Little Ole Gonzaga!

Hey friends it's Oz here for a local edition of The Oz Files. Leah has decided to clean tonight but ha anyways it's all good in the hood sons and daughters of the land of Oz. Um Leah says that tonight's blog is local sports: What is my favorite team and sport to watch that is local? This can include any minor league sports teams or local college teams. Also where do I watch the games of the team of my choosing? Well friends this will be a fun one to write about. There are a few teams here in town that are worthy choices. You got the Spokane Chiefs your local favorite Western Hockey League team. First of all they are always very good and you will never leave a game disappointed with the fights! The Spokane Chiefs won the Memorial Cup last year meaning that they were the best junior hockey team in North America. For the football lovers out there we have the Spokane Shock. The A2 football team who are so amazing playing football arena style! You got a smaller field and you got boards you can push people into it and it's quite electric just went to the game last night solid win. The games are high scoring and whoever has the ball at the end of the game will most likely win! The Shock are pretty new to Spokane only been here for like 3 years or maybe it's 4 but it's pretty new and pretty damn successful. In the summer time you have one of my favorites the Spokane Indians oh yes I won't go into the whole scam but yes the Spokane Indians are my favorite minor league team to watch but aren't' the top choice! Going to a Spokane Indians baseball game there is nothing like it. Families comes to Avisita Stadium to take in the great atmosphere and take in the awesomeness that is Indians baseball. The Spokane Indians are traditionally really really solid every year! It's time to make the big reveal who is Oz's favorite local team? People who know me will not be shocked when I say it's none other than those GONZAGA BULLDOGS! Yes, My favorite local team without a doubt is the Men's College Basketball team. I've been a fan since 1997 so yes I've been a fan before people jumped on the wagon. I remember the days of Dennis Patchin on the call for the games on the radio. His famous line was ARE YOU KIDDING ME! Wow Patching love it so epic. People who don't' like Gonzaga they really have some serious issues that will have to require counseling so that they can get back to what's real and that's amazing basketball. Little Spokane Washington produces a premier program that is very very mind blowing. Gonzaga is not afraid to play anybody they play on there floor they play on neutral courts but the big schools won't play on the Zags turfs they gotta play at the Spokane Arena. I guess they are chicken and they don't' have any balls! Well anyways where do I watch the games that would be oh yes on TV. Getting into a GU game is like finding a needle in a haystack good luck with that. If your John Stockton then I guess you get to go to all the games. Tom Hudson and Richard Fox radio voices of the Zags amazing team. Greg Heister and Craig Ehlo TV voices of the Zags make me sick they are so terrible. How are you still working for the Zags you bums! I will answer this my favorite local sports team is Gonzaga but my favorite sport to watch is baseball! So to sum this up my favorite minor league team is the Spokane Indians and my favorite college team is by far the GU ZAGS! Well what are your thoughts on this amazing topic? Well until next time may the Oz always be with you so long!

Margarita Madness!

Hey friends it's Oz here for a margarita edition of The Oz Files. Sorry I'm taking so long to do this one i WAS sorta pre occupied with the shock game then spend a few hours at the season ticket! So this bog is for saturday not Sunday but we will roll with it! So Leah has decided that tongihts blog is margaritas why do I like them so much? What is the best kind of margaritas and wehre is the best place to get a margarita? Also do I have any great memories or stories involving margaritas? Margartias are very good and ever since I tried one I fell in love with them and there is only one flavor for the Oz and that is definitley strawbeery. The other flavors are so lamo and strawberry is just the best thing since sliced bread. This is no contest strawberry margaritas come in a lot of differnet ways. I lik it best when they have actual strawberryies in the margaritas and the whip cream but anywyas is fine. On the rocks is not my favoirte but is duable depends wehre you go! There are a lot of places that service up great margaritas. The worst place is Spaghetti Factory wow so disgusting! However the best margaritas can be found at Sawtooth Grill at River Park Square. Oh yes wow they are soooo good I can't describe the taste bnt they are so so so pleasureful inddedy! Red Robin is one of the best so is Tomatos Street very very good but Sawtooth has been unmatched so far! If you have antoher spots him me up baby! A great story or memory would be that about two years ago went down to Heroes and Legends and had two margaritas before work and then had 3 durring an hour lunch then had 2 after work wow I was pretty much feeling good all day! It was really really solid and oh soooooooo good! SO that's all I have to say on this subject go margaritas! So what do you think of this subject/,? Well until next time may the Oz always be with you so long!

