opening night...

Wassup bball world its ya boy nate boogie live and direct from study hall. Hope everyone's week has started off well and ends well. Whats new?? well in my world im just looking forward to next week's surgery. I gotta go to LA this friday for my pre-op appointment, and then i go under the knife Wednesday of next week. Expect a full an speedy recovery between 4-6 months. Ill be back out there ready to lead the gauchos in the spring.
Have you been catching those NBA games lately. Boy my kings are off to a good start, 3-3. Not to mention my raiders are finally over .500.>YESSSIR!! Ive loved watching the games this year i dont know is it me or has the NBA finally become competitive. Since our team always has locker room dipsutes over who are the best players in the game today, Id like to leave you with a question, who is the best pg in the league now, Rondo or CP3??

Friday Night we opened up our 2010-2011 season off at home against Masters College. We got off to a slow start but as the game progressed we begin to hit our stride on our way to a 14 point victory. Masters never really laid down as they came out knocking down 3's and playing tough defense. Once we settled down after the first media timeout we began to execute like Gauchos and put points on the board. We were led in scoring by James Nunnally who had a game high 22 pts and 10 reb. Next up was Orlando johnson with a solid 21 pts 5 reb 4 assists. Big ups to Jon Pastorek who looked like a perfect compliment to Nunn and Oj, he scored 4 pts but had 9 rebs which were huge. He ran the floor well and put himself in good positions to rebound. Will's defense is always key he is everywhere the ball is, gotta love it. I gotta give #14 Cannon from masters love as he single handedly kept Masters in the game for at least a 10 min stretch knifing through our D and hitting open jumpers. Overall i feel it was a good way to begin the season, along with the freshman getting their feet wet. After watching film, we know what we need to do individually and collectively to have a better game next time we take the floor friday against DU. Sadly, i wont make the oregon trip. This redshirt stuff is wack LOL, i wanna travel and watch some games. Goodluck to the squad in Oregon, we will bring home the gold Gaucho World!!
Until next week Gaucho fans, enjoy the rest of the week and remember...ITS BOOGIE TIME!!!!

  1. Rondo...remember in the beginning of last year when Doc Rivers told him to take it easy on the scoring and assist the team? It would be scary if he is doing the same thing this year.

    Keep rockin the Thunderdome gaucho!!! Nate, if you read this comment...let the team know (especially the freshmen) they got our support. Rain or shine, we believe in you guys. Gauchos!!!

  3. CP3 The dude can single-handedly change a franchise. Rondo can't shoot the ball like a superstar yet.
