I'm just not a basketball guy any more
Saturday, March 22, 2008
I grew up in Indiana. I am...a Hoosier by birth. I used to watch and play basketball day and night. My dad put up a basketball hoop for me at all the places we lived growing up. But somewhere along the way, I lost interest. I'm not sure why, exactly.
I've tried to get a little excited about March Madness this spring, but it's not working. I'm too excited that Formula 1 and Indy Car are getting started in March. I'm just too much of a racing guy now.
It is interesting how something that seemed so important to me just years ago is not something I care to follow a any more.
Question of the day: What are some old interests you don't follow any more, and what new interests have you picked up?

Lloyd Carr - Retiring as head coach of U of M
Monday, November 19, 2007
Lloyd is stepping down after a very rough year at Michigan. Many fellow Michigan fans have respected Carr's character, but not his coaching philosophy, and are glad to see him stepping aside for someone new to come in. Michigan, year after year, has amazing talent that is coached into mediocre results.
Having said that, Carr did bring Michigan a national championship in the 1996-1997 season, and had an excellent winning percentage. However, he perennially lost to Ohio State, and couldn't find a way to win in the Rose Bowl in the last three trips.
Now the silly season begins, and many wonder if U of M can entice LSU head coach, Les Miles to come to the program. Les played for Bo Schembechler at Michigan, and is one of the favorites to replace Carr amongts fans. The only problem is that LSU has a clause in Mile's contract that specifies that he must pay $1.2 Million to LSU if he exits his contract early to coach at Michigan. Perhaps they saw this coming in Baton Rouge??

Dodgers Win
Tuesday, July 3, 2007
The Dad-in-law took me to see the Dodgers/Braves game tonite, and it rocked. The Dodgers squeaked out a win, 7-6 in a long and drawn out game! Good times. Tonite they had a special celebration to commemorate the fact that 175,000,000 people have gone to see the Dodgers play baseball.
I guess I'm one-in-one-hundred-and-seventy-five-million.
I hope everyone has a safe and fun Independence Day.
