Blue Team thoughts

Quick ones on the alma mater's game tonight:
  • Psycho T would run through a wall if he thought he could score on the other side. I have never seen a player just maul opponents to score like that. However, he REALLY has to work on passing out of the double team/recognize it before it gets there. Also, he travels sometimes which may get called in conference play.
  • Q played his best game. As did By-ron. Q had some nice dimes and played great D, I thought he managed the game pretty well. Colonel Sanders on the other hand almost made me lose my supper driving to the basket and picking up two offensive fouls. Then, he proceeded to play a solid game, finishing with six points I believe, probly five boards and a block. Nice game from the senior.
  • DG was erratic, brilliant at times and ugh at times. MG played well, especially on D. I love the fact that everyone plays so hard on D and the crowd appreciates it. Clearly, Coach loves it.
  • Game ball to RT for some spectacular D (three highlight-reel blocks) and a good offensive contribution. Please dude, be steady throughout conference play, it is necessary to be successful.
In other news, great game between West VA and UGA and the Notre Dame vs Ohio St game was ok too. However, the WVA/UGA game lasted almost 4 hours 20 minutes. Holy poo. I mean, come on, I gotta sleep. It does not help that halftime in all the BCS games is almost 30 minutes long by itself.

Did anyone catch the Wake Forest/East Carolina b-ball game tonight? Reference my earlier rant a few weeks back about how terrible Wake Forest b-ball fans are. Once again, no noise, no enthusiasm, and no people in attendance. Justin Gray also needs to show up for his team to play in the tournament that matters in March.

Finally, great announcing of games in recent days. Brad Nessler and Bob Griese were top-notch at the Sugar Bowl and the team of Mussberger and Danielson at the Fiesta Bowl had one of their best. I usually don't care for ole Brent Mussberger, but he did a quality job. Finally, Tirico and Kirk Herbstreit are doing fine tonight. I like good games, but they are better with good broadcasting.

Need I repeat, Southern Cal will win and cover the spread. It will be a beautiful disaster. I'm out.
