they were helped by a jump ball, they had the arrow, a travel on another trap, and the fact that this "road" game play at Northwestern had just as many, if not more, fans cheering for them then it did the Wildcats. I don't know if I have seen that before. Northwestern is even a decent basketball team,they have some nice wins this year, at MSU comes to mind, and they have one very good player, and for them to have that much of a disadvantage in a home game is terrible. I would be very upset if I was a Northwestern player, coach, or student who was at the game. They need to get more people there, they just gave away a "neutral" court game that was played on their campus.
-UCLA-ASU- ASU sweeps UCLA in the season series thanks to a few things. One they have two great players, two, they hit some timely shots, three a very questionable call on Collinson that I thought should have tied the game and sent him to the line for one, and instead was called a block, then the technical was the right call, for hitting the ball before it was inbounded, that was a very big call, and then ASU made their free throws. If I was a UCLA fan, which I am not, I would be very upset about that charge call, that to me, it looked like he slide under while Collinson was in the air. If I was a ASU fan, which again, I am not, I would be very happy for a great win, and tell UCLA fans to shut oup, you had your chances and the better team that night won. ASU 1-2-2 macthup zone gave UCLA some problems, and this opens up the PAC 10 a little more. Since now UCLA has 3 losses to join Washington and ASU.
-Gonzaga one a very close game, 72-70 vs St Mary's without Pat Mills, on the road. Any road conference game is a big win, but it brings up the question again, is Mills going to come back in time to save their season? Are they going to have to win the WCC conference tourny to get in. Or if they get to at least the finals, with Mills back, and then losses to Gonzaga again, will the committee not punish them for what they did without their best player. Bottom line, they need to be careful to not lose too many more games, they need to find a way. The Nation needs Pat Mills in the big dance, he is that good, and he needs to be there.
-NBA Trade- what? I saw this and I have some questions and some thoughts. The Heat trade Marion and Marcus Banks to the Raptors for J O Neal and J Moon. Now, Marion's contract is over at the end of this year.. he will not be staying north of the border, and J.O.N. contract is up after the 09-10 season. I know the Heat were looking for someone to take Banks and his contract off their hands, but to give up Marion for J.O.N. doesn't really make much sense to me. I don't know if this is a good trade for either team, time will tell. For the Raptors now you have a more athletic wing player to play the 3 to go with bosh, and for the Heat, you get a guy who CAN be a low post threat to go with d wade, charmers and Beasley. But J.O.N. is not the same guy he was a few years ago, so I really have to question what they are getting, and if it will make them any better. Time will tell, but my first thoughts were...ummm, that is odd to me.
-I am sure we are not done with NBA trades before the deadline, at least I hope we are not. All Star weekend is here in the NBA and I am looking forward to it. The NBA all star game is by far my favorite of the 4 major sports all star games. You couldn't pay me to watch the pro bowl, I didn't know the NHL game happened, and baseball is ok, but it still doesn't really matter to me, I don't get excited for it. the NBA game is basically just a no defense version of the game, so more scoring, which everyone loves. It should be a great game, and a entertaining weekend.
That is all I have for now. I'm right, you're wrong.

getting caught up
So there are some things I want to touch on quickly here while I have a minute.
- I was lucky enough to go to the Michigan-Michigan State game, it really helps when a kid you coach is being recruited hard by both teams, and it was a great time. I got the closest I will ever get to Erin Andrews, which by it's self would have been enough, but we also got to go in the Michigan locker room after the game and talk to the coaches. That was sweet, they were all very nice, and down to earth, we ended up staying there talking to them for about 30 minutes or so. Our seats were great, front row behind the basket on the Michigan side, it was a great game. Michigan just didn't make their 3's, and they need to to have a chance because MSU is the better team. Both teams played hard and great defense, as their defensive rotation and close outs were very good. Sims played the way he always should, but Manny had a very bad game. For MSU Roe is getting stronger and stronger, who knows if his knee will every get back to what it was his JR year of high school, but even if it doesn't, he is still a great player, and will only get better. Great night, and a nice win for MSU, who still has not lost a road game this year.
