One Hell of a week...

Sorry guys for the absence, I've been stressing out over school, test, projects, etc. I'll never take 5 classes again in a semester.

Yesterday Oakland hosted their biggest rival at the moment of Oral Roberts. Oakland had lost it previous two games out in the Dakota's road trip. They could of gone 2-0, for sure 1-1 but they blew the game against South Dakota State. It was huge to see my boys come out with a 81-69 victory over 2nd place Oral Roberts. This shows that Oakland is still alive, and they still have a lot to play for. Hopefully our team will start to click now, since the conference tournament is right down the road. Johnathon Jones might of played his best game ever as a golden grizzlies. He had 17 points, 13 assist and only 2 turnovers. Jones now lead the NCAA in total assist with 171. Kangas, was well Kangas, hitting 5 three's and leading the team with 21 points.

However, the main reason we won the game is due to our bench. The bench came alive tonight thanks to Blake Cushingberry and Dan "the Man" Waterstradt. Blake hit two clutch back to back three's late in the 2nd half when the game was still not decided. This is a huge confidence booster for Blake who has been struggling all year with his shot.

I have been very critical of Dan all year, in fact his whole Oakland career, but I have to give him is due today. He played great all around basketball last night. Hit a couple of three's, played tough hard nose defense, and came up with a couple of big blocks. He was a huge spark for the team last night off the bench. He might of played his best game ever. I really hope Dan can keep this up. If Dan can, we will be a very dangerous team come down the stretch.

Tomorrow Oakland Host Centenery College. This will be Oakland's first ever homecoming event. The game is at 6 PM. Hope you guys will be able to attend. ITS PAY BACK TIME!!

Quick thoughts

Pistons really need to get it together, REAL SOON. If they don't they will be risking a chance of missing the post-season. I don't think they will miss the post season, but with the way the Pistons are playing, I would not be surprised.

Is there a chance the Tigers will land Manny Ramirez? I've heard a couple times that Manny was actually in Detroit meeting with the Tigers. I do not know if this is true or not, but I would love to see Manny in Detroit. The guy can flat out hit. Bring him in, cut ties with Sheffield, that way Carlos Guillen can DH instead of playing out in left. I know Manny is a bad outfielder, but he is better than people think, he has a great arm and is very, very accurate. He would be better than Carlos Guillen.
