Time to get LOUD time to represent

Yes yes, we all know what time it is, it's tournament time baby! Those of us in Indiana know this time of year as "Hoosier Hysteria" as the state tournament begins tonight for girls basketball. This first round that starts this week is called Sectionals, 2 games on Tuesday night, 2 on Friday night and the championship on Sat night. The Lady Kats open Tonight at 7:45 vs Harrison a team they beat 63-29 in the season opener. We are a HEAVY favorite to win the sectional considering we take an 18-2 record and #4 ranking into sectionals but you never know what can happen during tournament time. We lost our last game out at home vs. 2 time defending state champ North Central 49-43 in just an amazing game played in front of 3000 LOUD fans rocking Memorial Gym. It was an odd game, the Kats had two starters not playing due to injury and illness, and North Central features Amber Harris a young lady headed to Purdue next year. Got to see something special in that Miss Harris stole the ball raced down court and dunked, yep a HS girl dunked it was awesome. So, the run begins towards the goal of making the state finals at Conseco Fieldhouse in a few weeks. Last year we lost in the final 4 one freakin' step away from state, when a girl from Gary hit an insane three pointer with like 10 seconds to go. It will be hard pressed to repeat the run from a year ago, but if we get healthy we have a great shot, not to mention we have one of the best players, and shooters in the state. Love tournament time!! In the end I will be very disappointed if we don't at least win sectionals. We are hosting so that gives us the extra edge, 3000 screaming fans in hot pink. After that you not only need to be good, but a bit lucky as well.
My famous predictions return, here is what I think will happen
McCutcheon over Jeff(this is an upset)
Kokomo over Harrison
Kokomo over McCutcheon
Marion ove Logan(they are the berries)
Kokomo over Marion for the title.

Lets see for those of you who don't enjoy sports, spygal quit your complaining, this next part is for you. I figured I might as well share what I did this weekend, I went over to Spy's place and watched her senior citizen neighbors get it on, I still can't believe spy is charging for people to watch! haha JK. Lets see Friday I had absolutely NOTHING to do it was grand, so I started reading my new Tammy Hoag book "Dark Paradise" couple hours later I had finished. It was good, but not as good as some of her others. I am gonna read "on the run" by Iris Johansen next I can't wait, I love her books. I was pretty stoked to find it, I didn't know she had a new book out. After reading I watched some tv, and turned in for the evening very uneventful. I did have an odd dream about one of you in the links but I will not be sharing it's inappropriate.

Sat I slept in a little, and then I watched some college basketball it was insane both ESPN and ESPN 2 had games on and at almost the exact same time both games went to overtime as someone hit a 3 on both channels, CRAZY I tell you. Then I figured since I was picking up Kristen later I better make myself halfway presentable as we had plans to go to dinner and the Purdue game. I had a great time I love hanging with Kristen she is awesome. Dinner was excellent, we ate at an italian place over in Lafayette, and headed over to Mackey. What a night the BOILERS WON!! They beat Wisconsin, it was awesome to be there. After the game we headed to Harry's to meet up with some old friends, Harry's is a great bar, ever get to Lafayette go there, and GO UGLY EARLY!! We kicked it at the cactus for a bit as well. All in all a great night.

As for Sunday, I was so ready to watch the superbowl, and I admit to even flipping to the animal channel and catching a bit of Puppy Bowl II such high drama. So, here is the great thing about Super Bowl Sunday, nobody wants to put original programming up against it so you get marathons of shows all day long, or movies it's awesome. Before the game even starts, I didn't watch all the pregame shit, I decided to start some laundry, ended up doing 6 much needed loads I now have clean clothes yay me! I traded emails with the world famous Seahag, she is so cool! If you don't read her blog I suggest you do, you can even see her cats get a bath. Anyway before the big game I started watching the Yes Dear marathon on TBS, and well I fell asleep haha. I woke up and it was like halftime, and ever since MTV was banned from doing the halftime show I have no interest in it, Sorry Rolling Stones. I hate to admit this, but I didn't even watch but the last 3 seconds, and that was because I was waiting for Grey's Anatomy haha I am a loser. Next year will be more fun when the Colts win it all, right Nutty? Finally on to Grey's Anatomy HOLY SHIT what an episode! I was on the edge of my seat all show long. Izzie and Alex got busy, Meredith has her hand in a mans chest, that happens to have a bomb in it and if she moves her hand BOOM, Bailey is in labor, while her husband is fighting for his life on the operation table HOLY HELL what a power punched hour. I can't wait til the next episode. Then after the show I went to bed to get ready for a long week of Bleacher Butt! I think I will be there by Friday at halftime. Thanks for reading this very boring post, if any of you made it this far.

GO LADY KATS!

I found the sports talk quite stimulating..(yawnnnnnn)..then I saw MY name and was like, "yea, now we're talking"....then I saw mention of the old couple, then I was like, "puke"..then I saw you mention Kristen and I was like, "awwwwwwwwwww", then you mentioned your laundry and I was like, "geesh, what's he been wearing all this time?"....then you mentioned Gray's Anatomy and I was like, "ok, this seems like a good show"....
So I give you a B for the post and an A for being able to watch my neighbors without throwing up in your own mouth !!....you so kinky !

Oh wow I can't wait for the tournament to begin! I was born in Indiana and moved to Denver, Colorado when I was 5 (34 years ago). I still try to keep up with Indiana sports. Do you support a team 'Phats'. I take it that's not your real name?!
