Rubio signs with Regal Barcelona with an affordable buyout in 2011"

(via Marca.com) "Ricky Rubio, the 5th pick of the Minnesota Timberwolves in this year's draft, has agreed to terms on a contract with Regal Barcelona. The Spanish team will pay a buyout of 3.7 million Euros, approximately $5.3 million, to Rubio's previous team, Joventut. Rubio will sign a six-year agreement that contains an affordable buyout in 2011."

If you would like to read this in Spanish, click here.

On the bright side for the Timberwolves, this gives Johnny Flynn a couple seasons to work on his game without worrying if he can play with Ricky. And hopefully Rubio will put on a few pounds over the next two years and have a more "NBA ready" body.

New Journey: Back to the Alma Mater

In the current economic climate, I'm happy to say that I will be gainfully employed by my alma mater, South Dakota State University. I will represent the university as an Admissions Counselor in Western South Dakota to recruit future Jackrabbits. I had a great experience in my four years at SDSU and look forward to representing State to the best of my ability.

Who knows, my travels could produce some interesting new blog posts. I've equipped myself with a new phone, that should allow my blogging capabilities to be much more dynamic. If you have some great Blackberry apps, let me know about them.

The Big Pink - "Dominos"

I've been spending time with my family in Cottage Grove, Minnesota lately and we have been playing dominos like it's going out of style. So I felt this was a fitting video today, since they're back on a plane to Los Angeles this afternoon.
