Man, oh man, did the Runnin’ Rebels lay it on us yesterday. They had a reserve player, #2 by the name of Wallace who hit 7 of 10 three’s. You would figure that by the third or fourth three they would have put someone on him, huh? Reckon why that kid ain’t on the first team?… But it was a good game. The Pit,… what an atmosphere. You have not heard loud ’til you visit the pit. Wow. And they are loudest when they are coming down on the Ref for a bad call. I won’t say the ref was intimidated by it, but I will say that if I was the Ref I would have been.
No.17 Wisconsin whaps No. 4 Purdue, 73 to 64. Coach Bo Ryan is 130 – 10 at home in nine seasons. No. 3 son and No. 3 daughter in law are big time Badger fans. I think Purdue was 14 – 0 coming into that game. I believe I got a couple of happy kids this morning in Madison.
No. 2 Texas 103, Colorado 86…Are the Longhorn awesome, or what….
As a kid, when I wasn’t pulling for Bama, I was pulling for Mississippi State. I lived half-way between Tuscaloosa and Starksville, so it was easy for me to pull for both until they played each other, then, of course I was a Bama fan. But when state played anyone else I pulled for them. Did you see where Miss St beat No. 14 Mississippi, 80 – 75, in Oxford, by the way….Go Bulldogs.
Jan. 10, 2010, Albuquerque Journal, James Yodice reported this morning that Coach Smith from Cleveland High School had his Varsity, JV and Freshman team enroute to Santa Fe and he called ahead to a Subway shop and ordered for all 44 players. When the team arrived there was one young lady behind the counter and she was way behind. Coach Smith asked her if she could use some help and of course she agreed. Coach Smith got behind the counter, put on the rubber gloves and started making sandwiches….What a nice story and what a guy, huh?..Way to go coach…That may be the best lesson you have ever taught those boys…You’re great….
