The Week That Is
Well, I'll make this brief, as the next eight days are pretty hectic for me. In addition to the four basketball games - two road, two home, one on TV (CSTV, Tuesday night if you're not near the Al McGuire Center...if you are near the Al, come on by to witness history.)
Oh yeah, and toss in the LSAT on Saturday morning, and you have a fantabulous, terrific week...with no time left for me to enjoy a few celebratory cocktails.
Well, maybe one or two on Saturday.
I can honestly say that the LSAT prep has not gone according to plan. In some senses, it hasn't really gone. But what the heck, right? There are some dumb shampoos out there who are lawyers. And it's just a test. I'll wing it. I'll be fine. I got smarts. To quote my man Big G, "I'm dumb smart."
Great attitude, right? Having that plan my whole life might be why I'm the habitual underachiever...and exhibit A as to why I'm doing what I'm doing and not something better.
But, then again, I watch basketball for a living and get my school paid for. Pretty good racket I suppose.
Until later, be sure to tune into the hoops. And if you're a hoops junkie like me, don't miss this great newish site
Midmajority.com. I might be a Big East guy at a Big East school, but my heart is always with the MAAC and the mid-majors. In a perfect world, the Big East gets 10 and the MAAC gets two out of 65.
So on Sunday, if you're within driving distance, hit the Hynes Center for Vermont/Iona. Vermont has been the national media darling for the last three years. Last year, they got one of the biggest scalps of all-time. But, like everything cyclical, the Catamounts are "rebuilding." In some senses, they're also "re-inventing." But they still have guys on that team that know what 25+ win seasons are like...they're a tough out. And the Gaels? Well, they might contend for the 05-06 part of UVM - get into the tourney, make some noise, and have a side-splitting post-game press conference. Also having seen Winthrop, they're pretty dog-goned shampooing good, too.
Big kudos to Hofstra tonight, as well. Nice to have the top three towns in NYC hoops be New Rochelle, Hempstead, and Brooklyn Heights... Hope the big-timer can keep the PR shop afloat.
Ok, I gotta go do venn diagrams. What the hell this has to do with the price of tea in China, I know not.
Until then, I am now.
One.
