1/3 - Kahuna notes: Hey, we've go sun today. Great... except it's in the 20s. Oh well. Me and the Kahunette went out for breakfast and then rode to Hawk Island Lake to soak up some sun. We also took a little walk by the lake - frozen over, of course.  ...  And now, the Winter Weekend Sports Update: The College Bowl games are winding down. As I mentioned yesterday, the #18 Michigan State football team (9-4) lost the Capital One Bowl to #15 Georgia (10-3) 24-12 after leading the first half 6-3. State turned in a decent performance, but was snafued by their offensive coordinator's crappy and predictable play calling. So far this season, the BigTen is 0-6 in bowl games. Brutal. In pro football, the playoffs start this weekend. Today it's Atlanta (11-5) at Arizona (9-7) at 4:30pm on NBC, then Indianapolis (12-4) at San Diego (8-8) at 8:00pm on NBC. On Sunday its Baltimore (11-5) at Miami (11-5) at 1:00pm on CBS, then Philly (9-6) at Minnesota (10-6) at 4:30pm on FOX. Today the #10 MSU basketball team (9-2) travels to Northwestern (8-3) for a game at 7:00pm (no TV scheduled). Sunday, #23 Michigan (10-3) hosts Illinois (13-1) at 12:00pm (no TV scheduled). Sunday the Pistons (20-11) travel to the Clippers (8-24) for a 3:30pm game (no TV scheduled). Detroit (20-11) is now 6 ½ games behind Cleveland (27-5) in the EC Central. In the CCHA the Michigan State Hockey team (3-8-2-2, 6-12-3 overall) is still in the cellar with just 10 points and the CCHA conference leader, Notre Dame, has 24 points. Tonight, the Red Wings (25-7-5) travel to Minnesota (18-16-2) for a 8:00pm game (no TV scheduled). The Wings (25-7-5) are in first in the WC Central with 55 points - ahead of second place Chicago (20-8-7) with 47 points.  ... Tomorrow we're suppose to get some precipitation, and with the temp forecasted to crest 32°, we might get some freezing rain too. Damn. Welp, both me and the Kahunette are watching our holiday vacations wind down. It's back to work on Monday, so enjoy the weekend ;)

BigKahuna's Weekend Movie Review: Marley and Me starring Owen Wilson, Jennifer Aniston, Alan Arkin, Eric Dane and Haley Bennett. Now here's a surprise: a dog lovers movie with a twist - it follows the life of a puppy that's brought home by a young married couple and along the way tells the story of the marriage and family life of the young couple. Here's the shamelessly ripped off Yahoo synopsis: "An ambitious young reporter, John Grogan (Wilson), and his wife, Jenny (Aniston), also a reporter, move to a south Florida, buy a house and adopt a Labrador puppy they name Marley. Marley quickly becomes a rollicking force of nature in their lives." Oh, and the movie is a unashamed tearjerker - it goes after every tear it can jerk. There's no denying the movie has a heart. Wilson and Aniston turn in good performances. All in all a very enjoyable family film. Kahunette gives it 2 hankies, I give it 7/10.
