On Thursday night, Gonzaga plays Duke at Madison Square Garden.  This is yet another one of those games that fans have waited ages for, and that fans thought would never happen… outside of a tournament game.  It’s really too bad that this game wasn’t scheduled for last year - both teams were ranked in the […]

Tonights UW/Gonzaga game is a big deal in Seattle and Spokane and across the state of Washington.  And, its become an increasingly big deal nationally with both teams ranked in the top 25 over the past 2 meetings.  Andy Katz of ESPN.com contributed a solid article on the state of in-state out of conference rivalries, […]

Next time you are in Walla Walla, Washington - stop by and meet to folks at Va Piano. 
They have released the first edition of “Bruno’s Blend” and are contributing a portion of the sale from each bottle to help with Father Bruno’s work around the globe.  Yah dooood. I’ve heard great things about this wine, and […]

i can hardly wait for another year of gonzaga basketball.  Taking a read through the Zagshoops message board (it will always be Zagshoops to me) I came upon an interesting thread regarding who will start for the team.
Here is who I would go run with:
PG- Pargo
SG- Ravio
SF- Pendo
PF- Mallon
C- Heytvelt
This team is deeeeeep, its gonna […]

This brings a smile to my face.
 
 
 
 
 

GU has a high profile transfer, Micah Downs, who will be playing for the Zags in late December after he completes the fall semester.  Downs comes with some question marks and rumors of not being a great team player or a good fit for the program. He also comes from a family that is interesting […]

Another fun wedding weekend is in the books.  Some highlights:

I was just thinking this week - I don’t even like the NBA, I don’t like the way the game is played, I don’t have a team (other than the default hometown Sonics and my childhood team Boston Celtics who haven’t been worth watching for 15 years).  Do I really care if the Sonics previous […]

Top 4 reasons the NBA Draft didn’t go as I hoped.

Adam Morrison to Charlotte. The Bobcats will never be on tv in Seattle. Check that, they will be on tv twice – once when they play in Seattle and once when Seattle plays out there.
Sonics Draft Sene. The Sonics might as well have thrown in […]

I will be contributing to the EndScore sports blog, a part of the GearLive network, on an occasional basis.
I’m very excited to share my thoughts on the sports world with this audience and felt that my first post had to be Zag related - Draft the Stache!

My current porfession falls within another quadrant of the marketing umbrella, but so far I am really enjoying this new site - Advertising Critic.  Created by a fellow Zag, Aaron Sanchez, this site has an interesting place in the year of YouTube and the age of over consumption by consumers.  I look forward to keeping […]

It’s been a busy week and I haven’t had time for the usual 4 or 5 blog posts.  Time to make up some ground. 

I’m going to watch the dreadful Mariners at Safeco tomorrow night… I hope the weather holds.
The NBA Playoffs have been incredible this year.  Great games, great matchups, and the style of the […]

I never thought I would see the day where Gonzaga was headlining an event in front of North Carolina.
From an AP report:
“Gonzaga and North Carolina headline the field for next season’s newly formatted NIT Season Tip-Off.”

Coltibuono Chianti Classico 2004
According to them: Brilliant and deep ruby-red in colour.
On the nose it has notes of blackberries. It is full, soft and well-structured on the palate. It has a well-balanced acidity and a clean and persistent aftertaste.
According to me:  Up front this wine smelt like a mushroom patch, but as the wine opened […]
