Takin' Care Of Business

You get up every morning

From your 'larm clock's warning

Take the 8:15 into the city

There's a whistle up above

And people pushin', people shovin'

And the girls who try to look pretty

And if your train's on time

You can get to work by nine

And start your slaving job to get your pay

If you ever get annoyed

Look at me I'm self-employed

I love to work at nothing all day

And I'll be

If you could make sounds loud or mellow

Get a second-hand guitar

Chances are you'll go far

If you get in with the right bunch of fellows

Just a-lying in the sun

Tell them that you like it this way

Got Me Under Pressure

She likes wearin' lipstick, she likes French cuisine

but she won't let me use my passion unless it's in a limousine.

She got me under pressure,

she got me under pressure.

She likes the art museum, she don't like Pavlov's dog.

She fun at the mind museum, she likes it in a London fog.

She don't like other women, she likes whips and chains.

She likes cocaine and filppin' out with great Danes.

She's about all I can handle, it's too much for my brain.

It's got me under pressure,

It's got me under pressure.

I'm gonna give her a message,

here's what I'm gonna say:

"It's all over."

She might get out a nightstick

and hurt me real real bad

by the roadside in a ditch. 

It's got me under pressure,

it's got me under pressure.

It's got me under pressure,

it's got me under pressure.

Legs

She's got legs, she knows how to use them.

She never begs, she knows how to choose them.

She's holdin' leg wonderin' how to feel them.

Would you get behind them if you could only find them?

She's my baby, she's my baby,

yeah, it's alright.

She's got hair down to her fanny.

She's kinda jet set, try undo her panties.

Everytime she's dancin' she knows what to do.

Everybody wants to see if she can use it.

She's so fine, she's all mine,

girl, you got it right.

She's got legs, she knows how to use them.

She never begs, she knows how to choose them.

She's got a dime all of the time,

stays out at night movin' through time.

Oh, I want her, said, I got to have her,

the girl is alright, she's alright.

Change

You walked in to the room.

I just had to laugh.

The face you wore was cool.

You were a photograph.

When it's all too late...

It's all too late...

I did not have the time.

I did not have the nerve

To ask you how you feel.

Is this what you deserve?

When it's all too late...

It's all too late...

Change.

You can change.

Change.

You can change.

And something on your mind

Became a point of view.

I lost your honesty.

You lost the life in you.

When it's all too late...

It's all too late...

We walk and talk in time.

I walk and talk in two.

Where does the end of me

Become the start of you?

When it's all too late...

It's all too late...

Change.

You can change.

Change.

You can change.

What has happened to

The friend that I once knew?

Has he gone away?

When it's all too late...

It's all too late...

Change...

Change.

You can change.

Change.

You can change...

Melbourne Victory Women: 2013-14 Westfield W-League Champions

Melbourne Victory star midfielder Jess Fishlock and coach Dave Edmondson have hailed the home side’s performance after securing a deserved maiden Westfield W-League grand final win.

Goals late in the first half from Lisa De Vanna and Lauren Barnes proved enough for the Victory to earn a relatively comfortable win on home turf and overcome the disappointment of last year’s grand final loss.

Inspirational Victory midfielder Fishlock was named player of the match after setting up the first goal and providing a typical high-energy performance in the midfield.

“I thought we were outstanding, and put in one of the best performances of the season,” said Fishlock.

“To win a final 2-0, and what I would was quite comfortable in the end, is a great great achievement.

“The most important thing for me is that won. The player of the match is nice but completely secondary to winning the title. I’m really happy for the girls, they all really deserve this.

“I know what this means to the girls. And I’m really happy for Stephanie Catley to win as captain at such a young age, which is just brilliant.”

The match also proved a fitting finale for outgoing Melbourne coach Dave Edmondson who now returns to his native England to take the reins of leading English Super League outfit Bristol Academy.

“This was all about hard work, and we put hard work in all year, so it was about continuing that today,” said Edmondson.

“The goals made the second half relatively comfortable. I thought it was an all-round strong performance from us. I never really felt nervous and that was credit to the girls.

“A loss in a final is pretty devastating and they have probably learnt from it (last year’s defeat).

“There is plenty of growth in this team yet. Who is to say Melbourne can’t be a force for the next ten (years).”

Issues at Nutopia Sports?

In January, I told you that there were issues regarding my status on Utopia College Sports. That site has since been scrapped. Well, now in the new forum, Nutopia Sports, I am getting this message:

One of the things about Nutopia Sports is that is has this feature called discouraging users, since it uses the XenForo feature. Check it out here. Now I am hoping that I am not being discouraged, because most of my posts have been focused on my offline dynasty writing. Currently I'm working on the 2021 Pony Conference season. But if there really is an issue with the site and it doesn't have to do with me being discouraged (i.e., maintenance work, actual server attack, etc.), that's a totally different story.

