Day Nine

Man what a letdown yesterday. The atmosphere at SDSU was amazing, too bad the game did not turn out the way everybody wanted.  So yesterdays keys to winning the game were rebounds and free throws, lets look at the stats. While SDSU won the battle of the rebounds 37-32, BYU also shot an amazing 14-24 from behind the arc. Free throws SDSU was 11-16 to BYU 12-14. The biggest stat that was the killer for SDSU was Jimmer's 9 assist. I was amazed watching the cat play. He has skills. I really liked how before the game BYU finishes their shoot around and heads to the locker room. 2 minutes later Jimmer comes off the bench by himself and heads back to the locker room alone to the whole arena booing him. I bet he loved it and did it to fuel his fire. The Show really did put on a show. They did a great job keeping the intensity in the building and doing it rather respectfully. We had some jerk-off student in front of us who kept yelling stupid things about byu, mormons ect. and throwing peanuts at the BYU fans. The SDSU fans around us all kept telling him to stop and be mature, but some kids just don't get it.

The Giants continued their winning ways last night with an 8-3 victory over the bums. Hopefully today we will finally get a look at Brandon Belt who played Defense yesterday and committed an error but didn't get to bat. The Giants play the Dimondbacks again today at 12:10.

After the game I went and had a delicious lunch at URBN with Sarah. On our way there we said we were going to get something new. Once we got there we just couldn't do it. The mash potato pizza is so good we couldn't pass it up.

So after pizza we went to OB to meet up with some friends at a bar called Gallaghers Irish Pub. I will never go to this place again. We were there for close to an hour when the bouncer comes up to us and tells us we had to pay a cover to stay in the bar or leave because they were showing the UFC fights. I have never heard of something so stupid in my life. So we went to Sunshine Company and shot some pool. After that we went to Hamiltons and I had 2 new sours. 1 I didn't like so much. It was the Grand Cru from Brasserie De L'Abbaye Des Rocs. Then I had the Petrus aged ale from Brouwerij Bavik - De Brabandere Sour Ale.

Today we have the Lakers vs Thunder at 11:30 and the Knicks vs. Heat today at 5. I'm going to take the Knicks today +8.5 and the Lakers/Thunder over 201.


I also want to take a minute to congratulate the Clovis High School wrestling team. They became only the 2nd team in California wrestling history to qualify all 14 wrestlers to state. Lead by my boys Zach and Nick Nevills. Next weekend is state and Nick is looking to break Zach record as the heaviest  freshman to place at the tournament. This week after I get the brackets I will do a full breakdown of the tournament.
