IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME!

IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME!

- Shouts out to Rakim. I took off just over 2 weeks to take care of some personal matters, but now I am back! Its good to be back in the mix.

WELL, WELL, WELL...
- Now Y'all know I'm not one to brag, but Dang! Did I hit it or not on this NCAA Tournament? 3 out of 4 Final Four teams ain't bad. (Ok, I missed on UConn). But I can live with that. My Spartans are decided underdogs against UConn, but we were just there against Louisville. Izzo is becoming (or maybe has become) the best short-turnaround coach in the business. With the 5 days between the last game and this Saturday 5:47 tip-off, I am sure he's been cooking up some good stuff for Jim Calhoun and the Huskies.

- My boys in Green are doing the thang, but there are some concerns. One, Raymar Morgan has got to find his game. Since he has been back from illness, he's looking more like Matt Steigenga than the dog he's been earlier in the year. There is an APB out for the Raymar Morgan of the 1st Semester. Raymar, we need you aginast Connecticut, fella.

UNC! UNC! UNC!

- The Tar Heels are the No Doubt favorites left. 'Nova has done a wonderful job in negotiating their region, but I think the buck stops here. Tyler, Ty, Danny, Wayne, Deon, etc. are just Too Much, Too Good, Too Ready, Too Talented and just Too of everything to let this chance get away. If Nova just had one more legit player above 6'8", I'd be real concerned.

Let Them Play, Ref!

- This is an SOS to all of the game officials: Let the players play this weekend. No one is coming from all over the country to watch how many times the refs can make "Big time" calls. No one is coming to my hometown for Ed Hightower and crew to hog up air time. No one has been planning for months to hit The Big D so that the zebras can be the One Shining Moment of the weekend. I implore you to allow the players to decide the games.

- Obviously do your jobs, no one wants to see anyone be robbed because of silent whistles; but also no one wants to spend an incessant amount of time digesting the latest and greatest WTF call by an official. Remember the golden rule of officiating: you had a great game if no one noticed you were there.

Obvious Book Plug of The Day:

- Everyday we have is a gift from God. He blesses us to see each 24 so that at some point, we will glorify Him. Find your way to do what you do to give Him the glory. Remember, we are His workmanship, we are the sheep of His pasture; it is He that has made us and not we ourselves. Our destiny is completely based in our seeking His will for our lives, and in whatever distinctive method and gifting that He has made available to us, that is how we should please Him. Do what you do and glorify the name of Jesus, our Lord and Savior!

Just wanted to Hit Y'all Up Quick Fast & in a Hurry. Don't worry, my vision ain't Blurry.

Be Blessed everyone!
