Yeah, I got something to put in your mouth!

How's everyone doing?  How's that fucking bracket doing?  Damn!  I was hyping the Fighting Irish and saying they were going to take it all...So close...Hell, when I saw they were going up against Kentucky, I was just hoping they'd keep it close...Then, holy fucking shit Batman, they're leading...But fucking Kentucky squeaked out the win...Brutal!

-As for hockey's tourney, there was some great games this weekend...And the "Frozen Four" is set...I always feel like a douche saying "Frozen Four" but I'm assuming Basketball has it copy written, so hockey had to go Frozen...Anyway...they four are set, and they have a until April 9th before they play...The first matchup is  Nebraska-Omaha vs. Providence...Both have hot goalies, Providence's Jon Gillies is the top NCAA goalie, along with being American goaltending prospect who has been drafted by the Calgary Flames...

Omaha got hot late in the season and has road that tide, but I'll take Gillies to shut them down and take the Friars to the Final...

The other matchup, to perennial College Hockey powers...Boston University vs. North Dakota...Seriously, this should be the final...Two great all-around teams...I would honestly say, screw it, flip a coin...But wait...The "Frozen Four" is being played in, wait for it..............................
BOSTON!  Well, with that kind of home ice advantage, I'll go with the Terriers...Yep, I'm calling for an all New England Final...And I'll ride BU to the title...

-Now, while I know plenty of people who are fans of that bullshit called "Wresting," yes the WWE, sorry folks, I will not be writing about fucking WrestleMania! I have already see to so-called "Sports News" sites post about WrestleMania...It's not a sport...It's a scripted fucking Soap Opera hopped up on 'roids....Feel free to enjoy the stupid plot lines, and all the almost punches, but stop calling it sports...Yes, they are athletic...Yes, I'll call them athletes, but it's not a sport if there is no defense, and there is clearly no defense, since it's fucking scripted!

-Now for something different...I love trying out, and messing with new apps on my iPhone...I've messed with a number of the photography and picture editing ones, and over the last couple weeks, I've really been enjoying a new called Tunepics...So far it's doing well in England, and a bit of Europe...There not many of us Americans there yet...You take a picture, and you have a few different filter/environment options, and then you search out/pick a song to go with it...It's cool how the two can play off each other or one can set the tone of the other...Check it out!

(yeah, I'm trying to get them to advertise on The Gab!)

That's it for now...

Have a week!

Just imagine what else she can do...Quality videos of this gal out there!

I mentioned last week that we are having financial issues, and foundation issues with our home...Well, this week I got a promotion at work...While it means working more hours and all nights, and less time doing stuff with the kids, it also means more money...Then after picking a company that gave us an estimate of just over $17,000 to fix and refinish our entire basement, we found out that they approved financing for $15,000 of it for us...And at a good rate...

So while things are still going to be tight for awhile, we're feeling a bit better about it all...Plus the basement getting done how it is, is going to give us a good increase in resale value, if and when we can ever sell this bastard!

So while most sports fans this weekend were paying attention to  the NCAA Basketball Tournament, I was paying attention to the NCAA Hockey Tournament...

There are a lot of people out there who don't realize, that they are missing some good hockey...Scoring, defense, checking, goaltending, quality play all around...Saturday it took double OT for (14)North Dakota to get past (5)Ferris State 2-1...My (8)Irish were pushed to OT as well, where they fell to (9)St. Cloud State 4-3...The Irish controlled much of the game, but the Huskies have a bunch of firepower...3 elite goal scorers...But Sunday (1)Minnesota shut them down, winning 4-0 to advance to the Frozen Four...Also on Sunday, Hockey East rivals, (2)Boston College and (7)UMass-Lowell battle for a ticket to the Fozen four...BC came out on top 4-3...

April 10th BC will face (3)Union who beat (13)Vermont and (11)Providence to get there...Then North Dakota will Face Minnesota...

