My Experience at the Garden

Last night I went to MSG to watch the Cavs vs Knicks game in which Lebron scored 50 pts and had 10 ast. We had seats behind one of the baskets in the lower bowl level. The game started off a little slow with LBJ tallying 2pts in the first quarter. As the second quarter progresses next thing you know Lebron has somewhere in the mid teens for points. Then something happened.

With a couple of minutes left in the half Lebron turns the corner and heads to the rim like a man possessed. He looks like a fucking freight train coming to the rim and throws down a completely nasty dunk that nobody thought he was going to dunk, especially David Lee. Next play he grabs a rebound and starts a fast break, the crowd starts getting to its feet to see another dunk then Lebron is fouled on the play with no call and he looses the ball which leads to a Knicks dunk. Next play Lebron has the ball and my buddy turns to me and goes, dude Lebron looks like he is going to tear somebody's head off, look how pissed off he looks. Lebron proceeds to nail a fad away three in the corner. Then he gets the ball with 5 seconds left and dribbles down the court where he proceeds to drain a 40 footer and walks off the court with a look on his face like, you have not seen shit yet. He had I think 24pts at that point.

As the second half starts the whole arena is pretty much cheering for him because everybody knows something special is happening here. Lebron does not disappoint and starts raining threes like Pacman Jones rains $100 bills at strip clubs. When Lebron walks off the court he gets a standing ovation and the Cavs walk away with the victory. It was just unbelievable to see something like that. As I am leaving the arena I start thinking to myself I better enjoy the next two years the Cavs have Lebron because he enjoyed this way to much.

And the best part of the whole night it was all completely free, even the beers were paid for. Got to love corporate perks, well my roommates corporate perks not me but either way...aweomse.

Have fun sitting in your offices and/or classrooms.

Reality TV is BRUTAL

I don't know if any of you all watch the show "Moment of Truth," but contestants on it take a polygraph test and based on those answer they have to tell the truth to America to win money. Anyway, last night it reached a new low. I admit I watch this stuff, but wow, its brutal. Check it out....

The format war is over!

Toshiba offically announced the death of HD-DVD yesterday, ending the format war.  The install base of about 1.3m are SOL.  This makes me extremely happy that I chose the PS3 over the 360+hddvd!  Anyone have any comments on how long/short the war went on?  Anyone on the wrong side of the street stuck with an hd-dvd player?

I need current addresses for the following people:
Aaron, Morgan, Nadia, Rory, and Shane.

If you are one of these people, or have any of their addresses, please email them to me.

And Bryan, I need you to confirm your address, I think the one I have for you may be your Dad's.

Pats/Giants

I can't believe we blew a perfect season in the Super Bowl. I would have rather lost in the first round and been written off as a fluke. It sucks being a Pats fan and an Anti-Red Sox fan now too. Not only have people reignited some ridiculous NY/Boston "rivalry" but now the shitty Red Sox have won and the glorious Pats have blown an entire year's hard work. 16-0 means absolutely nothing without the Super Bowl. I hate the Mannings.

Underprivileged Students Underrepresented at Colgate

Colgate University is home to the oldest weekly newspaper, the Maroon News. By looking at this headline, the title is the headline, their staff is not filled with the brightest stars in the galaxy. I mean are you telling me that low income families are not flocking to send their children to one of the most expensive schools in the country.

Seriously though the Maroon News article is basically an attempt by the school to save face. They make plenty of excuses as why the statistics are not 100% accurate. The original article, in the Journal of Blacks in Higher Education, asserts that these schools are not having enough students that are attending using PELL Grants. All of this comes about from Sen. Grassley introduced some bill to force wealthy schools to spend more of their endowment on financial aid.

I mean both articles are ridiculous and it makes my head hurt to read them. Colgate likes to show you that students who have parents making more than $200,000 receive financial aid. While the journal bemoans that Harvard is only spending $85 Million on aid for its students.

Lets get our heads out of our asses and start to worry about real issues, not diversity issues at colleges of higher education.

Kenny v. Spenny

Have any of you seen this fantastic piece of television? For those of you who have no clue what I'm talking about. This is a Canadian show about two friends who engage in competitions ranging from who can drink the most beer to who can stay tied to a goat the longest to first one to get a boner loses. Kenny is devious and crafty and usually ends up cheating while Spenny is a moralist who tries to legitimately win these competitions with good old fashioned hard work and determination. I think I enjoy it more because I am convinced this is exactly what it was like when Nick and Rory lived together. Anyway, if you are slipping through the channels, it is worth th 30 minutes.

