Chickenfoot Track Free on Amazon

I happened to be looking through amazon.com this morning and discovered that the track “Soap On A Rope” from the supergroup Chickenfoot is a free mp3 download right now. I don’t know how long it has been running (or will continue to run) but it’s there today.

LSU Off, Florida Squeaks, Texas Wins Ugly

LSU had an off week this weekend, but not like Texas. LSU didn’t have to play. Texas did, and looked ugly doing so. But first, the SEC results for this week…
Didn’t Arkansas look great against Florida? They sure looked a lot better than LSU did, and they were playing on Florida’s home field. I watched [...]

LSU Escapes Georgia

LSU probably should have lost the game. On the other hand, if the plays had worked out the same nobody was going to catch Scott on his last run through the line anyway. I don’t like the fact that more people are talking about the officials than the game, but what can you do?
Tomorrow the [...]

LSU 4-0, ‘Bama Rolls, Tebow Crushed, Cal Tumbles…

Another wild weekend in college football. The net result is that LSU entered the weekend at #7 and because of losses ahead of them will has become the most over-rated 4-0 team in the country. I don’t believe they’re a top-ten team, but losses to Ole Miss and Cal and Penn State and Miami… the [...]

Would You Buy a Used iPod From This Guy?

I have an iPod that’s about 3 years old. I love it. I have the 80gb model, and I have filled it up. Yes, it’s possible. When I bought it Apple offered two models with capacity of 80 or 160gb. Later on when I was beginning to wish that I had the larger [...]

Do College Football Polls Mean Anything?

At the beginning of the season USC was #4, now they’re #12. BYU was #20, then jumped to #9 after defeating Oklahoma, who by the way was ranked #3 to open the season. (I questioned that, given the lack of experience on the o-line, but I don’t get to vote…) After getting wacked by Florida [...]

LSU 3-0, USC Stumbles, Florida and Texas Survive, BCS Busters Busted

This was a wild weekend for college football, wasn’t it?
LSU won the game they were supposed to win by taking down USL. (Yes, I know they’re called “Louisiana Lafayette” now, but they’ll always be USL to me.) There’s not really too much to say about the game. LSU could have used this to tune-up for [...]

LSU 2-0 But Doesn’t Dominate Vandy

LSU took their first SEC game last night as they defeated visiting Vanderbilt 23-9 last night. The game was played in the rain and was still close going into the fourth quarter. The Tigers grabbed a bobbled pass on a Vandy drive deep into their territory to shut down a potential touchdown and preserve some [...]

LSU Escapes, Georgia Down, ‘Bama Up, Bradford Out

If the first weekend of college football is any indication, we’re in for a wild ride this year. LSU played a late game last night (on the west coast) and managed to escape Washington 31-23. I didn’t get to watch the game but from reading about it this morning some questions were answered and others [...]

Bolt Is Scary Fast…

I’ve been reading a bunch about Usain Bolt, mainly because the idea that someone can be so fast is really fascinating for some reason. Sports Illustrated put him on the cover recently. It’s amazing that someone as tall as he is has the mobility and speed that he does. One article suggested that it was [...]
