Armadillo: Thursday's six-pack

Six of the many things I'm thankful for.........

-- I'm thankful for good health and every day I'm given; we won't all run out of $$$, but eventually, we'll all run out of time.

-- I'm thankful for pizza and the people who deliver it.

-- I'm thankful that 30 years ago, someone I didn't know very well advised me to put money away every month. I listened and will benefit from that advice now.

-- I'm thankful that someone invented the Internet, where so much knowledge is right at our fingertips.

-- I'm thankful I got to be part of basketball programs where I learned a ton and made great friends: thanks to UAlbany and Schenectady High School.

-- I'm thankful that I started writing this website in 2001 and I'm more thankful that people actually read it. Happy Thanksgiving, everyone.

**********


Armadillo: Thursday's List of 13: Happy Thanksgiving, everyone.......

13) Butler 74, North Carolina 66-- Bulldogs shot 31% from floor but outrebounded the Tar Heels 57-40, with 29 offensive boards. Impressive win for them.

12) St John's 70, Minnesota 61-- Gophers scored 40 points in first half, 21 in second and looked terrible in last 10:00, playing their first true road game this season.

11) Oklahoma 75, UCLA 65-- Steve Alford has a big advantage with his son Bryce on the team; not only is the kid really good, but he's going to stay in school for four years and kids who are that good don't do that much anymore.

This was a terrific win for Lon Kruger, whose team was 10-38 outside arc, 11-26 inside the arc. Thought for a second that Paul Westhead hijacked the Sooners.

10) Redskins will start Colt McCoy against the Colts Sunday, as the RGIII drama continues to play out poorly for Washington. Its fairly obvious that Jay Gruden isn't too fond of Robert Griffin the player.

9) Purdue center Isaac Haas has size 22 sneakers; those are big feet!!! Haas had 12 points in 22:00 off the bench in the Boilers' OT win over BYU.

8) Diamondbacks signed Cuban OF Yasmany Tomas to a six-year, $68.5M contract, good signing for Dave Stewart, Arizona's new GM.

7) Why are stores opening at 6pm tonight? What if we boycotted these stores and told them thats its OK to give employees a day off? Would they listen?

6) Atlanta Falcons lost seven games the last two years when they led in the fourth quarter; they're 4-7 this year but tied for first place. Has a team ever won a division title and still fired their coach after the season?

5) When the Ravens won the Super Bowl after the 2000 season, they went five games in a row that season without scoring an offensive TD. Thats how great their defense was back then. Lions haven't scored a TD in their last two games and people are in a panic; imagine going three more in a row?

4) Arkansas Razorbacks are ranked in hoop's top 25 for first time in seven years.

3) I'd be in favor of fewer timeouts in televsied college basketball games; you get an automatic timeout for TV every 4:00, so teams don't need five each besides those. Games lose their flow with so many stoppages.

2) Louisville 45, Cleveland State 33-- Rick Pitino gets his 700th college win in an oddly low-scoring game; first time I saw the result, thought it was a halftime score. .

1) Three NFL games today; three divisional rivalries, all NFC teams meeting for first time this season. Will be odd to see an NFC game on CBS.

Home ice proving huge for the Predators

The Nashville Predators have been sending their local fans happy this year as the team has gone a stellar 8-1-0-1 at the Bridgestone Arena this season.

The games have been close though, as the Preds have only outscored their opponents 28-22 on home ice.

Nashville will host the Edmonton Oilers Thursday.
