For Christian American readers of this blog:


I wish to incite all Christians to rise up and take back the United States of America with all of God's manifold blessings. We want the free allowance of the Bible and prayers allowed again in schools, halls of justice, and all governing bodies. We don't seek a theocracy until Jesus returns to earth because all men are weak and power corrupts the very best of them.
We want to be a kinder and gentler people without slavery or condescension to any.

The world seems to be in a time of discontent among the populace. Christians should not fear. God is Love, shown best through Jesus Christ. God is still in control. All Glory to our Creator and to our God!


A favorite quote from my good friend, Jack Plymale, which I appreciate:

"Wars are planned by old men,in council rooms apart. They plan for greater armament, they map the battle chart, but: where sightless eyes stare out, beyond life's vanished joys, I've noticed,somehow, all the dead and mamed are hardly more than boys(Grantland Rice per our mutual friend, Sarah Rapp)."

Thanks Jack!

I must admit that I do not check authenticity of my posts. If anyone can tell me of a non-biased arbitrator, I will attempt to do so more regularly. I know of no such arbitrator for the internet.

ESPN experts weigh in on 2012-2013 men’s college basketball season

by @ 5:15 pm. Filed under Blue Blooded Opinions

Seventeen ESPN “experts” came together to make a slew of predictions for the 2012-2013 men’s college basketball season. Analysts ranging from Jay Bilas, to Fran Fraschilla, to Chad Ford weighed in with their predictions on picks for conference titles, player of the year awards, sleeper teams, the Final Four and the national title game. Kentucky found its way on to a healthy number of the lists.
SEC champion: 11 out of the 17 experts picked Kentucky to win the SEC. 4 out of the 17 experts picked Florida, while 2 picked Missouri.
National Player of the Year: 13 out of the 17 experts selected Indiana sophomore Cody Zeller to win the National Player of the Year Race. Doug McDermott of Creighton made 3 ballots, while Jeff Withey of Kansas made 1.
Sleeper Team: A couple of SEC teams such as Tennessee and Missouri were selected as sleeper picks for the upcoming season.
Final Four Predictions: 
Stephen Bardo: Florida, Kansas, Ohio State, UNLV.
Jay Bilas: Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisville.
Eamonn Brennan: Gonzaga, Indiana, Kentucky, Syracuse.
Chad Ford: Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, UCLA.
Fran Fraschilla: Indiana, Louisville, Kansas, Missouri.
John Gasaway: Duke, Kansas, Kentucky, Syracuse.
Seth Greenberg: Gonzaga, Kansas, Louisville, Michigan State.
Andy Katz: Florida, Kansas, Louisville, Michigan State.
Jason King: Indiana, Louisville, Missouri, UCLA.
Joe Lunardi: Florida, Gonzaga, Louisville, Michigan.
Myron Medcalf: Florida, Indiana, Louisville, Michigan.
Dana O’Neill: Indiana, Louisville, Michigan State, UNLV.
Robbi Pickeral: Indiana, Kentucky, Louisville, Ohio State.
Bruce Pearl: Arizona, Florida, Louisville, Indiana.
Miles Simon: Arizona, Indiana, Louisville, Ohio State.
Dick Vitale: Indiana, Kentucky, Louisville, Ohio State.
Jay Williams: Indiana, Louisville, Michigan, Syracuse (though somehow he picked Louisville over Kentucky in the national championship game)

Bruce Pearl also made his “bold prediction” for the 2012-2013 season about Kentucky. Pearl seems to think that Calipari’s home winning streak at Rupp, which is also part of the current longest home game win streak in the nation is in jeopardy:
