Got a Pulse?

...then I have a reason for you to be interested in NCAA men's basketball this season.For those who are looking for a reason to watch men's bball this year. I mean those who don’t care that BYU is 10-0 and aren’t to excited about following the Utes in a less than spectacular start. For those who are growing tired of North Carolina throwing a grown-up-NBA-style smackdown on anyone they face. For those looking for something more, something intriguing. I have just the thing. His name is Stephen Curry (pronounced Steffan Curry) and he plays for Davidson.

For those who have seen him there is phrase that comes to mind when seeing him drop 40 points a night and that phrase is “In your eye, chump”. This guys is so good I think I’ll follow suit and change my name to Scuba Steph. He leads the nation in scoring and that is even after an entire game of being doubleteamed. He had two defenders on him the entire game against Loyola a few weeks ago and didn’t score a point. Of course, Davidson blew them out by 30 (it helps to have a power play the entier game). Even with that scoreless night he’s still averaging 32 points a game (#1 in the nation). Papa Dell's gotta be proud of this young chapp.

Not to get off the subject but having fun watching this kid play got me thinking about a strange sports phenomenon. Offense = Excitement. Example; Noone likes sitting through 90 minutes of soccer to have the final score be 0-0. Might as well have a 90 minute footrace with no finishline. It's a sports fact that we all just need to face. How else can you explain people filling an ice rink full of dead carcases after a goal in hockey? Again, offense=excitement. Say it with me, "Offense Equals Excitement". That being the case; Steph Curry is an offensive/scoring/excitement machine. If he’s eight feet off the three point line, get a hand up cause it’s going up and it’s probably going in. Thank you Stephen Curry, for giving ALL people a reason to watch men's bball this season.

Where will Coach Whit go?

First, Ute defensive coordinator, Gary Anderson, took the helm in Logan as head coach.
Next, Ute offensive coordinator, Andy Ludwig, took the position as OC for Kansas State.

The head coach of the unbeaten Utah Utes can't be far behind.

Can I get another Boler?

I don't know about you, but I'm sick of hearing Ronald the Duck Boone ask Bolerjack if he can give away yet another Morgan Jewelers Diamond Play of the Game Award. By the end of the 1st quarter he typically has given away 2 or 3. How about this Booner.........give the award away at the END of the game!! That way, you'll only the plaY of the game, not playS of the game. If there is 1 award give it to 1 play, not 3 per quarter.

Banker reminded me of a similar thing going on at the SNF horse trailer. It's almost become a game to Madden to see how many guys he can plaster up there. I've seen him recognize the entire offensive line before. Now that looks lovely - 5 fat heads in a 2' x 2' square area.

Make up your mind folks!! You're diluting the value of the award if you give it away to every player who touched the ball or made a good block.

And what's with ESPN's college football awards? I think Bradford, McCoy, and Tebow all received best college football quarterback/football player awards of some sort last week. If that's the case, then who really is the best?

Let's water it down some more by thowing ME in there! You should have seen a TD pass I threw in this year's turkey bowl. Where's Ronald the Duck when you need him?
