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!!!!

Finally......
Yaaaaaa its opening week of the upcoming Gaucho hoop season. Its time to get live its time to represent Gauchos stand up!!!!! Its ya boy boogie back with something for ya eyes and ears. Man what a week, having 2 scrimmages, midterms, and halloween weekend in SB..whoaaaaaa can you say LIVE!!! First off, Ive never seen so many drunk people in one area before, half naked people left and right, not to mention my neck is kinda sore from turning my head every 5 seconds LOL. It definitely was a sight to see. But chea i got some good news yesterday, surgery date is NOVEMBER 17th..yessy. God answers prayers, keep faith! I been grinding hard lately in the weight room and working on my jumper. I've gained weight and hell im making jumpers with my eyes closed now. Watching hoops from the sidelines you see more, learn more about the game from another point of view. So keep me in ya prayers people its a 4-6 month recovery process with heavy rehab, a balanced diet, and determination ill be back in the spring.
On to the scrimmages, we had a inter-squad and a scrimmage against la verne college. In the intersquad scrimmage i was surprised by the play of a few guys. Big greg showed he can and is more than capable of owning the paint. Jaime has a very nice post up package, and Big lucas was the most consistent through all 5 quarters. Im real impressed by how our freshman are playing with confidence and are hungry to learn more about the game and get better. I feel once we cut down our turnovers and learn each others tendencies we are going to be scary. We can expect the usual scoring from Orlando and James but Will has shown ability to get in the lane and shoot a floater or 2. As for the la verne scrimmage id like to first say, ORLANDO JOHNSON PLEASE STAY OFF THE RIM! He got hung so nasty..the rim said REJECTION! Troy leaf was a bright spot against La verne. He scored but also he created for his teammates, all in all looking like a nice piece of our puzzle. La verne had a run but we punched back and won(unofficially).
Well well well first game of the season is friday against Masters college. Ill be back next week for a inside scoop. Until next time, Love Live Life....

Season Is here
Coming to you live from study hall, LOL, ya boy nate boogie is back for another
update on the life and times of a gaucho. So for those of you who dont know i just
celebrated my 21st bday this past friday, what a memorable day. I survived without
sippin on any alcohol. I did see paranormal activity 2, yo that movie was bananas(crazy). School has been keeping me real busy. I been having midterms lately too so boogie been in them books hard, gotta be a STUDENT-athlete right?Haha..I got my first college F and college A on tests in the same week, how ironic. Ay but check this out, ya boy is finally filling out, i put on 5 lbs in 2 weeks. You see me!! Im going to look like a body builder after im done with rehab. NBA season is here lets goooo. My kings I think are headed in the right direction. Everyone is hyped to see if Miami could do it or will LA continue on their run for another 3 peat. Who will win rookie of the year, 6th man of the year, most improved, But the Big ? is who will take home the MVP and NBA finals trophy..Time will tell
On the hardwood, last week started off rough having heard my boy brad lewis wont be with us anymore. I respect his decision, because he wants to play, cant fault a guy who wants opportunity right. Practices have picked up, with our first scrimmage right around the corner, oct.31st. Its time to get it started, gonna be one long year. Highlights from last week, my man JJ hit tleaf with a cold step back and sat him down, orlando put big lucas in the rim, he responded with a nasty left hand tip slam of his own though. Jaime has owned the paint the last few days, but when Big Somogyi is on his game he is a lot to handle, i mean cmon he's 7'3 lol. Boswell and jordan have been lights out from 3 and will brew has put clamps on any player wearing a jersey. I think were getting to where we need to be to have a good start to a championship run. Stay tuned for more info on practice and the scrimmage on sunday. Be Blessed. Let this lebron commercial marinate for a few days!!Who will you be in 2010-2011

Kicking off the season
Friday October 15th college teams all over the country got to hit the floor for the first time officially, known all around the country as midnight madness. We got it going with duke to the dome Friday after the soccer team handed it to duke 2-0. Man the introductions were hilarious a couple guys got a chance to show their personality off..handshakes from Jon and Jordan, blew showed his dance skills, and jj thought he could groove. Then my name was called and I didn't know what to do..the dj screamed Nate Garth aka Nate BOOGIE..well let's just say I got a nice bounce pass from the mascot for a easy one hand dunk..Niceeeeee...
As practice got going over the weekend it was evident we are preparing for a great season. Guys have really come in and put forth 100% effort which in turn equates to good practices. There's been a couple guys and plays that have stood out..the blue and the white teams have each given work..but man today blue sure had whites name..nunnally had a nice dunk off a great pass from jj. Oh big Lucas had a nasty tip slam with the left. Nunn made blew hit the ground on a crossover lol, and Orlando has had a few bangouts..just a couple plays that have stood out to me..the team has looked good and I have high hopes
On another note I'm still waiting on this insuance company to get things straight so I can get back out there and play with my new team. I look forward to sharing good times with my teammates and coaches. Hey my bday is in 4daya ayyyy I'll be 21 send some love to SB family..well until next time..
