I did an 8 mile run this morning with the group. A new route but not too exciting. The good news is my butt bone is feeling WAY better. And it 's not massively ache-y afterwards.
B U T ... the U M could not pull off a win against those other guys. :(
B U T the Huskies won a game ! wow.
B U T the Zags win again. The games are painful to listen tobecause one of the announcers is Craig Ehlo. Who was a decent/good player. He is pretty lousy at announcing. He had the gig with the Sonics and I think every game was like death for Kevin Calabro. Kevin is hands down THE BEST BBALL ANNOUNCER. but old Craig is, well, he's a hick from Texas. And he played his college time at WSU. 'nuf said. Basically, he's an idiot. with a hokey Texan accent. So, today's best line (and I do think I'm going to have keep a log of them) was when the crowd was getting quite loud. He says to his partner "we need one of those decimal thingys". pause "you know, the noise" ... then his partner says "OH, a deciBal Meter". sheesh.
And for the first 2 games whenever Larry Gurganious would come into the game, Craig insisted on calling him "LG" . Pretending that he's close with the guys and knows their nicknames, when really I think he couldn't pronounce it. The other guy would go to great lengths to say the full name. Well, tonight when LG got into the game Craig said his full name 3 times in one sentence. Like someone (either Mrs. Ehlo or LG's mom) told CE to learn to use Larry's real name because you can't call him LG through the season, and they must have practiced over breakfast Cheerios every day. It's not like it's a hard name. Sounds just like it looks.
Speaking of Kevin Calabro, the Sonic game we watched last week, he was paired up with Marques Johnson. NOW they were the best announcing team in the world. FUNNY ! Great stories without losing sight of the game. Ahh, it brought back memories. And the good news is Marques will do 8 more games this season. Those games I will watch/listen to.
Tomorrow is my swim lesson. Wish me luck.
