Syracuse/Georgetown was a great game yesterday! Not because Syracuse won. Rather because Syracuse played its best ball of the season so far. Against a competent and able Georgetown team.
Syracuse won 80-68.
Syracuse has improved with each game. Hope they keep improving. Still have a ways to go. However yesterday was the best yet. Syracuse’s defense was effective the entire game. The team’s offense exceptional in the second half.
The defense kept Georgetown’s 3 point shooting the lowest for the season at 19.2 percent.
Syracuse is now 7-3. Their next game next Sunday at 1 pm against Oregon.
An unusual factor I may have advised in an earlier blog also. There was a time that a group of Syracuse fans followed me where ever I was watching the game. Anywhere from 10-20 would show up. It was Syracuse party time!
No more. Yesterday, I was the only Syracuse fan at Jack Flats watching the game.
Florida has always been a haven for sea fish, etc. who become sick in other waters. Sea turtles an example. It happened again. Frigid Cape Cod waters have affected turtles. Especially Kemp’s ridley sea turtles. Fifty two were “cold stunned” and flown to 4 separate turtle facilities in Florida for saving and rehabilitation. Once recovered and Cape Cod waters become suitable to their existence, they will be returned to their natural waters.
In 1867, former Confederacy Presidnet Jefferson Davis stopped in Key West on his way to Havana where “he was going for his health.” He was not a favorite son of the Union at the time.
Actor Ryan O’Neal has died. He was 82 years old. One of his most famous roles was as the sorrowful young husband in Love Story. He received a Best Actor nomination for the part.
I missed the Christmas Boat Parade last night. Don’t feel comfortable doing a boat with the cane. Neither can I stand on shore long with the cane. Legs can’t handle it.
So I missed again what is a great Key West holiday experience. Hope many of you heeded my advice and signed up to be on one of the boats.
Trump is scheduled to testify tomorrow in his own defense in the New York civil fraud case. He will initially be questioned by his own attorneys.
The Army-Navy football game was decided by one inch yesterday. It was the final play of the game. A second or two remaining on the clock. Navy was on Army’s 2 yard line. A touchdown meant a Navy victory. Come up short and Navy would lose. Everything was “on the line.”
It was 4th down.
Navy tried a “tush push” quarterback sneak. Came up one inch short. Army won!