-Duke-UNC- This game I really don't care who wins as long as it is close, so I am kind of sad that UNC pulled away a bit. But with the way them, and Uconn are playing right now, the only question is who will be the other two teams to join them for the final four in the D. Lawson played great last night, showing why he is one of the best, if not the best, I think he is, pg in the nation. There are a lot of other great pg, but I will take him. The only guy I would think about is Pat Mills when he is at 100%
-This just in, stop me if you have heard it before, Brett Farve announced his retirement. I really hope he just goes away at this point, but I don't think that will happen. Instead, by July, he will be feeling better, and thinking, maybe I can do it one more year. I hope it doesn't happen, but just wait, there will be at least one Farve thinking about coming back story come June or July... just don't say I didn't warn you.
-Tonight is the first night this week I will actually be home all night and spending some time with my wife and daughter since last Thursday.. here as been my week since, not that anyone cares:
Friday- high school game (coaching)
Saturday-college game (cmu)
Sunday-high school practice then went out for two friends birthdays
Monday-high school game (coaching)
Tuesday-college game (msu-uofm)
Wednesday-high school game (watching 3 players I coached on AAU play 2 other guys I coached on AAU.. and 3 other guys who were on other teams in our program)
tomorrow-high school game (coaching)
-Did you hear Arod took drugs
- I am waiting to hear the new phelps remix to "but I got high"
I was going to go to the Olympics, but I got high
I was going to win 8 more golds, but I got high
and now I'm loosing my endorsements and I know why
cause I got high, cause I got high, cause I got high
It should be on Utube soon, if someone hasn't already done it. Cause I just came up with that not even thinking about it, so you know someone somewhere has done it, or will be doing it soon.
-Wake lost again last night, again I will say, this will happen, they are young, they are going to lose some games that they shouldn't.
I think that's all I want to talk about now, if I remember anything else I will add it later. I'm right, you're wrong

what a week
wvu-pitt, fl-ken, michigan-msu, duke-unc, and many many more. This should be a great week of college basketball, and I am looking forward to it. Much more on all of those games later in the week, but for now:
AROD- Did the smart thing by stepping up and saying he is sorry, which of course he isn't sorry he did it, he is sorry his name got out. But he was one guy of 104 from that test, I think either all names have to come out, or none of them. Bottom line, all guys who played from 99-2006 should have their own requirements for making the hall of fame.. just have a drug wing of the hall of fame. Because you still have to hit the ball, and field, or throw.. If just one guy did it, yeah, throw him out for good, but if there was 104 names from that 03 test, who knows how many players actually were doing it during that maybe 7 to ten year span... Just make a separate level for what those players need to do..... btw, I am so tired of hearing about this in baseball... I hope this is my last post about it. I'm right, you're wrong.

I forget to add
Some quick things I forgot
-Congratulations to Indiana getting that much needed first big ten win. At home vs Iowa, for my money it will be their only win, but way to go. They have a great coach, he's a mt pleasant and cmu guy, and he will turn it around
-All this Lebron 52 and triple double vs kobe's 61 is really getting on my nerves. A few things I want to say about them:
A) It's against the Knicks
B) They are both great, why can't we just enjoy them both
C) Look at both games, Kobe's was more impressive because they were all trying to stop him, the Cavs game, was up and down and a free for all with zero defense, Al Harrington had 39 points and 13 rebounds, that is all you need to know about that game. I mean he is a good player, but not that good
D) Did I mention it was against the Knicks... they play no defense, who cares.
-Now that it has gone final congratulations to Pat Summit for her 1,000 win as a college coach. Say what ever you want about women's sports, but Coach Summit is one of the best college coaches in any sport, period. 1,000 games, that is sick. Well done coach.
