Horrible

Well I guess it could be said that Monday night's game (if you can call it that) didn't go the way of the Buckeyes. The only good that could come from such a horrific loss would be if some juniors who might have otherwise turned pro come back for their senior season. But that's a stretch.

Finally

The day of the national championship game has finally arrived. It's been 50 days since the Michigan game and tonight the Buckeyes finally get to prove their dominance over the rest of the country by destroying Florida in Glendale.

Here's a loose transcription of a conversation I had with the cleaning lady in our office building on Friday. I was wearing a Troy Smith jersey.

CL: Those Razorbacks are gonna win next week.
Me: They're not playing the Razorbacks. They're playing the Gators.
CL: Aren't they playing in Arizona?
Me: Yes, but they're not playing Arizona. They're playing the Florida Gators.

It took me a minute to realize that she was probably thinking of the Diamondbacks, which are of course a baseball team. I don't have a problem with someone talking smack, but if you're going to do it, you might want to have some clue of what you're talking about.

Go Bucks!

Happy New Year

Happy New Year!

I haven't been posting lately because I'm having trouble with blogger's cms not allowing me to upload pictures. I don't know why this is happening and I've been too busy (lazy) to figure it out. If it's not fixed soon I'll just work around it and post pictures manually.

Also, in case you missed it, Michigan couldn't even win their bowl game.

Road Pac-Man

Apparently people in Minnesota have great senses of humor. There's a stretch of highway on Highway 55 on which the government had painted white dots "to slow tailgaters by showing drivers how far apart to stay". Some genius painted a Pac-Man next to one of them. Kudos, anonymous painter.

Horny Manatee

Only Conan O'Brien would ad lib a joke about a manatee mascot porn website called hornymanatee.com and then actually create it and put up hilarious pictures.

Warning: This is not safe for work, especially if your work doesn't allow graphic photos of people in manatee costumes.

Landslide

In case you've been living on another planet, Buckeyes quarterback Troy Smith won the Heisman Trophy this weekend. It was the 7th time an Ohio State player has won and the 2nd largest margin of victory in the history of the trophy. Watch yourself, Gators.

SNL Webcast

Apparently the folks at NBC are kicking around the idea of making the Saturday Night Live Friday dress rehearsals available via webcast. Is there something I'm missing here? Do we really need something else to make us not laugh? I watched some of last season and it was disappointing just about every time. The Lazy Sunday sketch was about the only thing I saw that was original or funny. I tried to watch portions of the first few episodes this year but I just couldn't stomach it.

Get some writers, then worry about webcasts!

Glendale

After USC's loss to UCLA in the Pac-10 championship on Saturday night, speculations arose as to who would battle Ohio State in the National Championship game in Glendale, AZ on Jan 8th.

Apparently the voters in the human polls (which make up 2/3 of the BCS rankings) did not want to see a rematch of the Michigan game, because they voted Florida in as the #2 team. Judging by the above survey, the Bucks are favored to win.

Bring it on, SEC.
