Officiating in the Maui Invitational

November 25

This year the officiating in the Maui Invitational sucked. Arizona by far has been called for the most fouls with 84. That's 84 in 3 games. Most of those fouls were tick tack fouls called by Karl Hess. This guy is going to be the next Dave Libbey. All the Arizona fans remember Libbey. Karl gave Sean Miller a technical when he wasn't even doing anything. This guy needs to fired immediately. Please God.

College Gameday

Nov 18 2009

College gameday has just announced that they are coming to Arizona for the Oregon-Arizona game. This will be the first time I can remember that College Gameday has been here. They are going to set up the stage on the Mall with Old Main in the background. So the Cameras will be facing west. People should arrive at about 6 AM if they want to get into the Pit area. Security will be checking signs and doing personal searches. At 7 AM there is going to be a Gameday teaser on Sports Center. This will be great exposure for an Arizona team that is getting no love from the Bias Eastern Press. IE LEE Corso.

Derrick Williams, our SF/PF left the game with an apparent knee injury.

PAC 10 Refs suck

October 10 2009

So I was watching the Arizona at Washington game and Arizona had that game stole from them. They recovered a fumble in the end zone was moved to the 2 yd line... we got a fg out of that. The clock didn't stop multiple times when we got out of bounds and got a first down. Then there was the pass that went of Dean's shoe and went the other way for 6. I think these refs need to be fired immediately.

Two new NCAA Basketball Rule updates

October 2 2009

There are two new college basketball rules... The 1st is obvious the other is kind of controversial.

The 1st rule change would allow unlimited phone calls to prospects during the contact periods.

The 2nd rule change is if recruits have signed an LOI with a school they are stuck with that school while the coach can leave if he wants to.

Breaking news: Oregon RB LaGarrette Blount has been suspended for the rest of the season.
Oregon @ Boise State Wrap up

September 4 2009

The Oregon @ Boise State game was a lot lower scoring than people thought. I thought the score would be Oregon 35-28. The actual final score was Boise State 19-8. After the game LeGarrette Blount, Oregon rb, went over to the Boise State sideline and sucker punched a Boise State player when he was not looking. Then he is being restrained by his team and punches 1 of his teammates. Finally he gets into it with a fan and the cops. This guy should be dismissed from the team and put in jail. No excuses.

Brett Favre may be coming out of retirement to play for the Minnesota Vikings this season. Some Vikings players have said "I don't know if it's done, but I think he'll be in by the third preseason game." Another said "I'm telling you it's already done". I think that he should just stay retired.

Lute Olson Ceremony

August 8 2009

Today was the Lute Olson Ceremony at McKale. There were about 40 NBA players who attended including Mike Bibby, Luke Walton, Andre Iguodala. There were 6,500 people who attended the ceremony today. My favorite parts of the Ceremony were when they showed the commercials with Bill Frieder and Lute, when Pete Williams spoke and when Lute brought Mike Bibby up and embarrassed him.

I'm Back

August 7 2009

I have returned from my trip to Hawaii yesterday. We went to Kona for the first 6 days then Maui for 5 days. In Kona we went to Hapuna Beach, which is one of the top 5 beaches in the US. We also went to A Bay. We drove through a lava field to get to the state beaches which I didn't like. Then we went to The Place of Refuge where Hawaiians went to escape from getting killed. I thought Kona was okay but not what I thought Hawaii would be like. Then we went to Maui. We stayed at the Napili Sunset. We went to the beach which is right outside our hotel every day. This was where I started to go body surfing. We went to the Lahaina Civic Center and the gym inside only has about 1,000 people which is really surprising. I loved going to Maui.
