Well folks, the vote is in. Thank you to everyone who participated. The slogan winner for the 2014 BVU Men’s Basketball Poster is……….. Yeah, right. I’m not telling. Guess you’ll just have to find one when they come out. My opinion, you won’t be disappointed.
Gotta give the tennis squad some love for their efforts in the conference tournament last weekend. Buzzard with the 2nd place finish, whaddddd upppppp? They’re not technically in season, yet they still hold a conference tournament. Wait, so does that mean their offseason is their season? Then what is their in-season, season? Please, just give me a reason. What if the basketball teams just got together mid-summer, practiced for like 3 weeks and then battled in a conference tournament; a conference tournament that doesn’t actually count for anything, but you still try really hard. This makes no sense to me. Anyway, the moral is the story is never become friends with a tennis player.
Since I couldn’t think of anything to write about this week, I think I’ll post my replies to some emails I received from some faithful readers…..
Derek S: Heyyyy G Man, what’s your prediction on the score for this weekend’s game?
GG: Waldorf College 19, Beavers 23. I think the Beavers enter the field this week knowing they are the better team. After watching a lot of film (and when I saw a lot, I mean a lot) on the Waldorf defense, they have trouble with slant routs and the flea flicker. I expect the Beaver coaching staff to exploit these weaknesses by running each play at least 6-8 times.
James S: HOW BOUT THEM HAWKS???!!!!!!! CJ BETHARD IS MY NEW BOYYYYYYYY!
GG: We lose at Purdue, I’m quitting. And yes, I’m on the team.
Brandon W: Hey brea, how come you haven’t mentioned the baseball team yet? I think we’ll be as good or even better than last year.
GG: Brea, unlike tennis, baseball isn’t in season when their offseason. Where do you get off?
Owen S: Bruh, I’m super stoked about my boy Eric Bledsoe signing with the T-Wolves. They gave the dude a max contract, bruh. He’s probably like a top 5 player in the league. They flat out stole him from the Suns, bruh. Right bruh?
GG: 1. Such a T-Wolves move.
2. Such a T-Wolves move that didn’t pay off. (News flash, he signed back with the Suns).
3. I’m not sure Eric Bledsoe is the best point guard currently on the Suns roster.
4. Bruhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
Deb K: Do the Raiders have a chance to make the Super Bowl this year?
GG: I think there’s a better chance of me entering an all-Raiders store in my lifetime. Ohhhh waitttttt….
Paul G: How are your fantasy football squads grindin’ this year, actual brother?
GG: League 1: 2 wins, 1 loss
League 2: 2 wins, 1 loss
League 3: 2 wins, 1 loss
League 4: 2 wins, 1 loss
After solid starts, I’m almost sure to unwind now. It was fun while it lasted. Luckily I’m a college athlete so I can’t play for money.
Paul G: But G, you just paid m……
GG: Next question?
Kyle Darrow: (Picture 6 year old whining. Female.) Grady, the fantasy football commishner (6 year old girls can’t pronounce words correctly, mind you) in my wleague was wreeeelly mean and put me in da same di-division as the best playwers. I’m sad.
GG: Well sweetie, a fantasy commissioner, with great hair, once told me, “To be the best, you’ve got to beat the best.”
Alex S: Thanks for putting me in your blog last week, bud. Just thought I’d email you to show my appreciation. Have a swell day.
GG: #Gains
Joe F: I’m diggin’ the chin music you got goin’ man. It reminds me of a guitar playing in a Red Hot Chili Peppers’ song.
GG: Thanks!
One more quick shout out to the random girl that came up to me and gave me her honest opinion on which basketball poster we should do. I literally have no idea who you are, but I respect you! And if my awkwardness/bewilderment didn’t keep you from reading this week’s blog, we should hang out sometime!
Until next Thursday, thanks for reading!
