Hope was Right

The 2007 Women’s World Cup has proved the importance of the Status Quo.
-Brazilians and Germans are tremendous at Soccer.
-The Aussies are full of heart.
-You always choose the hot blonde women from Washington.
-American Soccer coaches over think their tactics and act like idiots.
-The English Football Association can't field a team to get into the final four.
-Only losers like me watch women’s soccer at all, let alone at 6 in the morning.
-Rob Stone is the best.

Thanks to an improved team and an easy schedule, UConn Football team is 14 minutes away from starting 5-0. CT football fans still act lame. There is an elitist element to UConn sports that works with some of the other sports, but Football is a game of the masses. It's time to start some real traditions folks. Leaving in the 3rd quarter does not count. Plus, the rest of the schedule is brutal, with Louisville, West Virginia, and Rutgers in the mix.

Watching the Red Sox win the East was enjoyable, but I have never been a fan of "Lets celebrate like crazy for winning the division." Many a late September party has crumbled into an early October bitchfest. Despite the 12 year drought, I don't know if it was warranted having Cinco Ocho running around with a BUD Light box on his head. Now, if they win the WS at home this year, then obviously all bets are off….

I'm off to the place where the dreams of millions have been shattered like cheap Walmart wine glasses…. Atlantic City...Jermain Taylor vs. Kelly Pavlik, aka "the fight that saved boxing #24".

Also, some of the chosen few who read this have asked about the C's preseason game at The Sun. I am going to make it, I'm sitting courtside section 26. Oh to be able to blow my salary on sporting events!

So let it be written, So let it be done….
