🐾🏀Coug Notes 8

 Well it was a magical season for the wheat field warriors - this was a special Cougs team and the best one since ‘08 - we can build on this for future seasons to come - this should serve as a great recruiting tool! Here are some notes about the final Coug game of this splendid season as they fell to the Iowa State Cyclones in Omaha 67-56. 

• The free throw line was a difference maker today - only 7-9 for the Cougs while the Cykes were 14-17 - also the three point line mattered today (as it always does in modern day hoops) as the Cougs were cold - just 5-23 and the Cyclones were more effective at 7-14. 

• Turnovers were also huge today as the Cougs had 13 (which the Cykes scored 21 points off of) while ISU had just 6 (which the Cougs scored only 4 points from). 

• Wazzu had just 1 fast break point while ISU had 10 - both teams scored 22 points in the paint. 

• WSU had just 10 bench points while ISU had 21.

• Jaylen Wells was just 2-11 from beyond the three point arc although he did score 20 points which led the Cougs - he was 6-6 from two point range. 

Great season Cougs - keep ya heads up and work hard this off-season - we always got next season, folks - Go Cougs!🐾🏀

☕️Morning Cup of Chris 24

 Yasssssss yuzzzz happy Saturday to ya - Look up Grand Canyon University if you haven’t heard of it haha it’s like a phenomenon it’s so cewl haha I can’t believe that game last nite - they had a student section there of like 250-300 students - they were electric - the whole building was cheering for the Lopes vs Saint Mary’s and they came thru - probably a top 10 sporting event I have attended haha at least in the last decade - truly amazing stuff ya gotta watch the highlights - alright now ima talk about GCU after me morning shower here 🚿 

Also when I was at the game I just get a sense of how big the world is - cuz if you include the employees and players and coaches - there were over 12,000 people in Spokane Arena last nite - it felt like everyone in the world was there haha cuz at my store I see the same few hundred people every day - it would take like a lifetime to count to one billion if you accounted for breaks for sleep and food - the world is so immense haha I think the connectivity of the internet makes it seem small but it is so massive and there are so many people haha it is crazy and that also makes me think this blog is huge haha cuz it has over 115,000 views so that’s like if every single person in that place last nite gave it ten views haha - I think 115,000 is actually a pretty big number haha including almost 4k in March already so ya haha I am pretty pumped and pimped out about all of it haha yasssssss good Saturday to ya - be like Brendan Schaub - Don’t ruin Saturday! Haha

👀🏀NBA 3/23: Hot Cason

  🏆Player of the Day ~ Cason Wallace (OKC🤠) ~ 12 pts, 4 reb, 3 oreb, 2 stl, 1 ast, 4/10 fg, 3/5 3 pt, 1/2 ft, 24 min, +14

 The Cougs will be taking on the Iowa State Cyclones in another essential road game in Omaha, Nebraska on Saturday at 3:10 pm PST on TNT - let’s take a closer look at the towering #2 seed the Cougs will face ⬇️ 

• Iowa State University, located in Ames, Iowa and founded on March 22nd in 1858 (happy 164th anniversary today - this is March Madness!) was one of the country’s first land-grant institutions. It currently is home to over 30,000 students, their newspaper is the Iowa State Daily and the mascot’s name is Cy the Cardinal. 

• The Cyclones are (28-7) and won the Big 12 Tournament, defeating the #1 seed Houston Cougars in the championship 69-41. 

• The Cyclones defeated the South Dakota State Jackrabbits 82-65 in the first round, led by a balanced attack of five double digit scorers including two off the bench (Hason Ward and Curtis Jones).

• The Cykes are led in scoring for the season by Junior guard Keshon Gilbert who averages 13.8 points per over 35 games and 30.7 minutes per game.

• State is led on the boards by Senior forward Tre King who averages 5.3 rebounds per over 35 games and 23.3 minutes per game. 

• ISU is led in assists and steals by Sophomore guard Tamin Linsey who averages 4.9 assists per and 2.7 steals per over the course of 34 games and 31.1 minutes per game.

• A fun note is that ISU also has a player named Omaha Biliew who is a sparsely-played Freshman forward out of Waukee, Iowa.

 Yasssss the Cougs pulled out the comeback win over the 10 seed Drake after trailing by 8 points late.

🎲🐾🎰🏀Coug Notes 4

 That was a rough one - the Cougs lost to the Colorado Buffs 58-52 - all good - we should still be a 5 seed in my estimation and 6 at the worst in the NCAA tourney, our first since 2008 - here are just a few notes from this final PAC 12 tourney semi final ⬇️ 

• Both teams shot ice cold from the field - the Buffs were 22/51 (43.1%) and the Cougs 22/52 (42.3%) and from beyond the three point arc just 3/15 (20%) for the Buffs and 4/19 for the Cougs (21.1%).

