R. A. Diculous....

spent a glorious afternoon in the left field  bleachers at new shea yesterday with Jimmy Holliday, Crankie & Donn e Beisbol watching R.A. Dickey notch his 20th win......no better way to spend a Thursday....

hockey ? remember hockey? this is a song about alice

anybody here seen bobby lupo ??  what in Gods name is happenming in the NHL....call me crazy, but from where I sit it appears that the players are desperate to play...just make them a semi reasonable offer.....and most of the owners are ready to put this to bed........so whats blocking the deal ???? betman, that's it.....and a handful of small market owners........The Rangers-Boston-Detriot-Philly-Toronto- need to dump bettman or break away and form their own league.

tiny ten

another saturday....another poor showing for the tiny ten....Whisky survives Utep....Ohio State outlasts ALABAMA-birmingham....Mich State was loosing at home in the 4th qtr to eastern michigan.....Ioaw lost at home to the CHIPpewas of Central mich...Michigan turns the ball over 7 times in a loss at ND....i think denard robinson was afraid coach kelly would murder him if he beat the irish...illinois spanked again......Minny and northwestern had nice wins.........and now starts conf play....when ohios state beats the spartans are we supposed to be impressed?????

in case you missed.....and the media didnt pick up on it....ha.........caroline kennedy made a speech at the dnc and said as a catholic woman, she supports abortion....basically telling all the catholic woman of america its okay to support abortion ...like me.....and you dont have to vote your concience.....where is the outrage?   where are the US Bishops ????

this excerpt from Catholic Online.

There were a lot of bad speeches at the Democratic National Convention, but Caroline Kennedy's speech was the low point in many ways.  She got up on a national stage and used her professed Catholic faith to justify and actually demand the preservation of grave evils that the Church explicitly condemns.  She presented lies for the truth, and tried to justify it with her Catholic faith.

Romney video contd

funny, but there was more to that video that you'll probably never hear or see....at least not on ABC< NBC<  or CBS.........all they want to talk about is the 47 %.........but also in that video Romney cstates that the Palastinians are only concerned about the destruction of Isreal and that peace will never come to the region......why wont they play that ? because they are too busy convincing the Jews that this Crazy Mormon will be bad for Isreal......cant let this cat out of the bag.

incidentally....as i watched the comments about the 47% ....i couldnt help but think about where the buffalo Roam and the scene where  Hunter S. Thompson meets Nixon at the urinile.....and Nixon turns to him and says " FUCK THE DOOMED".........classic.....your a good egg Harris from the Post.....FUCK the 47%.

wake up Mitt

that tape may be a Godsend........stand behind those comments Mitt.....dont try to wooo the democrats.....dont try to be something to everyone.....this isnt high school.....these are opposing ideals and strategies....its okay to call your opponents lowlifes...if that's what you believe........dont back down, dont apologize...STAND UP for what you said.........educated America knows your Right.....when they go behind that curtain they will have to vote their conscience.....

little ten

the big bad little ten flexed their muscles yesterday with some blowout wins over weaker foes...ohio state scored late to beat unranked cal at the horseshoe.....penn state crushed navy and invited the local boy scouts into the locker room to celebrate Nittany lion style....northwestern beat boston college ( does that count as a full win ?)...michigan beat mighty umass,,,,i didnt realize they had a fottball team......minnesota barely survived over western michigan by 5 pts.....nebraska beat arkansas st...purdue beat up on eastern michigan........wisconsin snuck by utah state...........the only little ten school to play a Ranked opponent was Michigan State at home against # 20 Notre Dame..........the irish rolled 20-3.


tell us ince again how tough the big ten is brent mussburger......until of course they signa tv deal with Fox or NBC, CBS......thne espn and abc will mock the big ten on a daily basis.

sooo much trouble in the world (b.marley)

wow , with all these terrible things happening all over the planet, it makes me wonder why Americans didn't elect that guy from 4 years ago who promised to solve the worlds problems....you remember...the guy guy who was gonna invite our enemies to sit down and discuss our differences.....offer an olive branch....press the reset button.....gosh, why didnt we elect him......surely by now we would all be singing kum-by-yaa in the streets.......and if the above didn't work, i bet he would have invited everybody to the white house for a beer to discuss their problems.....such a wise man in such troubled times.....why didnt we elect him ????


as our military budgets are slashed and the next generation of patriots are watching and probably growing suspicious....one can only wonder if we will be able to defend ourselves after 4 more years of this nonsense.

i hear the wind whistle

the swaying trees and rambunctious seas


announce the dawn of another year,

just like the ones before, spirits arrive at your door

to reclaim....the lives they left too soon.

