Taking a shot with the NBA

I am going to pick a NBA team in a intersting way.

This NBA season will be the first season I watch. I have seen a couple of games in the past, but not followed the league throughout the whole season. I have previously only followed the NFL. I do have a favorite NFL team, but I know a lot about the league in general as well. However, I think it is time for me to add a new sport. The interesting way I am going to select my team is something I originally joked about to a friend. I talked about it and decided let's just see what happens. I decided to DM on twitter every NBA team that had their DM's open. I asked a very simple question:

This is my first season watching the NBA. Why should I become a fan of this team?

This would be final too. I do not bandwagon in sports. Once I choose a team I am a fan for life. Loyalty is important even in sports. Take the NFL team I follow, the Carolina Panthers. I know there are pictures of me as a small child in Carolina Panthers gear. I am still a fan through all the rough years with losing seasons. As well as two Super Bowl appearances both of them being losses. I would remain loyal to this team throughout any season that happens. The teams that I was able to contact were surprisingly few. There were only four teams that had their DM's open.

1. The Portland Trailblazers

2. The Phoenix Suns

3. The Milwaukee Bucks

4. The Houston Rockets

At the time of this writing, I have not heard back from any of these teams. It is a shot in the dark, I know that. If something does happen though I will be surprised. I will also update this with the results.

Fingers Crossed. Let's see what happens.

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
