Rounds @ MindSay


 

   
Training rounds right outside my back yard!

Today my son found training rounds right in my back yard! How sweet, huh? What fool leaves any kind of ammo laying on the ground??? I dont' much care if it is training or not ... given the fact that I can tell a little bit of a difference on it. But I was still a bit upset over it, seeing I live in military housing. WTF was it doing there.

Off to the MP station I go, they varify what I already know ... take my address. That is all. What a complete waist of my time ... lucky for me it wasn't anything serious. After all, I consider that type of inconsideration to rank with idiots.

 

I know when things are going on that it busy, but any kind of ammo needs to be watched. And there is no reason for it to be any where near housing. I was complete shocked when my son found it ... but more blown off by how the MP's handled it. 'Oh it just this. Have a nice day.'

I did everything I could to make sure that my kids didn't tell a single person around us, put them in a zippy bag, inside my purse ... & took them to the MP station.  (I know a live round & those weren't) Had I called the MP's to my house then there would have been a huge issue because the other families would have had a royal case of the ass over any one having any type of rounds/ammo that close to housing. Now had they been live -- screw them all I would have called them down there & pitched one hell of a fit.

All in all ... I guess how they USE to do things are different from how they are doing things now. Cause when I was a kid, they took a bit more serious. This time they just seemed to blow it off ...

 
 
   
 

Texas Longhorns, NCAA Football and Basketball champions?
No school in NCAA history has ever won both the men's football and basketball championships in the same season. Sportsbook.com odds makers think Texas has a legitimate shot at doing just that and is offering fans the chance to bet on the feat, with odds set at 35-1. Ranked second in the AP poll, the Longhorns football team has posted a perfect record so far and seems destined to clash with USC in the championship deciding Rose Bowl in January. Should Vince Young and his squad pull off the win then all the pressure will shift to head coach Rick Barnes' basketball team.

The Longhorns hoops squad enters this season with its highest ever ranking in a national poll. They are currently number three according to ESPN/USA Today and sit behind only Duke and Connecticut with odds at 12-1 at Sportsbook.com to March to victory come NCAA tournament time.

"Never in NCAA history has a school won both of these championships in the same year", said Alex Czajkowski, Marketing Director, Sportsbook.com. "The Longhorns have been close to the top in both sports for so long; this could be the year that everything comes together. Everybody loves to bet on NCAA football and basketball, I think our players and Longhorn fans everywhere will be excited to get in on a piece of history."

A win by both teams would be historic and sentimental. Texas has always been considered football country, but Barnes has put together a team made up mostly of in-state talent hoping to raise the popularity of basketball to the same dizzying heights that football enjoys.

"It would be a great story if it happened, and a tremendous achievement for the University of Texas," added Czajkowski.

 
 
 

   
Oklahoma Stuns Stanford
DURHAM, N.C. -- J.J. Redick started a rally late in the first half and finished with 29 points, leading top-ranked Duke over Davidson.

Redick shot 10-for-18, including 4-for-6 from 3-point range as the Blue Devils (3-0) took a break from the NIT Season Tip-Off and beat Davidson in its season opener.

It's the 19th straight victory for Duke in the series, and the 28th in 29 outings in Cameron Indoor Stadium. Davidson's only victory in Durham came in coach Mike Krzyzewski's second season.

Shelden Williams missed a triple-double by one blocked shot. He finished with 20 points on 8-for-13 shooting, 10 rebounds and nine blocks.

Lee Melchionni scored 16 points for Duke, which shot 55.6 percent from the field.

Ian Johnson scored 13 of his 19 points in the second half for Davidson.


No. 6 Oklahoma 68, Samford 41

NORMAN, Okla. -- Kevin Bookout scored 13 points and grabbed 10 rebounds and Michael Neal added 15 points on five 3-pointers to help No. 6 Oklahoma beat Samford.

Oklahoma opened the second half with a 22-5 run and led 49-22 after Nate Carter's reverse layup with 9:59 to play.

Taj Gray, whose only basket of the first half was a dunk that gave the Sooners a 27-17 halftime lead, scored Oklahoma's first six points of the second half and Carter -- who left the game briefly in the first half with an injury -- also scored six points in the run. He finished with 10 points.

J. Robert Merritt had 15 points to lead Samford and Randall Gulina added 12.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. -- Juan Palacios had 16 points and 11 rebounds to lead No. 7 Louisville past Tennessee-Martin in the season opener for both teams.

Taquan Dean had a poor shooting day but still finished with 18 points, nine rebounds and five assists for Louisville, which -- except for an exhibition game Sunday -- will be off until Dec. 3.

The win was the 450th at the college level for Louisville coach Rick Pitino, who's also coached at Boston University, Providence and Kentucky.

Jeremy Kelly scored a career-high 31 points for Tennessee-Martin, which finished 6-21 last season and did not qualify for the Ohio Valley Conference tournament.
