NNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!
NCAA Football 2008 comes out on July 18, and I wanted to hone my video game playing skills by playing the 2007 version of the game. I was soon reminded that my X-box freezes up and tells me that my disc is unreadable, and that I need to clean the disc. Plus all unsaved info is lost. This has been a problem from the get go, and has been very frustrating for me. After losing two games to it freezing up (a game takes about an hour to play) I had had enough and called customer support. They said that I must send my console in to get it fixed. Its a wonderful thing, I will admit, they are sending me a box to ship it in and it won't cost me a thing. But it will be gone for 21 days, from the day I send it in. We are looking at the first week in August before it comes back. I will miss the premier of NCAA College Football 2008, a game that I have been counting the days until its release. Patience is taught in such terrible circumstances.

Greatest Sports Moments
I wanted to do a blog about the greatest things that I had ever seen, period. Not just in sports, but I soon realized that if I did that they would all be sports anyways. These are not necessarily the greatest sports moments just the greatest ones I have seen, and I am sure that somepeople will disagree with me, but its all relative anyways.
These are in no particular order I suppose.
Watch the linebackers they bring six guys and still can't get to him.
I like the plays that are less about luck, but more of fate, maybe. It just seemed that USC was destined to win.
This one probably didn't make it without Guy Morriss getting the gatorade shower.
I believe Bryant Reeves won an espy for this play. I know it was nominated for one.
Jet, Rocket, Victory, what else can you say. This play made Kordell Stewart a lot of money, because he was never good enough to play quaterback in the NFL.
Greatest play in College basketball history.
Aaahh this one was wild. At the start of the fourth quarter I didn't think there was any way OU would get back in the game. It was just a wild game. Editors side note, Gerad Zabranski is on the cover of NCAA Football 2008, so this play made him a bunch of money. Side note to editors side note, NCAA Football 2008 comes out On July 17th.
I remember when they brought Dennis Eckersly out of the bullpen, and Vin Scully called him Dennis the Menace, and said that he hadn't given up a home run in 54 innings. It was foreshadowing that Hollywood couldn't have wrote.
I hate "Sooner Magic".
Where's your "Sooner Magic", now? This happened the same day my son was born. I like telling people that.
I did not like where this blog took me. I had moments in mind such as when the Boston Red Sox lost game 3 of the 2004 ALCS, they lost it like 18 to 7 or something like that. They just got crushed, and in my mind the series was over. After such a demoralizing loss, they were done, in my opinion. I actually considered e-mailing a letter to the Boston Globe entitle, "Why Do We Believe Anymore". I am glad I didn't. Then game 4 got rained out. The next night at the game I remember Boston fans having signs that said, "I can't believe I fell for it again." They went to the bottom of the ninth down a run, and I don't remember who got on and they sent in Dave Roberts to pinch run and he stole second. Anyways I am trying convey the hole both mentally and really they were in. Even when they won game 4 I still thought it was over in game 5. When 25 guys believe there ain't nothing that can't be done.
There is video somewhere of an autistic boy that was a water boy for a high school basketball team. On the last home game they let him suit up, with about 2 minutes left the team was way ahead so they put him in on mop up duty, and he went on to hit 6 three pointers and score 20 points. The video is incredible the crowd is so raucus with every three pointer he hits, the gym can hardly contain them. When the game is over they flood court. I counldn't find this video. And FOX and MLB is hording the Red Sox footage. Also missing is Tyus Edny's buzzer beater vs. Mizzou, en route to UCLA national title. As well as a fan shoots and makes a three/quarter court shot for a million dollars, during halftime of Bulls game. 60 minutes did story over it. It was pretty incredible, I can't find it either. I had another thing in mind when I started this and I am disapointed in the result.
