I'll have my Orange courtside

I was lucky enough to score tickets to the Preseason-NIT tournament in Madison Square Garden on Friday night. There were two games on Friday night: Washington v. SYRACUSE in the consolation game and ohio st (boo) v. Texas A&M. Unfortunately the 'Cuse didn't make it happen against ohio st (boo) earlier in the week and so didn't get their chance at redemption for that First Round tourney exit a few years back. Our seats were incredible. Check out my pictures.

Not what I had in mind.

Ok, so the last post was supposed to bring snow to the Rocky Mountains. But I woke up Sunday morning to find this:



It snowed off and on during the day on Sunday and we probably got about 3 inches. However, since the ground hasn't froze yet it has all since melted.

Sorry Mag for taking your snow. But at least the snow superstitions work.

Thinking about snow

Some disconcerting news today out of the 'Boat as I was informed that Opening Day has been pushed back to November 30th. I've been thinking about snow ever since.

So this is a special post for my sister. According to the Internet (which is never wrong) here are some things you can do in the meantime to help bring on the snow:

-- Wear your pajamas inside out.
-- Flush ice cubes down your toilet.
-- Put a spoon under your pillow.
-- Run around the kitchen table five times (maybe run around your snowboard table instead).
-- Hang a wool sock over your bed.
-- Sleep with your window open 1 inch.
-- Run around your house several times, lay down on your back and count to 30.

It might also help if you could fashion some sort of device that could control the weather.

Snow snow snow snow snow snow snow snow snow snow snow snow!

Something funny for something sad

Robert Goulet - American theater, film, television, and film personality - recently passed away. Concerning Mr. Goulet, the New York Times noted - in an article about his passing - that "few articles failed to mention his blue bedroom eyes, and many female fans tossed him room keys during performances." That same thing happens to me all the time.

In rememberence of Mr. Goulet, please enjoy this great SNL skit featuring Will Ferrell.



Quick, staring contest. Me and you, now! You win, you always do. That's why I come up here. Nature, Goulet!
