Tough Saturday

Well events like the one that happened yesterday are what have taught me to not allow myself to develop any hope towards BYUs football program. When it comes down to it they just don't have what it takes to become one of the nations elites. Dont get me wrong, they can play some incredible games, and can compete with just about anyone in the country...but they are just too inconsistent. They just cant manage to put a full season together. BYU is a great team that pulls together and plays well in many situations, but the fact of the matter is that from time to time they just get out-played by the athleticism of other teams. Florida State was just too fast for BYUs defense and tore them apart. Its too bad....BYU can kiss their magical season goodbye.

The BYU game wasn't the only disappointing outcome from Saturday's lineup. USC lost a tough one to UW up in Seattle but Pete Carroll proved his point of why he chose to start Matt Barkley over Aaron Corp. Corp struggled all game to get anything going for SC. SC was held to just 110 passing yards which is the fewest passing yards SC has posted under Pete Carroll. Hopefully the Trojans can get into a rhythm on offense and begin to score some offensive points like they have been known to do in the past.

Lastly the Utah loss to Oregon just leaves the Mountain West one step further from gaining national respect as one of the country's elite conferences.

Props To Our Boy

Well I thought it would be appropriate to give a shout out to our boy Steven Lenhart who currently playing forward for the Columbus Crew. John and I grew up with Steve. Congrats on the start last night and also on the win. Nice to see one of our boy representing in the professional realm of sports.

I LOVE LA

Alright lets talk Dodgers! These boys are pulling it togther. Ethier walk off in the 13th, unreal, love the guy. Kemp and Belliard homering yesterday, with Kuroda doing well on the mound. We are 5 games up right now and I think we are just starting to get hot. We need Billingsley to find his rhythm and get Kershaw to stop shagging balls, so he can stay healthy. What happens on the mound going down the stretch is so important. This is our time to start to light the fire. Manny needs to get hot going down the stretch and as we all know he has the ability to be huge factor in this teams success. I love the look of our team right now. Some people will question our pitching going into the post season and say that we don't have an ace that you will need to win the world series. But not all teams in the past have had a Schilling or Hamels. If we look at the White Sox win in 2005, we don't find an ace. Now lets also be clear, they had the likes of Buehrle and Garland, who were amazing. Who obviously had a big part in them winning. But I don't think they are in the same category as a Schilling or Hamels. If Broxton can get into his grove and our top 3 starters can also get hot, I see us going deep in the playoffs. THIS IS OUR TOWN!

BOSTON SUCKS

I thought it would be important for everyone to know that i HATE the Boston Red Sox! I dont like one thing about their franchise. I hate the city, the team, and especially the FANS! I cant really think of more obnoxious fans. I cant stand Mike Lowell, Jason Varitek is a joke, Dustin Pedroia is over rated, and Kevin Youkilis needs to trim the goatee. There was no curse in Boston, the Red Sox just sucked for 86 years!!!

Yankees 26 Red Sox 7

Just a shout out to my boy Nathaniel Joseph Grochmal. He played Two seasons with the Kamloops Blazers at RW. The blazers are in the WHL and Mr. Grochmal would likely be playing in the NHL right now if it weren't for his dedication to his personal beliefs. This is just an old picture i scrounged up. Great flow Nate. Are those highlights?

All respect lost for Serena Williams.

I don't know who saw the match between Serena Williams and Kim Clijsters this past weekend but it was a complete disgrace. Serena Williams made a complete fool of herself by yelling uncontrollably at one of the line judges. The line judge apparently called Serena for stepping on the line on one of her serves and Serena let loose!!! Haha it was pathetic. She walked over to this judge waving her racket at her in rage and began screaming at her. She then proceeded to tell her that she was going to shove a tennis ball down her f@#$ing throat! But she wasn't done. She walked back to the line as if she was going to continue play but then returned back to the line judge and continued scolding her!!! At this point the line judge walked away from her and then it was determined that Serena would be charged a point for her behavior. It just so happened that they were at match point so Serena lost the match. BUT COME ON SERENA, have some class. As if the line judge really had it out for you, she was trying to do her job and shes not perfect. Settle down and play the game. You are a professional, you should know how to behavior yourself. 13 year-olds don't act like that. In my opinion she should be suspended from the next grand slam event. That kind of outburst is completely unacceptable.

My Wife

I thought it would be appropriate to introduce our readers to my wife, who plays volleyball at Pepperdine. This is a sports blog and I happend to have quite an athletic wife(thank goodness). So I will be updating y0u from time to time on their season. They actually will be playing UCLA this wednesday at Pepperdine and then traveling to Hawaii to play a set of matches with them on the weekend. Go Waves
