Last Shining Moment?

 

Congrats to Long Beach State who beat UC Davis in their conference championship to gain a March Madness bid. They must be feeling amazing right now, and the coach should be getting high honors to win this tournament, right? WRONG! The coach actually got fired before the tournament started, but was given the opportunity to coach until the season ended. Well the season has not ended yet, and will be informed at the end of the day on Selection Sunday to who they will be playing.

In Long Beach States defense... The team was 18-14 and lost the last 5 games of the season before the conference tournament happened. Dan Monson has been coaching at Long Beach State since 2007 with the overall record at the school of 275-272, which is not too amazing of an overall record. His best season was in 2011 season where they went 25-9 with a regular season championship, conference championship, and a NCAA tournament bid. Since then, there has been nothing. 

Now with Dan Monson has nothing to lose... they beat UC Riverside, UC Irvine, and UC Davis to go through and win the Big West Championships. I am really hoping that they get a first round upset and become a fan favorite. I do not know what the school could do if they make a run in the tournament, but no matter what... This team will be a fan favorite for the upcoming days until the tournament starts.

Dawg in Him

 Every year in basketball, there is a player that talks the talk and is able to walk the walk. There's players like JJ Reddick, Jalen Rose, Grayson Allen, and is the new one now Cam Spencer? Uconn's starting shooting guard is a 5th year senior that has been to 3 different schools and this year is now getting the spotlight of college basketball. Cam Spencer starting his college basketball career at Loyola Maryland, where he played for 3 years where he averaged 10 Freshman year, 10 Sophomore year, and 19 Junior year. After his successful junior year, he transferred to Rutgers for his Senior year averaging 13 points a game as the team went 19-15 and now has transferred for his 5th year going to the reigning national champions Uconn Huskies. I never watched him play until this year, but quickly has caught fans attentions as he has been making multiple clutch shots during the season and has been talking trash along the way. The first time I found out he is not someone to mess with i

Love Is Blind 3 New Episode Reactions

Image
 I think it is very smart for Love Is Blind to bring out the episodes 3 at a time because now I have to wait and wonder what is going to happen for the next episodes when they come out. It is making me crave this television show even more. It is like people having the extra urge to have Chic Fil A on Sunday... just because you cannot have it makes you want it more. With these 3 episodes, some couples already completely ended, some have had some ROCKY moments, and some are absolutely thriving. I was completely wrong about this couple. I thought because they both were such caring and kind people that they would match and just be in love forever, and that did not happen. They were on vacation with the best view and best things to talk about and it was completely awkward on that boat ride for about 25-30 minutes... thank goodness a dolphin came up for one of them to say anything at all. She was angry he was not showing her love, and he seemed like he was done with his vacation vibe and wen

Casino First Timer

 As I sit here, watching sports, wishing I was making some +10000 parlay and make it big and retire at a young age, I think about the first time I went to the casino. I went to a glorious casino in Connecticut called Foxwoods where I walk in being the big spender I am... I brought $300 for a 2 night event. There's 2 ways it could go leaving the casino after the trip; either walking out with so much money in my wallet that I couldn't close it, or, drive home hoping I have enough gas to make it home hoping I have enough food in the fridge for the week. But that first night, oh that first night was a MOVIE! And when I mean movie, I mean going from 300 to 450 so making a remarkable 150 that night. I walk into the place and I was looking like Charlie and the Chocolate Factory just being in awe of everything and trying to soak it in. The bright lights, the cheers, the smell if cigarettes, feels like I was Daniel Jones in the great Metlife Stadium. I was hitting in all ends that night
