good talk

I like to go to a college-game or 2 each season, and I hadn't.  I was given 11 tickets to yesterday's UNLV-Nevada at Reno game, I dispersed 10 and went.  UNLV was favored by 10 points and lost 45-10, a debacle of the lowest-order.  Reno was playing for their coach's job  Coach Polian is so wonderful, it's been all our fault, we're the bad-ones, not he  And maybe he'll keep it.  Intra-state rivals, they play each year, with the Fremont Cannon, an 1843, 575 lb. cannon, at stake, UNLV won last year, and painted it red, Reno, at the middle of the field after the game, painted it blue, and dragged-it off.  UNLV's coach is Tony Sanchez, a Puerto Rican, and the only Hispanic major-college head-coach, and I like him.  Formerly the ultra-successful coach at Bishop Gorman High, up to until yesterday, he had the program going the right-way, but really, Tony.  It was a lot of fun, worked-out, had a couple Rebel Dogs, pretty-good, to bring me back to life, fun-afternoon.  So, over the past 3 weeks, I've seen a high school game, a college game, a NFL game, and the Clips, as well as steeping in great-culture at those shrines of excellence.  Some of you have no healthy-interests.  Looking from the outside, I could see giving Charlie Strong another year, when he arrived at Texas, he ran-off 10 renegades, a really high-number, and probably more except you need lots of players to field a football team, it was a mistake to take the job.  Bucks showed nerves of steel, except their kicker who should be replaced, the past 2 weeks, hmm, the play-offs loom and Ohio State should be ready
