Wed hoops

[Box and one]

JMU-1.5 over W&Mary **
Think JMU gets back on track after loss to Hofstra.

Dukies -10 over Fordham **
Think pressure defense on Rams gds will be to much..

Troy pk over FIU **
Think Troy is the better team.

Mass -3 over St joes **
Think Joe will have a tough time on the rd vs this explosive team.

New Orleans -8 over Denver **** best play
Like UNO tonite with McCaleb and co..UNO can score pts,has good FG%,FT%,etc.Poor rebounding team with 4 top scorers all gds.but denver who is 0-7 on the rd is the worst rebounding team in the country..ranked 341.There offense avg 56 pts a game but there defense with there style of play gives up only 60.
See a double digit win.

ASU -2 over zona **
Zona missing top player..love that ASU frosh..

Miss + 9 over Tenn **
Tenn loaded..think Miss can keep this close..
Cuse -3 over Cinncy **
Love Flynn..on the rd or at home..

URI +3 over Dayton **
Dayton tough at home but URI can beat anybody if they bring there "a" game..

Last nite shot air ball after airball..not to good..will rebound tonite..hopefully

[Old School]

best of luck...


retirement...how is it going..

 

[Box and one]

Old School..not very well.Kind of depressed a little.Working out everyday at Planet Fitness.Running 3 miles and walking two.Doing some weights...miss the students a lot...Last 10 years I have been at the door at 7.30 am welcoming 1,200 kids..and at 2.05 saying goodbye.Then it's bus duty,etc.I ate lunch with them in the cafe everyday...I knew 800 kids by first name...would take home the yearbook at nite and scan it.
I keep looking at my watch during the day and saying to myself..it's 4th period.....kind of sick...Two of my kids are still home from college..they go back soon...going to vegas for a week on tuesday..maybe that will help....I think there is a difference in retiring then being forced to retire.I wasn't ready.... thanks for asking..I know a lot of you guys have asked and are concerned...was offered a few per-diem jobs as an asst principal by some of my principal buddies..maybe I'll take one of those..in a month or two...
My wife is really worried about me...I use humor as my defense mechanism..and she see's right through that.I get away with it... with everyone else. I'm planning on some trips besides Vegas.Going to Texas in late March..Visit my wife's family in East Texas...daughter in Austin..bohawk..you'll be gone from Padre by then,right?
Going to write down 10 things I would love to do in the next year or two...
1. Go to the middle east..Israel..take a tour...
2. When baseball season starts go to Philly and stay with my daughter....go to opening day and see my Phillies.Never been to the new ballpark
3.Go on a Civil War tour...Maryland,Va,
4.Go to the Caymans...sit on a beach chair...just like the Corona commercial...have a laptop..and capp a few games...
5.Go to Italy...have family in Calabria,Brecia,Lake Garda,Messina....but would lose everything that I have worked on at Planet fitness.
6.Have to stop..I'm doing these off the top of my head..they sound pretty good..I'll have to really think of some more..
My buddy told me this retirement thing "is like having a snow day everyday"...and I want to go back to work....think I need some therapy..
GL tonite..

Good luck Box!! Looks like a strong card.....with ya on Mass and the Cuse.....man, that Rhody game ought to be fun, but could not make on call on it as I've won on each team a few times this season....think I'll sit back and enjoy that one!!

Hang in there, my man....you'll find something....love the list you got going, always wanted to do a civil war trip myself!!

 

[Dr Feelgood]

Just take it easy Box, it's only natural to have those feelings when you are blessed with a great job for so many years. You influenced 1000's of kids whether they realize it or not and that is something to be very proud of.
Man I would love to love my job the way you did. Cherish the memories. Enjoy your retirement (you definately deserve it), keep adding to the list and seek them out. You are a great Man, I wish you all the best.

looks like a solid card tonight. hope you cash

 

[FB-49]

Alright Box,already with you on Duquense.Good Luck with the rest of your card.

It sounds like it might be a good idea to explore one of those other positions,if they fit for you but Don't force it.
I think it is very common what you are experiencing with your new found freedom.If I could give any advice at all it would be to give yourself some time and really just let things happen as they will.Your obviously a bright guy.It will come to you.
In the mean time lets hope our G-Men are able to put Romo on his back this Sunday and keep things going on the O-side so that we can move on to GB.I could be hopeful,right?

All the best to you Box!
