Surfs up brah

I've watched a bit of the Maui Invitational today and all I can do, besides root against UCONN, is think about how I'll be there next year. I don't know who is coming with me, but I'm going. I mean I can't think of one legitimate reason to miss the 2011 Maui Invitational. A school is only eligible to go every 4 years yet the last time Georgetown went over there was in 1999. I'd rather not wait another 12 years for the next one. Thanks.

Here is your field for 2011: Duke, Georgetown, Kansas, UCLA, Michigan, Memphis, Tennessee, and the host school - Division 2 Chaminade. Sick.

I've already got the whole thing planned out. Get there on a Saturday. Chill, do whatever. Same thing on Sunday. Monday, Tuesday, & Wednesday go to Georgetown wins at some point and kick it on the beach when they aren't playing. The gym is only 1,000 yards from the Pacific Ocean. Thursday eat turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauce, and pumpkin pie on the beach. Friday do whatever. Saturday do whatever. Sunday either go home or send for our stuff and never leave. I'll make sure to have Rocky's bags packed so he's able to get there ASAP should we find suitable housing.

So the new rankings came out today. The Hoyas are #16 in both the AP and the Coaches Polls. I think they should be closer to 10 than 20 but it's early. I think it's a joke that UNC is #25 in both. I also think it's insane that Feinstein has VMI as #25 on his ballot. He's easily the worst voter with no peers in sight.

You know what always makes me laugh? When you are out and somebody has a really annoying song as their ring tone. It's not enough that the song is annoying, it's that that person decided to make it their ring tone and keep it at an insane volume level in public. Somebody at Target had Poker Face set at an obscene level. The offender of course had to struggle to find her cell phone in her purse. I wouldn't have expected anything less.

If you had told me before that season started that the Redskins would be 5-5 after 10 games I would have taken it. If you had told me that 2 of their 5 losses would be to Detroit and St. Louis I would have wanted to fight you.

I was kinda worried that Bret Favre might have retired after yesterday's embarrassment. I'd like to see him in person one last time before he permanently trades football pants for Wrangler jeans.

Random Maui Notes: It wasn't so long ago that Oklahoma was really good at basketball. They really suck now. Jeff Capel, their head coach, can't even find a good Hawaiian shirt to rock on the sidelines.

UCONN escaped with a close win over the Shockers today. I'd like to think that the Hoyas will be able to figure out how to contain Kemba Walker. I'm thinking Jason Clark and Vee Sanford will do the trick.

Kentucky fans seem really annoying on TV. I hope they lose at least once while they are out in paradise.
