my back was killing me last night at the game. i couldn't get it loose for anything. so, imagine a miserable guy sitting next to a guy in his 50's acting like a jackass and saying whatever the fuck he wants because he believes the first amendment doesn't have any consequences. at one point during the game, i leaned over to my mother and said, this is how it's going to go this season. the first time he spills a beer on me, i'll let him know that's the one time he gets. the next will get him killed. she laughed. he apologized to all of us later in the second half, saying he just gets so passionate about basketball. Trump's America, now every jackass feels welcome in public. great.
as for the game, when Dayton held Ball State scoreless for the first 6:15 of the game, i was mildly surprised. Dayton of course took their foot off the gas, and most of that 14-0 advantage was gone by halftime. the second half was a game of runs. when it got down to the nitty gritty, Dayton was down by 1 with 1.9 seconds to play. Anthony Grant had them run a play that i have seen used my most elementary school teams in the past. lob it up to the big guy and let him shoot. holy shit, it worked. Josh Cunningham scored the winning shot at the buzzer and Dayton defeated Ball State 78-77. the last time Dayton won their opener at the buzzer, they went to the Elite 8. i wouldn't mind seeing that again. to win a game like that while missing a player (Matej Svoboda, migraines) and against a team that is good enough to win their conference this season; especially given how young Dayton is, they should feel ready for a great season. they next will play Hofstra in the Charleston Classic.
Vice News Tonight had another great week of shows.
NJPW was excellent last night.
the season finale of Mike Judge Presents: Tales from the Tour Bus was excellent last night. i really hope this has many more seasons to come.
Real Time with Bill Maher was fucking hilarious last night.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Saturday Night Live, ROH, Austin City Limits, The LEGO Batman Movie and Foo Fighters - Landmarks Live in Concert.
Ohio State plays here in a few minutes against Michigan State. if Ohio State wants any chance to play for any kind of title this season, today is a MUST win.
the New York Rangers play at home today against Edmonton. i'd love to see the Rangers keep their winning streak going.
congrats to my old high school, Trotwood, for their victory over Dunbar last night, 64-26. they next will play CJ for the regional title. the dream for another state title in football is still alive.
my sister might show up here later today. thankfully, the t-shirt i got her for Christmas showed up yesterday.
that's all for me kids. i'm off to go watch some sports while icing down a bad back on a body riddled with arthritis. did i mention it was like 20 degrees when i went out to get the paper this morning? talk about some slow fucking steps in the cold.
i hope everyone has a great Saturday. call if you need bail money.
