Ain't No Mountain Low Enough

What the hell am I talking about? One of my friends actually asked me, "Shouldn't it be ain't no mountain high enough?" C'mon! I know what I am saying. I am not retarded. What I am trying to say is that there is nothing in life that is easy enough for my liking. Everything is just so damn hard at the moment. I thought I was gonna get a break with this easy semester, well guess what, God or whoever he is has a funny way of getting back at you. I have 12 hours of classes a week, a schedule that is the envy of every engineer on campus (I would say every student but then we have management majors here:P)

But I had to take Number Theory (Math 311) which is hard as heck. There's like so much crap that I don't even know and I thought I was done with proofs after Real Analysis (Math 308), but NO NO NO... I was far from done. Now instead of proving stuff about real numbers, I have to prove stuff about positive integers. How fun is that?

Another disappointment is Mathematical Statistics (Math 304). What the hell is this insanely difficult assignments. There are more proofs in that class too! Why, why, why me? Dammit... who in the world needs to know the maximum likelihood estimator of the sample distribution parameter? Do you even know what I am talking about? Gosh... Save Our Souls!!

The Big Debate

The biggest debate in Bucknell right now is, "What do you do when you have to inbound the basketball when you are up 2 points with 2.8 seconds remaining?" Naming no names *ahem* DB *ahem* one of the guys in our men's basketball team chucked the ball right to the other end of the court with no one in sight. No one managed to even come close to touching the ball and hence the clock did not start. Northen Iowa inbounded from under Bucknell's basket and scored a 2 to tie the game. Bucknell eventually lost in double overtime.

How pissed are you as a Bucknellian? Some are pissed while others are disappointed. There are 1001 things anyone could have done. But due to time and space constraints, I shall provide you with my personal top 5.

5. Call a timeout (Bucknell had 2 remaining timeouts)
4. Chuck the ball up wherever and cause a free for all on the ball. (It's only 2.8 seconds)
3. Bring all your men up court and chuck it right there and cause a free for all. (Even if they get it, they need to bring the ball up court before they shoot)
2. Chuck it straight at an opposing team member and let it go out of bounds again
1. CHUCK THE BALL REALLY REALLY REALLY HARD at an opposing team member. (There's no way he can catch that)

All in all, a disappointing loss for Bucknell. Bye bye top 25.
