This show stars a former Miami Dolphins offensive lineman, Anthony Alabi. It was one of the first hits of my family's pandemic media experience, and I'm interested to see if it still holds my daughter's attention. It's amazing how much she's aged during the pandemic, and I think she might've just aged right out of interest in <i>Family Reunion</i> (and <i>Mighty Ducks</i>, for that matter).

The Bears have outrebounded Gonzaga 36 to 19. The Bears have forced 13 turnovers, while only making 8 of their own. Those differences relate to Baylor's superior athleticism; there's not a lot Gonzaga could do about it. If Baylor hadn't been so hot from the outside -- or if Gonzaga hadn't been so cold -- this would have been a closer game. But it's really hard to win a basketball game when the other team is just bigger and stronger than you.GoHeathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11122010542579322600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1697242053625998558.post-47296402517066914402021-04-05T23:17:00.216-04:002021-04-05T23:17:00.216-04:00Baylor up 80-63 with 4:30 left, and the Bears are ...Baylor up 80-63 with 4:30 left, and the Bears are going to win the national championship.GoHeathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11122010542579322600noreply@blogger.com
