Talk about shitting the bed!

We were talking about Amare Stoudemire Chris Bosh and who do we get Brad Miller and John Salmons! Miller is a fellow Boilermaker but come on! Pax needs to go!

Sorry it has been a while

I was in Indiana after Christmas and from there I went to Atlanta for a Windows 2003 Server boot camp. I didn't really get a chance to explore the ATL because when I was not in class I was studying. I noticed that a lot of people in the deep south sound like Forest Gump. I am sure that this is just a coincidence. I had a chance to watch the Bulls a few times and they look just as bad in the ATL as they do anywhere else. I am not sure what the Bulls are going to do they are a mess. Oh well at least the President is a Sox fan

T-Dizzle's Sunday

Yesterday it was freezing here in Iowa. Of course yesterday was the day for my daughters birthday party. T-Dizzle took eight teenagers to the Iowa State vs University of Minnesota woman's basketball game. Prior to yesterday I'd never heard the Kate Perry song; well now T-Diz knows the words. I must have heard it twelve times and every time I had eight girls singing and dancing in the minivan. To be honest with you it was kind of funny and I started to wonder if I was that obnoxiously happy at that age?

TDizzle is feeling a little old

Today my oldest daughter turns fourteen. Man it makes you feel old; she is going to be a freshman in high school and the worst part is I remember what I was like as a fourteen old and I can't imagine that boys have changed much in the past twenty three years.

I thought this was funny

The Bulls are bad

I am fortunate enough to only be able to listen to the Bulls games lately. Because if I had to watch this I may puke. The ONLY bright spot is Derrick Rose, I wish Tyrus Thomas would come around. We need to get rid of Gordon, Noah and Gooden now! I am almost thankful that the games have not been televised by my cable provider

Thanksgiving is coming

I was out surfing the net today and one of my favorite sites; Holy Taco had an awesome post on the seven worst Thanksgiving guests. It was hilarious; I know I will see a couple of these this Thursday.

Man the Bulls are BAD!

Where do I begin? Noah bad, Tyrus lazy and bad, Larry Hughes cry baby, BG7 shooting everything and gad, Aaron Gray does not belong in the league. Did I miss anyone? Vinny Del Negro clueless!

Man this weekend sucked!

First off the Boilermakers lost to Iowa. Living among Hawkeye fans I heard about this; repeatedly. Then my current team, the Iowa State Cyclones were blown out by Missouri. However the Big 12 is awesome this year and they did play better than I expected. The Bulls won however the Bears didn't even bother showing up; against the freaking Packers! If you only show up for two games a year it better be against the Packers! Oh well.

It's been busy around here

Well the election is over and history was made last week. I had to reluctantly move on to my accounting project; which is now complete. So onto the Bulls. For some reason another the Bulls have not been televised by my cable provider and it sounds like I am not missing much. I am really tired of Joakim Noah and Tyrus Thomas has been bad too. Is it too early to hope for the number one pick this year too?

A witness to history

I woke up this morning and I had a weird feeling. It was a feeling that I am going to witness history today; we may be electing our first African-American president or the first female vice president of the United States. It is a weird somber mood as we open the books on a new era and close the books on the Bush era. How will we view Bush? Will the Obama/McCain era be any better? Time will tell

This is the beginning of the Rose era!

The game was not televised by my cable provider but from what I heard on the radio it sounds like we have a point guard! I am praying that he can do for the Bulls what Chris Paul and Deron Williams do for the Hornets and the Jazz. I want to see how he does on Friday versus the Celtics before we start our all star campaign but I am sure the more time he is on the floor the better we will be!

You got to blame it on something, Blame it on the rain

This is post is going to cover a couple topics. First off I know it is another Milli Vanilli themed post so I will start with this being the song of the week. How did I come to this? Other than my love of 80's music my two Chicago teams were bounced out of the playoffs, the Sox I initially picked to finish third in the division so when they made the playoffs I was surprised. The Cubs, if you listened to their ass clown fans, were supposed to be opening against the Rays tomorrow. I did pick them to be first round exits this year and last but that is besides the point, this was supposed to be their year. Oh well.

On the college football front my Alma mater, Purdue, is not doing very well this year. My current institution, Iowa State University seems to have gotten their wins out of the way early this year anyway I give you Milli Vanilli because you have to blame it on something, blame it on the rain!

The Juice has been squeezed!

I hate to say this but people in this country were not going to be happy until OJ Simpson was is jail. It has been thirteen years since his acquittal on double murder charges and ever since then the target has been on his back. I am surprised he in not on death row for J walking or a parking meter violation. Only in America can you be found not guilty of murder and then have the bereaved family sue you for monetary damages for the wrongful death of the people involved. There is a special place in hell for people like Fred Goldman and his family. No matter what happens to OJ he will always be one of the great running backs in football history; that is unless Fred Goldman sues the NFL to have this taken away from him too.

Big weekend in Chicagoland sports

First off not to toot my horn but I predicted the Cubs losing the the first round two years in a row! Last year I predicted the sweep I almost did that again but I gave the Cubs the benefit of a doubt and thought they would win one game. This will not deter the fans they will be there next year to watch them collapse, 100 years and counting.

Second thank you to the Sox now go out and win another game today!

Third I guess I should have had more faith in the Bears, Kyle went out there and aired it out against the Lions. We will see how they do against the Vikings.

Random thoughts and and the song of the week

This morning I was driving to work when I realized that summer was over and the leaves were changing. While I enjoy this time of year I do miss summertime.



This weeks song is Summertime by Will Smith. The last couple of nights I've been watching VH-1's 100 best Hip Hop songs; some of this has made me feel old. So much for the nostalgia on to other things

1. The Cubs are through. You can tell they are beaten. So much for Jim Belushi making an ass out of himself at the rally.
2. The Sox still have a chance today and I believe they will come home to Sweet Home Chicago even at one.
3. Tonight TDizzle has to go and watch the oldest dizzette march with the high school band. I really feel sorry for band members who have to show all of this fake school spirit.
4. I am picking the Bears by seven this week over the Lions.

NLDS prediction

I know the game is on and I've not seen any of it but I am predicting the Dodgers in four. Big Z has not been good lately and I think the Dodgers are better suited for this short series. We will see.

Thank you

Suck it Minnesota! I can't believe it now on to Tampa! My prediction is the Sox in five.

Please White Sox

Beat the freakin Twins tonight! I know I've not always had the most confidence in you this year but please, Ozzie please keep Junior out of the lineup. This is the game of your life John Danks go out there and give it to them! Then on to Tampa to dispense with the Rays!

Way to go Kyle

From one Boilermaker to another good job, I was excited to see you come out throwing in the first quarter and go to Greg Olsen in the first quarter. You reminded me of your days in the Black and Old Gold. I think last nights performance went a long way to silence the critics. Maybe you can make your way to the South Side and let some of your luck rub off on the beloved White Sox.