Doughnuts VS Muffins!

Hey friends it's Oz here back for a breakfast edition of The Oz Files. It's free write Friday one again and I'll be talking about doughnuts vs muffins debate. Let's see there are so many breakfast choices and the two that are pretty popular are muffins and doughnuts. Both are very good but there can only be one winner folks. Let's look at muffins they come in all shapes and sizes and they are easy to maintain. Muffins are soft and chewy and you can get them in mini versions or you can go big or go home with the giant muffins and that's the only way to go if you ask me. What flavors are there to choose from? Blueberry, Banana Nut, Popeyseed and my favorite chocolate and so much more but those are the main flavors. With muffins you can peel off the wrapper and eat the crumbs off the wrapper such a tasty treat. So muffins are really good and they have a lot of good traits. Stepping up to the plate is doughnut. Doughnuts also come in all shapes and sizes and lots of flavors. Doughnuts are really glazed and pretty darn healthy for ya! You got fritters, jelly filled, maple bars, doughnut holes, powdered doughnuts and so many more. You can get fresh doughnuts at Safeway every morning. Wow oh so tasty and you can put them in a box and get a package deal. Um I wouldn't eat them all for yourself um had a bad experience with that. Doughnuts are always good with milk, orange juice or even coffee. You know you just can't eat one you gotta have a few! So what's the pick doughnuts or muffins? I love them both but when push comes to shove it has to be the doughnuts all the way! So tasty and just amazing! Well what do you think about this whole subject? Well until next time may the Oz always be with you so long!

Can you dig it 75% of the profits go to the Oz oh yes I can dig it! The candy bar would be filled with caramel, cherries, almonds and the outer covering would be pure brown chocolate. The candy bar will be in the shape of an O of course. This may be the very first chocolate O shaped candy on the face of the earth. This amazing candy bar shall be known as The Oz Express! What will I do with my earnings? I would quit my job and buy a house. I would also watch sports all day long on the big screen HD TV I'd be watching it one laying back in the recliner!

Hey friends it's Oz here for a roaming edition of The Oz Files. Tonight Leah has decided that we are going to talk about if I were to go on a road trip across the United States what 10 places wold I visit? Also what places would I avoid? Well let's dig in to this juicy subject! I would first have to visit San Fransisco, California I love that city. You have to go to Alcatraz take the ferry take the tour it's amazing it's long and it's oh so fab. There is a lot of stuff to do in the bay area but Alcatraz is my first destination. The second place I'd like to visit on this road trip would be the Space needle in Seattle, Washington. I have been to Seattle quite a few times but never been up in the needle that is something I have to do! Let's see here at number three we will drive down to SIN CITY better known as Las Vegas, Nevada. I mean there is a lot to do depending on what you like you might lose a lot of money or maybe you will feel pleasure I don't know that's just up to you! If your strapped on cash you can get a pay day loan no you go to a buffet sooo cheap and the food is sooo epic! As we travel through the United States Of America we find ourselves in Chicago. I would absolutely love to visit Wrigley Field the home of the Chicago Cubs that would be just a dream! that rounds out the fourth destination. Our next destination is going to be Hawaii oh baby the sun the water and the hula skirts! Need I say more? So at number six we land in Philadelphia Pennsylvania. I would so love to get a Philly cheese steak wow. My uncle Rich says they are oh soooooooooooo GOOOD! So that's something I would like to do. At number 7 we land down in New York, New York. I would love to go to Yankee Stadium and go to a Broadway show. That would be an absolute dream. We mozy on down to number eight and we find ourselves Texas. I don't care where I go in Texas I hear everything is bigger in Texas I would like to test that theory! At number nine we land in Sante Fe, New Mexico. I think I would like to visit New Mexico because it's one of those states that don't get a lot of pub. Oz would like to see what this is all about and maybe they have good tacos. Yes Oz loves his tacos soft or hard doesn't matter just let me scarf them down! We finally end our trip at number 10 and we land in beautiful San Diego, California. I'd love to enjoy the sun and the beautiful babies! Also I want to say stay classy San Diego! I have list of places I would avoid and at the top of the list is Pullman, Washington. Also avoid Utah um enough said about that. Um Bakersfield, California I've heard it's not where the smart people hang! Ummm I would also avoid the deep south at all costs just don't do it they will ask you for emergency credits so please oh please avoid the deep south Y'all! I think that about covers the places to avoid. Where would you go people lock in! Well until next time may the Oz always be with you so long!

