Sports Update

So I haven't blogged about sports recently, though I've watched a lot! Today I went to the UCLA vs. UW men's soccer game. Somehow I managed to sit next to some student athletes again. It's like if I sit by college students, they have to be student athletes. It was weird. But anyway, UCLA got a win somehow. Took advantage of their opportunities. And UW didn't. But some of it was Brian Perk's awesomeness. Damn he was good! It was worth it, just to see him.

Otherwise, it's been volleyball. I watched both of UW's games last week and really enjoyed the game vs. Oregon. I thought I had recognized Maricic as Oregon's leader from last year and she kind of had "bitch-face" going on. But she is good, and so was the setter Djordjevic (spelling?). I saw some of UW vs. Oregon State but after UW women's soccer match vs. Cal. It was a nice win by the girls. Probably the soccer teams and the volleyball team will make the tournament, and with UCLA winning some more I think the men's soccer team will make it. And of course Stanford! Too bad they lost to Cal and Cynthia didn't have that great of a game... And she had a decent one today vs. USC but Alix... Well at least they won.

And on the professional tennis side, unfortunately Marin and Mario lost early this week, but Gilles continues to be crazy awesome marathon man and he's going to make his way to the Master's Cup! He was so charming in the interview after the final at Madrid. I have officially become a fangirl... And Ana has been playing decently well, getting to two semifinals two weeks in a row! So things are getting better for her. Hopefully Novak has a decent week next week. And hopefully my other boys do well too!

So I went to the ticket office today, planning to get tickets to the NCAA regionals. They told me that they might get a student package. Maybe I should have gotten tickets anyway. Oh well, I'll see. I'd be willing to pay more since it would be worth it. Plus, if Stanford ends up in this regional, and/or Cal, it will be awesome! Being the west regional, I don't doubt it. I guess it would be cool to see Nebraska, Texas, or Penn State as well. Strangely enough of those three I've only seen Nebraska on TV. And random teams like Northern Colorado University get on TV. I don't know how this happens; college sports TV programming is messed up.

And NBA has started but I'm pretty apathetic to it. Looks like Kevin Durant is doing well. If only he could have stayed in Seattle... UW men's basketball doesn't play that interesting of a schedule, so I'll probably just see Oregon and UCLA. Unless some other team in the Pac-10 is randomly good and hyped, I think that's it. I'll probably see some gymnastics meets but next quarter I might actually want to do my HW. And do better in school...whoops...
