Small School Victories Over Bigs

CEDAR CITY, Utah -- Last night the Southern Utah University womens basketball team defeated the BYU Cougars at home inside the America First event center.

This was a big victory for the Lady Thunderbird coming off a three-game losing streak in California. It was also a moral boost and momentum shift for the team. As this shows a small school like SUU is able to compete with tops school.

The significance of this also shows that the team has the tools to grab more victories and even make it to the big tournament. Winning this big in front of a home crowd gives the Ladys the confidence the need to begin a winning streak against upcoming big schools.

All this goes to prove that on any given day anyone could win and anyone could lose. It's in every team that's ever competed against big schools. The talent is there, there just needs to be heart. Give that extra ounce of breathe to get that loose ball or make the final run to get the block.

Small schools should't be intimidated by big schools because at the end of the day all schools train just as hard, sweat just as much and are humans just like they are. If you want to win, then got out there and grab it.

Let's Taco It Down South

Tacos From the South -- They say that the closer you get to the boarder down south the better the food tastes. I would agree, the ingredients carry more of a natural aspect about it that hasn't been manipulated. Most of the peppers as picked right from the backyard and put straight into the salsas. This will carry into the topic I want to discuss today which is the Mania of tacos from Mexico. The Rule of Three - Just like the mariachi bands that usually come in three, when you order tacos in mexico you usually order them in 3's. For starters it makes the taqueros job easier and secondly you fight the temptation of eating more then you have to. Needless to say if you look at the taco belly's of many Mexicans its safe to say that 3 rule doesn't work.
