I said it could be done, and it was….

Well, SU did everything I said that was needed for a win…. need I say more?

GO ORANGE!

Biggest game of the year…

Basically every game so far for the Syracuse Orange men’s basketball team have been the biggest games of the year. But the game tomorrow against the Georgetown Hoyas, who seem to be unbeatable as of late, is a game that can really make or break us for the NCAA tournament. Georgetown has been playing extremely well, but I believe that we can still say that we are playing pretty well, coming off of a 4 game winning streak. Most will write our team off for this game, but we absolutely have the talent to win the game. If everyone plays to their potential, there is no doubt in my mind that we will win. Our problem has been inconsistency this year, but I am sure that many will agree with me that we have the talent to beat the best of them.

We’ve been blown out in the Dome this year by Notre Dame, but I honestly do not think we will be blown out tomorrow night. We seem to usually play to our competition and do not let games get out of hand too frequently. We just need to shut down guys like Roy Hibbert, which is obviously easier said then done, but it’s possible. One huge factor is rebounding, especially offensive rebounds, where we give ourselves a second chance to score. Since we shoot a lot of perimeter shots, our guards need to follow their shots and try to rebound offensively, so that we can control the game. Defense needs to be stellar, but I think that we will do that, as long as we don’t give up points to quickly. Our biggest challenge: DON’T GET INTO FOUL TROUBLE. We have done that the last few games, and it’s really killed us. We need to make sure that our big guys down low don’t get into foul trouble early, because if they do, we won’t win. I know these things are all obvious, but I think those really are what our weaknesses have been, and if we can overcome these issues, we should fare pretty well.

Well, I was just thinking of the game and figured it would be a good way to update the blog, so that’s about it.

LET’S GO ORANGE!

We need this win, hope we get it…

What is this world coming to?

Well, after hearing some news today, I can truly say that I have lost a lot of hope for the human race. I am witnessing the way that greed can take over the mind of one… enough that it can make one take the lives of the innocent. I am extremely sick to my stomach right now, and can’t get certain thoughts out of my head. I wish this never happened, but we cannot do anything about it now, and that’s what really might hurt the most.

I learned that a friend of the family was murdered over money yesterday. He was a great person and always treated my family extremely well. The person who murdered him, along with two other businessmen was an absolute coward. He killed for the sake of killing, and that truly leaves a sick feeling in my stomach. Then he went on and killed himself. I know there are many sick people out there, and I hear of these insane people on a daily basis. But when something like this happens to someone you know, it really hits home.

Why do the good die young? Why does it always have to be them? I have so many words running through my head that I shouldn’t post on here… they probably would make me seem like a maniac. Didn’t this gunman, who knew his victims, think about what he was doing? Didn’t he think that he would be taking the lives of these innocent human beings? Didn’t he think that he was leaving young children without fathers? Didn’t he think that he was leaving wives without husbands? Didn’t he think that he was leaving parents without sons? For one second, didn’t he stop and think about his probably worthless life and think that maybe he could turn things around? I am just so angry and sad right now… I cannot explain it. My family, who knew him much better than I did… didn’t this lunatic gunman think of all the friends of his victims, who are now missing a great person and friend?

I am beginning to truly lose faith in mankind. I always was one that wanted to trust people, and give them the benefit of the doubt if things looked ugly. At least the people I knew…

This event just shows that we can’t trust anyone. The gunman called a business meeting so that he could kill these businessmen. Someone they knew, calling a meeting, so that he can kill them. This really makes a person think… could something like this happen to me? And it really makes it hard to trust people, even those you might consider to be a friend…

At least these men are in a better place; a place where they don’t have to deal with any more of these problems. Their families and friends miss them though, and it’s going to take a long time for our community to get over this event. I wish it never happened, but as I said, what hurts the most is the fact that we can’t do anything about it.

The gunman is also hopefully where he belongs… rotting in Hell.

This is just another example as to what greed can do to a human. It’s one of the seven deadly sins… and this is a prime example. Don’t let it take you over, because you will hurt the lives of so many people.

RIP to the three victims, who I will remain nameless for the privacy of their families. God bless you all.
