Clips, Kats, and Hard Knocks

This regular blogging thing is a little more difficult than I thought. It's not easy having something pertinent to discuss every day or so.

Raider softball started with a thud, but against an Evansville team that not only had homefield advantage, but had a 3-1 record going in. The Blue Ladies of ol' STC came home with a hard-luck 9-1 loss, but played tough.

I stand corrected on the Mercer game Friday; it's not at home, it's at a neutral site, as they're playing in the Auburn Tournament.

Team USA women's hockey cranked it up for a big 7-3 win come-from behind style against Finland. The US Men's team starts things off in a few hours (hopefully), assuming everyone made it over last night after the blizzard delayed all but two Americans from making the earlier trek of two. Hockey? Whoo!

I'm still quite miffed over the Kats' loss on Sunday...an end-around pitch after a pass play gets overtime, the Kats score, but Chicago answers and goes for two...successfully. Bravo, well-done, and way to show a set...but I can't stand the Chicago Rush, so I'm quite displeased overall.

The LA Clippers made a move and picked up Vlad Radmanovich. Considering the season the Clippies are having, this could spell even more great news for LA's "other" team. However, on that same note, the Clipps got ripped last night...128-97, by the Rockets. T-Mac puts up 28, and 5 other Houston red-shirts score in double digits. Yeah, Vlad's coming in at the right time, methinks.

That's all for now...off to Marketing. However, don't miss my next column where I offer up opinions on this year's crop of All-Star Jerseys!!! Oh boy...this ought to be fun.

+AH, out.
