WNBA-SEATTLE STORM-CONGRATS!!!!

Basketball at it’s purest….I’ve come to think of the caliber of womans baskteball as that.  Passing, teamwork, and excitement to the max and it a womans product.  No comparison to the mens game of jive and above the rim.  Naismith would be proud.  Bottom line to this early morning ramble is the Seattle Storm; Cash, Jackson, Bird and company did it!!!  WNBA 2010 CHAMPIONS!!!!!!

REGGIE BUSH WILL GIVE BACK THE HEISMAN TROPHY=I DON’T THINK SO

USC has not had a clean football program in this or the past century; please, who has SC had to answer to?  75% of the graduates still remain in the Los Angeles area and 35-45% of those are boosters.  Take that into consideration and you have more folks on the sidelines at SC games than you have participants.  Phantom Summer jobs, come on, new homes for parents, rent paid for in homes that only the extremely wealthy could afford, new cars.  Need I say more?  Reggie Bush learned early as many have, being bought is fine as long as you keep your mouth shut.  Reggie is not the last nor is SC the only University to be somewhat embarrassed  nor will it be the last.  I would like the NCAA rules committee to check out things at Notre Dame and see what is under the robes of those brothers.

GENDER TEST: ARE YOU MAN OR A WOMAN?

Remember the athlete who won the world 800-meter last month?  She is so androginous looking, there was a question of her gender.  IAAF (International Amatuer Athletic Federation) has received the  test results of her gender testing, but are not publicly publishing them.  Word out is that the medical report on the 18-year old (female athlete) indicate she has no ovaries, but rather has internal male testes, which are producing large amounts of testosterone.  Bottom line is she both, what do you do with the Olympics and all such athletes?  Do we have Special Olympics for those of yin and yang gender?

She is a handsome looking woman and she is not taking male hormones, she is producing them on her own and she has a true unadulterated vag,

BOYS VOLLEYBALL–LOS ANGELES–FAIRFAX HIGH BEATS THE PALISADES!!!!

Winners!

Remember what I said about Fairfax High School boys volleyball team. ” I will write more about the team when they beat Palisades” well they did, three straight games.  I don’t how to inform the uniformed but this is just Coach Browns fourth year of coaching an almost afterthought as to having a boys volleyball team.  5 and 0 to start the season and the stands are full and raucous.  Unknown and underdogs no more, stay strong and focused!!!

Go Lions, beat University and I will congragulate you again.

TITLE lX–WOMENS NCAA ATHLETICS!!!!

I just watched the best women’s, college basketball game that Maryland and Duke had to offer.  James Naismith would have been proud.  Oklahoma and Texas women are playing now, have to watch this one and report to you all a little later.

Athletic, smart, beautiful, physically gifted athletes, what a visual pleasure.

Oklahoma completely dominated Texas, no competition in that one.  My predictions for the NCAA tournament.  I have not yet ruled out Connecticut winning the title, but teams that could be right there in the fight are, (in my opinion) Auburn, Oklahoma, Stanford, Duke and Maryland look really good.

No matter, who shows up at the dance it is going to be a good one and I am so proud of the woman athletes, let the games continue.  Watching Purdue and Ohio State, I don’t know if I can take all this great action!!!

March 15th…I don’t know if any team can beat Connecticut, but it should be a great game whomever they play.  Baylor vs Texas A&M for the Big 12 title and later Stanford to play a long shot USC.  So exciting and well schooled fundamentals, it is good day.  Off to the dog park for some interaction and goofiness.  Have the best day you can, I will.

DON’T PHUQUE WITH TITLE “9″

The boys are crying, “too much money is spent on woman’s sports and we don’t think it is fair.”  Men, the original cry babies, woman’s athletics are happening, basketball (winner) volleyball (winner) track & field (winner) swimming (winner) gymnastics (winner);  (I know I have missed some) what beautiful, strong, intelligent woman and to think with scholarships 85% of the woman graduate and use their degrees wisely.  Now, I know basketball and football are the money makers for the university but hey, how about respect and knowledge don’t they fit in at the university level?  Congress, don’t mess with “TITLE 9″, it gives the action of sports a prettier picture then some of the men and their activities off the playing field.  WNBA is a direct connection to the fabulous athletes that have been able to play basketball while going to college.  Essence Carson, Candace Parker, Elana Larkin are the yongsters that have made it a “have to see game” and so on that energy, watch some of these games and see some exciting, technical, and physical basketball skills.  Off to play plumber, adios and make sure you vote and be kind to a stranger today.

