Just Thinking

Many teams in football love to win the coin toss and kick off hoping by the end of the half they score and then receive the second half kickoff without the other team getting the ball and you might score 14 points

Basketball scoring at the end of the half and getting the ball first in  the second half really doesn't impact the game at all.

I think even Wolfpack basketball fans can see that this years basketball team is not very good.  I think one of the biggest problems the team is having is they still think they are good.  To me that is a bad combination when a team or person is in denial and will not accept reality.

When Smith is clicking you can see the other players standing around watching and when it is time to go play  defense after you have stood around on the offensive end they stand around on defense.

Division II baseball began their season this weekend. NC  Wesleyan baseball begins this Saturday and D1 baseball begins the 17th.

This area has Brian Goodwin playing for the Washington Nationals, Benton Moss in the minor league system of the Tampa Bay Rays. Collins Cuthrell who finished the baseball season last year in Kentucky trying to find a major league team is in graduate school at UNC Pembroke and on the baseball coaching staff joining Alex Pearce whom is coaching his second season.

Despite how much I hate New England Tom Brady  put on a show  the last 20 minutes of the Super Bowl.  His arm has to be about to fall off having tossed it 62 times.    Once again a pass play occurs that if the miracle catch doesn't happen  the Patriots never win.  The Edelman catch will become like the helmet catch as a play that will be shown millions of times in the future.

There is that old saying about experience and even though Matt Ryan won the MVP he made the bonehead play of the game when with about three minutes left in the game took a big time loss on a sack when the Falcon's were in field goal range to up their lead to 11.

Just think the missed extra point by New England after their first touchdown if it were made there would never have been overtime.
