Going to my first ever college basketball game tonight
Comments (7)oh, Kathleen, it might be better than you imagine. I think they last about 1 1/2 hours. Depends on time outs etc. Years ago I didn't give a hoot about sports. Finally was compelled to go because youngest is an all sports kid. She plays in school and took me to college games too. I prefer college game over high school. Not as rough, they seem to play cleaner, while jr High and high school is soooo rough! DD played an advanced team last summer and I got to know the rules and the plays so much better which helped me to enjoy what I was seeing. It's as though all of us parents watched for the great plays and lousy calls. I didn't holler in disgust but some parents where pretty good at it! lol! I was good at cheering them on, our girls actually asked us to be louder so they could hear us as they ran. Guess I'm saying, the more you understand what's happening the better the game! Hope you do have fun even if it's just watching the girls enjoy it. :) Their time here is half over by now I'm guessing. What have you gotten from this experience?...See MoreAny Harlan Coben fans?
Comments (10)I don't mind suspending disbelief. It's not the improbabilities that bother me; it's his digressions. They drive me nuts! One example I encountered yesterday: Grace (the protagonist) and a man from the Attorney General's office are looking for a store clerk who may have information they desperately need. They track him down to a Taco Bell, and spot him sitting in a booth. He's listening to music on his headphones. They rush up to him, but instead of getting into the confrontation the author launches into an internal dialogue Grace has with herself about listening to music that's too loud. When I heard, "Grace liked music....." I groaned. Here we go again. I don't know whether he feels compelled to share his views on anything and everything, or if he's simply trying to fill up pages. As for the time management, I'm surprised his editor hasn't addressed this. It's the kind of thing copy editors are supposed to pick up. Maybe they figure his books are selling so well they don't want to mess up the bottom line. :-)...See MoreHey college basketball fans...
Comments (16)Miss_sistersue....Roy Williams, coach for North Carolina, was the coach for Kansas for many years before Bill Shelf. I would love to play them in a final game. NC played a great game last night against Indiana! Oregon did not fare well against Oklahoma today. OK is in our conference and we have beat them twice, but they have a very fine ball team....that Buddy Heil is fantastic!...and if he is on, they will be hard to beat! This has been such a great tournament...what will I do when it is over? :-(...See MoreCollege Football fans. FCS Playoffs set!!!!
Comments (4)TJ- Oh yes!! Going to Frisco if they make it!! If so, it'll be our 4th consecutive year of attending the Championship game. Wild stuff! Many Bison faithful have already bought tickets, booked flights, etc. I wouldn't dare pull the trigger THIS early! * The winner of San-Diego & Cal-Poly this Sat comes to the Fargodome on Sat Dec 3rd. * The winner of Villanova & St. Francis (PA) this Sat, goes to our rival SDSU (in Brookings, SD...an outdoor stadium!) Sat Dec 3rd. * Our loooooonnnggtime in-state rival (100+ yrs), UND (dome stadium), made it to the FCS-Playoffs this year! There's a TINY chance that we could meet them in Frisco!!! An all-ND FCS Championship?! THAT would be wild!!! Frisco, TX couldn't HANDLE all the craziness!!! * Regardless...on Dec 3rd, since UND will host its game, AND SDSU hosting...AND my Bison hosting.....THREE FCS playoff games will be rocking on Northern I-29!! NCAA/FCS bracket here if you'd like: 2016 FCS Bracket Faron...See More- 10 years ago