Cloverfield

I saw Cloverfield last night and I was pretty impressed. If you haven't seen it I would recommend it, just be warned that it is filmed entirely from the perspective of a handheld video camera carried by a group of people that are scared shitless. Needless to say it's extremely shaky.  If you have seen it, let me know what you thought.

PF Chang Half-Marathon

Sunday Jen & I ran in the PF Chang Rock'n'Roll Half-Marathon. We made it through in 2:13:28 averaging a little over 10 minute miles for the 13.1 miles. It was definitely a blast and we plan to do another half-marathon sometime in the future with the ultimate goal being completing a full marathon. Of course I can say that now being 2 days removed from the situation... here's a play-by-play of how the day went down:
Sunday
(pre race) - Cold & nervous, looking around at the people in the same starting corral as us, I suspect we were too conservative on our estimated start time (read: old & big people).

(immediate post race) - Legs weak but not necessarily tired due to adrenalin. Happy with the finish time, no idea how people do 26.2 without dying. Looking forward to the free beer after a nice long stretch.

(after a free beer and some nachos, read: sitting in one place for a few minutes) - holy shit my legs are sore and weak, my knees kind of twinge as well, hmmm.

(after the 2.5 hour drive home) - ok, i can't move. go ahead and bring me a pillow, i'm sleeping in the car.

(after a hot shower and laying down on the couch) - i feel like i took out a loan from a guy named vinny and didn't pay him back...

(after 3-4 R.I.C.E sessions) - a little better but still painful, i'm going to bed and never running again.

Monday
(morning) - forced to hobble like a 90-year old man around the office, but at least i did it.

(evening) - back to a typical post-workout soreness, looking back that half-marathon was pretty fun.

Tuesday
(morning) - i better document this on the blog and start looking up our next race!

Hope maybe we've inspired some of you that have not been working out to get back in that gym, but if not maybe just entertained you with our misery for a few minutes.

Pictures to come...

American Gladiators

If you missed the premier last night, they will be on there regularly scheduled time slot tonight as well. It was awesome to say the least, it still has some of the cheeziness that we all grew to love. The male gladiators are man beasts, and in my opinion the best event is Pyriamid. There is something great in seeing this 5'7" 155 pound guy go against a guy named Mayhem who is 6'6" 260 and has some of the best dreads I have ever seen. You could not pay for better TV.

And I found myself pretty attracted to the female gladiators which scares me just a little. For the most part they are pretty hot. Crush is a female gladiator and she is just straight hot, by far my new favorite TV girl. It is also fun to see how many times the Hulkster can say the word brother in a sentence. Last night I believe he used it as a noun, pronoun, verb and ad-verb...it was amazing.

sorry sec, sorry

let me be the first to apologize to the rest of the sec for losing that game. i cheered my hardest and even had my dog in an old gator shirt, but we didn't seem to have the spark needed. as a punishment i have to spend the next 9 months with the taste of defeat stuck in the back of my throat.

Merry Christmas!

Some of you east coast people are probably past presents and almost onto food. Let's post comments of our favorite gifts... we haven't done gifts yet so I'll chime in later.

Monday, December 24, 2007

the price is wrong bitch

well along with the joys of the holidays comes the boredom of day-time tv. there used to be beacon of light among the rest of tv-land trash and that show was the price is right. it was your favorite and mine and was an easy way to waste an hour. now, however, drew carey is hosting this once great show and he has completely ruined it. he has absolutely no ability to fill in the time between activity (be it choosing a price, or talking to contestants). he delivers every line in the exact same tone, and doesn't seem to feed off the excitement of the crowd at all. i know bob is like 195, but can't we put another coat of paint on him and bring him back?? please!

Moment of Truth


This should be my last homebrew post, I promise... unless I start kegging. Pictured above is my first poured homebrew beer. As you can see, it's color is nearly identical to Newcastle and it has a nice head. It tastes a lot like Newcastle, except it has a slightly hoppier smell and taste. It also has a noticeably higher alcohol content. If you're in town, come by and try it after Christmas!

ugh

Anyone ever had "water on the knee"?
If so, does it hurt when they drain it?
I'm so scared... =(

Finally I can relax!

