The Blue Blood Rivalry

Death. Taxes. And sports rivalries is what gets everyone through their lives. Most adults have to go through a LONG 5 day work week of sitting at a desk, half doing work/ have listening to some random podcast, and counting down the minutes until you get to go home and have a Digiorno pizza with 2 beers. But then we get to experience something that makes those 5 days of agony worth it, and it's sports rivalries. It can be football, it can be basketball, it can be ping pong. A rivalry is a rivalry and it will get me on the couch fully invested. A rivalry unlike any other, is the Blue Blood Rivalry. I cannot say I am a die hard fan of the rivalry, but this is a rivalry that gets the blood flowing. The Hansbrough broken nose, the Eric Montross bloody face, the buzzer beaters, the legendary players, THIS IS WHAT THE PEOPLE NEED. Usually this rivalry is huge no matter what, there are times they are unranked and its still sold out ready to watch this game, but this one is what the fans have been waiting for. #7 ranked Duke will be traveling their 19 miles to Dean E. Smith Center to face off #3 North Carolina. Personally, I am expecting some fireworks from this game, a lot of key players that have been playing this rivalry for awhile and also a couple of rookies experiencing this rivalry for the first time. For North Carolina some of the key veteran players they got are R.J. Davis averaging 21.5 points a game and Armondo Bacot averaging 13.4 points and 10 rebounds a game. These guys have been at UNC for so long, that in their freshman year they had to wear masks and couldn't eat in restaurants. Duke has a much younger team with the stat leader and sophomore Kyle Filipowski with 17.5 points and 8.7 rebounds a game, and the tiktok king freshman Jared McCain with 12.5 points a game. Knowing both teams' top player are big men is great to watch, feels like the good old days when the big men were breaking backboards and not being able to dribble. So make sure you got your chores done and your drinks cold and ready. I know it's not March, but I am expecting MADNESS.

  We made it everyone! It is finally the best time of the year! The fall season! The crisp morning, the firepit evenings, the football season, the chili, ALL OF IT IS FINALLY HERE! I have been waiting for this since the "Holiday Season" ended and now all I can do is sit, smile, and enjoy the moments we have.  Here are the top 5 things about fall that everyone should be excited for... 5.) Weather The fall weather is better than anything else to experience. Crisp cool mornings and firepit evenings? What is better than that? Winter is always brutal with it being so cold shivering at any point when you are outside and summer do not even get me started... My AC is on full blast at home and in my car at all times, and when I go outside, it is like I am walking through lava. It is always a bad day to wear a t shirt with those sweat stains running down. But I do not have to worry about either those for the next couple of months. Hoodie in the morning on my walks, and hoodies as I sit...

Best Sequel Ideas for Disney Movies

Image
  Adults will be running to the living room couch to be eating Dunkaroos and a Lunchable waiting for the new movie to come up. This cast is incredible to see and will get people of all ages to watch. Kind of curious if they will have EVERYONE from the previous ones to come, but either way, it's the nostalgia that the older people will need to see, and the younger kids can start from the first Camp Rock and watch them all the way to the newest one coming up. This is a win/win scenario for viewers, and I cannot wait to see how it goes. Now if they are doing this... will they be doing this for new movies? Here are a top 5 Disney movies that I would absolutely love for them to make a reboot to be put on in the future.                                                                    ...

Detroit Lions - Believe or Dont!

Image
This is my first blog about the Detroit Lions for the year. It stung very hard with the Detroit Lions losing to the Washington Commanders home in the first round of the playoffs. To be a Lions fan, I have never been more confident in a football team. We kept winning primetime games and coming back when we were losing later in the game... the Detroit Lions never get to do that. So right when the confidence was at the highest it possibly could, it went crumbling down and the Lions fell off the playoffs early that year. But you know what... this is a knew year, and after week 1, I heard many people saying they do not believe in them this year, and with that I say... Stay on the ship or do not think about coming back.  The season was amazing last year, I agree, they did everything besides win the Superbowl. New year, same energy... so we thought. Week 1 in Green Bay is a scary one to start. Especially when they have just received Micah Parsons as a pass rushing threat to add on for the...
