After viewing a cool 10 hours of college basketball today, I figure now would serve as a nice break to get caught up in the world of Ohio Sports over the past week.
*****First, the Double C.. ooh Usher..bringing your pop hipness to Cleveland, OH. While I am all for a change in the attitudes of Ohio Sports fans, I can't imagine seeing overweight women and drunk men in the bleachers throw up the Double C's is what you had in mind. Yes, I know our team is changing, but calm down there buddy. A cheer is one thing or a clap, but whatever..I guess we will see how long this little fad draws out. The day my mom throws up the Double C's is basically the point of no return. In my amateur opinion, I think the first order of business sans fake gang symbols is the restructuring of this team.
wow..all I can say is wow.
*****So check out this random post from a baseball blogger about our beloved Tribe and their ever so common 'flameouts' as Many Go, Few Understand put it. Seeing some of those names brings back some early childhood memories...you bet I am thinking Cory Synder. Oh man was that team classic. They weren't the best but it feels like only yesterday that Brook Jacoby and Joe Carter were the big men in Cleveland. So anyways, good post overall and you definitely did your homework here. Willie Martinez..nice..
*****Ohio University, who I had as a sleeper pick in most of my pools, came oh so close today. Coming from 20pts down, the Bobcats tied it up at 60 with a little over a minute left. After FL hit a 3, OU turned over the ball and the dream had faded. I def had OU's back as the lone Ohio team in the tourney and I really wasn't disappointed. They played with heart and gave it their all. That loss was nothing to be ashamed of. See you next year this time when OSU returns with a vengeance.
--Oh by the way..thankyou CSTV for not setting up your site correctly and allowing me to view all the day games for free on Thurs/Friday...
*****And now it's time for a little..Browns draft talk. Check out this doozy of an article by Len Pasquarelli. If you aren't in the mood to inflict yourself with a whole article about Browns bashing, check out this little excerpt:
Still the lifeblood of any team, despite the breathlessly hyperbolic rhetoric that seems to accompany every free-agent addition, the draft remains one of the NFL's most critical underpinnings. Good teams, those that sustain success over a period of years, are usually good because they draft well. Bad teams seem to draft forever poorly. And that brings us to the Cleveland Browns, who are embarking on another makeover, the team's third since the club was reincarnated as an expansion franchise in 1999.
So on a bright note, we at least have a QB now in Trent Dilfer. It seems this 11yr vet might be our QB for the next few years given well...we have no one else. I also hear talks of maybe pickin up Alex Smith in the draft..that would be sweet and even a smart decision. How bout it Romeo..you ready to learn from the Hurricane influenced mistakes?
*****OH and one last thing... Paul Silas..hello new found respect. The big man was recently fined 10G's for a 'derogatory' remark thrown at Loozer's way. Amen..sounds like you really let him have it given the fact the league intervened. Dan Gilbert...I know you winked at Paul while yelling at him..it's cool...you're just doing your job.
That's it..enjoy the rest of the tourney.