My first semester as a grad student is officially over, and I currently hold a 3.40 (an A and 2 B's). I must say I had hoped for better, because it was within reach until the end. But ehh, what can you do... I'm still proud of me :o)

P.S. I've applied for a GA position which would span the next 2 semesters in the Sport and Field department. No clue what the job would entail at this point, my advisor just asked if I'd be interested and proceeded to submit my app. So anyway I'll let you know if anything happens there... just keep your fingers crossed for me that I might soon get the crap out of retail. I'm out for X-mas Eve (work - of course), but I'll see most of you guys the 28th if not before. Merry Christmas!

A day that will live in infamy

I want to announce to the world that I am now the proud owner of a Wii. That is sitting on the kitchen table just waiting to be unwrapped. Taunting me with its shiny red wrapping paper, that glistens when the light strikes its reflective surface. Peppermint ribbon locking away its hidden treasure, until gathered around the tree, I tear into it, releasing its wonder. Why couldn't Jesus have been 6 days premature, it probably wouldn't have affected him too bad, omnipotence and all. December 25th how you mock me with your distance, sacrifices were made upon the mecca of magic that is Toy's R Us, kids were crying because their moms did not love them enough to bring home the prize.

Annual DiVincenzo Christmas Party

Just a reminder as usual we will be having our annual Christmas Eve party. Party starts at 1 ish, so stop on by and join in the festivities. As usual we will have massive amounts of food and drink and the master pusher of food (my dad) will be there in full force. I look forward to seeing everybody.

PS I fly in on Friday the 21st, so if you will be in town let me know. Enjoy the holiday season everybody!!

First the Mitchell Report, now this

On December 11th the US Congress introduced a bill to the floor for consideration. The bill was to recognizing the importance of Christmas and Christianity. 9 Democrats voted against this resolution. And it gets even better, all of these 9 people voted to recognize the importance of Ramadan. I mean come on. One of the 9 is Alcee Hastings. Some may know him as an African-American Congressman from Altamont Springs Florida and others may remember him as the most recent federally appointed Judge to impeached and removed from office, if you care he was impeached for accepting $150,000 bride for a lenient sentence. This is ridiculous. I am also disgusted at the number of republicans and democrats who voted present, just a cop out. I hate people.

The Mitchell Report

Anyone have any comments on the release of this report?  There are some big names in here, the likes of Bonds, Clemens, Pettitte, Tejada, Giambi, Sheffield, Gagne, LoDuca, Matthews Jr, Glaus, Vaughn, Knoblauch, Justice, ... the list goes on, even as far back as Lenny Dykstra.  The Clemens piece is especially damning, it's about 5 pages long, and goes into quite a bit of detail.

B-town

I'm down in Bradenton this week, so give me a call if you're in town.

Also, I am curious if those of you who live aboard are planning to move back or are contemplating moving back to the greater Bradenton area. I am obviously thinking hard about it, so I was curious what everyone else was thinking.

Bottling Day


It's been 10 days since my first homebrew post, and today was bottling day. My Dad did the capping while I filled the bottles. There's 46 of them in all, and they'll be ready Christmas day.

My First Homebrew


I've officially started my new hobby. The boil was last night, and if all goes well, I should have 5 gallons of beer (48+ bottles) just in time for Christmas/New Years. I'm expecting this to be something like Newcastle, so anyone who is able to drink a Newcastle without making a face is welcome to try it if you're in town for the holidays.

Okay guys, I am out to Newport News Virginia till Dec 12th. I am working for the RNC as a Director of the Virginia First Congressional District Special Election Victory Program. Basically for the next 13/12 days I will be trying to get the vote out for this special election. I will have my blackberry so I am still available but I will probably be out of the loop till I am back in the city.

45-12=Tebow not taken down

Really no one posted yet. Must be stunned silence on the part of FSU fans, and UF fans aren't done with their party. Living in La means I am insulated from the craziness of a 33 point beat down. All I hear out here is LSU lost and I-10 is closed. I like the Kansas commercial, I bet everything they showed somehow relates to the study of corn and corn related subjects. The kansas coach looks like the fat hypnotist from office space, I bet he has bacon breaks.

Tebow for heisman, the guy from Hawaii wins the "I sneak into girls dorm rooms and my pants disappear award"®, McFadden wins the "my team is terrible, I took a 3 game vacation in the middle of the season, and I was robbed last year award"®, Chase Daniels wins the "we represent the Lollipop guild pass for 2 yards and let my receivers do the work award, plus Missouri is america's anus and I play here"®, and anyone else I missed who may rob Tebow of the heisman he so rightly deserves; I hope someday you murder your wife, get away with it, and then plan the worst robbery in history to try and steal it back, because that is what you are a wife murdering heisman thief.

