Lately I’m thinking…

Husky spring football practice starts today

Lately I’m thinking…

The ncaa tournament, although I’m not sure if that’s a good thing. I was so stressed out during the Duke game that I could hear my heart pounding and there was still 14 minutes left in the game. At one point I honestly considered leaving my phone unlocked with 911 already dialed in, so that if i needed to go to the hospital I could just hit dial

This is really interesting…

Mikey, Aldrich really only played 2 years considering he played so few minutes his freshman year. When he dominated Hansbrough in the final four that was basically the first time he played in the tournament game, because I remember everyone saying “who in the heck is that tall white guy and where did he come from”. He’s a projected lotery pick so can’t blame him for leaving, although a week ago I thought it was probably a 50% chance. I won’t be rooting for Michigan State in their first matchup because I don’t like their fans remember? On a side note, i have a pretty good feeling about bobcat football this year

Currently watching…

I’m going to watch Last of the Mohicans tonight. Steph said I’ll be the last of the americans to watch that movie, but she’s never seen a single star wars movie so I guess the room she has to talk doesn’t have any vacancy

Joey I feel your pain on the work bracket, I had to email the whole company telling them it was mandatory just to get the 5 brackets that have been turned in so far. Let’s see that means if you put in 5 dollars you should win about..$6.25. Oh ya and so far one person has gave me the $5 and one person has given me a canadian 5 dollar bill.

This is really interesting…

There are 9,223,372,036,854,780,000 different ways to fill out a bracket – for those of you who aren’t “distance from earth to pluto space scientiests” that’s over 9 quintillion….so good luck! On a side note, isn’t it crazy Pluto isn’t a planet anymore? I mean it was for a while, and now it’s not, total mind blower. Somebody really messed up

Current Status…

A Why Not Wednesday Dipsy Doozy 10 as I’m heading to Spokane tonight for the first round games. This is the best weekend of the year. The only thing that could bring me down is I felt like I was getting a cold for the first time all year, but now I’m starting to think it’s allergies as I’m just sitting here sneezing trying to breathe, and other people have complained about them the last couple days. I’m going to try getting Clariten clear and see if that helps. Maybe I’m just allergic to fun weekends, and it’s starting to set in

Lately I’m thinking…

Lately I’m thinking…

I don’t have a lot for today

Currently watching…

This video of people just wrecking & falling down (my favorite kind of humor) from my Russian friend Nikita. You don’t need sound, although the first minute or two it’s pretty funny to hear people scream and yell, but after that it’s just this weird techno background music and nothing else. Oh ya and it’s 7 minutes long

Currently watching…

The Bird/Magic show on HBO, it’s really good. I really like when shows like that transcend sports, if that isn’t too cliche to say. I also watched half of the Reggie Miller 30 for 30 ESPN series, but i’m only half way through it. I was going to finish it before I mentioned it on here, but eh what can ya do. It’s good so far

Lately I’m thinking…

Filling out Brackets is stressful. The last couple years I’ve got down to my final four and then I’m like “wait, i don’t think these teams are going to make the final four”, but because of the bracket I can’t think of who else to put there. I’m also not sure if I should fill out every bracket the same for every pool, or change it a bit to improve your chances of at least one bracket being good. I just hate seeing an upset and then saying “I picked that! ..in a different bracket”, and then everyone you’re with is like “suuuure” or “who cares”. I think i’m going to try and have the same bracket in all pools for that reason. Oh and once you second guess your pick and flip it, you’re totally screwed, because now instead of possibly just incorrectly picking a game, you’re twice as mad at yourself if they lose for screwing yourself over. So you think about flipping it back, but now the “flip” argument applies both ways.
