It has been about a year since I have blogged. A lot has changed I that time. I've been promoted and tenured. The UCM Media Network has grown (we even broadcast President Obama's visit to campus LIVE). We have a teenager in the house. Lots and lots of new developments!
One thing has NOT changed, though: Heidi and I STILL cannot agree on the rules of H-O-R-S-E. I say person A takes a shot and if it goes in, person B has to duplicate that shot, including location on the court and style of shot. Heidi, on the other hand, says person A has to CALL the shot. We even took our debate to Facebook. Not surprisingly, most of our friends agreed with Heidi (I smell a conspiracy). One of our friends, though, made a great point. He reminded Facebook world that I am a trained sports writer, stating as such, he was voting with me! I like that point of view. But I decided, as a trained journalist, I should do some research. And so, I took to the Internet.
Exhibit A - from Wikipedia
Exhibit B - from Yahoo Answers

Exhibit C - from Wiki How (complete with pictures)
Shall I go on??? Fine!
Exhibit D - from eHow

Exhibit E - again from eHow

I think I've made my point! Of course, I'm sure anyone reading this will agree, IF Heidi and I ever play horse again, you can bet I'll be calling my shots. Heck, I'm a horrible shot; it's not like I can beat her anyway!
