As you may know this weekend is my Sports Weekend Extravaganza. The Maryland game in College Park on Saturday and the Arizona game in Charlottesville on Sunday will make for a nice two-team parlay both gambling wise and emotionally. Should Nick and I go goose-egg, well, I'm not ready to talk about that.
In the mean time, the following I feel is much like candy, sweet...
Rutgers beating Louisville. I'll keep this short - Rutgers is clearly not going to the title game, Louisville may have had they gone undefeated, and West Virginia is going to abruptly end the argument by beating Rutgers anyway. Nice.
By the way, Shiano got nailed in the head by the gatorade cooler, it hurt a lot even though he won't admit it.
Dogfights on the History Channel. Tonight at 10et. Every Friday in fact at 10et. The show is basically TopGun without women. I saw the premier last Friday and was blown away. The History Channel basically dissects actual airplane dogfights in several wars with the pilots narrating. They use flight simulators to animate the maneuvers and do a great job describing just how ridiculous these maneuvers are. After just one show I am willing to go out an hour later on Fridays. I hope tonight's show is as good as the first because I've been looking forward to it for 167 hours. This could be the easiest Dvd I've ever bought my father for Christmas.
Shake your money maker. Its ok if you don't but you'll be hearing this song all holiday season in the clubs. And why not. After murmurs of Ludacris' new album being pedestrian he did what any good business man would - grab onto Pharell's magic carpet and let it ride. As Adam would say, "he is fa real" and that's why I call Adam "the truth."
The Gears of War Commercial. I struggle to think of a better commercial for a video game. A few things about this commercial make me willing to pay $800 for the system and game. The first is obviously the song. It's from the Donnie Darko soundtrack and is called, "Mad World." The song is eerie yet soothing and mandates your attention. You know its a video game because of the graphics, which are a bit lost on YouTube, but my friends who own the game say that the commercial is identical to gameplay. By this I mean the cut-scenes in most video games are really sweet while the actual gameplay is not as sweet graphic wise, apparently not for this gem. The expressionless face when the marine/dude sees this insane robot alium thing is priceless. Thanks for not showing me the ending either because I'm still intrigued. Stunning.
Unlike the History Channel, the following is quite lame...
Bryan Pata. How many ridiculous things have to occur before the Maryland-Miami game. A terrible brawl that embarrasses their program, a great coach fighting for his job and a consistently underperforming Miami squad was what Maryland was already up against. Now the tragic death of a Miami lineman and what else could possibly galvanize this team more. This is the last thing Maryland needed. Yesyes I'mterriblyinsensitive I know, but I'm going to be miserable if an exogenously inspired Miami team in the midst of a meaningless season ends something great for Maryland.
Laura and Brian. These people were supposed to have sold me their car by now and some stupid form they needed that was supposed to take 3 business days (on last Wednesday) still hasn't come yet. Obviously I don't believe them and something is going on here that I don't know, but if I don't get this car on this coming Monday, I'm going to be furious.
I'm not ready to talk about:
Going 0-2 on the emotional parlay. The sign Nick wanted me to show at the Maryland game. Javon Walker or my title for this post.
