wuhwhat...... That just happened!

If you fall asleep when your team is tied in a game at 1-1. Then wake up the next day, does it matter really if they won or lost? I mean they were tied when you were watching them? So what if in the 3rd period the other team scores a few more goals, and your team loses. I say since I fell asleep, the rest of the game really didn't happen...

But hey, it's now the 2nd half of the season, TJ Oshie will show the team how to go on a 2nd half run.... (It's Sioux Nature)
Also props to TJ Oshie (4 points in 4 games since coming back from injury), as he through a shot on net, and Dan Hinote banked his rebound attempt off a Calgary defensemen and in, giving Hinote his 1st goal in 37 games, dating back to last season! (Hey Dan you're a nice guy, had some good talks, but please score more, so the Blues can get something for ya at the trade deadline..) {Some think I'm mean, but it's the business, he just doesn't fit the Blues long-term agenda}





SIOUX/Gopher OT:
Last night, I finally got around to reading some of the message boards in regards to College Hockey's Biggest Rivalry. Since the 2 game beatdown was so baaaaddddd (6-3,6-1), clearly many many Gopher fans have hit their holes, and packed it in until maybe the end of the week if they can win against St. Cloud. BUT, some huge jersey chasers (I'm talking man on man stuff) are still talking trash on the Sioux Message boards, as well as others. Not surprising, but what is surprising is the reasoning Gopher fans are repeatedly typing why they LOST.....

Gopher fans claim, because their head coach (whom didn't even want to go to N.D. due to some unknown medical condition that has taken over his body since Dec. 27th, and they still don't know what it is. Oh ya, by the way the Gophers have played without their coach before, so has UND) back on topic, because the Gopher players were missing their ever so GREAT COACH, who hasn't brought a team to the Frozen Four in over 5 years; wasn't on the bench the Gopher team was "missing" soooo much they decided they'd let the Sioux steam roll them for 12 goals..

Am I the only one that laughs at rebuttal?? What ever happened to the ol' Win ONE FOR THE GIPPER? (or Gopher) Shouldn't players want to play even harder when a player/coach is going through something personal??? Evidently the Gopher fans think when your face is rubbed in the dirt, you go home cry to your parents, and hope that they take care of whatever it is at home that's bothering them.. lol

Dick Vitale would be going CRAAYYYZZZYYY BABBBYY for North Dakota?:
Last night Jodie Meeks put up 54. Meeks broke Dan Issel's 39-year-old record of 53 points set at Mississippi. The Southeastern Conference's leading scorer was only the second player this season to surpass the 50-point mark, according to STATS. North Dakota State's Ben Woodside had 60 against Stephen F. Austin in a triple overtime loss on Dec. 12. Didn't hear about that one... Oh wait it's North Dakota State, see previous lezzy post.. (I apologize ESPN, and FSN)



Also turns out the Courier Journal agrees with me: "If Jodie Meeks were doing this at Duke or North Carolina, you'd have to cancel your cable subscription to keep him off the screen. You'd have to have Dick Vitale surgically removed from him." there's only 64 comments on that article, but it's only 9am...



The best part about it, is that now everyone at UK will be crying about how Psycho T, UNC, Duke, and KANSAS (don't think I didn't forget about the Defending Champs bromo, nice job beating up the boys from Manhattan, KS, would it have been a better game if Beasley was still there? ) are always in the spotlight on ESPN, well UK fans, welcome to what it feels like to be a fan of Hockey college or Pro... And in some sad and pathetic way, the NBA, as they can't seem to fill any of their buildings.. except for Boston, LA, and what? Cleveland, yep thank King James for that.



2010 NBA All-Star Game:
The 2010 NBA All-Star Game will be played at the new Cowboys stadium in Arlington, and the seating capacity will be at least 100,000. If the game sells out, it will have the largest attendance in basketball history. A crowd of 78,129 attended a game between Michigan State and Kentucky at Detroit’s Ford Field in 2003. The NBA attendance record is 62,046 for a Bulls-Hawks game at the Georgia Dome in 1998.

My take, it's the NBA All-Star game... 48,000 max.. wouldn't be surprised if it's around 38,000.. I could be way wrong though too..



Let's go back to the 2004 NFL Draft:
Storyline: Eli Manning is the consensus #1, only bad thing is Chargers have #1, Archie & Eli, don't like San Diego.. So:


Giants trade up from #4 to #1 getting Eli Manning.


In return


Chargers receive:
Rights to 2004 4th Overall Pick, Philip Rivers.
2005 1st Round Draft Pick - Used to draft and sign Linebacker Shawne Merriman.
2004 3rd Round Draft Pick - Used to draft and sign Kicker Nate Kaeding.
2005 5th Round Draft Pick - Traded to Tampa Bay Buccaneers for Left Tackle Roman Oben.

All that for little Eli.. Let's divulge into that draft year:
Philip Rivers went 4th, the next Qtrback went 11th to Pitts. in Big Ben, next was #22 from Buffalo Bills Selecting JP Losman.

Story of this draft: #24 pick to St Louis Rams, Stephen Jackson, currently is the highest paid from this draft.

Analysts say Eli's new contract to the Giants will put him at $120Million, for a few years, making him the highest paid player in the NFL, 2nd place goes to older brother Payton at $98.9Million..
Hey Archie how many women ask how much it would cost them for you to pregnate them?? Just askin.. I may know a few ladies..
