Here we are, the end of the regular football season for the Pac-10. Rivalry week was full of excitment, two schools playing for bowl berths, another for a spot in the National Championship game. Incredibly with USC’s defeat of UCLA (in the last Pac-10 game ever) all five road teams won. Not sure if thats ever happened before, I’m going… Read more »
So, two to three weeks ago, CNN Money declared my alum mater, Connecticut College, to be one of the top ten most expensive school in the nation with a price tag north of 50,000 dollars. To those of you wondering about my net worth, tuition has gone up about 2-3 thousand dollars every year since I graduated. And I had… Read more »
I already wrote this week’s Complaint of the Week and had put it up a little while ago and sort of felt like I was set for this week. But then, Kanye West released his new album, My Beautiful, Dark, Twisted Fantasy and I had to amend those plans. As the resident hip hop expert round these parts—and yes, that… Read more »
One week to go in the regular season for the Pac-10. Although the league will most likely end up with either 3 or 4 Pac-10 teams in Bowl games, two of those games look to be BCS games. Not too shabby. Speaking of BCS Bowl games, here’s my predictions for how those will shake out: NC – Oregon vs. Auburn… Read more »
I know this may be blasphemous on this site, but… I just don’t care for college football. At all. I won’t say I hate it, because, hey it’s football. I can sit down and watch a college football game and recognize that it at least resembles a sport I enjoy. Also, a team, Boise State, plays on blue turf. While… Read more »
Only six of ten teams in action this week as Oregon, Arizona, ASU and WSU all had byes. All three games turned into blow outs, with underdogs Washington and Oregon State pulling the upsets and #6 Stanford rolling over Cal. 1. Oregon 10-0 (7-0 Pac 10) LW: 1 Bye week for the Ducks, home versus Arizona Friday on ESPN. Can… Read more »
So, as you may or may not have heard, one of the worst moments of President George W. Bush’s life was when Kanye West intimated that Mr. President did not care about the plight of Black people, specifically those in New Orleans during Katrina. Now, as anyone who knows me knows, there’s nothing more that I enjoy more than mocking… Read more »
Hawaii and the Mountain West are working toward a deal that would have the Warriors joining the MWC alongside Fresno State and Nevada (and, a year earlier, Boise State). I actually thought this sort of thing made sense, but it appears my idle speculation is turning out to be quite real! However, unlike its fellow WAC ex-pats, the Warriors would… Read more »
Our long state nightmare is finally over. And by nightmare, I mean about 6 days’ worth of post-election confusion about who was going to be our governor: that one white guy from southern Connecticut who promised to slash the budget, tax us fairly, and do it without causing any discomfort, or that one white guy from southern Connecticut who promised… Read more »
We came this close to seeing some major upsets this weekend, but in the end, the underdogs just couldn’t pull it off. Still, what started out the season as a very stratified Pac-10 (a couple of teams clearly at the top, a couple clearly at the bottom, and the other 6 mixed in the middle) is starting to be a… Read more »