I'll be pulling for North Dakota, who will always be the "Fighting Sioux" in my eyes!

But you know what else makes College Hockey better then College Basketball?  I don't have to see the campuses erupt into a riot every time their team advances...At first I didn't care that Dayton did...But for God's sake then it turned into every time the Flyers made a basket, that campus went batshit...

Then this weekend Arizona had a riot...1st, Thank God they didn't get to the Final Four...2nd, You're Arizona...You've got some basketball history...No need to get worked up to riot level...Then UConn decided to go crazy because they made it to the Final Four...WHAT THE FUCK!?!  You'r mother fucking UConn...You go to the Final Four every other year...What happened to "Act like you've been there before?"  Never in my life did I think I would say, I'm rooting for Florida...But their campus will probably burn to the ground if they win, because the trend in college basketball is clearly to overreact...

Basketball fucking sucks dirty, rotten cock...Watch a Hockey game!

Or hell, turn on Major League Baseball...Season just started...WoooHooo, love that cold weather baseball!

This is where I get off...I need to adjust to my new schedule...My day still starts early with kids in the morning...Gotta figure out a time to slip in a nap...

Have a week...

The Beeze.

Well I hope everyone else had a fun St. Paddy's Day...Maybe not as classy as these two, but still fun...(thanks for that Barstool!)

I have to give B-Dub a big thanks for covering for me...I also apologize for not being around for the last week or so...Things have been a mess here lately...My St. Patrick's Day blew...Molly had to have her second major dental surgery first thing that morning...Nothing like putting your 3 year old under and handing over $1600 on a bright Monday morning, when the cool people are having kegs and eggs...

The first hour or two after coming out of it sucks...But she bounced back well...Better then she did last time...In the afternoon I got some Irish boiled dinner going, just to get a bit in the mood...The next day I took off work as well, just to help her have another day of taking it easy without the morning runaround...We just relaxed and played, it was a nice day...until the wife and I looked at just how fucking broke we are right now...

Then we had a guy come out later in the week to check our basement that has suddenly been taking water this Winter...He found some issues...Basically the foundation is fucked, and we're sitting down with some people this week to get estimates on the options we have, and financing options...

If anyone out there has an extra $20,000 out there, it would really help the Beeze family out...I apologized for being absent lately, but it may be happening more, as I'm going to be looking to pick up extra hours at work...or if you have something under the table, that would be sweet too!

Sports has clearly been on my back burner...I couldn't tell you shit about the NCAA tourney, except my bracket is totally fucked...Hey, I was just guessing anyways...

The NCAA Hockey Tourney is set after this weekends conference tournaments were finished...

The Northeast Region is 1. Boston College vs. 4. Denver
 2.UMass-Lowell vs. 3. Minnesota State

Odd since  Lowell won the Hockey East Tourney and BC was bounced early by Notre Dame...

The East region is 1. Union College vs. 4. Vermont
 2. Providence vs. 3. Quinnipiac

Union was the ECAC regular season and tournament champion...

The Midwest Region is 1. Wisconsin vs. 4. North Dakota
 2. Ferris State vs. 3. Colgate

Ferris State lost to Minnesota State in the WCHA Final...

The West Region is 1. Minnesota vs. Robert Morris
 2. Notre Dame vs. St. Cloud State

Notre Dame lost to UMass-Lowell in the Hockey East semifinals...St. Cloud who has been a good team all year, got bounced in the first round of the NCHC tournament by Miami...

Clearly, the regular season means a lot more then the conference tournaments  based on teams in and out, and seeding...

I would like to say the Irish will take the whole damn thing, but I'm not sure they'll get by St. Cloud...I think we'll be seeing a Minnesota vs. UMass-Lowell final...

That's about all the sports I have for ya...

Oh, except, this...If you're going to a hockey game, and you're going to bang on the glass, you better be ready....





That's all I have for now...

Have a week...