I just forget to add those things to my first Thursday post, now I am going to go back to watching ILL-Wis, and the rest of Celtics-Lakers. I'm right, you're wrong

Thursday thoughts
Just a few things that are on my mind right now
-I owe Clemson a big apology, I'm sorry, I really over looked you guys, and you are much much better then I thought. I know it is just one game, and it is at home, but I don't care, if you beat Duke by 27 then you are doing something right. They will not fall off and not make the tournament like last year, they are in, and you know what, they are a good team. Duke also, will be fine
-My Spartans are so much fun. They showed last night the same reason why it is hard to be their fan sometimes, and also why it is great. the game after losing to PSU at home, they come out and beat a ranked Min team by 29. There two big ten losses are bad, both at home, against Northwestern and PSU, who both have a great player, and scorer who went off in the game, but they still sit atop the big ten right now,and I see them as the favorites still. With Purdue's loss to OSU they no longer have two losses, so now it's MSU, and everyone else. I believe 3 teams, Purdue, PSU and ILL with two losses, and then a few more with 4. Wisconsin is not going to make the big dance, but now PSU and Northwestern with a few more wins can actually get in. Michigan and OSU also need to keep wining, MSU, Purdue, and ILL are in IMO and Min will also be in before it's all said and done.
-National signing day yesterday went very well for me. My chippewas got a very strong class for us. It was a big class, with grey shirts and preferred walk ons I believe we are up to 34. That is great, Coach Jones and his staff are doing a great job. MSU also had a very strong class, and maybe their best ever top to bottom. LSU is ranked as the number one overall class, but you really can't tell about these things till two or three years down the line. It is just a fun day, and ratings just give us something to talk about.
-If anyone still watches the pro bowl, please tell me why
-da U took care of bisnas last night as well beating Wake by 27. Wake is very talented, and they are a good team, but they are also a young team, meaning these shorts of things will happen. They will have some great games, and then come out and have some bad games. They will still be a tough out come March, Teauge is the real deal
-Texas lost at home last night to Mizzu. This is a shocked to me, because I do not think Mizzu is that good at all, and the game was in Austin
-They should just give Blake Giffen the player of the year award now, and get it over with
-They should just give OJ Mayo the Rookie of the year award now, and get it over with. I know his team is bad, but he is a flat out stud, he is made for the NBA and can score on anyone.
-Pat Summit goes, again, for her 1,000 win tonight, I really have a feeling this will be the night. Good luck to her and her Lady Vals
-ND last again last night, that's 6 in a row now, to cinci this time, to be fair this is the first game of the 6 not against a team ranked higher then them, but still, these are the games you have to win in the big east. They basically now have one chance to dance, and that's to win the big east tourny, not that they can't do it, but it will be very hard, especially if they are the 11th or 12th seed. NIT here we come.
-My Pistons actually won a game last night, beat the Heat. 93-90. I am just happy when ever they win now. This season is basically a waste. We know they will still make the playoffs, and I, being a stupid fan, still think they have the talent that they can make a run at it, but either way, they were not going to win it all with Billups and this way they clear up a lot of cap space and are still at least a playoff team, instead of waiting too long and getting nothing and being a lottery team for a few years to turn it around. It's rebuilding while still being competitive.
-Big game for my High school that I coach at tomorrow, as we play the two time defending state champs Saginaw high Trojans. They may not have Draymound Green (msu) or Daniel west ( ten) anymore, but they are still loaded with talent. Basically we need to take care of the ball, make a lot of shots ( of course) and find a way to stop dribble penetration ( that's going to be the hard part) But you always like to play those big games against great teams, so it will give us a chance to see what we are made up. we lost at the buzzer on Tuesday, so lets see how we bounce back.

Tuesday Tales
A few things on my mind, that I will quickly mention.
-Pat Summit did not get her 1,000 win last night vs number 2 ranked Ok, who are very good, but she will, it's only a matter of time
-Butler lost a conference game for the first time in 23 games, I believe, they will still be fine, with all there young guys this was suppose to be a rebuilding year
-Pat Mills will be out till the end of the coference season, or start of conference tourny week, this is a big big loss, since he is one of the best,if not the best, pg in the nation. We will see if this slips them all the way down to having to win the WCC conference title to get in to the big dance.
