Sunday Open Thread

Open thread for today. As for me, forget football. It might not be quite 50 degrees here in upstate New York, but I am heading to the golf course for the first time this year.

Chat about the NCAA Tournament (I have to give a shout-out to my hometown Siena Saints!), the World Baseball Classic, MLB spring training, the upcoming draft. Pretty much anything you like, as long as you keep it sports-related.

Oh, and I leave you with one incredibly hilarious clip I am sure you will enjoy. Kudos to Ultimate NYG for the find.

Siena

Being a Siena Grad, I gotta say a double O/T victory was amazing to watch. The Louisville game will be one of the biggest, if not biggest, sporting events for Upstate NY ever.

What golf course is open??? Hit em straight.

When its 3rd and long, throw the ball past the marker.

Fester

Van Patten is open, and Evergreen (East Greenbush) is open year round, as crazy as that sounds.

How do you score

a lost ball in a snow drift?

The Saints have nothing to be ashamed of. They put a scare into Louisville and stayed competitive throughout the game. It was fun to watch.

Funny you ask

The 16th hole has a large water hazard to the left, and much of it was still frozen over. The course had only been open for 5 days, but there must have been 100 golf balls laying on top of the ice. It was hilarious. And no, mine did not get added.

LOL!!

We discussed going out on the ice to retrieve a few balls. But, that might have been a pretty stupid thing to try.

I went to an outlet mall with my girlfriend today

and was lucky enough that she didn’t force me to go into her stores with her, so I went to a music store that also sold some games, including Monopoly: Giants Super Bowl Champions edition. It was pretty much the coolest thing I’ve ever seen. Unfortunately, it was $40 and I couldn’t justify spending that on a game that I already have just b/c it’s the Giants.
