My thoughts by Paul M. Dugan

The weather is pretty awesome at this time in northern Virginia at this time. Sunny & little breeze in the wind around 60's - 70's earlier today.  Our dogs love this weather and hope it stay's this way also.  Have a lovely evening too.

I haven't watch much sports events this weekend to get away from terrible real news. Weather: It's sunny, cool and chilly after cold rain was here for two to three of that.   For the last two nights we ate homemade yummy shrimp gumbo that mom made. I hope to mowing the lawn this week.  Our lawn looks like a bad British open course for golf was here. It's ok if you don't read my blog since not everyone is on social media like Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.  Those are the ones I use beside my blog I use. Why so much fighting sports lately?  I see in NFL, NHL, NBA and other sports there is so much of it. I think they need to clean it up because they aren't boxing or mma fighting.  It's hard for me to watch your sport if it to clean so I can enjoy it more.  Take care too...

Here in #WashDC the #WHCD is happening when the #PresidentObama speaks after #scholarships were giving out. Go #USA!!!!!!! #WhiteHouse & #BarackObama!!!!!!

Well it's in 50 degrees F, sunny and windy outside today.  How is your weather in your area?  I see the NBA playoffs and NHL playoffs on the same time.  MLB is also on to for TV viewers.  So much watch so it's good that my iPhone keeps me update with all of it at my fingertips.  Take care too.

#WeAreND!!!!! #ProudToBeND!!!!! #ND #FightingIrish rock on!!!!!! #GoIrish!!!!!!!! Yeah ##NDFootball or #NDFB, #NDMBB & #NDWBB did a #fabulous job this 2014-2015 season. More info about their sports from this link:   http://www.und.com/ More info on how great both women & men basketball teams did the season on & off the court:   detailed article

On a note that #GenoAuriemma  (won ten titles in ncaa women basketball) is a equal toward to #JohnWooden (won ten titles in ncaa men basketball) is a crock in my book because I don't think geno could coach a men team in any level because the players got egos, their bigger, stronger, taller and etc. is too much for a coach who coaches the ladies. Coaching women college basketball is a different animal then the men's all together. If you don't think of that is right your a idiot in my book  altogether. I heard stories that the #ncaa doesn't give crap about someone after injures in sports after they graduate from school and that person can't play that sport anymore. I saw this great espiode on #realsports on #hbo told me some strange things about them - #HBORealsports or #Realsportshbo. I hope women are getting their education while at school when playing a sport are doing it the right way because schools are willing to do what ever win a title at any cost in my book.

I am a very big fan of the #NDMBB & #NDWBB for #ND but the bad #refs and #idiot #commenters - #cbs, #cbssports, #espn, #espnw for #MarchMadness & #ncaawff on getting who you wanted to #win the title as you directed.  #ncaa suck it!!! #WeAreND, #ProudToBeND, #FightingIrish and #GoIrish!!!!!!!!!! Link to the game:   http://www.und.com/

#NCAA - #NCAAWomensBKB - I felt from the start in the #ncaawff that #NDWBB weren't going to get the calls versus them when the refs aren't calling a great games at this time during the tournament!!!!! If you don't like what I am saying about it I don't give a dam what you think.  A foul is foul dumb spineless ref. #GoIrish!!!!! #WeAreND!!! #ProudToBeND!!! #FightingIrish rocks on!!!!! #ND did pretty great getting there too.  #ForItAll!!!!!! The game was on #espn - #espnw!! Bull crap results:   Link:   http://www.und.com/sports/w-baskbl/recaps/040715aaa.html

Yeah #NCAA #sports for info about a law in #Indiana state in the U.S.A.:   link info The Indiana law is effected or maybe for 2016 ncaa women basketball final four:   details . More details on five bold predictions for the Men's Final Four .   Indiana Law took over the Final Four over all .  This one & done for Men ncaa basketball is getting old for me because the ncaa should say three years or four year at a college before heading to the nba level . Oh boy the weather is crazy just warm & nice then warm with some nasty rain ruin the week before Easter weekend with both men & women ncaa basketball final four events happening on opposite days. More details on how ND WOMEN & MEN BASKETBALL did this season with a few links here:   ND combined basketball teams effort ,   preview of ND women basketball game in the final four ,   ND women basketball press ,   details for men basketball after the results ,  #JerianGrant awards info - NOTRE DAME ,  Fighting Iri
