Random News and Notes
-My Braves finally got eliminated from playoff contention last night thanks to Philly. What really sucks is that they made a charge late, but it wasn’t enough as the losses in June and July came back to haunt them. Whoever said games in April and May don’t count was wrong. They need a good quality pitcher in the third slot in the rotation as musical rotation to help out Smoltzy and Huddy. Perhaps if Hampton comes back finally…I don’t know. I do know that we need to give Texiera whatever he wants because that guy is a stud.-It’s about a month to the one of the two days that defines my identity. Pheasant season opens in a month and I’m starting to get the fever. I haven’t even had time to go out and scout yet and that sucks.
-I still hate WSU Comm 325. Seriously.
-Tonight is the homecoming game at my alma matter for high school football. I’m afraid that it won’t be a close game as I chatted up the opposition’s defensive line coach who just happens to be on my softball team. I asked him what he was bringing to the table and he looked at me with a helpless look and said “Not much.”
-Yesterday I was in the grocery store when this guy asks me out of the blue, “Do you go to Wichita State?” Now, I just happened to be standing there in a WSU tshirt and a WSU hat. “Yeah, I do,” I replied. He then said “So that’s what a Shocker looks like.” I grimaced and said sarcastically, “Yep, that’s our mascot.” He then said “Well it’s not as bad as the Western Kentucky Hilltoppers Big Red Blob. Is it electric around campus?” Without missing a beat I said “Not as much, but we get a charge out of being there.” With that, I picked up my groceries and walked out the door.
-I still hate Comm 325. Really.
-My Cowboys look good and my Huskers can’t tackle.
