Time to jump into it again boys and girls for my weekly installment of Gettin'er vs. Ill (3rd edition). This is our time to look at who is truly gettin'er done and who truly is just being completely illegitimate. Let us embark on the journey...
Golf
Gettin'er: Stewart Cink but more importantly Tom f'en Watson. Although you didn't win the Open Championship, you put on a show for the history books and nearly held the Claret Jug up for 60 yr olds everywhere. I was shocked at how amazingly well you played (minus the 72nd hole and playoff) and was cheering for you the whole time. That makes Greg Norman, and Tom Watson now 2 years in a row trying to win one for the old fellas at the Open. Who will it be next year? My Prediction: F the old guys, John Daly by 3 strokes.
Ill: Wow this is my second Ill post for my boy Tiger Woods. You are now 3 for 3 on winning the tournament before a major and then completely choking it and completely missing the cup at the Open Championship. I don't know how you did it, but sir, you are a magician at playing terrible in opening rounds at majors in 2009. I probably won't even put you in the gettin'er category if you win the PGA, ok I might.
Gettin'er or Ill I ask? You be the judge and decide for yourself. Didn't know Michael Jordan could get up that high.
Basketball
Gettin'er: Yao Ming or is it Ming Yao. You utterly showed your dominance of ALL of China when you grew to 8 feet tall, oh, I mean when you bought your previous China Basketball team! Talk about completely gettin'er done CHINA style. Not only did you emasculate all of China with your genes, you then shoved it in their face by purchasing the economically challenged Shanghai Sharks. China has economic problems too? Dang, this is a recession.
Ill: LeBron. What a sorry excuse for man. News Recap: at a summer Nike Basketball camp, Jordan Crawford of Xavier University dunked on LeBron James. Yes you read correctly, straight posterized 'the king.' WE ARE ALL WITNESS? Apparently not because after he got posterized by Crawford, LeBron stopped the scrimmage, talked to the camp director for a moment and returned to play. The camp director than went around and confiscated all the video tapes from the people recording the game claiming that it was illegal to video tape after camp hours. Are you serious? Who cares if a college kid posterizes you? You are still going to make millions, let the kid blow up on YouTube and be an ambassador of the game.
College Football
Gettin'er: The BCS Championship. Everyone knows I am big into sports, and headed for my Masters in Sports Administration, so it might surprise you that I am actually in favor of the BCS Championship. I like the bcs championship because it goes outside the polls of the press and coaches, and takes into account all the different computer rating systems and compiles ratings for all the teams. If you want to be #1 in the BCS, go out and play real teams. This may be harder for the smaller teams b/c the bigger teams aren't willing to play good mid-conference teams, but lets be serious. Utah could not have beaten Florida last year. Everyone was mad because Utah went undefeated and didn't get a chance at a Championship but lets look at it, who did they beat? They didn't play anybody that would put them #1 in the country. They barely beat MICHIGAN week one, cruised their way through a weak Mountain West Schedule playing the toughest teams at home (TCU and BYU). There will always be a mid-conference team that goes undefeated, cries cause they don't get in the national championship but lets be honest. The BCS gives you a chance to at least win a BCS Bowl Game, and not play in the National Championship to get embarrassed. If a playoff system is adopted, it should only be 4 teams, and the BCS should choose the 4 teams involved. BCS gets er done, I'm sorry. (Also: Extending Zook's contract. Maybe we can make him head recruiter and get a real fball coach)
Ill: Notre Dame vs. Army in Yankee Stadium. Sure, playing in Yankee Stadium is really cool, bringing college football back to the golden years of football when the Military Schools dominated, but Notre Dame vs. Army? Sure, this is really cool because those are 2 very historical schools in football, but in the inaugural game in Yankee stadium at least put a real football game in there. Army has been struggling the past few years, and Notre Dame is far from what they used to be. This will be a mediocre show of football talent, where their could have been a much bigger battle in there like Troy vs. Temple. (Also: Louisville's apparent starting defense)
Anyways, thats all I have in short time, headed off to a brewery work party, sure thats going to be a blast. Someone please feel free to install gettin'er ill 4 at anytime.
The AD.
ga ga ga gettin'er