Fear not , they come in peace

to the homes and cubicles where they should still dwell

to the lives they left behind against their will, not by their choice.

acknowledge the howl on this day if no other

they are roaring in unison to remind.

comforting

it is a source of comfort when the winds of september tenth arrive every year, the trees bend ...a subtle genuflect  to acknowledge the arrival of soo many spirits in one space at the same time...its comforting to know they are still here.

little ten rides again

oh where do we start?  i have to point out how bad this conf is during September because once Conf Play starts and they beat up on each other, we will have to listen to brent nussburger tell us how much depth the conf has,,,,EVERY TEAM IS GOOD..........a Conf win is impressive, especially on the road....bullshit.

lets start with the least embarassing,,,Penn State looses at Virginia 17-16...no biggee..........and Purdue looses on the Road against in-state rival and ranked team Notre Dame.....still two more losses.....Illinois goes on the road and gets spanked by Arizona Stae....and Iowa looses its rivalry game to the mighty Cyclones of Iowa St......Ohio State Wins !!  at home against University of Central Florida....and Michigan? they survive at the big house against Air Force by 6 points.....Air force had the ball twice in the final 5 minutes with a chance to take the lead........the other ranked teams?   believe it or not they had 5 ranked teams to begin the weekend.....thats a shame....Well Nebraska looses to unranked UCLA......and Whisky looses to unranked Oregon State....you cannot make this up.....

Northwestern was the most impressive....running their record to 2-0 with a nice win over Vanderbilt.

lets face it .....this conference sucks......but they will still put 7 teams in bowl games....


things keep getting worse for Penn State.....distraught Placekicker Sam Fickens (who missed game winning kick along with 4 field goals and one extra point) attempted suicide with a gunshot to the head in his Virginia hotel room after the game.....thankfully he missed.

market watch & the ncaa's

so which conf is the worst ? that's the real debate....not who's best.....the SEC ...ho hum...not really worth wasting time here... ...but how about those media hyped programs that despite all the money and fanfare....SUCK........yep Michigan, that would be you , but your not alone my friend...your entire Conf Sucks......Whisky ? barely survives northen iowa........IOWA ? barely survives Northern Illinois....Penn State.....yeah , well at least nobody was assaulted in the showers as far as we know...Minnesota sneaks by UNLV....Mich St ?  #13 in the nation ....playing at home against a rebuilding Boise State...scores late and hangs on by 4 pts......oho state beats up on miami of ohio and acts like they just beat USC ....sad conference....although I was delighted to see Northwestern beat the turncoat Orange in the Scarrier Dome.....and Mighty Pitt was beaten at home by a lower division school...the big East cant rid themselves soon enough of these lowlifes..speakin of schools that leave the big East for greener pastures...I was shocked to see that Boston College still has a football team....i thought they folded after Matty Ryan graduated.....they really have fallen off the face of the earth.....how bout my Illini opening the season with a W.

The ACC ?   Maryland scores late to beat William & Mary 7-6......not a joke.....they were down 6-0 in the 4th quarter at home........Wake Forest ?   hangs on the beat Liberty....i swear you can't make this stuff up.

as for the Market watch......I think Isreal attacks the Iranian Nuclear Facilities on Friday Oct 5th.....let the market dropoff before the weekend.......Monday is Columbus day, notoriously slow day and after the hedge funds drive prices down 7 or 800 pts....and everyone digests the outcome and realizes the world is a safer, better place .....the market will come back.......make sure you have a few sheckles on the sidelines for late monday afternoon......bargains galore.


that's all I got........Go Yellow Jackets....gonn a drink a few of Dales Mommas Little Yellow Pills(ners) as we dismantle that other fraudelent program VT.........I'M a Rambling Wreck from Georgia Tech and a Heckuva of an Engineer.

dont be alarmed

never worry , never fear......sweater nite has not sold it's  soul....the prior post was placed by yours truly, it provides a sneak peak at the collectors item photobook that will be on display at SNXV.....feel free to peruse from cover to cover, gasp at the startling photos, snicker at the collective silliness and wax poetic about the many, many beers that have been imbibed.........15 is a milestone....and it may or may not be the end of the line for sweater nite, but it certainly warrants a pause for reflection.
