WELL A GOOD AND BAD WEEKEND FOR FAIRBANKS SPORTS FANS ...
THE GRIZZLIES SHOWED UP TO PLAY SATURDAY AND EVERY FAN THERE KNEW IT. IT WAS MY FIRST EXPERIENCE AT THE CARLSON CENTER FOR ARENA FOOTBALL....I LOVED IT!!!! TONS OF ACTION, LOTS OF STUFF TO DO AND SEE, AND THE TEAM LOOKED SOLID. EVEN DARRYL LEWIS SHOWED UP ... THAT CRAZY FELLA .. HE MIGHT LIKE THAT MORE THAN BASKETBALL ... I THINK I EVEN SAW HIM GETTING HIS GROOVE ON ... ON THE SIDELINE ..QUITE A SIGHT. SO I SAY GO GRIZ AND CAN'T WAIT TO SEE YOU BACK HOME ... GET IT DONE IN TEXAS!!!!
I JINXED IT SATURDAY NIGHT AND THE ICE DOGS LOST. THEIR FIRST LOSS IN A WHILE AND THEIR FIRST AGAINST KENAI RIVER THIS YEAR. IT WAS GREAT TO SEE A GOOD SHOWING AT THE BIG DIPPER ... KEEP IT UP DOG POUND.
SO TO THE NATIONAL WORLD I GO .......
GOTTA GIVE A LITTLE HELLO ...BECAUSE I DON'T LIKE SHOUT OUTS.... TO MY PAL EDDIE GILL. GILL GRADUATED FROM WEBER STATE IN OGDEN UTAH BACK IN THE LATE 90'S. I GRADUATED FROM THERE IN '05 AND GOT TO SEE HIM AND HAROLD ARCENEAUX PLAY AND BEAT UNC IN THE FIRST ROUND OF THE NCAA TOURNEY IN 98. GILL JUST SIGNED A LITTLE 10-DAY CONTRACT WITH THE SUPERSONICS ... WILL BE NICE TO SEE HIM ON TV AGAIN.
OPENING DAY OF MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL TOMORROW (TUESDAY) CAN'T WAIT ... I LOVE BASEBALL. PERSONALLY A HUGE PHILLIES FAN AND SOME SAYING THIS COULD BE THEIR YEAR BUT I NEVER GET EXCITED BECAUSE THIS COULD BE THE YEAR FOR ANYONE. SPEAKING OF BASEBALL ... STERIODS, HGH, BONDS...DO I REALLY NEED TO GO THERE . ALL I REALLY HAVE TO SAY IS I AM SO SICK OF HEARING ABOUT IT AND WHY ARE WE SPENDING AMERICAN TAX DOLLARS HOLDING CONGRESSIONAL MEETINGS WITH ROGER CLEMENS ... WHEN THE ECONOMY IS AT AN ALL TIME LOW AND WE HAVE A WAR GOING ON.... AS A MILITARY SPOUSE COULD WE MAYBE FIGURE OUT A WAY TO RESOLVE THAT BEFORE WE GET ALL TICKED OFF THAT CLEMENS DID TAKE STEROIDS? AND FURTHER MORE ... MY PERSONAL OPINION, HE OR ANYONE (ESPECIALLY BONDS) SHOULD NOT BE ENTERED IN THE HALL OF FAME IF PETE ROSE IS NOT ENTERED. THE THINGS THAT MAN DID, DID NOT AFFECT THE OUTCOME OF HIS GAMES OR THE WAY HE PLAYED.... OK I THNK I'VE SAID MY PEACE ABOUT THAT ONE...AT LEAST FOR NOW!
BUT GOING BACK TO OPENING DAY ... MY ONLY OTHER GRIPE (AT LEAST AT THE MOMENT) WHY ARE WE TAKING AMERICAS FAVORITE PAST TIME AND SENDING IT TO JAPAN FOR OPENING DAY? AM I WRONG ... BUT THAT DOESN'T SEEM VERY AMERICAN TO ME. BILLIONS OF BASEBALL FANS WOULD PAY TOP DOLLAR TO SEE THE RED SOX AND THE A'S DUKE IT OUT HERE IN THE LAND OF THE FREE ... SO MR. SELIG IF YOU HAPPEN TO READ THIS ... BRING BASEBALL HOME!!
