carebear about the Bucs

This past Monday night my Panthers went to work. Deangelo Williams had an excellent running game, running for multiple touch downs. Delhome whom im not a big fan of had an alright game too, ill give it to him. We are now 10-3 and in first place in the NFC south. Hopefully we'll do big things this year, and make it to the superbowl....then win the superbowl. carebear.

carebear about illinios governor

The governor of Illinois was recently charged with conspiracy. He was planning to sell Barack Obama's senate seat to the highest bidder. He is a dirt bag. He made some explicit statements that have been played over and over on cnn. This is embarressing that a guy like this can have a job of such high quality. It also makes you wonder about the people who voted for him, but maybe he just put on a good show. All I know is that if he gets any jail time he should apply for house arrest or something of that nature because he will have a target on his back. carebear about that guy.

carebear about the bcs

College football has the worst system for determining bowl games. Every year its the same deal. Different coaches making different plea's for their team. When the national championship is announced there is always doubt and controversy. This has gone on for too long we need to devise a new system. Maybe a play off system, but this would require a few weeks, because football is not like basketball. You cant play 2 or 3 games in 1 or 1 and a half weeks. Something needs to be changed. carebear.

carebear about michigan...

Michigan pulled off the big upset this past week, by defeating my #4 Blue Devils. In the previous game Michigan was picked apart by Duke's offense, this game was different. Duke shot poorly, and Michigan capitalized. Duke has potential to be a great team this year, but we lack a go-to player that we use to have (Jason Williams, Elton brand, JJ Redick), and if we have an off night the results are negative. I wasn't expecting an un defeated team this year so this loss doesn't bother me all that much, I would just like for Duke to get another shot at them. Carebear.

carebear about turning 18

I turn 18 tommorrow and I don't carebear. Though I can now buy tobacco products, go to clubs, in-list, or register I don't exactly feel like anything is really changing. I am now legally considered an adult, though I still live with my parents. I think it will hit me when I move off to college more. I can now be charged as an adult for certain actions, so I have to really think out some of the decisions that I make a lot better than the way I have in the past. It feels like more weight is on my shoulders, and that tends to over take the new responsibilities that I have earned and makes them more meaningless to me. I disaggree with the 21 drinking age. Many other civilized countries have it at 18 I don't see why America can't. if they allowed on campus drinking at colleges that would for sure cut down the amount of drunk drivers on the road, so why not? If this law was changed 18 may mean more to me, but since its not i dont carebear.

Does anybody Carebear about the Big 10?

The ACC/Big 10 challenge has been going on for a while now. It was first organized in 1999. It was a little tournament that had match ups from both conferences, to see who would win more games. These two conferences are ussually the 2 top power house conferences in college baketball. In the 9 years that this tournament has existed the ACC has gone 9 and 0, sweeping the Big 10 in every year. This makes you really appreciate school's like Duke and Unc, because we have arguably the hardest conference in college basketball yet we are still dominant in our conference. I would also like to mention that in the 9 years this tournament has existed Duke has gone 9 and 0, so we have been doing are part. Duke is now 10 and 0, after beating a young and talented team in Purdue last night. Pending on the outcome of some of the games tonight, the ACC could possibly move to 10 and 0 in the history of the ACC Big 10 challenge. carebear about the big 10.

Carebear about the new NC highschool lacrosse rules?

In the state of NC, highschools have always used the NCAA college rules for lacrosse. For some reason they decided to create their own rules this year. The main rules are still the same, but they have just incorporated new sensless rules such as: a team has 1 time out each game that they can call whenever they want. Ussually you have to have possession of the ball in order to call a time out, but now you could be on a 1 on 1 fast break with the ball and the other team could just call a timeout. It kills the flow of the game, and in doing that it kills the game. Also we are not suppose to gather as a team and play as a team in preseason tournaments. This means though we will still be using the same players we have to establish a club team. Its just annoying to me, mainly because I don't see any of the points these rules are enforcing. Hopefully the creation of these new rules won't hurt my senior season. Carebear about these new rules...