• The Cougs had 19 turnovers and the Buffs just 12 - the Buffs outscored Wazzu on points off turnovers 16-6…also both teams had just 10 assists. 

• Both teams scored 34 points in the paint and amazingly the Cougs had 0 points on the fast break while the Buffs had just 7.

• The Cougs shot just 7 free throws and made 4 while the Buffs shot 17, making 11…also the Cougs dominance of the boards continued as they had 37 boards to the Buffs’ 29 including 14-10 offensive boards.

• Myles Rice continued to struggle from the perimeter as he went 0-6 from deep and also had 5 turnovers vs only 2 assists - it was a rough game for young Myles and not representative of his magical PAC 12 Freshman of the Year season. 

All good - keep your head up team and keep looking forward - you got this in the NCAA tourney! Chemistry, teamwork, positive attitudes, focus…just do what you did all season, lock in guys, ya got this, squad and GO COUGS!🐾🏀

Yassss what a day so far - already went to Perry Street Brewery with Mom and Dad and 2 walks with Mom - we watched Deal or No Deal Island (with Boston Rob) and are currently watching Traitors UK 🇬🇧 - Cougs play the Colorado Buffs at 730 pm on FS1 - the Buffs are favored! I find that shocking ~ alas go underdog Cougs - enjoy the game to all - check out my Cougs Notes for lil reports on the game - Ma is doing my laundry haha I had a ton - thank you Ma love ya haha 🧺 Loveeeeee it - Arne Pod is my daily podcast as well and Facebook Reels I do daily as well - just did a Channel Surfin segment last nite which was like 50 minutes haha - love it - that one did pretty well with the views - yayyyyyyyyy daily content coming out the Wazzu - I don’t like it when people use Wazzu in that terminology haha I resent that - yoooooooooo go Cougs tonite tho in Vegas 🎲I predict that if the Cougs can make at least seven three pointers like they did last nite (7/22) then they will definitely win - I think we go kind of as our outside shooting goes - Rice has been cold from the perimeter lately - hopefully he can get on track by tournament time - my Dad says Lampkin the big bruiser for Colorado will be a handful for the Cougs interior defenders - Chinyelu is a solid rim protector but he will get pushed around by Lampkin who is like two Chinyelus glued together haha it’s gonna be a great game tonite and I hope the good guys take it home 🐾🏀Go Cougs

☕️Morning Cup of Chris 14

 Yassssssss enjoying listening to Drippin So Pretty on Spotify - tis a good morn and it is 714 in the morn and I do not work until 1055 - got plenty of time to lay down again haha - already got 9+ hours of sleep last nite cuz I went to bed at like 915 - that was noice I really needed that sleep cuz I werk so hard haha yasssssssss listen to my daily podcast Arne Pod - this blog is entirely wayyyyyy more popular than Arne Pod and I wonder why that is - there are several factors tho 

• I started the blog in August 2016 and Arne Pod in February 2019

• You can read a blog anywhere - you have to have headphones or be alone to listen to a podcast (or be a rude person who makes people around them listen to what is on their phone haha those people always blow my mind I am like I could never do that - someone would immediately tell me to turn it off and I would be like “Yes sir I am sorry sir” hahaha 

• Blogs are more widely accessible and relatable - not everyone listens to podcasts but everyone has read something at some point in their life (especially in school).

• Perhaps I am a better writer than podcaster? I like to think that I am pretty funny on the podcast haha but also the blog is less “in your face” and controlling - like a podcast episode is like “I need your attention for the next 23 minutes” but a blog you can read at your own pace at any time, anywhere - blogs are very flexible

• Podcasting has become more competitive - there are probably just as many blogs but according to explodingtopics.com there are 3.2 million podcasts as of February 2024 so that is absolutely crazy haha I can’t believe there are that many - I bet only a couple hundred thousand have more hours of content than Arne Pod tho haha OK I was way wrong - according to bloggingwizard.com there are 600 million blogs on the internet - so that is absolutely bonkers hahahahha wtf I can’t believe that smh 600 million vs 3.2 million - 187.5x more blogs than podcasts in the world - amazing stat hahahaha how are there so many blogs - I wonder how many have at least a thousand posts tho - I am about to do my thousandth post and that will be very exciting.

