I actually feel bad for making mormon jokes earlier in the thread. Yes, it’s hard to understand a college that doesn’t allow caffiene, tobacco, facial hair, alcohol or sex. But it doesn’t mean I don’t respect them, they did what few colleges ever do, they sacrificed sports success for prinicples. I wouldn’t survive a week at BYU, my college days started and ended with violating most of their codes, in fact, my fondest memories were the days I broke them all. Since the age of 17, I have never made it through a single day without doing at least one of the things that would get me kicked out of BYU. But that doesn’t make either of us right or wrong.

They got killed by and inferior team at home tonight, the best player in the college game right now (Jimmer), went 1 for 9 from the three point line. He’s obviously affected because I think he’s probably good for 3 of 9 from the half court line on any other night.

But the fact remains, Brandon Davies grew up in Provo, Utah. This was not foriegn to him. He had other opportunities but he accepted the scholarship and the rules that came with it. We have a hard time seeing what the big deal is because probably 99% of us had sex with their girlfriends or boyfriends at one time in their lives as adults. But we didn’t willingly agree that we wouldn’t. It’s the same as buying a house in a neighborhood with a strict HOA then painting your house pink and yellow and getting sued. It’s not a crime to do that, you aren’t hurting anyone, but it’s your fault for buying into an HOA. However, to further the analogy, no HOA would make you change the color of your house if it was bringing in millions of dollars for the HOA and the neighbors. BYU just did that. Respect it even if you don’t agree with it.

I’m an Aztec Alum, so I should feel good about this but I don’t. It’s unfortunate for the player, the BYU team, but it’s also unfortunate for the Aztecs and their fans. We wanted to meet them in the conference tourney and the national tourney, we wanted to beat them at their best, to exercise our demons. We probably will beat them now, but it won’t feel the same. If SDSU isn’t playing BYU, I’ll root for BYU. Because if it’s not us, then I want ot to be them, especially now. Both teams represent the opposite of what’s wrong with college sports today.

We did get ours handed to us, it’s taken me a few days to recover, food lost it’s taste until this morning. But Bracketology has SDSU as a 3 seed, that will just have to be good enough, I can only hope that they learn from the loss.

It’s funny, but I’ve learned something about myself through the experience, I feel better equipped to handle a tournament loss now, because, win lose or draw, I’ll benefit.

******Warning, diatribe alert**********

So here’s what I’ve learned from their derailed cinderella season and how it related back to real estate, money, politics and life. I came to this site years ago because I felt there was an inconsistency in my world. I felt like I had done the right things, that I was educated, employed and worked hard, yet I couldn’t afford a house, not even one I wouldn’t really like. I began to doubt my choices in life, the results of those choices and why I was left to envy the position of people I didn’t respect. I began to doubt my self image, I’ve always thought I was good enough, maybe I’ve been wrong all along. Ultimately balance was restored because of hard work, market cycles and a little luck, but that’s just one area of life where it happened, one area where I felt my self perception was validated.

Then the SDSU cinderella season comes along. For years I was always very happy about my choice to go to school there, the friends I made, my fraternity brothers, the memories, the ex-wives I met while there, I made the right call and even though I had other choices I wouldn’t change a thing. But I’m a sports fan and I always felt a little envy of the other schools with traditionally strong programs, traditions of winning. Then I thought, if the little engine that could actually does, I’ll be validated in this area of my life too. But they began to stumble, BYU swept them, I entered a mild phase of self-loathing and suddenly it hits me. It doesn’t matter. I’m not on the team, I am living vicariously through them, just as I live vicariously through other professional teams. I don’t envy them, I appreciate them, they can do things on the basketball court I can’t do. There are things I can do that they can’t, that’s how it works. There are people with nicer houses, with more money or with more athletic abilities, none of that makes me any less and if it were to fall in my lap, it wouldn’t make me any more. So now I can appreciate the wins and not be affected by the losses, the way I appreciate a great painting in a museum, even though I cant buy it or paint it. I can appreciate beautiful women, nice sports cars and I can especially appreciate great stories of triumph and of overcoming obstacles even if I may never do anything as great. I’m hoping to translate this epiphany into a slightly different view of my world and my place in it, so yes, I’m O.K. wth a 3 seed for the aztecs, and maybe a 2nd or 3rd round exit in the tourney. It’s going to be just fine.

However, I will still never be able to get through to the end of the doccumentary of the 1980 USA hocky team (not the movie “miracle,” but the doccumentary) and not have tears streaming down my face at the end when Al Michaels screams, “Do you believe in miracles!” I mean, I can grow, but I’ll never change.

It’s Judgement Day, many ESPN pundits calling today the most significant day in San Diego Sports History.

11:00, get ready, it’s raining so you might as well stay in and see what is easily the best thing on TV this weekend.

Sometimes it’s not as bad as it seems, some of these historical buildings come with property tax exemptions and are advertised as such when they are for sale. I’ve seen some advertised with property tax savings of over $500 a month, but the buyer is restricted in what they can do in way of modifications. So when you look at it that way, the government is paying them to provide a visual museum piece for all to see. Sure it’s unfair to tell people what to do with their property that owned them before they were made historical, I am not sure what the answer is because it’s an ex post facto homeowners association in those cases. But if someone were to buy one, knowing the rules adn reaping the benefits, they can’t cry foul.
