Thursday, January 12

6:17 a.m.  - Tough to officiate - that's what the games were last night.  None of the four teams played well; the number of spectators was low; and the officiating just can't help.  So when frustration abounds and there are very few spectators, the really stupid comments from fans and coaches are just magnified.  The best part of the night was that the Athletic Director kept the hospitality room open for us after the game - a taco pasta bake, sandwiches, and cookies.  At least the end of the evening was nice.  We then packed up, dropped off Marcus, got some gas in the HHR, dropped of Shawn, and then it was the blanket show.  And now....today...let's do it all over again.  Is it Groundhog Day? :)