WOMENS VOLLEYBALL UNLV–ALMOST

Young and willing but not quite there to beat pre season ranked #10 Wisconsin.  Rebels took Wisconsin to five games before and 18-16 win by the Badgers, oh so close.  Women’s Volleyball in Las Vegas Nevada, families and great athletic action.  I am pleased to be a season ticket holder-think about big, strong, athletic women, having brains and a little brawn that makes the gender proud.  Go Lady Rebs, we know you will be at your best when conference season starts.  Thank you for a fine match this evening.  Tomorrow is another day and we will be there!!!

OLYMPICS-SPITZ-BOTOX–WHAT DO THEY HAVE IN COMMON?

“Greatest Swimmer Ever.”  Mark Spitz, that is his title and Michael Phelps will try to bring that title to himself.  Mark Spitz is still making the $’s after many years away from his Olympic glory.  The Spitz Man has released a new biography, titled “Mark Spitz:  The Extraordinary Life of an Olympic Athlete.”  He is also making the appearances on behalf of “Your Personal Best.”  If that sounds like a phrase to inspire your athletes, or to encourage people to rise to a challenge, you are wrong.

In reality, “Your Personal Best” is a campaign promoting the use of Botox to paralyze muscles to negate wrinkles.”   [Ann Killion, San Jose Mercury News]

If it makes you shudder that an American icon can be reduced to such inanity, oh well.  That’s the Olympic endgame–cashing in on ones accomplishments.  The American way, no big thing an observation.  Do you know of many professional swimmers?  Ester Williams she was in the romantic swimming movies in the 40′s as was Winter Olympic Ice Skater, Sonja Heine in her sport of figure skating.  Oh well, off to run the dogs and have glorious day, I hope all of you have the day that brings smiles to many.

WORLD SERIES: ANGELS VS CUBS!!!! (NOT)

I had the vision, and it was the Angels & Cubbies in the World Series–what a series it would be.  Power, quickness, great gloves and just fun to watch; okay now it is up to them to make my cosmic vision be truthful.  It is not like I have seen Jesus on my garage wall after a rain (it doesn’t rain much in the Vegas Valley) or Mother Theressa on a cinnamon roll in a Nashville bakery…My cosmic vision of a fine baseball series with two exceptional teams and excellent managers….Go Cubs and Angels make my vision be truthful.

UPDATE:  The Cubs choked, a really good Dodger team has left the Cubs in the dust; Angels are behind two zip to Boston, oh well, my vision was just that, mine.  Next year is the famous refrain I shall have to use.  Today is a beautiful day no matter and life at “Last Chance Ranch” got better also.  10 month old German Short-hair Pointer called Hendrick has found a permanent home.  I nick named him WHEELER; he has a slight impairment, his rear legs are paralyzed but he has his own set of wheels to get about and he has found his final home and is just scooting around the property with his ten month old energy.  I am sure he is going to need off road wheels as soon as he is allowed to roam.  Pictures will appear shortly.  Life is good and it will always get better if you chose to make it better.

Oh well, rip that ticket up, how about the Dodgers and Tampa Bay for a new world series adventure?  I will be cheering the Dodgers.  (Please let them make it)

UNLV VOLLEYBALL

UNLV Volleyball has come of age; winning is not what other teams do, it is an attitude that UNLV has discovered and will keep.  Last season was so successful for the team and the fans, I wish I had the $’s to support them besides being a season ticket holder.  What am I trying to say?  The Volleyball team is planning a competition tour of Europe in May of 2009.  That gives us enough time to raise the required $’s to get the ladies and coaching staff on their way to Europe.  $40,000 is what is needed to make it happen; if any of you out there know what it is like to be an athlete, ready to compete on the world stage and is just a tad short of the financial requirement to get there–put a few bucks in and you will be proud you did.   The checks can be made out to the UNLV Foundation/RAF and mailed to UNLV RAF, 4505 Maryland Parkway Box 450030, Las Vegas NV  89154.  Please make sure you earmark the check, VOLLEYBALL EUROPE.

UPDATE:  2008 is a young team; win some lose some but they are fun to watch and they will only get better.  The energy is good and the attitude is positive; Go Rebels, we are watching and enjoying the effort.

Vegas is more then T&A, UFC and gambling, it is a town of working class people who want the best for their children, help us out and the next time you are in Vegas please stop by the COX Pavilion, attached to the Thomas & Mack Center and watch and enjoy the best wholesome entertainment in our town. (Volleyball is a Fall season sport)  Thanks in advance for those who want to contribute to a good cause.  GO REBELS!!!!

Wish I had Mr. Wynn’s email address or come to think about it the the Maloof Men, if you know them, ask them to kick in a little and we would do them good.  (through word)
