Hi there. Well its good to be back from a 5 day trip to South Carolina. Perfect weather, had my fill of shrimp and fried oysters (not enough), and some amazing photos I got to take. I also played a lot of golf. The most beautiful golf hole I have ever played is the 9th hole at the Ocean Point golf links on Fripp Island. A par 4 slight dog leg left that makes its way along the Atlantic Ocean. The view from the tee is breathtaking and if you're on the right side of the fairway, the ocean crashing up against the sea wall is killer. If the miracle occurs and I ever get married (don't hold out your hopes for that ever happening LOL!) I want the vows to take place on the 9th green and then have a best ball scramble format reception on that golf course!
I like to compare golf to that pretty girl you like. You talk, get to know her real well and discover you have some things in common. There's a connection. Then just when you're ready to ask her out, she punches you in the gut by telling you she's dating some guy ten times better than you. You become depressed and just when you've given up hope in never seeing or talking to her again, she breaks up with that guy and comes back into your life and the process starts over again. Now for the golf analogy. You think you're playing well and everything is good. Then wham the punch comes! You're spraying drives left and right missing the fairway, mishitting iron shots or missing every putt including the tap in gimmees. And just when you're ready to chuck your clubs into some bottomless lake, you hit a perfect shot on some par three and tap in for birdie. All is good with the world again. It happened to me Wednesday.
Would someone tell Jets coach Rex Ryan to just shut up please! Get some duct tape for that fat a--es mouth and seal it real tight. Look I'm no Cowboys fan, but I'm making an exception Sunday night this one time.
Boy what a rough off season for hockey. First the deaths of enforcers Derek Boogaard, Rick Rypien and Wade Belak; and now the tragedy in Russia where 36 members of the Lokomotiv Yaroslav team died in a plane crash earlier this week on their way to their league opener.
Randy Edsall decided to leave UConn to coach at the University of Maryland. He said it was his dream job. Did you see the unis Under Armour gave the Terps to wear in their first game he coached for them? Man those things made anything the Oregon Ducks have been sporting the past few years fashionable and good looking. Talk about double bag ugly! Where's Tim Gunn when you need him?
Finally this weeks, "Opie's Upset Specials." Last week 1 for 2. Won on Northwestern and lost on Fresno State. First the college upset special where Hawaii heads to Seattle to take on the Washington Huskies. Take those Rainbow Warriors who are actually playing at a time most people on the east coast can watch! Now for your first pro upset special. Interconference match up between the Chargers and Vikings in San Diego. I'm not sold on the 'Bolts who Peter King is picking to go the Superbowl against the Falcons. Go with Donovan McNabb and the Vikings in an upset.
