waited 6 years for this...

Manchester United has finally won another trophy. it had been nearly 6 years since they had won anything. and given that this day is the anniversary of my stepfather dying 21 years ago, i am really, really happy they won the League Cup today over Newcastle, 2-0.

here are your links for this day of Black History Month:

the Dayton Flyers lost yesterday at home to George Mason, 74-69. Dayton played like shit for most of the game and what usually happens in one of these games, they played down to their competition yet again. they never took advantage of George Mason having their best player in foul trouble. Dayton missed way too many free throws and had way too many turnovers in crucial moments of the game. this also brings me back to the point i have always made about Anthony Grant. he isn't the type of coach that knows how to have his players take absolute control of a game when it is there to be taken. sadly, there is a time as an athlete where you have to have the mentality of stepping on a neck and eliminating any hope. it has been 6 years and Dayton still doesn't have that ability. and don't get me started about when Anthony Grant coaches against other black coaches, especially the ones that look up to him and respect him. just because you are admired doesn't mean you aren't allowed to beat them by 20 or 30 points. they play LaSalle on Tuesday. if they don't win that game, that means they will have to win at Saint Louis to secure the double bye in the A10 tournament.

i did watch plenty of the MLS games last night. i love the MLS 360 on Apple TV. that should do wonders for the viewing experience for the league.
