OT-AZTEC BASKETBALL

[quote=temeculaguy] Not only did I consent, I almost cried, so proud of my little girl, more so than when she graduated college at the top of her class. Watch it on TV and take the 10k was what she said and who says young people today are stupid, I beg to differ. So proud! The next generation will have Piggingtons.[/quote]

That is great TG! Love hearing stories like this.

People have been saying the next generation is terrible since Aristotle’s time. It’s never been true.

Our kids chose basketball as their sport this year and I have to say, it is fun to watch kids play! Never a dull moment and I can actually see their playing improve week by week. There are very few sports where the improvement is evident on a weekly basis. It brings a smile to my face as I watch it.

Soccer, baseball, football, karate, I’ve watched the kids learn them all. None of them really all that fun to watch from the sidelines (to me) but basketball, that’s a whole nuther animal. Maybe it is because I get to sit so close to the action, I don’t know. But I find myself getting much more involved with the game. And they are super enthused about it…I’m hoping they stick with this one next year.

And yeah, I “watch” them learn. I would be a terrible teacher. I can’t play sports to save my soul. Not proud of that, but it’s a fact. No use denying it.

Yeah love watching my kids play basketball- basketball has so many different ways for players to help their team. Middle school is fun but when you get to the high school level things get very serious very fast. Hope your kids get tall- bigs get babied and are allowed to make the same mistake over and over while the guards get pulled and yelled at for the slightest thing. My son and daughter are both guards so I may be just a bit biased : )

Both of you are correct, it’s just fun to watch and great for the kids. God help you if they go out for track or cheer. Track always involves meets far away that last 12 hours and since one of my kids was was a sprinter, it is 10 seconds at 8 am, 10 seconds at noon and 10 seconds at 4pm for the various relays and individuals while you are two hours from home and stuck in the stands for 4 hours, it’s like bad layovers at the airport. Don’t get me started on cheer, that’s 4 years and thousands of dollars that never translates into a scholarship to watch the same routines over and over with no score. But we love them and support them no matter what, I just hope yours stick with basketball, so much better for the viewer. If any of your boys or girls make it college hoops send me a message and I’ll go watch with you. I’ll pay my own way and even fly to games with you, it is the best entertainment out there. Mine didn’t make it to that level but I’ll support any kids of piggingtons who do. College hoops is just the best and SDSU might be a 1 seed this year. Here’s the irony, I’m going to Europe at the end of March, I might be over there during the sweet 16 and elite 8, I’ve already got the info on a data plan so I can watch but I cannot attend and it’s killing me.

P.S. same offer applies to NCAA golf, other sports are negotiable. I do think this small fraternity should support each other and i know a few other piggs who would relish the opportunity for road games just for the comraderie.

My kids say track is the most fun, especially the meets cause the in between events time is just hanging with their friends. Basketball and other team sports can have a lot of undeserved favoritism and hidden agendas.

As far as track goes, Sure the kids love it, but the parents are in hell. In other news, the Aztecs pulverized the Lobos tonight. Four games from being undefeated in the regular season and already the MW conference title winners. San Diegans take notice, this is already the best team we’ve ever had in any sport. Enjoy it, support it, we aren’t likely to see this again in any other sport. We are going to be a freaking one seed! The sucky part is that I’m the only one who cares and I’m going to be in Italy, France or Spain during the final four and elite 8, I’m going to have to be awake at 4 am to watch it on my phone. unless I can find a bar in Europe that opens that early and doesn’t broadcast just soccer. I’m not optimistic. I’ve been learning how to say ESPN in multiple languages. It’s wonderful and horrible at the same time, I’ve got to plan my vacations better.

I don’t watch sports as much as some guys, but I like this run they’re having. I went to one of their local games when they had a similar run years ago. I was surprised how steep the seats are.

I used to go to the Gulls games in the early 90’s. They were good. One guy didn’t wear a helmet. I haven’t been to a game since they came back.

I’ll watch golf sometimes on the weekends. Always fun to see if a local is gonna win. Or Tiger. And golf looks awesome on these new tv’s.
