Sorry about that. Just wanted to get those in
Manhattan +5.5 over Peter **
I watched Manhattan the other nite vs Canisius...they looked horrible..Williams who I like looked lost..he had 3 turnovers in the 1st 2 minutes...they looked sloppy but the Griffs were not much better...if it wern't for Reese for the Griffs not sure how the game would of ended...Peter no offense is catching up with them...they have lost 3 straight and are 2-5 in the MAAC...Griffin is there only true scorer..Paulicapp played great for Manhattan...Jaspers gds putting their heads down dribbling into traffic..after 2 or 3 times you stop..not the other nite..think Jaspers have enough offense to stay with Peter...
Quinn -1.5 over Siena **
2 sad looking teams in the conf...Saints on the road are terrible...did play Iona tough but lost to Marist and Manhattan..Quinn has Young who was a juco 2 yrs ago and just played a little...having a great year...Kelly has been added and is a solid pt gd that can pass...Daniels is the biggest disappointment...a 6'8 scorer who has 12,6,2,16,11,6 and 5 points in last games..he is a pre-season 1st team all conf...think its about time he wakes up..Quinn's new coach is Villanova's asst...they paid him $800,000 a year to coach them...he better start earning his money vs a bad Saints team...
Canisius +6 over Iona **
Griffs looked bad in a win over Manhattan...play like that today and Iona blows you out of new Rochelle ..Reese was spectacular..Crumpton is tough... no one ever knows what Iona team shows up..think the Griffs stay close today..
Vir -9 over Wake ****
they have won 9 in a row..are 17-1...defense is their game..holding good teams to under 52 points...think they are on a mission after last yrs NCAA tourney...Jerome,Hall,Guy,etc..Wake lost 4 of last 5..make it 5 of last 6...
Crazy day yesterday..was in a rush
was
8-7 +8*'s
Passed on Rider-Marist
Played St Joes 1st half but I forgot to write down St Joes for the game..also forgot Temple -2 over Penn...
and South Dakota St ....didn't count them since I left them out
La Laf I loved I had them for the game,1st quarter and then texted on my phone at the game .. I am getting pretty good at texting now..but couldn't find the box key..so just put 3 boxes...
Bartley 4 ,Laf s best player had 2 quick fouls and sat out..Laf up 12 at the half..+05. was the halftime line..so Jumped on it..Bartley came in the 2nd half and hit a 3 and a dunk in the 1st 2 minutes ...plus sitting next to me was Bartley 3,his father...it was great..told me his son went to BYU for 2 years and transferred to Laf...watch No 1 Marquias he is from USC..he hit a few 3's...Lafs had so much speed and athleticism ..they blocked 8 shots but altered another 8.. Tx St couldn't do anything..Pearson Tx Sts top player ended up with 4 points..shot 2-13...Lafs defense was outstanding..
My families Christmas gift for me was tickets to see the " Moody Blues"...going tonite...I am a big time Moody Blues fan...seen them maybe 3 or 4 times...they gave me tickets for a photo oop before the concert.....they didn't have to do that but we are sitting in the front with great seats...looking forward to tonite
Just got a text from my daughter in Philly...they dressed my 1 yr old grandson in a Philly Eagle outfit..getting ready for todays game...I texted back saying that's tough on me and your brother being Giant fans...her text back to me was
" Dad,It hurt my heart to purchase it,but he was born and raised here...its the only right thing to do"..then my granddaughter here in Austin mother just said.." my molly will never wear a Cowboy jersey..."
then the philly daughter texted back " its different in Philly,Ben would get jumped in NY sporting a NY Giant Jersey.. hmmm she might be right...Ben can wear an Eagle shirt but I still hope Minny beats them
