Wow, what a couple of days

Greetings and welcome to bog 1.004, this bog will be on press conferences, games, and traffic.

First press conferences, I have been to a boat load in the last couple of days. First we had the post-game conference at the SDSU men's game against Navy, then the post-game at the SDSU women's game (interesting note coming on that), and then today with the Poinsettia Bowl conference this morning, and the weekly Aztecs conference at Cox Arena (I kind of feel like I have been living there the last few days).

The note on the SDSU women's game is this. The Naval academy women's basketball team got into San Diego on Sunday. For dinner on Sunday they went to a Mexican restaurant in Mission Valley (I will not say which one on here as it would get me into trouble). The entire team, including the coaches, got food poisoning. So with that in mind, the entire team ran into the locker room after the game. For those who don't know the traditions with any service academy they always stay after the game to hear the alma mater played by the band. I had the EXTREME honor of being asked by the Capt. of the basketball team to stand in for the team during the alma mater. At the conclusion of the alma mater, I yelled as loud as I could the final two words of the song, "BEAT ARMY"! I personally went through the entire band, and thanked them for their service to the country, and they all thanked me for doing so.

The games that I have been to in the last few days includes both sides of the Aztecs vs. Navy battle (both games went to SDSU, BTW).

Traffic, say, has anyone in San Diego ever thought about oh, I don't know, BEING COURTIOUS????????? I would have to say no from what I can see here lately. If the driver in front of you needs to get in, let them, who knows, maybe the next time that you need to get in you will be able to do so.

Until I type again, this is Chris signing off of bog 1.004

SDSU Vs. Navy Basetball game

Well, win 100 @ Cox Arena for the Aztecs Men's Basketball arena came against the US Naval Academy before some 5500 folks. For the record, it was a 86-76 final in favor of SDSU. That is not what I'm going to be writing about however, what I'm writing about is (and I'm pretty leaniant when it comes to student sections) the poor sportsmanship from "The Show".

"The Show" for those who don't already know is the SDSU student section. You may have seen them when the Aztecs have been on TV, they are the ones that put up all of the face cut-outs surign the second half in an attempt to make the opponents miss thier free throws.

So, one of teh things that "The Show" does that I find actually really humorus is when Bryan Main is introducing the opponents, they are acting like they are reading the Daily Aztec. Then when Bryan is done announcing the opponents, they throw the copies of the DA in the air and start to cheer for the Aztecs. I have no problem with this, the problem that I had with "The Show" tonight was the fact that they were actually booing the Midshipman (don't call us the Middies) during the intros.

How can you boo the military?

I understand that it was the opponent for the evening, and all, but come on, its the Navy. If you really want to look at the city of San Diego, if it wasn't for the Navy & all the stuff this city does for the military in general, there wouldn't be a San Diego. And this one point to the SDSU Athletics dept. You are playing the US NAVAL academy, don't have the ARMY ROTC present the colors!!!!! That is just wrong!

So that will do it for bog post 1.003, Round two of the two round fight between SDSU & the US Naval Academy. The women will tip-off @ 7.
