O'Hoolix=EN FUEGO

Okay sports fans....guess who's back?............he's back.......yes he's back.......O'Hoolix is back (insert house of pain back ground music here!) Boy do I hate to scam a Dan Patrick line, but O'Hoolix is "EN FUEGO!" Yesterday was a great day if you were on O'hoolix's picks, 5-5 weeeners.

Look, yesterday O'Hoolix was Alex Logan and his picks were the DEATH BLOSSOM! I hope some of you were on the same side as the famous video game/universe savior/sports gaming wizard. Sunday's games were decent, not as good as Saturday evenings though. O'Hoolix will raise a glass to Siena after their run, boy were they fun to watch. Mizzu, Mich St were close, Syracuse and Kansas won handily. Before I get to Thursday's picks, I want to make a few observations.

1) I love that they moved the 3 point line to an adult male distance. I was sick of seeing grown ass men shoot 3's from the same distance jr. high boys and girls shoot it from. It has opened up the game and I enjoy it much better. Why do we wish to water everything down in this country because its harder?????? O'Hoolix thinks we are getting soft and sitting on our arses too much.
2) I didn't notice much mascot tomfoolery going on. O'Hoolix, being kind of a mascot himself was saddened to see his furry brothers being held down. Nothing is better than a good mascot fight or a mascot heckling other college students. In fact, I love it when a mascot reacts to a crappy ref call or to a crushing defeat! To see the Syracuse Orangeman ball type thing act like he got shot when they lose a tough game is priceless!!! Is there a gayer mascot than the damn teddy bear thing at UCLA????? I am embarrassed for all my other furry mascot friends due to that sweet honey bear. Maybe I am going a bit far here, but I like to see when me and my furry bro's play against kids at half-time. Usually, some lame ass guy tells us to take it easy on the kids during half-time, screw that O'Hoolix wants to win. If they ever get O'Hoolix out there during a half-time game to play football or basketball against the pee-wee's they are goin down! I will be like Deacon Jones and Brett Favre all rolled up into one, O'Hoolix doesn't like to lose. If its hoops, look out here comes Kobe "O'Hoolix" Bryant on those little punks. They most likely deserve to lose and have been acting bad at home or something. When me and my friend's handicap the half-time pee-wee games does that signal a problem????????

Anyway: You want winners, O'Hoolix wants winners, Warren Buffet wants winners as does Regis....so read em and weep.

Sunday 5-0
Total 12-5-1

MISSOURI +4.5: I like Memphis to win in a close one and continue on, but Mizzu has heart and may even pull the upset.

MISS/MEM over 141.5: I think this will be a shoot out with both teams pressing and gunning, should be fun to watch.


XAVIER +7: Pittsburgh has won, but not convincingly. Xavier shoots the 3 decently and rebounds well, I like them to stay close.

VILLANOVA: Tough team and Duke is vulnerable here after escaping Texas. I probably would take them on the money line, as it might go down to 1 or 1 1/2 by game time and the M/L might offer value.

Good luck, stayed tuned and may the winners be yours.

F.S.

What a Hoot

Those crazy mascot hi-jinks:



You have to wonder: did Sammy the Owl break the mascot code of conduct by talking to the official, or did Sammy get tossed just because he kept making gestures? Pretty funny either way, though you could make the case it wasn't a wise move.

Yeah, I know. It's been a long couple of weeks in Oolitic at the kanuter valve plant.
