The Poster Open

July 31st, 2010 · 1 Comment · Ground Possum

Yesterday, three members of the Poster got out on the links to hit it around a bit.  Though Ground Possum jumped out to a front nine lead, Doc Hollywood scorched the back nine with a 39 to take the overall title by 3 strokes.  (It should be noted that Ground Possum predicted his own loss, [...]

College Football Mystification

July 29th, 2010 · No Comments · T-Willikers

I like how this business with embattled former Oregon QB Jeremiah Masoli is somehow legal–finding a way to enroll him in one of three grad programs Oregon does not offer to make him eligible to play at another school (in this case, Ole Miss). But somehow texting recruits more than X number of times is [...]

Redickulous Poetry

Ding Dong, Da Boss is Dead

July 14th, 2010 · 4 Comments · T-Willikers

All-Star Stupidness

July 13th, 2010 · 2 Comments · Ground Possum

It’s All-Star Tuesday once again, and that means, like last year and the previous, it is time to talk about stupid stuff regarding this game.  Will it be different from last year’s rants?  Prolly not.  But hey, it’s something to do, so whatever.
First, the winner getting home-field in the WS undermines the entire season’s goal– [...]