Heisman Votes

Now that Dixon is out of the Heisman race, I was just curious as to who everyone think should be the Heisman frontrunner.

Big Football Weekend (Translated)

Well this weekend is full of big games for our teams. After this weekend our team rankings could be drastically different. Two of our teams are playing ranked road games while one is playing spurrier. This weekend will go a long way in determining whether our teams have a shot at titles and respectibility. Seminoles are going for their second straight road win over a top 12 team and needless to say I am excited as hell. Good luck to Auburn and the Gators this weekend. Oh yea and Go Browns (they are playing the hated Steelers, F them and their terrible towel). Here we go brownies, here we go, HOOO HOOO!

PS Come Sunday and maybe even Saturday this post will turn into some mad shit talking, none of this yeaa I hope all of our teams win crap. Which one of our schools will be the unlucky one to reach that magical four goal.

Well looks like UF and FSU are pretty similiar teams. If you could combine your offense and our defense we would be quite the team. Unfortunately we are both not bowl eligible yet. Watch this saturday when FSU upsets #2 BC and we jump back into the rankings. As a side note we will be at this game cheering on the Noles.

PS Happy Bday bud, see you in a couple of days!

Since most of you have met or spent some time with him, I thought I should let you all know that my uncle Rick passed away yesterday afternoon.

Also, Adam please thank your father for all the work he had done earlier on as well.

P.S. Happy Birthday Bryan, sorry to bring down the mood.

Anyone playing it?  I just got it, looking for some Team Fortress 2 practice before throwing myself to the hardcore gamers.

Shit

Well who would of thought a pussy 3rd base coach would change the face of the game. Ramirez would have had NO shot at throwing him out. Now grant it Boston has tacked on a few more but momentum is a funny thing. We have had our chances thats for sure but could not capitalize and Boston has thats the difference. I would say congrats and go AL, but that is not my style at all. God I hate Boston. Go Rockies!!!!....yes I am posting this before the end of the game.


PS Looks like me, my brother and my dad will be canceling the Airline Tickets and World Series game two tickets that we bought last week. Oh yes I was going to Thursday's game if we won. So you can imagine my dissapointment

Bowden's Moving?

http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/news/story?id=3073221 ...So it begins again in Tallahassee.

On a side note, I am in no way whatsoever a Seminoles fan. In fact before I went to Florida I liked Miami, which added to my distain of the Noles. However, after what I witnessed this weekend regarding Miami fans, I couldn't help but want the Canes to lose. I've never meet a more obnoxious and ridiculous set of fans (wors than Noles, no disrespect fellas, haha). I probably witnessed about 7 fights at AJs on Friday night, all started by Miami trash who look like they have never set foot on a college campus. I really wish the Noles would have won, at least to get those pieces of shit out of town for the night.

No Respect for the Left

As I was driving home from work last night around 9pm, I got stuck in gridlock traffic. Not a shock for DC or the surrounding area normally, but last night was different. I was stuck in traffic because of a protest. The World Bank is holding its annual meeting at its main offices here in DC and of course people are protesting. But last nights protest was not at the World Bank, it was in Georgetown. They were not protesting the University, just the area because it is a symbol of "excessive wealth and privilege." Protest all you want but be nice about it. One woman who was with friends having a good time was hit in the head with a brick, obviously no one was arrested. The freedom of speech is a very important right, but businesses should not have to close early to board up their store fronts for fear of vandalism. Obviously the city of DC will not do anything, they re-elected a mayor who was on camera doing coke and crack with a stripper and they continue to elect that same man as a City Commissioner event though he has been convicted of tax fraud multiple times and still has not paid his taxes this millennium.

Friday, October 19, 2007

Remember when Miami vs. FSU mattered?

My favorite quote - - - "...this is as low as it gets for the Miami-Florida State rivalry. Both teams are unranked, offensively challenged, and at the bottom of the ACC."

On a positive note, I've got my money on FSU.....

Buh-Bye

Thoughts on Torre's decision to turn down $5 mil / 1 yr. with incentives? Good move if you ask me, that man is way too classy to take any more degrading bullcrap from that maniac. It will be interesting to see how the FA's react now that he's out as well... many have never played for another manager. Does anybody else think this is an astoundingly retarded move though? Seriously the guy brought as much good to the team as anyone in a ridiculous amount of years and they honestly think they'll be better off with someone else? Low blow to one of the greats, that's for sure. I must say however, with Torre gone there is officially nothing to like about the Yanks. Discuss baseball minders - all 5 of you... :o)

Hello?

