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!

PLANS PLANS PLANS

So I had to go watch a movie in lumina tonight for spanish class. The name of it was "Walk Out." I have to admit that it really wasn't my cup of tea but I guess at least I didn't have to pay for it. Now all I have to do is write a few sentences about it in spanish....blahh. On another note I'm going back to the con-city(Concord) tomorrow. I look forward to seeing my buddies. Hopefully if it's not raining we can go play a little golf this weekend. As far as the next paper goes, I think it'll be easier to write than the last one. It was just hard to write a descriptive paper to me. Or maybe it was the place that I chose that made it so hard to write......I don't know.

Besides all this school nonsense, it's about time for a little march madness baby. It's been crazy the past few weeks in college basketball with some of the top teams losing. Hopefully Carolina can make a run at the championship this year. I just hope they don't go out again like they did last year. I was very dissappointed.


Lets take a pole shall we....

What 4 teams will make it to the final 4 this year??

I say Carolina, UConn, Memphis, and yes if they make it in the brackett, Maryland. It all depends on how the bracketts are drawn up though.....I guess we will see.

television or magazine ad

For my next paper I decided to pick tv vs. a magazine ad. Both have to do with new movie previews. I think choosing this will make it easier for me to write. When talking about movie previews, there is no doubt about which one is more affective and why. I know through both of these you can get the main points of the movie such as the name of it, who plays in it, and the release date. As we all know, these are the main points of the movie but they aren't the determining factors of whether we are going to take time to see the movie. We want to see the good stuff. The things that catch our attention.

Obviously we can't see the good stuff through a picture in a magazine or on the internet. Sure there is that one picture which might be semi-exciting but it's nothing compared to the movie preview that you get to watch on tv. When you watch the one on tv, usually it catches your attention and you can make a more in depth evalutation of the movie and whether it is going to be good or not. Well if this is an acceptable topic for my paper, I don't want to go on and on about it in this blog. I'll save it for my paper.

television

So we have to do a blog while watching television. I just got done eating my wag. supper which wasn't to good. I tried to put pineapple in the same box as my sandwich and all the juice from the pineapple soaked into my bread. Currently it is about 7:45 pm and I am watching the Duke vs. St. John's basketball game. Hopefully Duke can keep there losing streak rolling on tonight. That would make my night. As of right now it looks like it could go either way, but Duke has a little bit of an edge with a 10 point lead. I guess I will just copy Bretts style of "television" blogging and just update it from time to time.


7:50

Bob Knight should have stuck to coaching(or maybe not). He doesn't make for a very good commentator. He just doesn't make it exciting like Dicky V. does, even though I hate his voice. I must admit that Duke has some of the goofiest looking players in college basketball. Kyle singler looks like he's related to E.T. and Scheyer looks like he is 12. Can't forget about Paulus who looks like a mouse. He kind of looks like his coach. Other than how the Duke players look it is half time and Duke is on top 37-26.

8:05

Charlotte is up on Xavier at halftime??? Speaking of Dicky V., he's on a hooters commercial now.


8:15

I hate the East Coast Credit Union commercial. Start of the 2nd half.....lets go St. John's


8:25

Maybe if John Scheyer would lift some weights he wouldn't fall down every time he gets touched. I haven't seen Duke's big man(Zoubek) in tonight.....maybe he's injured. Oh well he sucks anyways. St. John's is starting to lose it 50-34.


8:35

Not sure if the new movie "Knowing" with Nicholas Cage looks good or not. A commercial for Street Fighter 4?? I remember playing that game on Sega Genesis. Uuuhhhh why do they take another commercial break when they just had one?? A commercial for nextel......maybe the should work on their shitty service before they do advertising. Yes I have a nextel and I hate it.


8:45

St. John's is playing pretty good defense........NOTT. How dare Knight put Singler in the same category as Hansbrough. I just don't see them being comparable. Zoubek is in now and made a good foul....for an and one. 7:43 left in the game and Duke is up by 12......damnit.


8:55

Charlotte is up by 3 with about 3 minutes left! Well I think Duke has this game put away but I'm going to watch the rest of it anyways. I just watched the 20th missed lay-up tonight. 21st missed lay-up


9:00

So St. John's has had their chances tonight but didn't take advantage of them. So now for the last 1:30 they go to the default stategy that hardly ever works......fouling. Maybe I spoke too soon because they just got a steal and a basket so now they are down by 8.


9:05

15 seconds left Duke is up by 7 and foul shots are coming for St. John's. 74-69!!



Well duke won 76-69. It was a rather boring game but St. Johns made a little run at the end. Now Indiana and Wisconsin are playing so I'm probably going to do my spanish homework now.
