The college player debate

November 8, 2008 - 11:14 pm - Posted by Sherri R

Remember the last great Ohio State running back?Maurice Clarrette, is now serving time after being caught with a car load full of guns. A highly touted recruit, who totally lost his sense of direction is now just a bookmark. There are rumors of 4 players from this years Ohio State team looking to turn pro. Most young college see the alure of the money and playing in the NFL, but never realize all that comes with this next level of play. I went to WSU and we had Ryan Leaf, drafted in the first round, left college early. And it was a total disaster. He was a great college player but with all the distractions, was not able to stay focused on his game and is now no longer in the league.

These young players, while they are being told that they could be picked as high as the first round, should look to the future and what happens if the only play one or two seasons, they will not have finished college and have no degree to fall back on. Very few can leave early and make a successful career in the NFL. But most will not. Go Buckeyes in your quest for a National Championship. Only because I cannot stand Florida.

When will the Cubs win the world series?

October 15, 2008 - 11:14 pm - Posted by Sherri R

The Cubbies play in the Cactus league during their spring training and to get Chicago Cubs Spring Training Tickets it is now very easy to do online. They hold their spring training down in Arizona which is always great weather for watching baseball, and we usually get a chance to meet some of the star players as they are more willing to sign autographs and talk with the fans. They have been playing and training at HoHoKam park in Mesa, AZ which provides a great facility for sports fans to view and interact with the Cubbies.

I just hope that this year we can continue the success and get off to a fast start. Coach Lou Pinella was brought in to make some changes, and get the team winning. He was able to take a and build a great Seattle team in the mid 1990’s and the hope that he still has some of that magic. If Kerry Woods stays healthy, and their bullpen can provide some relief the Cubs can push some of the top teams in the league.

Playing Billiards

If you are someone that likes to play billiards every now and then, your probably going to need a good pool stick. Sometimes the best stick you can get, is by not really getting a stick. At least making your opponent feel like you are using the house stick. If you buy some of those sticks that are out there now, you can quickly determine that a player has brought their own stick to the pool hall. However, you can buy a stick that has that house-look to it and it plays like a nice stick. It’s some of the Sneaky Pete Pool Cues that you can now buy. Some of these sticks are really nice, but you can’t tell by looking at them. They are designed to look like your average house stick, but they play much better than a house stick. These Sneaky Pete sticks is a good thing to whip out at your favorite pool hall. Most players will shy away from the people that have a nice stick, but when they see your Sneaky Pete (and think it’s just a house stick) they won’t fear you a bit. That’s when you can get them on the table and start knocking down a few shots for them to see. They won’t know what to think, about a player that shoots as good as you and you are only using a house stick.

Check out some of these sticks the next time you’re looking for one. If you get the chance to play with one, you will love them as good as any other stick you could buy on the market today. I highly recommend looking at these Sneaky Pete pool cues, if you’re looking to buy a new stick. Be sure to let me know how you like the Sneaky Pete sticks and if you think they are as good as the fancy looking pool cues.
