Let me tell you what…

…if my life depended on somebody scoring a goal off a free kick, I would want Shunsuke Nakamura taking that kick. Seeing him line up off the ball in a tie game with 5 minutes left is like watching Mariano Rivera come into the game in the late 90s – game over, get your keys, good night and drive home safely.

Between Celtic, Vanderbilt and the crazy last-minute heroics of the Golden State Warriors, I’m experiencing a strange phenomenon with my sports lately: the absence of learned hopelessness. Now that’s fun. Don’t think for a minute I’m not gonna milk this UT win for a while…although seriously, it’s not that much of an upset. How many times in recent years does a team reach #1 and lose their very next game? And hadn’t the last three #1s to enter Memorial Gym come out with a loss? Well now it’s four. I’m ordering the T-shirt and the DVD as soon as they’re advertised, don’t think I’m not.

The funniest thing was that I started off on Maker’s Mark and we ran out to a 14 point lead. I switched to Guinness…and we lost our lead. So I naturally had only one option. What am I supposed to do? I’m Scotch-Irish from Alabama, of course I’m superstitious. And I did my duty…my tasty nummy Kentucky-aged bottled-in-bond duty. Probably a little much for a school night, but as always…totally worth it.

One more LOL-odore… =)
