Sorry I missed last week, but wedding bells rang for a friend from graduate school, so LWN was off to MAC destination Ypsilanti, Michigan. 

Highlights from the trip-

If you buy Video Professor products, I’d like to sell you a “jump to conclusions” mat.

If you want to learn how to do stuff by paying for a video, watching it and learning….then I applaud your willingness to part with your money.  The Video Professor teaches you important things such as:

“Learn the internet”

Politics and Other Stuff

October 9, 2008

Dear readers, I am not an overly political person.  You can probably tell where I am going to vote, but nothing more than that…In fact, I’m not very worldly either, instead focusing on important issues like sports and pop culture.  In an emphasis to get more readers more information, we have added our friends, Varied Thoughts of a Mindless Wanderer to the blogroll.  Read it if you care about “actual” stuff.  In all seriousness, its a good place to find more observations.


College Football: Week 7

October 9, 2008

The road to the BCS Championship goes through the Big 12?

Chiggity Chase Daniel and Sultry Sam Bradford are lighting up scoreboard from Norman to Columbia to Lincoln to Seattle, both teams have led the conference on a roll that is unprecedented in my recent memory.  I have touched on this before briefly but, can any conference boast the talent that the Big XII has in the QB position?  Hands down SEC folks, the power has shifted to the Midwest.

College Football: Week 6

October 3, 2008

Something is fishy.

How does one team (USC) lose to an inferior one, which sets off a madcap weekend.  How about Florida?  How about Georgia?  How about Wisconsin?  The powers that be seem to have a sense of humor.  Is this a commentary on game preparation, or parity, or even that every game ACTUALLY matters.  In any event, the first major weekend of in-conference play was a disaster for the national title contenders.

I can’t explain it but I am pretty sure somehow Pete Carrol called the NCAA and the two of them are behind these shenanigans.

Since upset Saturday seemed to occur last week, one would assume it won’t happen again, yet dear readers anarchy is probably going to take place so that USC will still be in the hunt at season’s end.  My point is that there are still too many teams with unblemished records out there!