Man, you Noles sure have gotten quiet all of a sudden!

Seriously though, tough loss...two years in a row to Wake was unheard of. I hope you all start playing a little better so we can have a showdown in November, old school style. Of course with UF victorious.

The Chigue's (Chris) Weekend

Here is what my brother is doing this weekend. Let me start off by giving some backround. Our good friend's the Nevels (Jae might be the only one to know them) used to live next door to us in the blue house before moving back up to Jersey. Anyway, they are from Jersey and Dick Vitale was Bobby's coach (he is our fathers age) so years go by and the Nevels move down to Lakewood ranch and Vitales daughter moves in next door. So they re-met a couple years ago and are now good friends.

Now my bro is going on Vitale's private jet tomorrow with Bobby and Eric (his son) to the ND v BC game. Both of Vitales daughters went there hence the trip. He is going to get to do all the pre-game stuff like the pep-rally then something involving a church and the players running out the day of the game not sure will have to get details after. He will more then likely get to go into the locker room then to watch the game will be up in one of the baller suites with all the big time Notre Dame Alum. Now some of us may not be big ND fans, but that is just awesome!!

My dad has said Vitale is just like he is on TV. So that is no act, he is loud and talks a ton in person just as he does on camera. In a further note I do not like my brother anymore...jerk.

PS I am a bit worried about tonights FSU game, I hate these short weeks we only had two real practices. GO NOLES!

Bring it on Sox

Well the Tribe reached the ALCS for the first time since 98 in grand fashion. Timely hitting and and good pitching won this one. The sox looked great, but you never know.

2. Gators lost - 4-2, ranked 12, lost like I said they would, championship = bye bye birdie
3. USC lost, I knew this would happen eventually because they are overrated...just didn't think it would happen against Stanford...even sweeter.
4. ND won, didn't think that would happen for awhile, figured they would be 0-8
5. BC is undefeated and represents the only ACC team in the top 10. They have a cake schedule the next couple, but I don't look forward to playing them.
6. Tennessee DESTROYED UGA...didn't see that coming either.
7. USF continues to roll

Discuss bitches.

Manny is back, baby!

Strained oblique? I'd say that's not bothering him anymore. He hit that damn thing over the Mass Pike! Adam, could you hear the Fenway crowd explode from your place? I wouldn't be surprised.

Sox 2-0, Yanks 0-2... pitching and home field, it's a beautiful thing

AAAAHAHAHAHAHA

What a freakin BOMB! That was the most hilarious pause of glory after a walk-off homer I've seen in a while. SO damn sweet... and yeah my Landshark is definitely kickin in, but I'm dtill a good drunk typer, yes? WOO HOO I love post season baseball!

King James is a traitor!

Hey Nick, what's with your boy LeBron wearing a NY hat to the game in Cleveland? When asked, he claimed to be "a big Jeter fan." That's pretty shady for the so-called face of Cleveland sports, don't you think? Good thing the stupid Yanks collectively got their ass handed to them and their ace lit up. Go Tribe, fo' sho... at least for now :o)

And of course I have to plug the unreal pitcher that is Josh Beckett in the playoffs. Good as usual, but just a totally different guy in the post season. What a great performance, and 3rd shutout in the playoffs for his career thus far. Freaking sweet.

Human LCD - Amazing

Found this on Digg with the following description:

South korea: boys cheering for their soccer teams. the most amazing thing is that they do this with their CLOTHES (not holding up cards). they have a jacket that is one color on the back, one on the front, and that they can open or close to show a third color shirt on the inside. One school has also figured out how to use their pants to make shading.

Does anybody have $76

If you so you may want to loan it to the Gators starting safety so he can get his girlfriends car out the impound. Or maybe he can use it for bail. I am glad you guys did not run your mouths about the FSU guy, this is to funny.

War Eagle

Let me just say, as a truly non-college football fan, that was a heck of a game. As I sat alone with the high-def, I couldn't think of a better way to spend a Sat. night. Sorry FSU, you all had an awesome win too but it just wasn't quite as exciting as the Auburn-UF game. God Bless football.

P.S. I hope I am the first to post on this...

Nick...

...I'll see you the playoffs my friend!

After being 14 1/2 games out of first place and, at one point, 8 games under .500, the Yanks are about to dominate the post-season. Now, I know your Indians are playing pretty solid ball right now, but you can't deny the dominance we have over you. 6-0 I believe!

But if the Yankees do lose to any team in the playoffs, I would rather it to the Indians. Screw Boston.

