I hate to write off Alabama already, but it certainly isn't looking good for the basketball team this season. They were already having a sub-par season compared to the stats on paper, but now, one of their star players (Chuck Davis) is out for the season presumably with an ACL tear. Can this season end quick enough? It's doubtful the team will make it to the SEC tournament, let alone the NIT or NCAA tournament. However, no one wants to step up and take the blame. Coach Gottfried blames their lack of success on the schedule. Apparently, the schedule was created based on two team members who are no longer on the team. WHAT??? Who in their right mind creates a schedule based on two players? How about you point the finger at yourself Coach? How many times have you kept the team in a 2-3 zone defense only to have the other team shred it and take a double digit lead? Let's blame the players for not making shots. Where are the 3-point shooters? Jean Felix is shooting .241 from behind the arc compared to .453 last year.

The bright side to Saturday's game was my seat. With most of the students still on break, I was able to sit courtside for the game. I had a great view of the game and was able to heckle with the rest of the students. To top it off, I was right behind the cheerleaders and right beside the dance team. As fun as that sounds, it's a little annoying when the guy cheerleaders hold up their megaphones. It's like trying to peep through signs at a wrestling event, but it's a small price to pay. If the team keeps its losing ways, I may be able to snag one of these seats again.

To start your week off, I have a review of The Chronicles of Narnia: the Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe in Now Playing. Give it a read to help plan your weekend.
