i'm not eating corn for a year

f-word. that game sucked. i hate nebraska. i miss riley skinner. f-word.

having just watched the first half of "star wars: the legacy revealed" on the history channel (the nfl? what's that?), i have but one thing to say:

I still can't believe Darth Vader built C-3PO. I mean, what the hell.

The boundaries of language I quietly cursed / And all the different names for the same thing.

The Powers That Be at Wake have reached an agreement with BB&T for naming rights to Groves Stadium. As far as I'm concerned it's basically free money, but I can understand that others don't like the idea of "BB&T Field." Just remember, it could have been much, much worse.

And if that doesn't scare Wake students enough, apparently there's a menacing alligator on the loose near campus. From a student-wide e-mail:

"Recently, the University learned that an alligator, approximately two feet in length, is in Lake Katherine at Reynolda Gardens. At the suggestion of Forsyth County Animal Control staff, the University has reported the alligator's presence to a non-profit organization that rescues reptiles and moves them to appropriate locations.

Meanwhile, the University Police department asks that people stay away from the alligator and report its exact location if anyone sees it. The number to call is 758-5591 or 758-5911.

The alligator was reported to University Police on August 31. Officers saw the alligator on a log in the lake, near the lake's bank, and promptly contacted Forsyth County Animal Control. That same day, county staff recommended that the University ask Tar Heel Reptile Rescue to capture it.

Since that time, the rescue organization has attempted but failed to capture it. Efforts to remove the alligator will continue.

Wake Forest News Service."

That's right. We pawned off campus security to the Tar Heels. God help us all.

PS - bonus points for identifying the song reference in the title.

kevin youklilis is driving me insane

For the past week I've been alternating having Kevin Youkilis in my starting line-up and on my bench. These are the results...

Starting: 4 games, 0-11, 8 K's.
Benched: 3 games, 4-10, 2 home runs, 6 RBI, 2 K's.

What did I ever do to deserve this!?

game day!

The wait is over.

Wake Forest kicks off its first game of the year today at 3:30 against BC. Depending o yo' region, it may be on ABC, it may be on ESPN, it may be nowhere to be found. I think I'll be getting ESPN around here, but if not its hello sports bar because I'm not missing this.

Also, I got an X-Box 360. Heh heh heh.

EDIT - WHAT THE F@#$!? WISCONSIN/WASH ST IS ON ABC AND ESPN? WHAT THE HELL IS THE POINT OF THAT?

F$%&!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


HOLY SH*T NEVER MIND UPDATE - ESPN SWITCHED TO WAKE JUST IN TIME FOR AN ALPHONSO SMITH PICK SIX!!!!!!!!! TOUCHDOWN!!!!!!!!!!!!


GO DEACS!!

And App State just beat #5 Michigan. Holy Crap. Go Mountaineers!


Post-game wrap-up: Dammit. Losing Skinner really hurt, but at least this Hodges kid looked pretty good. I'm preferring to think about App State's universe-altering upset over Michigan. Come to think of it, if given the choice between Wake winning today and App winning.... I still would have chosen Wake, but I would have hesitated for at least like a split second.

Final thoughts for today: The only evidence needed to prove that re-naming Division I-AA the "Division I Football Championship Subdivision" was a horrible, horrible idea is that everyone still says "Division I-AA." The Powers That Be need to man up and admit they screwed the pooch on that one big time.
