500 words

I was hoping to start a trend where I would compose at least 500 words a day in the attempt to stay sharp as well as maybe stumble upon something that I could use to expand into something more in depth. Tonight, I am probably not going to hit t...

Jays vs. Nevada - second half

2007-03-16T20:20:21Z

Teams are out warming up ... three minutes until tip. CU ball to start. Jays up 4 with 15 minutes left. Funk missed a layup, about the only way his seems to be able to miss, but Watts followed with a tough put back. Watts still is off with his s...

North Texas takes the early lead ... Memphis 37-28 at the half

2007-03-16T16:39:11Z

NEW ORLEANS - I'm sitting courtside in a half-full (at best) New Orleans Arena for the North Texas-Memphis team. The UNT crowd is into this game and is at least equal to the Memphis crowd. The Mean Green are defintely quite mighty. Memphis has str...
