Anything and everything

On a request to update this I decided it actually does need to be updated

So a run down
First of all SDSU's basketball teams have opened up the seaon.
The women are 2 and 0 winning 2 close games against teams that made the post season last year. The team seems to be hampered by foot injuries the question was asked is it because of the shoe maker?

My response to that is I have never disliked a shoe company all shoes are good shoes but all feet are different some kids like a little bit heavier shoe with more support some like the lightest one possible and don't care about support so I personally don't like team shoes though they do look cool.

The Men's team won a game against Mary last night... The question is why do they look flat as can be? My answer its a monday its a holiday some don't like that but its true if you ask basketball players and AD's for that matter I would bet they say they would prefer to avoid monday games. The team however did show some bright spots Callahan showed some signs that he is fully healthy, Cordova showed that he is a D-I talent, Beran played good, the guards played alright though they have a lot more potential then that. I look for this team to remind me of North Carolina 2 years ago a team that can go out and beat anybody(to a certain point) any night and could loose to a NAIA team the following night.

The mens team will sign 2 tommaro.
James Rader from colorado I will try to talk to a basketball player from Colorado to see how good he really is.
the other will be a JuCo from everything I have heard I believe (educated guess) that it will be Anthony Davis a guy from Iowa who commited to UNI out of hs but apparently got into a little trouble and ended up playing JuCo ball in Southwest Iowa I beleive. Hes 6-8 and seems to be doing alright there.

The women will sign 3
Vennesa Johnson from West Central i talked to my buddy from West Central and he said that she is a work horse a gym rat not the most athletic player but a smart one hasn't had the best coaching and thinks that college coaching could make her a really good college player. that goes contray to my other friend from my high school that played against her and she said that she was selling herself short going to sdsu... both comments make it sound like SDSU got a winner in her though
Caila Westergard from Charles City was a high recruit Big 10 Big 12 until a knee injury seems to be fully healthy now and is viewed as a steel by many high school coaches
Jennifer Sunnarborg Osseo MN, shes a 6-1 post that averaged just under 10 points as a junior.

Skyforce and Dleague
The Skyforce are now under coach Nate Tibbits seem to have a daunting task, this year they will have to do it with out the Pistons sending down Amir Johnson, and most likely the force won't see too many assignees as the 2 parents teams are both very young (charlette, minnesota) other teams this year seem to be utilizing it to greatness as the Warriors plan on sending 2 down, the Spurs plan on sending 2 guys down, Utah has sent 1 and plans on sending another, the Rockets, Bucks and Celtics have all sent down a guy already.... Looks like the use of it is becoming used.

Rapid City and hockey franchise
I still think in the long run that bringing the CHL compared to the USHL was a mistake but apparently they have sold a ton of season tickets... i don't know if that is true but I hope it is. I also hope the dleague decides to put a franchise there also.

Other tidbits... my knees hurt they have hurt and swelled up since it got cold on Friday does that mean I am getting old?

I hope more then just 1 or 2 people read this by the way...
Some websites I like
www.oursportscentral.com/boards website has news updates on minor league sports and the boards have all sorts of minor league sports I highly recomend
www.hoopshype.com any basketball rumor from any paper it organizes them and everything... also on the top has a salary part it shows each teams salary and how long there contracts exist