• My blog simply has good content over the years (so does my podcast tho - both have a varied selection and different eras) - especially NBA fans should check out my blog from the 2022-23 season 🤙🏀

I am super hard working haha and I pride myself on that - I grind for my paycheck! It’s gonna be so sweet when I finally do get a week off someday - man that will be amazing haha my body needs the rest - standing 8+ hours a day is actually super tiring - and that doesn’t include standing outside of work! Just staying strong haha I sleep so hard at night tho cuz I am so exhausted when I get home from werk - I werk hard in everything I do whether it is my job or my creative ventures - I bust my butt haha I love being a hard worker - I am gonna sleep like 10 hours tonite haha cuz don’t start til 11 tomorrow yasssssss right on right on haha thanks for hanging out for a bit - enjoy the hoops games this week & go Cougs on Thursday but enjoy those NBA and college games this evening - a truly amazing time of year to be a hoops fan!

☕️Morning Cup of Chris 13

 Yassss - beautiful morning out there - just did Arne Pod - got Lil Uzi on the Spotify - about to go take a dump and hop in the shower - it’s a great day - sounds weird but the farther I get from being addicted to listening to podcasts, the stronger I feel - it has been over a year since I stopped for 3 months - I haven’t listen much at all in the last year including not for a couple weeks - I used to listen like literally 30 hours a week at least haha and that is probably a low estimate depending on how much time I was working back in the day - in any regard I was spending way too much time doing that and realized that my time is pretty valuable actually (once I got close to turning 30 haha) and I also get to connected to the hosts, like any larger than life figure can kind of trick me into loving them, it’s a good thing I never joined a cult I would be pretty susceptible especially when I moved to LA - I accidentally gave Scientology my phone number when I was waiting in line to sign up for Central Casting when I first moved there in June 2019 - they called me a few times but stopped after a bit haha that was good that I knew not to join that place - but anyway yasssss I get to into the podcasts and too invested in the characters and end up listening too closely and it dominates my brain and takes up all my bandwidth - I find myself to be so much more productive nowadays and it must be because I have so much more time and bandwidth even tho I work a 40 hour week (really 42.5 hours with the unpaid lunch) - I still have time and energy to make my own art cuz I don’t mindlessly dedicate myself as a fanboy haha - I have my OWN art and creative stuff to work on like Arne Pod my daily podcast which I already did this morn yasssssssss happy Tooozdeeeeeee to ya gonna go shower 🚿 and pop 💩

 Think I just figured out why art lives on past the producer of it - because everything in society is preordained by money (who has more of it). Art is the only thing that we make for the heck of it - the only thing not related to the cycle of money - otherwise there is just an endless money circle that happens day in and day out where the lower class people serve the upper class people in some fashion - everything in society is determined by class and money other than the creation of art (which can be made simply for a lark or to represent a larger meaning as a metaphor) - other than that art, the only thing there is in society is one person doing labor for some amount of money (probably too low) indefinitely, five days a week, eight hours a day, and the person who does the least amount of work gets the most, etc. - such is life haha

Art is the only thing we make as humans that lives outside of that cyclical nature of money. The most human thing that people make (art) is the only thing that outlives money (which doesn’t matter much when you are gone - in your obituary - “and he was pretty good with his money - a bit thrifty!” Haha no, no one cares about that when you are gone - that stuff only matters when you are here haha - so yes, art outlives humans, always 

Basically money installs a “Groundhog Day Effect” on the minds of humans and the only thing that snaps us out of the loop is amazing art 🖼️ 🤷‍♀️

 Just did my daily 🏀NBA post - yassssss. I am grateful for today as I type this - sometimes I think I am just tired - trying to practice turning my brain off - like I have a burlap sack that says “Thoughts” on the front and I just picture that and say I am not going to think anything because they will all be located in that sack - that is my strategy lately haha along with repeating a mantra - also just remembering that I smoked weed which can make you overthink obviously haha - so as long as you remember that then you can conquer it - thinking generally is not productive, I think doing, acting and reacting leads to happiness but not thinking - you aren’t like Einstein, you don’t get paid to think, I literally don’t have to think at all at my job, everything is just a repeated action or I am reacting to a situation- I think thought was something that humans were given an extra dose of haha like we don’t have to be so pensive and sensitive at least for me haha, Pensive and Sensitive sounds like the worst morning radio show duo ever tho haha - also my blog as been Mary Poppin lately - it literally gets like 10x the attention that my podcast does - so I am going to be doing short podcast episodes from now on, like under 10 minutes - I should put more energy and resources towards this blog since it is giving me the largest return right now - also my Facebook is poppin’ so check that out and yasssssssssssss smile and go listen to some Adam Sandler on Spotify or watch one of his movies - what a great American man.