Lost In Sin!

Hey friends it's Oz here for a wandering edition of The Oz Files. Leah has decided since I do get lost on occasion hasn't happened a lot but wants to know the strangest place I've been lost or the funnies memory of being lost? I have great memories of all my "adventures"! However there is one story that has to be told even though it did happen in VIVA Las Vegas. So I'll set this story up for you all. Went to Vegas for a college newspaper conference while I was going to SFCC and we had a great time. So the group of us that went to Vegas were drinking having a good time and we go to several hotels checking them out. Well Hannah and myself were really hungry so we decided we needed to hit up the buffet at the MGM Grand. We get there we sit down and the dude there is like did you pay and I'm like where do you pay? Dude said way in the back oh I say where i can't see. So the dude thinks I'm paying for both but I"m not so I pay for mine the dude gives us two plates. So Hannah is like should I pay and I tell her no they think I paid for ya or so that's what we thought. So we had a good time eating our butts off and she even had more than I did she went for the big pancakes we had to wait til 10pm for the pancake buffet to open up but she did her thing. I was might impressed I gave her the props she rightly deserved. So now it was game time Hannah gave me that look and asked should we just walk out I said just act casual walk down those stairs calm and I'll follow. So we did just that and Hannah got a free meal so that was great. So we are trying to get back to our hotel which was off the strip but right across from the Hard Rock Hotel. It's pitch black outside and we are walking down the strip hoping that we were going the right way. Hannah and I had some arguments about the whole thing . So were walking down our marry way and I say let's turn this way so we did and she thought it was the wrong way and it wasn't ha so I was right for once when it comes to directions. Then we came to a light and she's like I think we have to go straight and I'm like lets turn and she's like no Oz. So we go her way and we are hoping we are going the right direction and well EVENTUALLY we got to where we wanted that was back at the hotel. Our group was like what took you guys so long and were like ummm Hannah got a free meal at the MGM she was hogging down the food and we kinda got lost getting back! But Hannah Said we were both half right on the directions so we were able to get back to the hotel with very little problems but at the time I was like please GOD find the way back home! So there ya go my story all of it true. Oh Man I almost forgot about this story I'll make short and sweet but this is soo memorable. My mom my friend james and myself were going to Seattle for the weekend to watch the Seattle Marienrs. We got to Olympia we were trying to get to our friends house which was just a little outside of Olympia. Boy those maps sure aren't handy because um we went around the State Captiola like 11 or 12 times I kid you not! I was laughing my ass off my mom wasn't sooo thrilled she was freaiking out. That same night the Seattle Mariners traded away Randy Johnson to Houston as that was announced we just kept going around and around the captiol building oh my goodness cuh a great time. We eventually had to stop at a pay phone and called them and our friends husband drove down and showed us the way. Ha wow what a great time I was in high school at the tiem maybe in middle school but wow what a great adventure. So have you been lost and how did you like it? Well until next time may the Oz always be with you so long!
