68. US Open, college football, etc...
68.
Well, Agassi had a memorable win over Baghdatis. I dreaded this, and it happened. First off, the match was EXCELLENT. A good match (quality wasn't really great...), and they both fought their hearts out. But, again, the obnoxious crowd ruined it. Does Andre really enjoy having these rowdy, bandwagon fans cheering him like this. It's awful. Everything is so over the top, that I don't see how he can enjoy this. This is why star athletes should never announce retirements.
Meanwhile, this ruins the Open... as CBS is the worst with the bullshit hype. Agassi/Roddick 4r match on Labor Day? Oh, fuck no. I can't watch this weekend without wanting to stab people for the 1324124 stupid, ridiculous comments and happenings that will ensue.
The sad thing is that I've loved Andre since 1999. The way he's turned around his career is nothing but inspiring. But, sadly, the best memories are going to be of hoodlums mindlessly cheering for him. Much like Jimmy Connors from 1991. That is NOT what tennis should be like.
In other sports news, college football kicked off today. I only watched the UTEP/SDS game. This game further shows why there should be no meaningful games in the first couple weeks of the season. Mistakes, mistakes, mistakes. Games before my birthday (13 September) prove absolutely nothing as to who the better teams are. And be assured that FSU/Miami will be another flaming pile of suck like it was last year. What is the point of those two teams playing now. They get more than enough national exposure during the season. Why stupidly risk your entire season like this. Oy.
In TSM news, nothing interesting. This place is still struggling. NHB's flavor of the week is insulting wildpegasus now. I'm lost as to why people find this jocular. It's still better than the "teddy bear" week, and the "Boardum, let's PARTI DUDEZ" week. The only part of the WP situation that I'd find interesting is why the mods are so adamant on doing nothing about him. They don't explain it.
Note to people wondering where I am on MSN/AIM, not messaging back, etc... I haven't been on much. I go through these stretches. As everyone should know by now, I'm very antisocial and hate talking to people. Plus, with tennis on, I'm watching TV and shit. It's nothing personal against you. So, don't get all offended. Thanks.
I finally have tennis tomorrow night. Wish me luck. I'm expecting to win this little tourney. Then, I have a fairly big USTA one in 2 weeks. I'm losing there, but I want to be competitive. I like to show off.
That's all for now. I'm kinda sleepy. Only got about 3 hours of sleep last night due to stressing over nothing.
xoxoxo