It is March 6th and it is 20 degrees outside right now - all I can say is at least the sun is out - it is 12 degrees below the March average low which is 32 - the average high in Spokane in March is 51 so it should be warming up pretty soon here - ready for the cold weather to end (at least until October😎). Yasssss really enjoying writing on this blog a lot again - good times all around - getting close to the thousandth post milestone which will be exciting. Go Cougs tomorrow in the Apple Cup of hoops in Pullman. Also - wow the Broncos let go of Russell Wilson - wonder if he might retire soon - he is 35 which isn’t too old for a QB nowadays but he has faded a lot since leaving Seattle - wonder who he would play for, like who needs a QB? Why am I talking about the NFL so much on March 6th tho? They tricked me haha ESPN wants you to do just that - too much NFL year-round coverage haha I’m all hoops this time of year - also getting pumped for baseball season - go Mariners! ⚾️

Haha this Spokane winter weather is bonkers (also just saw some people running, training for Bloomsday, as my dad would say, it seems pretty freezing to be running now tho). It snowed, hailed and was sunny yesterday all in the span of an hour - make up your mind, Mother Nature!

Now I am taking a big ol’ poop and about to go sleep an hour more - frigid winter mornings like this make me wanna get cozy and be like, “Yasssssss I am so cozy with this blanket - this is a good day to be a Chris.” 😎

☕️Morning Cup of Chris 4

 Go Cougs🐾🏀Yasssssss what a great win - now that I see the Cougs shot 22 more free throws than UCLA, I have a sneaking suspicion that the refs were just trying to get outta the Palouse safely - those farmers are feisty. 

It was a great game to watch and I am so happy the Cougs won - it would have really stunk if we lost that one haha - but we saw a great W 77-65 - kudos to Jaylen Wells and Myles Rice for leading the way. 

I am also very happy to be doing the blog again so much - I am looking forward to doing my thousandth post in the coming days - hadn’t been doing the blog much for the past few months but realized I could switch it up and make it anything I wanted - kinda like quick notes that I post before Arne Pod (which I am gonna record in an hour or so - don’t work til 11 today and it’s only 710).

Go Cougs! And go Arne Pod - just did a sweet Sweet Child Of Mine cover for you GNR lovers out there🌹

🐾🏀Coug Notes

 Just a few notes about today’s 77-65 victory over the UCLA Bruins which I attended with my dad

• We shot 22 more free throws ~ the Cougs were 24/33 from the line while UCLA was 9/11 ~ UCLA had 24 fouls while Wazzu had 13 ~ home cookin’ on the Palouse? The refs were probably scared ~ there were some intense farmers in the crowd ~ there was like a hat rack for pitchforks in the lobby. 

• The only Cougs who made more than 3 field goals were Jaylen Wells and Myles Rice (7/16 and 8/15 respectively and respectfully).

• Both teams had just 6 bench points and there were only 14 assists and 15 turnovers total in the game. 

• The Cougs outrebounded UCLA 39-24 including 16-6 in offensive boards. 

• Rueben Chinyelu was the only Coug starter to play less than 31 minutes (he played 18). Also the Cougs only played 39 bench minutes.

 ❄️☃️Wow it snowed again - just was researching average snowfall this morning. It snows more here in Spokane than most Midwest cities - that surprises me because i thought it snowed more in those places - I have only been to the Midwest once - in June of 2007 with my cousin Matt and Grandma Arne - we went on a baseball road trip bus tour that went Minneapolis-Milwaukee-both Chicago stadiums-St. Louis-Kansas City. It was epic! I don’t think you would really consider Rapid City, South Dakota the Midwest (it’s in the far West part of the state) but I have been there on a road trip with my dad the last couple summers to visit Grandma Arne and Aunt Joc and Uncle Lane. 

One of the snowiest places in the USA is Holden Village, Washington (which I was just researching). It’s kinda like the Midsommar of central Washington - a secluded planned Lutheran community (maybe a cult? Who knows haha) located northwest of Lake Chelan - it is only accessible by ferry on Lake Chelan or like the Bill Bryson book, by a walk in the woods. It gets 274 inches of annual snowfall and is the 9th snowiest place in the country according to currentresults.com ⛄️ 

Anyway I’m about to do today’s episode of Arne Pod - enjoy! ☕️

 Yasssssss Cougs bebe - we are winning games that a great team would pull out this season. I am having a fun Friday morning (which is my Saturday) - just counted up all my pennies. For some reason, I had 206 of them, so that was cewl - I tossed them in a zip-loc sack and wrote on it in purple marker, “Pennies 4 the People”. Then I took that zip-loc sack and walked it a block over to the nearest Lil Free Library and put it in there amongst the paperbacks and hard covers. So that was a fun lil “design your own adventure” kinda thing to do at 8 am on your Saturday morning. 

Looking forward to watching Traitors today and going to the Cougs game tomorrow afternoon with my father in which they host the UCLA Bruins - let’s go Cougs!
