Retire Already

Brett Favre: Packers should let me play elsewhere
I’ve been an admirer if not an outright fan of the Green Bay Packers going back to the Bart Starr/Boyd Dowler/Max McGee days. News like that in the posted link always makes me shake my head. Favre, you’ve won Super Bowls, you’ve been an Iron [...]

Obligatory SuperBowl Weekend Fandom

February 2, 2008 – 6:04 pm

I never thought I’d wave the banner for an NFC East team, but I’ll be rooting for the New York Giants tomorrow. I like them partly because of their underdog status and partly because a bunch of my and my little bride’s coworkers are Giants fans.
I like Eli Manning; I like his dad Archie, [...]

Orange Bowl

January 3, 2008 – 7:40 pm

Watching pre-game hype on Fox. In spite of the fact that Bob Dole spoke for the Jayhawks in the overview of the two schools, I’m rooting for Kansas anyhow.
I was a KU student the last time they went to the Orange Bowl, and hope this year’s outcome is more favorable.
Rock Chalk!

It’s Hard to Rally ’round a Math Class

December 18, 2007 – 10:56 pm

While watching NCAA Basketball a while ago this evening, I was struck by the number of players who have been declared “academically ineligible” for upcoming NCAA football bowl games, and who therefore will not be playing.
Without doing any research at all, I’d surmise this is some NCAA final inspection rule prior to the football [...]

A Bit Short

November 25, 2007 – 10:40 am

Last night’s Kansas-Missouri football Border War was an outstanding game; unfortunately, the Jayhawks came up on the short end of a 36-28 score.
Taking nothing away from the outstanding play by Missouri, it doesn’t take a huge sports analyst to say that had the ‘Hawks rushed the ball better, had they not turned the ball over [...]

Hoping to Rock the Chalk Again

November 24, 2007 – 4:30 pm

For Kansas fans, Kansas fan wannabes, and Kansas expatriates, tonight’s Kansas vs Missouri football game has been much anticipated. Even more so, since LSU lost yesterday. The game is not only for a berth in the Big 12 Championship, but for #1 national ranking.
I used to rate KU’s football program on whether they [...]

More Fallen Records

November 4, 2007 – 11:38 am

Some may accuse me of being a fair-weather Kansas Jayhawks football fan, throwing them under the bus when they’re struggling, and wrapping himself in crimson and blue when they’re on top. There may be some truth to that. In prior seasons, the Hawks oftentimes struggled to play .500 ball; the reality was that [...]

Filling the Time

October 28, 2007 – 10:55 pm

I flipped over to the Washington Redskins/New England Patriots game after the stock car race. The announcers just commented that this is the first time in history that two coaches, each having 3 or more Super Bowl rings, have faced each other in a game.
With the Pats up 45-0, and showing no signs of [...]

Rock Chalk Jayhawk!

October 28, 2007 – 3:54 pm

I don’t follow college football with the fervor I once did; it’s a case of oversupply, with an endless stream of games starting on Thursday night, and continuing through Saturday. I guess teevee revenues are fine for the schools, but the glut of games leaves me overwhelmed. Last weekend in Roanoke, we saw [...]

Go, Chieves

October 14, 2007 – 6:38 pm

They have a halftime lead, 20-7. During the second half, they could still get handed their stindeens in a paper sack, but for now, I’m a happy boy.
