Beavers over Trojans!

It was a tale for the ages - The #1 ranked Trojans against the unranked Beavers. Most wouldn't have given those frisky beavers a chance against the mighty power of the Trojan warriors but this is a rivalry that goes back a long time. And like many rivalry games - the statistics get thrown out the window and all bets are off because anything goes!


Yes, the Trojans are a high flying potent offense. They relish penetrating every defensive unit it comes in contact with. This team keeps its eye on the prize and is always looking for the end zone. They score points and lots of them. It would be easy for me to go along with the crowd and predict a victory for the Trojans.

But I also know that the Beaver defense is a tough nut to crack. They are stingy with yardage and teams have to work for every inch of ground they gain. They are merciless in the red zone and will block your attempt to score every time. And while they can play a tough ball game, they also have the talent on their squad to play a coy cat and mouse game, disguising their intentions and then sacking the ball-caller with a trick play.

A classic battle between two titans for the ages. It was a game that could have gone either way. But I had my suspicions that the Beavers will pull it out in the end. I know I preferred the Beavers over the Trojans. How about you?

Storm, Hannah Terrorizes East Coast?

I wish someone had bothered to ask me about the effects of the Hannah Storm on our eastern coast. Everyone said she was going to be disastrous. They said she would be relentless in her pursuit of destruction. They said she would terrorize the coast and devastate livestock and real estate. They said she was a unforgiving mistress of death and to beware her raw power.

As far as I know Hannah Storm is a perfectly respectable news caster with great camera presence, solid sports knowledge, and impeccable teeth. In the end Ms. Storm's trip up the eastern sea-board did very little to harm any one or any thing and I suspect she won over a few hearts and minds in the process.

McCain - Palin

I'm a democrat - always have been. I find the narrow minded social elitism of the republican party to be almost vomit inducing. For years republicans have painted democrats as communists always shrewdly avoiding the fact that republicans are far closer to fascists than dems are to commies. I never thought I would ever vote for a republican... until now.

The recent announcement of McCain choosing Palin as his running mate has caused me to call into question everything about politics. To be honest, I believe it is a genius move. I have had a tremendous amount of respect for Palin's work for many years. I cannot think of a more talented and funnier candidate for office and I feel now is the time to make the switch.

To be honest I don't really understand Michael Palin's qualifications for the position of Vice President of the United States - but you can't argue with a man that invented the genius of "I'm a Lumberjack."

Go McCain - Palin!!!!
