Well, it's good to see Stanford win their first round tournament game. And by tournament, I, of course, mean the NIT. Because the team struggled a bit this year. It's kind of disappointing, since they've been on a decline since my freshman year. But apparently they have a couple of great recruits coming in (big twins...last time stanford landed big twins, they went to the final 4). So maybe next year things will turn around.
Speaking of stanford sports and next year, I'm quite glad stanford has a live webcam of the stadium construction. Which is kind of sad. But it's fun to watch. (Stanfordstadium.com). I also hope they keep the name of it as "stanford stadium" and don't sell it out. I still don't completely understand removing 30,000 seats. There are apparently 2 schools of thought on how to fill a stadium. The stanford approach is to build a smaller stadium. Some people are more in favor of building a better team. I'm from the latter school. They didn't have problems drawing fans the year they went to the Rose Bowl (having a "money-back guarantee" on tickets probably didn't hurt)
I think it's been about a week since I got my 6 boxes of cookies. And after today, I'll have 2.5 boxes left. Yikes. But really, I could eat 4 boxes of thin mints in about an hour. So I'm showing great restraint.
Other than that, not too much going on here. It's St. Patricks day this weekend, and I've never really been a big St. Pats day fan. Which probably has something to do with me a) not being Irish, b) not being Catholic, and c) not liking beer. But the day is huge in Baltimore since apparently the city is filled with a) Irish, b) Catholic, c) Beer Drinkers. Or some combination of traits.
That's it for now
