DUB-TOWN

This week has been pretty cool. No more freshman seminar.....wahhoo! Also got one test out of the way and figured out that a big project in spanish is optional. My one o'clock class was cancelled today. I have a couple of friends that are coming down for the weekend. Not sure what the hell we are going to do, but we'll find a way to make our time interesting. It would be better if I didn't have a test monday but oh well. Of course we are watching Carolina win tonight! Even though my bracket is screwed up already, I still enjoy watching the games. I don't think they will have much trouble with Gonzaga. Ty Lawson should be pretty healthy by now. Besides the b-ball games, I'm going to look at some houses for next year. Me, my brother, and my buddy that's down here this weekend are going to live together next year. Well I don't have much more to talk about so I'm going to get started on what should be a great weekend.

Question of the Day:

Now that the tournament has been played out a little bit, who will win the whole tournament?

ME : UNC OF COURSE

Why we shouldn't have a football team

I've heard a rumor since I've been here and even before I started attending UNCW. This rumor is the reason UNCW doen't have a football team is because a large contributor to the program wouldn't really like for the university to get one. In simpler terms, someone that is donating lots of money to the university wouldn't apprciate it very much if we started a football program. If this is true, then I'd say it would be of our best interest to keep this school without a football team. More times than none if we were to get a football team, I'd say that the large contributor to the university would be very upset and stop donating money to the university. Why would we want to bring this something like this upon ourselves.

Another reason we shouldn't get a football team is because of our location. What I hear from people when they talk about UNCW, is how nice it is. Most people come to attend Wilmington because it is located at the beach. Not so much because we have a good atheletics program or anything. With this said, if we were to get a football team, I'm not sure how good they would be. We would probably have trouble with recruiting.

My last reason we shouldn't get a football team is because of what it might bring. I'm not trying to be stereo typical but in today's world, it seems more and more football players are thugs. Marcus Vick and Plaxico Burress are prime examples of this. I mean look at Miami's football program for the past 5 years and all the events that have happened dealing with football players. I'm not saying that it happens often but why even take the risk.

once again.....BORRREEEDDD

I feel like I had so much homework today but I know it wasn't that much. I still need to work on my paper. After having my conference this morning I discovered that I need to do a lot of work on my paper. It didn't suprise me though; I was kind of expecting that considering I typed up my paper while watching the acc tournament last week. So not only did my team lose, but watching my team lose caused me to write a pretty shitty paper. What an excellent way to spend a Saturday afternoon.

I really don't have anything important to say just a bunch of random thoughts. So if you are expecting to hear something cool you can stop reading. Other wise you can continue and see how boring my life it (at least right now). I was just sitting around bored so I figured why not blog. I volunteered myselft to go pick someone up tonight from down town. I really don't want to do it now but oh well. It's not like I'm doing anything better. I have a question for everyone and if you have a legit answer please leave me a comment answering. Why are we required to have a foreign language? I absolutely hate spanish. I tried to do my homework tonight and it was just a good reminder of why I don't like it. I have a good teacher and everything but it's still just so hard to understand. Sorry but I'm never going to use this shit. Even if I do speak spanish in the future, it'll just be in a joking manner. It's not like I'm choosing a career path that requires me to have a foreign language.

I'm still not over the fact that I have fresman seminar while UNC plays tomorrow. I have to present a project with my group. We are the last ones to go for the day (near the starting time for the game), so I think we just might have to wrap up the presentation early. I guess I'll start working on my paper now. It would probably be best anyways.

BOORREEDDD

So I guess I'll start by saying that spring break was way too short. It was everything I expected(which was a bunch of nothing), considering I didn't have any type of vacation planned. It was nice to see all of my friends back at home though. I wasn't very happy with the way the acc tournament played out though. Of course being a Carolina fan, I despise that Duke won. I knew Carolina wouldn't be that good with out their starting point gaurd, Ty Lawson. Then again it didn't help at all that Danny Green played his worst games during the tournament. Also, we'll give Duke the acc tournament, I want to win the big one. I'll be highly disappointed if Carolina doesn't win. I'll be even more disappointed if they get knocked out like they did last year with a horrible performance against Kansas. I'm am stoked that "march madness" is finally beginning. It sucks that we have to go to class instead of being able to watch the game. I say they just cancel classes so everyone can enjoy a little basketball. Of course the Carolina game is going to start on Thursday when I'm in my least favorite class. I might just have to skip hah. I filled out my brackett and some how have Duke in the final four against Carolina. If that were to happen, well, that would be freaking awesome.


With all of that said I must ask.......Who do you think will win it all this year?? Hopefully more people will respond to this than the last final four question I asked! My take.....HEELS BABY!
