Classes, Basketball, Boxing and even some Batman fun

Well, Ladies and Gentlemen, I havent been able to welcome you here to Michigan. As you hve probobly guessed...the man is hard at work. Let me give you a little intro in the classes I am taking. First off, remember I am a Sports Management Major. So my classes are:
-Organizational Behavior of Sports Businesses
-Strategy of Sport Businesses
-Economics of Sport Businesses
-Legal aspects of Sport Businesses
-and Rocket Science
the classes are all 3 credits which makes it nice and I even have it set in my schedual so that I can lift three times a week at Crisler when there is no one there. Really nice. Check out my first vid of my new appartment:


Plus baksetball is here of course, so that means many hours in the office and even more at Crisler, doing individuals and gettign the players prepared for practices starting October 16. Basketball has been a real joy lately and it is only going to get better. Infact, my good friend and buddy Chinadu was the one to really push me for writing this post. H emade me promise to post it tonight. So here I am. Everyone say thanks to Chin. He really is a major contributor. We call him 5by5...well, I do at least, cause he si square with his 5 workouts. Fascinating. He loves my blog, checks it every few minutes on his blackberry and loves guessing my spelling errors. Not only that, he recomended putting pictures on the border like here to the left! What a role modle! He will go far, he will indeed, as demonstrated in being an econ major plus managing for the Basketball Team PLUS coaching for the Gabriel Reshard High School Freshman girl´s team for the 3rd year. Awesome. We love you Chin.

Anyhow, lets get to some action. If you remember last time I wrote about the Notre Dame hype. Well, incase you were sleeping in a cave or living ont he dark side of the moon, we won. And we won again and again. The hoosier game was pretty intence, with us comming up from behind and winning in the end amist Forcier hurting his shoulder. Of course after The Notre Dame game Forcier somehow managed to get one vote for the Heisman running...yea, 2 games into his FRESHMAN year...of course. But Whatever. Here are two vids I took at the stadium. Exclusive from the Video. Brought to you by DP Productions.

The Battle of the bands

Michigan pumping up


Now for some more news. You heard about the boxing fun from last post. Well, the specs are out and the fight generated and astonishing $1million pay-per-view buys, which is great for boxing: people are interested. The fight generated $54million in domestic pay-per-view revenue and the live gate made $6,811,300, generated from 12,009 tickets sold. Who´s more efficient?...well, haha yea. Always better to see live but ya know, it comes at a price.

But more exciting Boxing news...after 16 year, Roy Jones and Bernard Hopkins will finally fight again. Wow. Amazing. There were talks of them fighting for a long time but it took forever to negociate the price split. But its pretty genious...50/50. Every heard of that before? But there is an incentive. Descition by Knock Out changes that to 60/40 respectfully. This is gonna be sick. Two old fat men, both over 40, dueling it out like they were little boys. The firght will be early 2010 and will be on HBO PPV. Ill keep you posted.

......................................

And the last bit of news before I start writing the next post haha...the Batmobile. Thats right. I think I have written before about Batmobile type vehicles but this is like pretty much the real deal. It is a $1 million 700hp Batmobile, right in Bruce Wayne´s budget, built over a 1973 Lincoln Continental chassis, and looks rediculously amazing. Too bad the vid didnt show its interior, which apparently is loaded with gadgets, from rear-view cameras to a plasma TV. Anyhow, enjoy the end of this post with this farewell vid. And comment, babby! You too chin! Thanks!

I share a love/hate relationship with virtual memory because of the way prices are always,and I domean always dropping. I hate buying SDs for my R4 / R4i at (seemingly) a crazy bargain price only to see it become 10% cheaper a couple of weeks later.
