Sorry for the break but after that packers loss to the Lions i was so heart broken i had to step back and take a break. i know everyone has probably missed me and didnt know what to do with out me and my awesome view on the world of sports lol jkjk. but anyways just wanted to touch on some college basketball. Tonight there was an awesome game between Illinois and Mizzu and if you read my blog you know how much i like Illinois this year, and it looked like tonight they were the better team and it seemed that they would pull the up set up pretty big in the first half, the second half i think Mizzu's pressure got to them, this was Illinois game to win but i am not taking anything away from the defense of Mizzu it was outstanding you could tell it was bothering Illinois in the second half they couldnt get the ball up court which in turn gave them a short shot clock and i think forced them to take poor shots, i know the final score would have you think this game wasnt close but Mizzu got that 10 point lead literally with like 20 seconds left. well what happend was, Mizzu was up by 4 with like 49 seconds left they inbound but Illinois steals it and drains a 3 but then Mizzu inbounds the ball so fast they have a man wide open at their end of the court and they hurl it down there and the guy goes for the lay up and Illinois center i believe it was fouled him and they called it an intentional foul which gave Mizzu 2 free throws and the ball back which was 6 points right there then Illinois missed the shot at their end of the court and then Mizzu hit its freethrows to end the game. I am still really impressed with Illinois but i really really like Mizzu i havent got a chance to see them play this year but that defense is outstanding they play the zone super good and kill the pick and roll which also really had Illinois baffled. While im on the subject of college hoops i would like to give props to the Lobos who have won 8 straight!
I know i have been gone awhile and alot has happened, man o man was i so excited watching the packers game this past weekend when Matt Flynn was playing for A-Rog i was sure they were gunna pull the upset but of course since they were my upset pick, they won the first 3 and 1/2 quarters and then loss the game in the last like 10 to 5 minutes, i swear if this keeps happening to me with my picks for the rest of the year and into other sports i will be super disapointed as i know you will be also. i will come back tomorrow to do my picks for the week since tomorrow is the first game of the week ill get on in the morning and let everyone know my picks.
Since i am a huge baseball guy and since the winter meetings are over and pretty much all ther free agents are signed i would like to say i am upset that Cliff didnt pick the Rangers BUT i am super excited as a baseball fan to watch that Philly rotation this ocming season, i mean seriously, lol i jokingly posted on my facebook that with their new rotation they are going to have the new single season win record with 142 wins lol but obivously thats not going to happen but i wont be surprised if they do break the record just not by that much i know this seems alot like the "big 3" but remember Cliff has played with most of these guys before and while you do need chemistry on a baseball team its more with the feilders then the pitcher, I loved the ESPN article about this rotation being one of the best in history, and since i am not super old i cant really remember any of the rotation they said except the Braves in the 90's and i was wondering why they never mention the A's rotation of the 90's when Zito, Hudson, and Mulder were all on the A's i would argue that to be a really good rotation. I know the Giants have a great startin rotation this year too i just dont like mentioning them cause they beat my Rangers but hey they destroyed the best pitching in baseball to do it, first the Phillies then Cliff and my Rangers...(even though the Rangers bats suddenly went cold while the Giants bats got red hot) i guess to say the least i am SUPER excited about this coming season cant wait till spring training will probably catch a few games, try and maybe if im lucky talk to some players or coaches or member of the media and try and get some REAL inside sports reporting going on.
I am also gunna start following local sports much closer and try and reach local high school/college maybe even semi pro atheletes here in the ABQ, well hope your glad im back and hope you come back and start reading again.
