Wow, my apologies for letting this blog fall by the wayside
for as long as it has. Pachla, you’ve
been requesting an update so while I watch the Lions dismantle the Jags, here
goes nothing.
The NBA is underway and the Pistons are winless. My only hope for them this year is they play
Drummond, Singler and English early and often.
See what you have in your youth.
The combo of Greg “The Moose” Monroe and Brandon Knight are the
future. Gone are the days of exceptional
defense from Tayshaun Prince and whatever anyone thought Stuckey would bring to
the table. Anyone else on the roster not
in their first or second year is just adding to the dumpster fire the Pistons team
is. The playoffs are a (slim) possibility.
I’ve told enough of my friends (@ddiggy209, @chaps07 and Pachla) that I do
believe they sneak in as a 7-8 seed.
Lions have crawled back to .500 with a win against the lowly
Jags. A trap game? Yes. A game that was
a must win? Definitely. They’ll need some help the rest of the way if
the Leo’s want to make it back to the playoffs this year. I still think they’ll fall well short of the
season expectations. Their drafting has
been shotty the past couple of years and they don’t have a real dependable
defense. But a win is a win and getting
back to .500 is impressive as they head into the meat of their schedule.
Now normally I don’t comment on my Alma Mater but since I do
reside in the 989, let me comment on the Mighty Chips of Mt. Pleasant. The chips dropped another rivalry game
against Western yesterday. They
squandered a 9 point lead to lose 42-31 in a game they fumbled away. Now I’m not a coach or claim to be but I tell
ya, the play calling for the Chippewas is an embarrassment. Enos hasn’t worked out as the successor for
Butch Jones and the steep drop off from the LeFevour era has really crippled
this program. I don’t believe it’ll be
another 3-9 year, mainly because 2 of our last 3 games are against team with a
combined total of 1 win. Sure, there may
be some improvement record wise, but it’s not the Chippewa football I or my
friends from CMU are used to seeing.
A bit of a housekeeping note, I forgot/lost my account info for @sportsinthe313 so please check out @ajcoopdeville for the latest and greatest. Until then, Cooper out.
That picture makes Gregg-G blush.
