Final Weekend of College Football

What a way to finish the season.  Last weekend was the final weekend of the regular season, including conference championships, and there were some pretty incredible games.
Pitt-WV was tight until the end with points flying left and right.
The ACC championship was the same.  The game actually went the way I wanted.  I was rooting for [...]

Charlie Weis and Bobby Bowden

So the coaching carousel has started turning in a big way last week.  A number of lower profile coaches lost their jobs last week, but there were a couple of others who were the subject of much debate due to the nature of the coach or the nature of the program they headed.

College Football Weekend Review

With the awesomeness of this college football weekend, I’m a little surprised at myself for how long its taken me to get this post up.  Huge win for FSU, unexpected win for UGA, and USC lost its third game this year.  I think the college football gods are starting to know that I see the end of [...]

College Football Weekend Rewind

This was kind of a crap weekend for football.  There were a number of decent games, but none of them went the way I wanted.
First, the quick and dirty.  How does Oregon take USC behind the woodshed last week and then lose to Stanford, of all people, yesterday?  That’s just embarrassing.
While we’re on the subject [...]

WC Qualifying: US 2-2 Costa Rica

Color me completely stunned right now.  I can’t believe how this game finished up.  I can’t decide if we played well or played bad.  Maybe we played worse than we should have against a team like Costa Rica, but part of me thinks we played better than the scoreline.  One thing is for sure, there is [...]

College Football Weekend Rewind

We interrupt our regularly scheduled honeymoon post to bring you some thoughts on the weekend of college football.
I know we’re half-way through the season, but this is the first full day of football that I’ve gotten to watch from Gameday through the games that I wanted to watch.  I think I’m sitting on about eight [...]

WC Qualifying: US 2-1 El Salvador

It was essential for the US to get a win tonight in Salt Lake City, and we came through with a pretty solid performance. Generally speaking, I would say we played well. Our attack was able to create several very good chances, even beyond the goals we scored, and we were able to [...]

The Return of College Football

I sit here writing this post watching the first college football game of the year, and the world is a better place than it was yesterday.
Though the teams are completely irrelevant, NC State is playing South Carolina and its freaking great. I love pretty much everything about college football. Even the teams I [...]

Checking In

Obviously, I haven’t posted in a while. I’ve been really busy at work lately and haven’t had a ton of time to write for the blog. By the time I get home from work, I spend a couple of hours relaxing and eating and then I go to bed.
Despite my busy-ness, there are [...]

Why I Loathe Mexican Soccer

The below excerpt from this Yahoo article is why I loathe Mexican soccer.

The man with the tri-colored mohawk took a swig of beer, stuck his fingers down his throat and vomited the mixture back into his cup. In the next seat another man, who was wearing a T-shirt with a cartoon drawing of the decapitated heads [...]
