25 years ago today Hank Gathers collapsed and died of an undiagnosed heart condition. It was while he was playing BB for Loyola Marymount and was caught on tape by ESPN. His friend and teammate Bo Kimble shot free throws with his left hand for the rest of the season in honor of Hank.
RIP Hank Gathers.

In just 18 days we get the Biggest/Best 4 Days in Sports begins. Thursday/Friday 16 games each. Saturday/Sunday 8 games each. Thank God for March Madness! Kind of fills the void between the bowls and the Spring Game. Then Summer!

Yesterday was the 35th Anniversary of the "Miracle on Ice" last sporting event I watched with my Dad. Miss 'The Good Ole Days' there just weren't enough of them.

I remember when we had 90 and 100 degree weather in the summer. 2014 had a couple days in the 90ies and nothing close to 100.
Its -3 here now and won't get over 15 all week. I could use a little global warming.

What kind of sicko gives up beer? That just aint right. Even Jesus had wine.
And the puritans hammered down a gallon a day when they came over on the Mayflower. Even the kids. Healthier than water, drink the water and
get dysentery.
