Blogging with Blake (OFN)

Michael Beasley is having an incredible year for Kansas State.  Some people say he's the best player in the country.  It's hard for me to argue that. It's difficult to say who the best is just because there are so many players who are good for their team.  Tyler Hansbrough for North Carolina comes to mind.  But I definitely put Beasley in my top three players in the country.  And I definitely think he's the best freshman.
 
It was a lot of fun playing against Beasley when K-State came here in January, especially because he's about my size.  He's a really good scorer, so it's a lot of fun to defend someone like that.  On the other end, it's just as fun to go at someone as good as him.  We were always guarding each other last spring at the McDonald's All-America practices and we got along well, so I was really looking forward to playing against him here at our place.  It turned out to be a great game.  Unfortunately, it just didn't quite go our way in the end.
 
He's a funny guy and we were going back and forth with each other the whole day.  It wasn't anything hostile, just friendly exchanges between plays.  Every time I went to the free throw line he would joke that he'd give me money if I missed it.  He started at $5 on the first one and he ended up going all the way to $1 million later in the game.  I was 7-for-13 from the line that day, so maybe I need to give him a call.

In my first blog about a month ago, I commented that I wasn't a big fan of Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama. But since then I've been doing a little more research. I've read some things on the Internet on Obama and the more I read the more I kind of like him and his policies. I researched his education and what he stands for. He's obviously a smart guy. I might have to cast a vote for him. We'll see. I need to do some research on John McCain, too. I want to be informed before I make my final decision.
