Rock Chalk Jayhawk KU

I'm not a Kansas fan however i'm an Illinois fan who loves it when mizzou fans are tortured and what could be more torturing than watching your biggest rival win the national championship.
Although i didn't watch most of the game since i was at work. but from the highlights i saw memphis choked. I mean it doesn't surprise me that Memphis blew a 9 poiint lead latethe way they shoot free throws as a team but john Calapari you screwed up, not nly did you not foul the kansas guy before he could get up a three pointer to tie you allowed your team to practice this streetball shit that only flies on ESPN 2 at 2:30 in the fucking morning insteadof praticing that streetball shit why don't you practice freethrow shooting when you are tired its one thing to practice it at the begining of practice its another to shoot them at the end of a practice when your team is tired this is the best way to simulate shooting freethrows to put a game a way untill that improves and they leave CUSA (another story for another time) Memphis will NOT win a national title Cngratulations to bill self and the Kansas Jayhawks on winning the nation title (as much as i hate it being an Illini fan) This year Kansas was the lesser of the two evils to me and the better team

Not a sports post but something that pisses me off

has this world gone totally mad. It's happened gas has gone up to 3.50 a gallon I am sick of the oil companies forcing us to pay these ridiculous prices for a gallon of gas so they can line their pockets with another billion dollars. paying for gas isn't easy when you are working a job for minimum wage . I don't think the oil companies realize that making their gas prices go up they make the prices on every retail good increase as well. I work at Shop N Save and I've noticed that prices on a lot of items have tripled since i started there in June of 06 for the most part because they have to line their pockets with another billion dollars you've made it impossible for Americans to live on anything less than 20 dollars an hour. Gas prices make the world go round so when they sky rocket the cost of everything skyrockets and peoples salary just can't keep up THE OIL COMPANY MAKES ME SICK

playing the blues

This was supposed to be the year the blues made it over the hump. Their young talent was starting to develop and they tried to add some veterans to the mix to make this year the one they finally moved back into contention to make the playoffs.
Even though the season started well this team collapsed under the pressure of a playoff race. Maybe this will make them stronger for next season. but the swoon late this year is not all their fault. I think the NHL was unfair to them by giving them a 9 game road trip in the middle of the strech run. i wish they could have gave them some of those road games when they had weeks early in the season with just 1 or 0 games. but the main problem i saw from the blues over this last strech of games was that they over used Legace in the months of January through march. goalies of that age are not supposed to play that many games in a row. Also majorly unacheiving was Paul Karyia who was brought in to add scoring to the Blues and he barely got 10 goals if even that many this teams 2nd half was a complete disaster as they will finish worse then they did last year with a better cast of characters.