Salud.

PS Oh yeah, I almost forgot about you Alex...Auburn sucks. haha!

Halo 3

Alright boys, let's hear it. Who has it, who is going to get it. For those that are members, I got mine for $10 below MSRP (49.99) at Costco. Sam's might have an equivalent deal.

Auburn Sucks.

;)

Dissapointing

I am posting this because I am sure everybody knows about the two FSU players arrested and suspended. This is incredibly dissapointing to me, not only because these two guys have never been in trouble, but also the negative attention it brings. Are game against Bama is HUGE for us, a victory would probably put us back in the rankings and gain back some respect. Now all that will be talked about is this shit. The whole week of and during the game this is what we will hear, it will take away from the lure of FSU vs Alabama. I could give a shit about Joe Surratt, he is a back up fullback who has been hurt and was hardly going to see the field this year. For Geno Hayes this is huge he was our best linebacker, even though we are stacked at this position beyond belief his leadership will be missed. Surratt is charged with a Felony so he is up sh*t crick, Geno got charged with a misdemeanor(sp) so he will be better off. Everybody loves ripping FSU, like this shit happens all the time. And no matter what Bobby or FSU decides to do with these players he will be criticized immensely. The spotlight is greater on Bobby and on us for our past indiscretions and for just being who we were during the 90's.

I am not defending there actions by any means, the police report describes the situation pretty vividly. I hope they get penalized appropriately, and damn them for doing this too us. That being said I wish them the best and if they return the field I will root for them full on. GO NOLES!!!!!!...Roll the Tide.

PS This really sucks, nothign makes me sickier then seeing this on front page ESPN. Be smart with your responses, I never go into a battle unarmed.

"chance favors the prepared mind"

Happy Birthday DINK!

How's it feel to be old as dirt like Alex and I?

Blog Feature

Jae I noticed there is a check spelling tool when creating a post. However, when commenting on a post the feature is not available. Is there an option you can chose to make it available that way idiots like me have less spelling mistakes. Thanks.

Dear Diary...Jackpot

For all you FSU fans out there. Peter Boulware is running for office as a REPUBLICAN. He is running for the State House of Representatives in the Tallahassee area, specifically in a seat that encompasses Leon and Jefferson Counties. I predict big things for this guy, not really but he is going at it for the next 15 months. The below is a link to a sports blog that covered it slightly. All I know is, if this brother gets elected in the State House, you might be calling him Congressman Boulware because the GOP has always wanted to get back Alan Boyd's seat. I would say we could use him on the GOP's Congressional Baseball Team, but since we have not lost in the last 7 years, I think we are fine.

This is CRAP!!

I put out the American Flag today for 9-11. When I came home from work, there was a lady from the front office that told me I had to take it down. It was against policy to have a flag up. What kind of CRAP is this?!?!

Another one bites the dust


Yes gentlemen the time has come for another one of your dearest friends to get engaged. It happened a week or so ago but I just started classes again and moved into a new apartment so things have been totally crazy. I'm really sorry to have kept you all out of the loop but I didn't call my brother and sisters until my mom yelled at me too. =) No plans yet for a wedding date but it should be before I graduate from school in 2010. Anyway, hope everyone is as excited as I am. Take care. Oh, here is a pic of the ring. It is kind of crappy lighting but you get the idea.

College Football

God Bless College Football and meaningful saturdays spent at the bar. Also Boise State, Notre Dame, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Ohio State can shut their Smelly Pirate Hooker mouths, due to the fact that all three looked like a Brownie Troop.

Behold! My new HDTV


It's a Panasonic 50" 1080p plasma. That's right, I said 1080p plasma. We bought it on Monday (Hooray for Labor Day sales!) and we just got to setting it up tonight because I needed some assistance moving our old 300lb tube tv upstairs. If anyone out there is still in the market, this one has my full recommendation; the picture is unbelievable.

I had two of those guys as students.

Happy B-day Real Deal

Happy B-day Beal, the big 26. I am sure Alex can give you a few pointers on how to survive old age. Have a good one bud.

i guess it's up to me...

i was amazed it had been a whole day and no post had been made so i guess it's up to me...

fsu looked like poop monday, the o-line looked like a bunch of nancy boys. i won't say anything about the defense because i believe clemson's rbacks could make any defense look bad but wtf is up w/ the offense?

granted i only had 3 quarters saved on my dvr and i started feeling the momentum shift to fsu at the end of the 3rd, but i doubt it would have changed my overall opinion.

let the comments roll...