EDIT: I just got a message from my buddy Travis Rounsaville about this. He says:

It is down for routine maintenance this evening for a couple of hours. CMQ
made a news forum post about it, but I don't hink everyone saw it.

All right, well that makes a whole lot more sense. Maintenance work it is.

Michigan State: 2013-14 Big Ten Men's Basketball Champions

INDIANAPOLIS -- Adreian Payne scored 18 points and Gary Harris and Branden Dawsonadded 15 each to lead No. 22 Michigan State to its second Big Ten tournament title in three years with a 69-55 upset of No. 8 Michigan on Sunday.

The third-seeded Spartans (26-8) are getting healthy and will have some momentum entering the NCAA tournament with four wins in five games.

Top-seeded Michigan (25-8) was led by Big Ten player of the year Nik Stauskas with 17 points and Derrick Walton Jr. had 11, but the Big Ten regular season champs had their seven-game winning streak come to an end.

It was never really close.

Michigan State took control with an early 12-0 run, led 38-29 at halftime and opened the second half with an 8-0 spurt to make it 46-29.

Michigan never got closer than 10 points again.

The Spartans had lost their previous two meetings with Michigan this season but weren't about to lose again Sunday.

For the first time all season, Michigan State started the same five players for a fifth straight game. Harris, who hurt his left shoulder early in the second half, returned later.

Harris, an Indiana native who never got to play for a state basketball title at Bankers Life Fieldhouse, took advantage of this opportunity. He scored 13 of his 15 points in the first half. Dawson, another Indiana native who was named the tournament's Most Outstanding Player, scored 10 of his 15 points in the second half.

Michigan State has four tournament titles since the Big Ten started the event in 1998.

Michigan, meanwhile, will be waiting to see if this ugly loss could cost it a No. 1 seed in next week's NCAA tournament.

The Wolverines, who narrowly escaped with wins in the quarterfinals and semifinals, were not their usually strong shooting selves as they played for the third time in three days. They avoided matching their season-low point total when Zak Irvin hit a 3 with 15.9 seconds to go and their shooting percentage (31.5) nearly matched a season low, too. Michigan shot 31.1 percent from the field in a 63-61 loss to Charlotte on Nov. 24. And they were outrebounded 38-28.

Michigan's problems started early.

The Spartans went on a 12-0 run to take a 16-9 lead -- and never gave it up.

They led by as much as 25-14 in the first half, getting Michigan's top two big men -- Jordan Morgan and Jon Horford -- into early foul trouble. Coach John Beilein even was called for a technical foul midway through a dreadful half.

Harris finished it off emphatically by taking a pass at midcourt and driving right through Michigan's defense for a one-handed dunk to make it 38-29.

Things didn't get any better for Michigan in the second half.

Michigan State scored the first eight points to make it 46-29, then closed it out with a late 10-4 run that extended the lead to 69-52.

Florida: 2013-14 Southeastern Conference Men's Basketball Champions

ATLANTA -- Top-ranked Florida capped a perfect run through the Southeastern Conference when Kentucky failed to get off a shot on its final possession, allowing the Gators to escape with a 61-60 victory in the league championship game Sunday.

Florida (32-2) built a 16-point lead early in the second half, but Kentucky nearly pulled off an improbable comeback to hand the Gators their first loss since early December. Two missed free throws gave the Wildcats (24-10) a final possession, but James Young slipped trying to drive into the lane.

The Gators extended their school-record winning streak to 26 games and awaited a sure No. 1 seed when the NCAA pairings are announced Sunday evening. Patric Young andMichael Frazier II led Florida with 14 points apiece, while Scottie Wilbekin and Casey Pratherhad 11 each.

Kentucky, also headed for the NCAAs, was paced by Aaron Harrison with 16 points.

Louisiana-Lafayette: 2013-14 Sun Belt Men's Basketball Champions

NEW ORLEANS -- Xavian Rimmer scored a career-high 27 points, Louisiana-Lafayette rallied from a 9-point deficit in the last three minutes of regulation to force overtime and the Ragin' Cajuns beat Georgia State 82-81 in the Sun Belt Conference championship game Sunday.

The third-seeded Ragin' Cajuns (23-11) earned an automatic bid to their first NCAA tournament since 2005.

Ryan Harrow scored a career-high 37 points for Georgia State but missed an off-balance, driving bank shot in the final seconds. The top-seeded Panthers (25-7) had won 22 of their last 23 games.

After tying the score on a putback with 1.4 seconds left in regulation, Lafayette, which grabbed 20 offensive rebounds, took the lead for good, 80-77, with a 6-0 run in overtime that Elfrid Payton capped off with a layup off a Georgia State turnover.

Rimmer hit seven 3-pointers to keep UL-Lafayette within range until its final comeback.
