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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
I’ve been having a great time with Rock Band, it’s probably the game I have spent the most time (and money) playing so far. I downloaded a few freebie songs the other day too, which was a nice bonus. Or at least some of them were. The last song I got was not really that [...]
The first polls are out… which means people can already start arguing about the national playoff. Oh, wait, we don’t have one. Bummer.
In any case, Florida is predictably on the top position. They return Tim Tebow (love him or hate him, he is a great player) and their entire starting defense. What’s that phrase? Oh [...]
I was forwarded an email with these images in it. Supposedly they were used as billboards during a recent auto cruise in Detroit. Many of them feature my favorite car.
This is, of course, no doubt a nod to the “big block” days of the 1967 Corvette.
I like this one on many levels. First [...]
I read an article on Yahoo! Sports today that was really eye-opening. (There is a link at the end of this post.) It started out talking about a former UCLA basketball player named Ed O’Bannon. He played in 1995, played for a few years in the NBA, then retired. But EA Sports has made a [...]
I read a review somewhere online that described this TV series as a combination of “Rockford Files” and “McGyver” and decided I had to get it. It’s really quite good. I’ve watched about half of season one so far and am really enjoying it.
For what it’s worth, I found it on sale at [...]
LSU took on the field and won at the 2009 College World Series. I won a lunch from a coworker who attended Texas. The Tigers finished with a 56-17 record and worked their way through the series with only one loss, and that in the best-of-three series with UT for the final. The [...]
I just finished watching the complete series of Witchblade (the original from TNT, not the animated version). I did not realize it at the time, but there were two seasons. According to Wikipedia (I love that site):
The series ran for two seasons on TNT, for a total of 24 episodes (including pilot). The first episode [...]
