I don't know how to put this but I'm kind of a big deal. People know me. I'm very important.

Since everybody wants the email
And that's the end of that. I believe everybody that wanted the email has now had an equal opportunity shot at it. If not, I'm sure it's still floating around email addressess that are easy enough to find. Hell, mine is around here somewhere.
Thanks for stopping by, we now return you to your regularly scheduled programming.
Sorry for the light blogging recently. It's a combination of too much work and too little CFB worth discussing. I'll get back in the swing of things with college hoops and some other stuff in the next week or so.
If Michigan should happen to upset Wisconsin or Indiana on the road this week (unlikely), it would really catch my attention and stamp them as a likely NCAA team.
Slow blogging the last few weeks with me being so busy at work and having so many holiday functions to attend. Things are starting to slow down a little bit finally, and what better way to start than with some Rose Bowl preview stuff? I'll try to have it up by Thursday. As for Michigan hoops getting blown out of the water by UCLA, can't say it was a surprise. This year's team is sorely lacking in talent in the backcourt and will get beaten handily by teams that can pressure the ball.
It's Election Day! The results are in: Ohio State still sucks! I kid because I care. It's the week before the week of the Ohio State game, which I guess is referred to by some as the week of the Indiana game. Honestly, though, it's Indiana. I know they beat Iowa, but so did Northwestern. I also know Indiana just lost to Minnesota by some God forsaken score of a bajillion to fourteen or something like that.
I gotta say that the best thing I saw on TV this weekend, was the last 23 seconds of the first half of the Wisconsin-Penn State game. It was sheer comedy on so many levels. First you have Wisconsin just blatantly abusing the clock rules which was funny on it's own. Then you get to see JoePa torn between disbelief and sheer anger as he comes onto the field and rips into the ref. Then on Wisconsin's third kickoff, a squib, PSU fumbles and it is actually recovered by Wisconsin but the half had run out by then. Finally, as JoePa is walking to the lockerroom, he threatens to go postal on the camerman. It is probably the longest last half minute of a half ever, but it is one of the best 6 minutes of TV you will ever see in a college football game. See for yourself...
Doogie Howser is gay?!?!?!?!?! I wonder if CBS will keep up the Barney's Blog. No, not the purple dinosaur. It's the blog of Neil Patrick Harris' character on How I Met Your Mother. I just find it a little amusing when Doogie is gay and his character is the horniest heterosexual guy on TV. The titles of some recent blog entries: "Huntin' Coug", "The Amazing Morning-After System", "Occupation Stimulation", etc.
It's also sad to see Britney and K-Fed calling it quits. I had such high hopes for the cute couple. If they can't make it, what hope do the rest of us mortals have? Although I have to wonder if this is just Britney fulfilling her life long destiny as trailer trash. Hand her some menthols and she can be a nice 24 year old single mother of two living back home with mommy in Louisiana. And yes, this was techinically her second marriage. Do we have an Elizabeth Taylor rival in the makings? She could hit four marriages by age 30 with no trouble at all.
Sorry for going off topic. I am still dazed and confused by Ohio State's 7 point win over Illinois and how bad the Buckeye offense looked in the second half. I don't make much of it, though, just strange to watch and wonder exactly what might be possible for the Michigan defense.
So I'm trying to go with a color scheme that is a little easier on the eyes. I realized the white text on blue background made me strain, so we'll try something different and see how that goes.
Good luck to Brian at the 2006 WSOP. I think he started play yesterday. No update to his blog yet, but here's hoping that a fellow Wolverine can have some fun out there in Vegas.
UPDATE: Brian done MGoneHome from Vegas. But hey, at least he played pretty good. And hell, he even managed to get a tidbit in a story about Annie Duke:
"Duke had had that reminder only moments earlier, when a young Michigan player, Brian Cook, crashed from Duke's table. Cook, who had earlier admitted to being "a little intimidated" by Duke when his own smallish starting stack grew large enough to allow for more creative play, lost his last $25,000 when his pocket aces were cracked by another player who called his pre-flop raise with 10-7, then put Cook all-in after a K-7-7 flop. This came only moments after Cook had lost a sizeable hand with pocket kings in a similar manner.
As Cook rushed off in frustration after his two-out ace failed to appear, the other players discussed his back-to-back, tough-luck hands. And as Duke offered, in the wake of Cook's departure, "He did nothing wrong."
Congrats Brian, and I look forward to some more unverified voractiy when you get back!
Yeah, you've probably seen Anna Benson around a bit. She's the wife of Mets pitcher Kris Benson and she's pretty damn hot. Well, apparently the two are getting a divorce. Check out the intro to her website. You think she's going to try to clean out his bank account?
This blog is going to be about nothing, or maybe everything. I don't know. Mostly I'll post my rambling thoughts and ideas about sports that deserve a permanent home on the net. Hope you enjoy.
