Nothing but sweat pants and take-out

I love Saturdays. But then again, who doesn’t? The beautiful combination of sleeping a lot, doing a little and reveling in unabashed laziness is one of life’s little treasures. If you happen to be a sports fan, then Saturdays are as close as you can get to heaven. Late fall through early winter means a glutton of college football games. The start of the New Year through early April means a plethora of college basketball games.

At the moment my computer is a virtual sports smorgasbord. I’m listening to radio broadcasts of the Ithaca - St. John Fisher men’s basketball game, as well as the Utica - Nazareth men’s basketball game … simultaneously. I don’t even know how I can pull that off. Earlier today I listened to the Ithaca - St. John Fisher women’s basketball game.

Strewn amongst random issues of Sports Illustrated and ESPN the Magazine on my desk is a bag of Doritos (ranch flavored of course), a can of Mountain Dew and a list of things to do that I am enjoyably ignoring. And I just got two score updates from empire8.com in my e-mail inbox. Life is good.

One thing I have noticed today is that St. John Fisher basketball still reigns supreme. On the men’s side, Utica College was picked as the preseason favorite, but the Cardinals won’t be giving up their stranglehold on the Empire 8 any time soon. They’ve won the conference title each of the last four seasons, and don’t appear to be falling off. The Cardinals have been all over Ithaca today, and currently lead 67-40 half way through the second half.

The race will be closer this year than in past seasons, but my money is on St. John Fisher to still be playing in March. My money right now though is on chinese food, because it is after all Saturday. I love Saturdays.
