Blizzard '08

Today was easily the nastiest snow storm I have seen around these parts since we got 5 feet of snow in 4 days my 6th grade year. We got about two feet of snow and as far as I know, it is still coming down out there. I was outside twice today snow-blowing our driveway and my sister's driveway and it was tough going both times. The extra shoveling I had to do for sidewalks and hard to hit places was such that I'm certain I'll be stiff tomorrow. Seeing the dogs hopping through it was quite fun. I'm sure it was funny to see me trying to run and not being able to lift my feet and therefore falling flat on my face. Tomorrow will definitely be a good time to have snow ball fights and such.

Didn't have time to watch CNN today, kept busy with other things, so no updates on my enjoyment of the democratic primary.

I give Valpo some credit, we made it further into the Horizon League Tourney than I expected. Semi-finals loss to a well rested CSU isn't too bad. However, I do have a beef with the set-up of the tournament. Where do you get off forcing us to play back to back games while the top two seeds have been resting for over a week? That is ridiculous. Why don't they simply have a Horizon Championship game isntead of pretending that it is a tournament, cause that's what it ends up as anyway. Also...why do we have pre-NCAA tournament tournaments anyway? Every conference has a tournament...then what did the regular season mean. I suppose that is the only angle from which the Horizon League's system approaches making sense. However, that is not the answer either. Some of the conference tournaments don't even end until it is too late to adjust the real brackets for teh NCAA anyway, so WTF? One final comment in the sports realm...Homer...why did Lloyd see the floor at the end of tonight's game? That is all.

In the midst of Blizzard '08, why not snow blow Lloyd into the face of the Horizon League officials; they just might fall flat on their face in 2 feet of "Monster" primaries.
