Coach Big Bubba - Basketball Wizard
The Seattle Supersonic's Ray Allen has been working the NBA refs like a streetwalker working the Johns in a sleazy neighborhood. Amazingly he seems to have some success. In last night's continuing humiliation of the Supersonics by the San Antonio Spurs the fans were denied the excitement of a 100% Spur defense. It was proved yet again that NBA refs are capable of interfering in the natural flow of the game to the detriment of the fan's enjoyment of the game.
Despite all of Allen's whining and the best efforts of the referees the Supersonics looked little better than a lackluster pick up game team on a city park court. What's worse is that the Supersonics looked whupped from the start despite all the refs’ best efforts. The one exception was the former member of the Spurs Championship season team, Antonio Daniels.
I do see one problem developing. Ray Allen whined and the referees did their best to help his game. Despite all their ticky tack calls the Supersonics could do no better than chumpball. I think in game three the refs might put Allen on his own. Their theory will be that Allen, and the Supersonics, are so far gone that any further assistance from the referees will have to be so obvious that it will be impossible to pull off. The Supersonics will be on their own, at home, with their home crowd. Will it be enough? Big Bubba doesn't think so if the Spurs are allowed to play their normal tough defensive game. Bruce Bowen, the underrated super star, is a far better defensive player than Allen on offense.
Let the games begin!
Go Spurs Go!

Big Bubba and Basketball I thought
football was the King in Texas. I
loved Earl Campbell now that was a football player.
I got a laugh in Little Italy the other day. Some Joker made a hand gesture and I thought he was a Longhorn fan. Apparently that hand gesture is the sign of the devil in Italy.So when in Little Italy do not make that gesture.
If it is still "up" this is a funny piece by local sportswriter Buck Harvey about Bruce Bowen "getting in" Ray Allen's head. I recommend it. Funny Joke Samwich!!
Beakerkin, here in Texas we begin our religious rites when the sun goes down Friday and continue through Saturday. Does that sound familiar? You know Friday night high school football and Saturday college football.
Since I attended Texas A&M you will never see me doing the hated symbol the Austin teasippers use. I did play football, however, I have to admit that it was not the most important sport in my high school. My classmates, and friends, played on what is often described as the all time best boys Texas 3A high school basketball team, 1961-1962. My school was a high school basketball power house winning many state championships. We were also a high school baseball powerhouse winning many state championships. Our baseball coach in the early '60s was Cliff Gustafson who went on to coach the TU baseball program for (I think it was) more than thirty years. Coach Gus was really a great guy and we all loved him.
Army is supposed to be negotiating to play in our Alamodome as home team against the Mighty Texas Aggies. I think the proposal is for 2008. They are also scheduled to play at the Mighty Texas Aggies Kyle Field in a two year deal, home here, away at Kyle Field. Those games will be absolutely huge since Texas loves the military. Some Texans actually choose West Point over the A&M Corps of Cadets. Kyle Field holds 82,600 and the Alamo Dome holds 65,000. Both of those games will be huge sell outs long before the teams meet to play the actual game.
Yes, Big Bubba was in the Texas A&M Corps of Cadets
"...Texas A&M is writing its own military history in the blood of its graduates... No name stands out more brilliantly than the heroic defender of Corregidor, General George F. Moore. Whenever I see a Texas man in my command, I have a feeling of confidence..." General Douglas MacArthur, writing in the early days of WWII.
Well Big Bubba I am glad you set the record sraight. However local
Jews root for Oklahoma as its inititials are a local Kosher Symbol. OU means Orthodox union in NYC.My youger brother was devestated when he learned that OU was not a Jewish School.
Yeshiva University does have a basketball team but they never win
and play tough opponents like Merchant Marine Accademy. I did get a cap that said Yeshiva Unviversity in the Mountain Dew contest it was a local joke.
Yeshiva University does not have a football team or cheerleaders.
888-568-0073
Beakerkin, Texas A&M does not have cheerleaders, pep rallies and such. We have yell leaders and First Yell, Midnight Yells and such.
The Yeshiva University could pick up some ideas from Texas A&M for their very own Yeshiva Yells and Yell Leaders. I could just see it now. Black pants, black shirts, black shoes with the curls at the ears coming from under the black hat.
This could be some dynamite comedy material. Their yell voice would have to be like the voice of the blabbermouth rabbi in the Seinfeld episode who spilled Elaine's secrets on TV. You have to be familiar with Seinfeld, The Simpsons, and King of the Hill to talk Big Bubba. That’s Big Bubba’s reality TV.
The only problem is that not many people, despite national TV exposure are aware of Texas A&M's yell leaders so they might not see the humor of yeshiva yell leaders.
Yeshiva Yell Leaders that is comedic genius. Someday they should do a sitcom set in Yesiva University.
