Tigers Lose, Hogs Lose, Pnemonia and colds are not caused by the cold, but Hey! my Fantasy Team Won! Finally

Well it was a great weekend to hang out with my father, my brother and my nephew. Unfortunately, we traveled 2 and 1/2 hours to Starkville only to freeze our asses off and then leave with 5 minutes left and miss the most exciting part of the game. But...we still lost so we didn't feel too regretful. After the Hogs turned it over on downs, trailing by 10 with under 5 minutes left and I couldn't feel my fingertips or lips, I decided to get a jog in a run the mile to the car. Of course after that, my face was frozen , but then I was able to put the coat on that I, of course, left in the car to begin with.
Dad and I headed back in his car and Mike and Collin went back with Mikes friend, Jason and his son. In the car ride home, my father and I decided to do what we normally do to pass time, which is have the most random arguments or conversations known to man. It started off as it normally does, with my father saying.."OK, lets name the 9 ways that you can score from 3rd base with two outs and no one else on base." We always get to 8 and the argue about what the 9th is. Then we got into a conversation about pneumonia and colds and how one contracts them. This is where I become dumb and argue against a FACT that I know to be true, just to see if I can BS enough to get my Dad to agree with me...knowing that I am wrong. I failed miserably. Its kind of like the show on ESPN, called PTI, two guys pick a topic and one HAS to take one side, and the other HAS to take the other...if you had a TV show with two people agreeing all the time...it wouldn't do very well. It would be like Katie Couric interviewing a Democratic Presidential Nominee. Anyway, I took the side that pneumonia could in fact be caused by cold weather, or falling into a pool of freezing water, and I argued till I turned blue, but I knew it was wrong...bottom line...it shortened the trip home and it entertained the hell out of my father and I. (Fact is that pneumonia and colds are caused by bacteria and germs, or sometimes a virus when we talk about colds. The reason why most people get them in the winter, is because everyone is in close quarters, because they are usually inside, where its warm...and you can spread germs better...because its cold outside!..wait...I think I just proved my point...nah)
So that was pretty much the weekend...pretty lame...The Tigers lost tonight because they are missing 3 main things that they had last year. They have NO Identity as a TEAM. They have NO Leadership. but worst of all they have NO confidence. Fact is you CANNOT win anything in life without confidence. You can get far on luck and talent, but if you lack the will to win and knowing that you can do it, you make mistakes (like missing big free throws when it counts). Now I would like to believe that the Tigers could make a good run this year, but they are a long way away. To be honest we are not even close to being guaranteed CUSA champs this year. There is some talent in this league and the Tigers have definitely fallen back since last year...but this is why we pay the big bucks to Coach Cal, and I do believe he can have this team in the Sweet 16 again. That would pave the way for a next year, where your Tigers very well could be a preseason Top 3 team.
Oh and my fantasy team won for only the second time in 8 games. After starting of 4-0 in the league, this win will get me to 6-6 and clinch a spot in the playoffs...I know of all things that anyone could care less about, it would be my fantasy team, but I can't sleep people...so I just type what comes to mind. You will just have to deal. Turkey day is coming...and so is a Holiday special blog, with lots of pics of the cutest kids in the world stay tuned and if you don't hear from me, Happy Thanksgiving...gobble gobble.
