Oh, my!

Thank you my dear. It was a great game, especially the last minute.

By the way, I am delighted that you're back in good health again. Jack & I were praying for you as was everyone here

WORD OF THE DAY:
POLITICAL THEATER, n.

What the Broadcast Blowjob Brigade calls it, when a Demoncrat official is the subject of an ethics/criminal investigation. However, when the title role is played by a pachyderm punk, the news nitwits call it a "scandal", then assign it a name ending in "gate".


QUESTION OF THE DAY:
"The burning question is this: After Messiah Barry O’Dumbo’s ascension to the Oval Office, will the words ‘I’m all ears’ be reclassified as hate speech?"

The doctor from Star Trek passed to Bill Cosby?

I wish I'd seen that!!


(it's college football, move on)

Schteveo said...

(OK, my questioning part of my brain got the best of me)

There can't seriously be 2 MORE college football games left to play. But lo and behold, there truly are. I looked it up just now, 34, THIRTY-FOUR, college football games.

And the sponsorship deals and playing "stadiums".?

"...tonight on ESPN 8, "the OCHO", the Doritos / Sparkie's Spinach Dip / Bombadier Super Dooper Bowl. Tonight's game comes to us from Evil Knievel High School in Missoula Montana!! Overhead photography courtesy of Daves Crop Dusting and Fumigating Service, thanks Dave!!

Student Athlete's?

I read about the "gift packages" the players get. Several of them were in the thousands of dollars. If you provide me a service and I give you a gift, it's PAY.

Most of the loyal followers have never attended the schools the are rooting for. My wife has a friend who's husband is one of these guys. Never finished high school, never lived in Chapel Hill, or anywhere in Orange County NC, but lives and dies by UNC sports.


(a typical conversation follows)

He: Steve, hows life?

Me:...well Mike, my van is running rough, and this wet weather is making my back hurt.

He:...yeah that's about what happened to UNC the other night, no running and the rain caused a lot of turn overs.


Let me repeat for the umpteenth time, I don't get it.

It made the traffic suk over there.
That's about it.

As an aside, we have the only stadium that you can roll the grass out into the parking lot. We also have the only baseball stadium with a swimming pool.

"Grammie" or whatever name he wants to call me!! said...

Schteveo,
Again, be careful what you say about student athletes. Both my kids were one.

Do you remember the Poulan Weed-Eater Bowl?

Schteveo said...

C-Bug,
don't get me wrong. I don't fault the players. I fault the users, make that the schools, the TV networks, and the idiotoid, adoring fans, etc, etc, etc.


Annie,
I do remember that bowl. I keep waiting for the Kohler Bowl!! Of course to me they all qualify for Kohler as a sponsor.

Hey! You won't hear this very often from me, as I'm a fan of one of their rivals in the North! Hook'em Horns! I'm a fan of any team that plays Ohio State or a member of the Big 10 or 11 whatever it takes!
