I am without speech

Un-freaking-believable win and finish last night for BC. I’d pretty much given up with about 6 minutes left but continued to watch.  I’m still shaking. I fielded calls from CG, TD, my bro and my dad, along with an email on my blackberry from my boss, within 30 seconds after the winning TD. Check out the [...]

Thank You Notes

For any wedding attendees out there reading this, yes, we haven’t gotten the thank you cards out yet. This is partly due to my illness and partly due to my work schedule since the wedding, and partly due to the fact that they’re pretty time consuming. I believe I have 37 done, but expect to [...]

Biggest Game Since 2004

In 2004, BC needed to beat a bad Syracuse team to make it to a BCS bowl. BC got crushed at home, 44-17. Tonight, BC has a chance to shut up the naysayers, keep its ACC title and National Championship hopes alive, and make a statement about BC as a program with a win at [...]

Crap, Another Retraction

A while back I sang the praises of TMQ- Greg Easterbrook’s weekly Tuesday Morning Quarterback column on page 2 of espn.com.  Well, yesterday he wrote a simply horrible column in which he claimed that the Pats represented evil and the Colts represented good.  Here’s the article: http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page2/story?page=easterbrook/071023&sportCat=nfl

It’s an awful premise.  This site (scroll down a [...]

Big Words on Sports Radio

It must have been a record. During the course of one day while listening to EEI in the car for short periods of time (Dale and Holley for about 30 minutes and then Mike Adams for about 15 minutes), the following words were uttered by callers:

 -lackadacious (presumably, lackadaisical; Manny Ramirez is lackadacious in the outfield);

-euboric (presumably, euphoric; I [...]

Poor Guy

He must have been given a hard time from the other kids growing up, don’t you think?

Correction

BC definitely plays at ND in 2009- so the last scheduled game between the two is not 2008 as I previously wrote. It’s unclear to me whether BC plays ND in 2010.

Last week’s game was a bit ugly what with all the penalties and bogus calls, but they got the job done.  They’re off this weekend and [...]

BC- ND this weekend

BC and ND will be playing each other this Saturday for the first time since 2004.  This year’s game will be in South Bend, and Notre Dame will visit The Heights in 2008.  After that, the series goes on an indefinite hiatus and it doesn’t appear they’ll be meeting any time soon.  BC has won [...]

On Second Thought

Well, one of my World Series picks was a bust, as the Cubs lost in 3 games to the DBacks. I did correctly predict (albeit not in the correct number of games) the Indians over my Yanks, Sox over the Angles, and Rockies over the Phils.

The Sox- Indians series should be a good one, as should [...]

My Baseball Picks

Just going to throw my picks out there for the 2007 playoffs:

Indians over Yanks in 5 (yes, it pains me to type it)

Red Sox over Angels in 4 (ditto)

Cubs over Dbacks in 5

Rockies over Phillies in 5

ALCS: Indians over Sox in 7

NLCS: Cubs over Rockies in 6

Indians over Cubs in 5.

Hope I’m wrong.
