the atmosphere at UD Arena last night was electric. the game, was not. two great defensive teams basically trading body shots all night long. the sorry ass officials didn't help matters. 3 guys calling 3 different games. i put most of the blame on the A10 conference. why assign shitty officials to what is basically your regular season championship game? the whole game felt like it was going to come down to the last possession. when Scoochie Smith tied the game at 55, i thought he left a little too much time on the clock. thankfully, VCU missed 2 shots before the buzzer and it was off to overtime.
thank god March is becoming the time of year where Scoochie puts on his cape. big shot after big shot in OT. sadly, VCU was hitting shots as well. neither team could hit free throws worth a shit in the game or overtime, so after VCU went 1 for 2 at the line, Dayton had the ball trailing by one with time running down. everyone in the building thought Scoochie would take the shot. insert Kyle Davis. he's probably my favorite player on this team because he plays defense and is not afraid to take a big fucking shot when he needs to. Kyle drove to the bucket and made an incredible layup (where was the fucking foul call) to give Dayton the lead. VCU got a timeout with 1.1 seconds left. i was fearing a backdoor play but they instead ran a double screen that got their best shooter a wide open three. thank god he airballed it and the celebration began. Dayton hasn't won a piece of a regular season title in well over a decade. way too fucking long. what i really loved was Archie Miller (i'm not sure how much longer he'll be the coach at Dayton, he's too good for us) had the boys cut down the net. that was a wonderful sight to see. now it's onto Brooklyn and hopefully winning the conference tournament as the #1 seed and getting the automatic bid into the big dance.
it was pretty late when we got to Waffle House. there was only two people when we got there. abut 20 minutes later, the place was packed. mom said i must be popular. i laughed, knowing that's not possible. it's the joy of living in a town where everything is closed by midnight.
after Waffle House, it was time to go home and enjoy a lovely victory beer. i did that while watching Saturday Night Live and ROH.
Saturday Night Live had a few moments but the show for the most part was forgettable.
ROH was pretty good, as usual. anytime i get to see Dalton Castle wrestle, i'm going to enjoy it.
enjoy some music kids:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Shameless, Billions, Vinyl, Girls, Togetherness and Last Week Tonight.
i got up today in a great mood. about 26 minutes into the Manchester United game, that all changed. i'm not exactly sure what the fuck Juan Mata was thinking. he already had one yellow card from a stupid play. 2 minutes later he does a completely reckless challenge that rightfully earned his second yellow. United played better actually once he was off the pitch. but, they eventually cracked in the second half and gave up a goal. today is one of those wasted fucking opportunities that normally keep you from reaching your goal. i guess we'll know in a few weeks if that is the case.
the New York Rangers play the fucking Islanders later today. hopefully they get a win. that would help change my mood.
that's pretty much all for me today kids. i hope everyone had a great Saturday. hopefully your Sunday is even better.
be well. be creative. be cool. be quick to send me CASH, panties, hate mail, love letters, broken promises and dirty pennies from heaven.
peace and chicken grease...
