Task at hand

The great John Wooden of UCLA who teams won 10 out of 12 years the NCAA Basketball Championships from 1964-1975 once said Task at hand. As I walk into another day of sobierty that thought has been with me all day. Many time in life some one will say they or someone else made me have a bad day. I say that is a reach, maybe a bad moment not the whole day. Lets look at that thinking. A moment you can recovery and save the day and move on. What I'm saying is I need to live my life moment to moment. It hard to deal with the whole day at one time, but I can deal with moments at a time. Which lead me back to the thought task at hand. What ever is in front of me just deal with it and move to the next thing when it time comes. I found out that I lost my way on that way of thinking. Which will lead be to talk about meditation in the coming blogs. I have heard that meditation is a way of coming home to yourself. It been a long time since I have really been at home or at peace with myself. Today was the first day in a long time that I meditate and that was the key to my 17 years of sobierty. So when we blog on tomorrow. I thinking meditation will be a thought for the day and days to come.

Changing the subject

Well my friend it been almost a year since I have communication with you. What have I been doing falling into a hole. Thing happen for a reason. The first reason is what I have done and how I react to what has been done to me. I have been talking about changing the blog subject manner for a while. Now I have something to blog and it the hole that I have allow myself to fall into. I know a lot people who write or blog it all about up lifting and that is great. I'm going to come at thought or angle were a lot of people might be right now in there life's. That thought is I'm down and how do I get up. Right now that is were I'm at. Hopefully I will be able to get up and do great thing again, but I just want to try to learn something from this fall from grace. I'm going to tell you something and it going to be very hard for me to say. Here it is, I had 17 years of no sobierty and I allow that to change. Now hopefully you can see were this blog is going. On this day I have 1 day of sobierty and hopefully I can get back some of that focus that I use to have. I think and I don't want to say I know but I don't think many people will read this so I'm doing this for myself and if someone else get something from it, God bless you.

Ohio U big Upset over Georgetown

Armon Bassett was moments removed from helping No. 14 seed Ohio University pull one of the great upsets in NCAA Tournament history a 97-83 shellacking of No. 3 Georgetown last night in the first round of the Midwest Regional yet he repeated what he had been telling his teamates for days. "In this tournament you don't necessarily have to be the better team, you just have to be the better team in that particular game," Bassett said. "And we were the better team." If Ohio State is to satisfy many office-pool predictions by diving to at least Elite Eight depth, then one player in particular must channel a certain Michigan State legend. No, not Evan Turner, whom Michigan State coach Tom Izzo recently compared to Magic Johnson. Certainly, it helps the Buckeyes NCAA Tournament chances if Turner copies what Johnson accomplished during the Spartans' run to the 1979 championship. But Ohio State will still be fine even if Turner only matches his current averages of 20.3 points, 9.2 rebound and 5.9 assists, which, by the way, match up extremely well with Johnson's sophomore championship season (17.1, 7.3, 8.4) They need their center to come up big, let see what happen tonight, Hopefully the Buckeyes will play on Sunday. 12 12 down and gone

Taking a look at the 1st round

The NCAA tournament is on today. I will take a look at the best games of the day, the 8 & 9 and 7 & 10 games. UNLV and Northern Iowa, there is something about picking the lower seed teams, I will pick Northern Iowa. 7 and 10 team Oklahoma State and Georgia Tech this winner will most likely play Ohio State and my winner for this game is Oklahoma State. Good old Gonzaga seed No. 8 playing No. 9 Florida State, Gonzaga hasn't fair to well this year, so I'm picking Florida State. This No. 10 seed just made it in the dance, I will pick the No. 7 team to get the win in this contest and that team is Brigham Young over Florida. At one time this year Texas was a No.1 team in the country and they drop all of the way out of the top 25, how often does that happen, Wake Forest beating Texas. We will go to the ACC for the No. 7 seed, Clemson putting Missouri out of the dance. I think this will be the best game of the first round, Louisville and California the winner of this contest will be the Cardinal of Louisville. The last one of the first round is who cares, I will go with St. Mary over Richmond. So there you have it my friends, have at it as the car drivers would say. 12 12 down and gone.

A look at the tournament

This is the great time of the year, spring, baseball season, sunshine and hope. I will take a look at some of the first round games today. The first game I will look at is Tennessee playing in the Midwest No. 6 seed (25-8) against No. 11 San Diego State (25-8). Well, both of these teams have the same record and one of them we get their 26th win and the others their 9th defeated. I'm going to pick the lower seed to win this game and that is San Diego State. Lets go the the West this team that I'm going to pick has the most win of any in the tournament, but they are a No. 13 seed. I think they will beat the No . 4 seed Vanderbilt and that team is Murray State (30-4). Here is another game for a lower seed I think will get the upper hand on the higher seed, Siena No. 13 in the South with a (27-6) I think they will knock off No. 4 Purdue (27-5). There is this person that I work with that went to Ohio U and they think they can beat Georgetown, just keep your eye on this one. Georgetown is the No. 3 seed in the Midwest with a solid (23-10) record on the other hand Ohio U is (21-14) and No. 14 seed. This isn't going to be an upset it going to be a blow out. 12 12 down and gone.

Ohio State Big Ten Champion

I'm an Ohio State fan big time and when the basketball season started back in November, my thinking was if Ohio State could finish the season with 20 win and 10-8 in the conference I would be happy. Eight games into the season Evan Turner broke his back and I thought the season would be lost. He was to be out for 8 weeks and he came back in 3. To started the Big Ten season off without Turner and 0-2 in the conference, Turner came back for the third game against Indiana and they won. The next trip was going to Minnesota and they lost now they are 1-3, next game undefeated and No. 4 Purdue on their floor. Purdue leading 43-29 at the half and it look like the Buckeyes were going to be 1-4. This is when their season turn around, they won that game 70-66 and from that point they when on to win 16 out of 17 in the Big Ten. So me being an Ohio State fan this has been a great season. I do think that Evan Turner will be the National Player of the Year. Just think how he won the Michigan game and the Big Ten Player of the Year. The Big Dog did eat this past weekend, on to March Madness. 12 12 down and gone.

Big dog will eat today

All conference tournament will continue No. 1 Kansas will play Texas Tech today in the Big 12 today. Alabama will play Kentucky in the SEC tournament they will most likely get the No. 1 seed for the NCAA tournament. Let go to the ACC Duke will take the court with Virginia with hopes of get that 4th No. 1 seed. The Big Ten will have their two teams on display today Purdue and Ohio State trying for that 4th No. 1 seed. Outside chance West Virginia beat Cincinnati last night at the horn and they play Notre Dame in the big East today. Notre Dame is trying to play their way in the field of 65 with a victory over West Virginia. Another team trying to work their way in is Illinois they have to beat Wisconsin. Michigan State playing for respect in the Big Ten, earlier this season they had a 3 game lead on the field of the Big Ten and they were 9-0 and they finish with a 14-4 record and a three way tied. Purdue had a three game set back in the Big Ten early and they came back to share the three way tied with Ohio State and Michigan State. Ohio State travel to Purdue earlier this year at 1-3 and finish the season by winning 11 out of 12 games and a 14-4 record. Enjoy the games today. 12 12 down and gone.