-Kansas has had 3 big 12 road games in a row, all on ESPN.. the world may be coming to a end... this is a little joke between me and my old rm chaz, we would swear all Kansas home games were on epsn, to the point where we thought a production truck might just stay there, but never did they show conference road games... until now
-ND and G-town are both in trouble.. I tried to warm people about G-town.. no one listens
-Uconn had a great road win last night, they are deserving of that Number one ranking, and still the second most talented team behind UNC. I wonder how they will mess it up and not make the final four?
-In the NBA, Kobe had 61 last night against the Knicks for his 5th 60+ point game in his career, passing MJ and moving him second on the all time list. Second is where he will stay unless he manages another 27, as wilt has 32.
-Bynum is also hurt again and out 8-12 weeks. Lets just go ahead and say it.. we were all waiting for that to happen. The Lakers will be fine, but it does open the West up a little, I still like them to get to the finals and lose to either the celtics or cavs, as much as I hate to say it.
-National signing day is tomorrow.. I am very excited
-Baseball training camp starts in less then 2 weeks
-Pat Summit did not get her 1,000 win last night vs number 2 ranked Ok, who are very good, but she will, it's only a matter of time
-Butler lost a conference game for the first time in 23 games, I believe, they will still be fine, with all there young guys this was suppose to be a rebuilding year

quick thoughts
The super bowl was a good game, of what I saw of it. I honestly did not watch the entire thing, I really just caught some of the first half, and then the last 5 minuets. I really am bitter about the Giants not being there.. But now it is over and I can start to focus on the draft, and next year. I was close with the score, for the Steelers at least, I had 24-14, and they had 27. In a text I sent out before the game, I said it would be 27-17, so I had their score right in that text, cause that is what I thought I picked, but I guess I didn't think it would be high scoring, I am just glad it was a close good game, and like I said, now we can move on to the draft. But before I do that, we still have National Signing day on Wednesday. CMU has a nice class so far, so it looks like it should be a great day to be a Chippewa, as all days are. My high school team is up to 8-4, even though we didn't play well on Thursday and our best player, the best player in the state IMO, and many others, had a bad game, 21 and 9, bad for him, but a win is a win. We have two big games this week, both at home, so hopefully we will be ready to go.
In college basketball I love MSU, and they are doing well this year, but they have two big ten losses and they are to PSU and Northwestern, and both at home. ( they beat both of those teams on the road this year) Both of those teams are better, and they both have two great scorers but come on. You need to save some losses for at Wisconsin, even though they are struggling right now, or at Purdue, don't waste them at home vs PSU and Northwestern. Now of course they will be fine, they are a lock to get in to the big dance, and still have just as good a shot as anyone to win the conference.. it is either going to be them or Purdue. But you can't give games away like that. Also real quick, the fact that Manny Harris got ejected from the game yesterday is one of the worst calls I have ever seen in my life. I don't even think it was a foul, you teach players to do that, face the pressure, turn and face, be strong with the ball, he caught and turned, you get a elbow in the face, oh well, maybe they will think before sticking their nose in their.. that is just a good basketball play, if anything it is a defensive foul, for a block, not giving him room to turn.. but it should have been a no call, if anything just a foul. Michigan was outscored by 20 when he was thrown out, and lost by 18, I wonder if that had a factor on the game. I don't even like Michigan, but it is wrong for a refs call to have that much impact on the game. Someone said, and I agree, the reason why he was thrown out was because of the Novack elbow in the OSU game, and the refs wanted to stop any physical play. I agree with that, but what happens in the last game should not effect how you are calling this one. Bottom line, he caught the ball, and squared up, he did nothing wrong.. nothing
But I move on. I am really looking forward to the rest of the college basketball season. I think UConn is going to get a shot at number one, I want to say they play Louis tomorrow on Big Monday, that should be a fun game. I'm right, you're wrong.
In college basketball I love MSU, and they are doing well this year, but they have two big ten losses and they are to PSU and Northwestern, and both at home.
