What you Smell is YOU

So little time and soooo much insanity to address.
Whoa Sparky; The Gaels are getting just what they deserve. Any team with a midget in shorts as a mascot should lose every game. Jeff Ruland is the highest paid coach in the MAAC and has lost 21 straight games. His excuse is we graduated 5,000 career points last spring. First, I wanna see their diplomas. Next, he still recruited the 13 kids on scholarship still in the program. If he's paying them to play they should be pretty good, right? You can't lose 21 straight games in this league and keep your job, can you?

Anna; get off of Babbo, or Comet or whatever cleanser they name the horse after. Yeah its too bad they shipped him off the the big stud farm in the sky, but he's a horse, dear you'll find a new friend to lose your money on next summer.
Bracket Buster -- Does Boise State have a blue court too? Will Brown and UAlbany must be real happy about flying, driving and taking a Conestoga about 2,000 miles to play on ESPNU at Smurf U. they could stay home, play St Peter's or St. Bernard on TW 3 and get a bigger audience. This Bracket Buster sucks!

Are we doing movie reviews now? Okay, Mongo Stu's favorite, I admit. That movie should be mandatory viewing in all freshman anthropology or sociology, pharmacology; aw fuckit make all the cology classes watch it.

Stu

Well, bust my brackets

Hey, Stu, help me out here.
I know I'm a little slow, but I'm not getting this whole BracketBusters thing. Where's the love when the Spayed Danes get sent to Boise and the Halos draw a dogshit team from a dogshit conference? Can you decline to participate if you get a raw deal? If this is the way the Danes and Fran's Failures are going to be treated, why bother? JUST SAY NO.
Good thing that don't have this crap in college hockey. The Engineers would be getting sent to Alabama-Huntsville and Union would be heading to MapQuest to find out how the hell to get to Mankato.
I see Anna's got her dander up about Barbaro finally getting Jimi Hedrixed. I wonder if they were playing Purple Haze when they stuck him with the big needle? Imagine wasting all that time and money on something that you knew was going to croak anyway. Oh wait, your wife has been doing that for years.
Flipping through the channels at 2 this morning (yes, the cave has cable) and stumbled on Blazing Saddles. Is there a more politically incorrect movie ever made? Love the scene where they're going to build a replica of the town, and the railroad workers show up. "We'll take the niggers and the chinks, but no Irish." Can you imagine trying to sneak that into a movie today? My, my, how the world has changed. Did Alex Karras win an Oscar for his performance as Mongo?
Got to go. The dust bunnies are starting to mate. Where's the hose?
Sparky

Can you smell it?

Yo, sluggo.
What's that I smell? I smell an upset of epic proportions. I smell Iona coming into the TUC Thursday night and knocking off Siena. What the hell's the matter with the Gaels? 0-21? The worst team in America? This has got to be killing Jeff Ruland (good thing he's an Iona grad, or he'd already have the door banging off his wide ass). If he has to cut off a limb, he'll have the Gaels fired up Thursday. The Halos are coming off two tough road losses and I'm still not sure if Fran the Man is a master motivator (that almost sounds kinky). If Siena's ready, they can win by twedy (lay off the spelling...it rhymes). If Gales are loose, Siena is a cooked goose.
Speaking of underachievers (yeah, I'm talking about you, putz), what is Teddy Hockey doing at Harvard? The bloody Crimson can't be that bad. No way they should be sitting in the cellar on the eve of the Beanpot. Steam has got to be coming out of Bill Cleary's ears.
Anticipation keeps building as I wait to hear who Don Audinocorleone brings in to play quarterback next year. Rumors are that the staff is chasing Billy Ray Buchanan, a 6-foot-2, 206-pounder out of El Paso who is supposed to be the fastest white boy in Texas. The only problem is that Billy Ray's blood alcohol level is usually higher than his GPA. But hey, CAN HE THROW THE DEEP BALL?
Nasty rumor going around that the Bears have a bounty out on Peyton Manning. Hey, just win, baby. Wonder if Tonya Harding's crew is busy.
Can't believe you threw Gary Gabriel into this pile of dung. That should be good for his career.
Got to run. One of my other personalities is calling me.
Sparky

Yo, Linotype Breath

Hey Sparky;
Name the only high-ranking college administrator that has worked at two universities that won Division I men's championships in 1985.
Time's up. Dr. Gary Gabriel RPI (they won the national title in hockey) and Villanova (men's basketball).

Hey, I finally determined that indeed golf and bowling are not sports. I know, professional golfers really are quality athletes and Tiger Woods is an elite athlete and all that, but here is why they are not really sports: No legitimate sport would allow dufusses (or is it dufi) like you and me to play at the same facility as the great ones play at in those sports. I mean, you and I could play Pebble Beach or almost any PGA facility. We could also keggle and slurp down some beers at any bowling establishment in the country. No way does anyone allow us to play baseball at Yankee Stadium, football at Texas Stadium or hockey at the Boston Garden. Now, for enough beer we might be able to log a couple of laps at Daytona, but I don't think so. Anyway, golf and bowling can't be sports, otherwise they would never let us anywhere near any place that host those events. Ask Anna, she will agree.
Stu

End the madness

We have been too silent too long. Please considert and make a stand. This has got to end. We need leaders who wil do what is right.

Brokeback TV

I was home a little early tonight and got to see some of the evening newscasts. It reminded me of why I spend so little time watching local TV news. After about 7 minutes of commercials, 5-6 minutes of happy talk, teasers and recaps and another 3 minutes of the weather guy playing with all his high-tech toys, you get about 11 minutes of news.

Then tonight on TV 6 Sports Director Doug Sherman does a story about some kid playing for Mike Dean at Wagner. His justification for doing his second story in about 10 days on a really bad Division I program 150 miles from Albany was that Coach Deane once coached at Siena (about 15 years ago) and the kid he featured, who is not from the area, has some of his extended family living here. Wow, how lame. How about actually doing some story on local kids playing at college programs outside the area, or better yet local kids at LOCAL colleges and high schools.

The other laugher on that newscast came at 5:40 when they went to Fred Dicker for some political analysis. You know him, the commentator guy that pisses and moans about all the corruption in Albany and takes money for speaking to groups that spend lots of money to Lobby in Albany. Did TV 6 or WROW do any stories on that? I don't know, but would like to hear from anyone who saw that mentioned on the air.

Anyway, Fred shows up on camera in a cowboyesque string tie, a shirt with what looked like suede patches on the shoulders and a darker colored suede vest over the top of it all. It looked like something outa Buffalo Bob meets The Producers. If I had not seen it, I would never have believed it. Here is a hard-working political reporter who has clearly let the national and statewide attention go to his shiny little head. Come on Freddy, you aren't Truman Capote.

Rock 'em Sock 'em

I like the idea of the battling midgets. The ECAC needs something to spice it up and that might do it.
Let's get some women coaches in the league too; the men's league. That would make things a little more interesting too.
