Well, it was a busy and sad week. Saying goodbye to the ballpark until next season is always a bittersweet affair, and I've been working Hessica through the old Star Wars movies which she amazingly hadn't seen any of yet. I've got a packed weekend that should be very exciting, but we're not quite there yet, so here's a few things to keep your mind wandering until your body gets to follow suit.
1) So, USC lost last night. That was upsetting. But what's even more upsetting is reading people today trying to say that the Pac-10 is a weak conference based on the record against non-conference schools this year. What people seem to forget is that the gap between the talent levels of teams is getting smaller and smaller every year in college football, in every conference. Where you would once have several teams or just two going undefeated through a season, last season, only 1 team (Hawaii) managed the feat, but they still didn't get a National Championship shot. (Not that they deserved it, Georgia blew them out of the water in the Bowl game) But Pac-10 teams who see USC every year aren't afraid of them. Likewise, teams from the SEC, whether ranked or not, always put up a fight against other SEC teams. The era of deciding National Champions by voting and undefeated teams needs to come to an end. The other problem of this system is that it makes non-conference marquee games like last week's OSU v. SC game rare as teams are not willing to schedule tougher games against better opponents for fear of tanking their own title hopes. Furthermore, we don't even hold professional football players to the level of perfection needed to win a National Championship in college, so why is it ok to demand 11 or 12-0 from college kids, but not from professionals? End this madness and give us a play-off system now. The BCS is broken, and it always has been.
2) I'm happy to say that after representing that the status of the nation's financial sector was too fragile to participate in a Presidential debate, John McCain has changed his mind and decided that it's ok. Nice to know that a guy who thinks he can be President feels able to attend a debate on a Friday night, despite the fact that the rest of the country moves on. Might come in hand if he gets the job.
3) So it's official...Monta Ellis hurt himself on a mo-ped, not playing basketball like he told Warriors officials. If you've just received a contract extension that will pay you millions of dollars to play basketball, I have to wonder what you're doing on a mo-ped in the first place.
4) So the transgender ANTM contestant, Isis, got the boot on Wednesday night. I thought she did really well throughout, but in the end, if you're going to go on national tv, you need to be comfortable with you. She wasn't, the judges saw it, and she's gone. My only question is this...her chances were tanked when she botched her final photo shoot...but why? She seemed overly concerned about being in a swimsuit, but the entire shoot was from the water up, so why care?
5) From LPs to 8 tracks to cassettes to CDs to micro-SD....small albums!
6) Trent Reznor continues his divergence from the mainstream music industry by asking fans what they would like....very cool idea!
7) I'll be honest...of all the beautiful stars out there right now, I'll click on any link that might have a picture of Kim Kardashian.
8) How would you like to find a rattlesnake under the hood of your car?
9) A word of advice...if you're a really good soccer player, make sure that your girlfriend can't have you killed if you threaten to break up with her...
10) One good list of 10 deserves another, don't you think. Here's the 10 ridiculous construction projects they're working on over in Dubai...
On that note.....domino motherfucker!
