Media Machine



ESPN says USC is trying for their third BCS title since 2003, yet when I look at the list it only shows them winning in 2004.
In 2003 USC was given the AP Champ even though the team they beat was Michigan, who had two losses that season to Oregon (8-5) and Iowa (10-3).
In 2004 USC dominated Oklahoma, however they should've played Auburn
In 2005 USC got beat by Texas, scratch that, they got beat by Vince Young.
In 2006 After losing to Oregon State & UCLA they were still able to win the PAC-10 and beat Michigan in the Rose Bowl.

All of that said the top picture can't be true.

Another day...


This is the start list for Friday when they have the 400M final. Hopefully we can get Gold, Silver & Bronze! Checkout those personal bests, no one is even close to the three Americans. In other news LoLo finished 6th in her race :'(, but the good news is Michelle Perry (USA) finished first.
It breaks down like this:
USA dominates in Track <400M
Kenya dominates in Track >400M
Russia dominates the Field events

Oh Ty there was two guys from Zimbabwe, but they are headed home. Neither made the finals (200 & 400).

Lookout for Lo Lo

If you haven't been watching the World Championships on Versus, you have been missing some great stuff. The Men and the Women have both finished the 100M which is the MOST exciting. We (USA) lead the Total medal count, the Gold medal count, the Silver medal count and the Bronze medal count.
Some guy from Zimbabwe did good in the 200M today so we will see what he can do tomorrow in the finals of the 200M.
Jamaica wants to act like they're fast but they are not getting many medals.

Anyways it is on Versus, check it out.

DVR's

I am probably one of, if not, the biggest fan of Tivo, but DVR's have taken away great moments like the time I was watching SportsCenter and the news had just broke that due to NCAA violations the Michigan Wolverines were going to lose all of their records and awards from the Fab Five Era. Well Trey Wingo said, "so that whole time out thing, never happened" and went right on with the news.
While I was rolling on the floor laughing I had to call Matt to see if he was watching. He answered his phone and I said, "are you watching SportsCenter" he then continued to roll on the ground laughing just like I was doing.
Now no one, including myself, watches live TV. :-(

Apartment vs. House

Just was thinking about something the other day, neighbors.
I live in Oakleigh Apartments. Along with Mark, Heather, Lacey, Caleb, Goose, Matt, Steph, Meghan, Chris, JJ, Travis, CJ, Lisa. In my section there are 7 neighbors and aside from Goose and Caleb who live right below me, I don't know any of them at all. Compare that to when I lived in my parents house we knew our neighbors, we may not talk with them daily but we know them they know us, but in an apartment complex you don't get that. I guess it is because in apartment life you assume someone is here one day and could be gone the next but I've always found that weird about apartments. This could just be me in which case, oh well I'm weird anyway, but I don't think it is just me.

You lived in an apartment at some point, or you do now, how was your experience?

I've been REAL BUSY

Great news, I got my computer fixed!
I drove up to Raliegh, NC to stand in my boy BDPs' wedding.
And I've been working in Lafayette a whole lot lately.

So if you still check this site I will be making a big come back.
And if you don't, well you won't know.
