We’re going to go bullets for the first blog post of twenty-o-ten. I’ve made a resolution to be better at expressing ideas that bounce around this noggin of mine. I don’t want to lose these thoughts so I resolved to express myself once a week. We’ll see how it goes because I’ve never been a resolution guy.
So here we go….
Mark McGwire – You were one of my heroes when I was younger. I begged my parents to take me to an Oakland A’s game when I was in sixth grade to see you and Canseco play. While what you did was technically not against the rules back then, it was wrong. I am glad you are finally talking about this. I have no doubt you took your cues from Major League Baseball as they wanted to see how this panned out. I think you could have diffused a lot of this if you came out in the forefront and be the first to admit and discuss this.
Pete Carroll – Pretty big jump with some pretty big repercussions on the coaching carousel. He leaves a pretty big seat on that carousel. Granted there looms the big possibility of some NCAA sanctions on the horizon for the Men of Troy. I think those gathering clouds affect the potential prospects to take that job. Let’s look for Chris Petersen of Boise to become a player in this.
Huskers – Wow did three weeks off do them some good. Drubbed the Arizona Wildcats 33-0 with a previously unseen offensive explosion. The Arizona defensive staff looked dumbfounded. I don’t blame them though. If anyone watched film of us down the stretch, our playcalling was bland at best. This game will do wonders for them this off-season.
Wearing Jerseys in Public – I had a facebook status update that besmirched grown men wearing jerseys in public. I referred to going Kroger to pick up some groceries on a Thursday as opposed to actually wearing it to the game. I gave a pass to those who wore them while in the stadium. Here is another example of why one shouldn’t wear a jersey in public.
Resolutions – Now I know I just said that I’m resolving to write in this more, but do resolutions really work? I don’t think so. Resolutions come off as a half-hearted attempt to commit to something. If you really want a change, you need to commit to that change and let nothing stand in the way your desired change. I may be on a soapbox here but it’s what I’ve learned in my short time on this ball.
Harry Reid – Why does he get a pass for what he said about Obama? If it were a Republican or Conservative that said the same things there would be a firestorm. A firestorm that would ultimately lead to a resignation in shame.
Have a great new year. Hopefully we will see more frequent observations this year.
