“Class C” - A Review

Tuesday, March 4th, 2008

(As I'm writing this, I'm finding that it's a mish-mash of a movie review and my own remembrances of tournament time. I ask your indulgence.) Saying that "Class C," is a film about basketball is like saying that "The Bridge on the River Kwai" is about some guys who ...

For That Class Act, Bill Belichick

Sunday, February 3rd, 2008

I swear to Gord -- I'm almost happier right now than when my Stillers won 2 years go. Almost. 18-1. Instead of the perfect season, it will go down as the biggest choke in history. Somewhere in Idaho tonight, Bill Buckner is smiling. BTW, Bill Belichick is a douchebag.

What I Want vs. What I Will Get, Super Bowl Edition

Sunday, February 3rd, 2008

There is, generally speaking, a rather large gap between what I want and what I get. Today's football game will likely be no different. What I want: Giants win: 38-34. What I will get: Patriots win: 31-17. It wouldn't be so bad, but are there any fans ...

Today, We Are All Giants Fans

All of us post-35ish guys were hoping for you, Brett: Now, it's all in Eli's hands. *Whimper*

Good On Ya, Saints!

Tuesday, December 18th, 2007

Not only did our hometown Carroll College Saints bring home their 5th NAIA National Championship in 6 years, they also made the cover of Sports Illustrated. A fitting finale to a great year, and a great string of wins.

The Best Football News of the Season

Joe Thiesmann? GONE! Next up? Michael Irvin? Oh, don't tease me like that.

A Conundrum

Wednesday, December 20th, 2006

Throughout history, there have been famous duos, which have sparked heated debate and, in some cases, have ended friendships: Ginger or Mary Ann Jennifer or Bailey Troi or Crusher Hoshi or T'Pol Starbuck or Boomer OK, those last 3 are pretty nerdy, but you know what I'm getting at. And now, I present a new one: Suzy or ...

Well, Thank Heavens!

It's good to know that this lame-duck Congress is not ignoring important issues that affect us all.

So Funny It’s Not

Monday, December 4th, 2006

Cribbed from eGriz.com. A UM fan 'splainin' things to UMass: "You are Tina to our Ike. Remember the bruises will heal but the memories last a lifetime."

Griz Advance, Cats Bow Out

Sunday, December 3rd, 2006

In a defensive struggle, the hallowed and beloved Griz held Payton Award finalist Arkee Whitlock to just 80 rushing yards (35 of which came on SIU's lone scoring drive) to secure a 20-3 victory over Southern Illinois, and a home field semi-final game next weekend against UMass. (Either 5:30 ...

Thursday Night Football

Thursday, November 30th, 2006

With your hosts, "Quaa" and "Lude." Cripes, it almost -- almost -- makes me long for Dierdorf or Theismann.

While We’re Talking About Football…

Friday, November 24th, 2006

And we were*. Did any of you catch the inaugural broadcast on the NFL Network? If you did, I have some observations to share: Bryant Gumbel as the play-by-play guy could put an insomniac on speed to sleep. Deion Sanders needs a nice warm can of STFU. Did the whole production feel like ...

Question

Monday, November 20th, 2006

Is Eli Manning even old enough to shave? Just wondering.

Montana Playoff Game Times

Monday, November 20th, 2006

Like I said earlier, Montana has 3 college football teams in the playoffs this coming Saturday. The Carroll College Fighting Saints are at home against St. Xavier. I wonder who God favors in this game. This game is set for a 12:07 MST kickoff. The Hallowed and Beloved Griz are ...
