Oh, my heart. My Cougs beat Arizona State tonight, just when I'd been ready to give up hope altogether. I actually teared up a little at the win, which hasn't happened since they won on my wedding day during a dark, dark season when they did not win very much at all. (It was like they did it just for me! ;) Connor Halliday ILU, please stay healthy ( Read more... )

So, my NCAA tourney bracket? Is supremely fucked. (I believed in George Mason. And Baylor.) But, then, who in their right mind would have picked four 12-13 seeds to advance to Round 2? No one, that's who. At least I can put my instilled, lifelong hatred of Notre Dame* to good use tomorrow. Wazzu buried Winthrop 71-40 yesterday and it was glorious ( Read more... )

In all honesty, the most interesting thing about the ASU-Oregon game is the anticipation of whatever crazy bullshit the Oregon coach's wife is going to pull this week. (John Canzano is, by all reports, kind of asstastic, but still ( Read more... )

I'll take the W, but that doesn't mean I wouldn't still like to see Doba given a gold watch and our sincere thanks at the end of the season. Doba may be one of the nicest guys in college football and all, but the program has floundered hopelessly since Mike Price got exiled to UTEP.

That being said, it's an overall good week for the Cougs: Wazzu ( Read more... )

So I was wrong. Last Saturday was the worst football day ever. I can only remember one season since the November afternoon in 1992 that Drew Bledsoe and a snowy end zone made me a Cougar fan, that they've sucked this badly. I know there were dark times in the 70s and 80s, but that was before my time.

FSN replayed the 2002 Apple Cup the other night ( Read more... )

Worst football day ever. Oh, the Cougs. Oh, the Beavs. Oh, the humanity.

I'm also sitting on my hands to keep from replying to this thread. Not every woman who ever beer bonged at a Date Dash got a C-average in General Studies and went on to become a pharmaceutical sales rep, for fuck's sake. The Linux club's fundraiser is probably in questionable ( Read more... )

Running commentary from last week's Washington State/Oregon game, via text message:

pink_hobbit: TD!!!
viola_dreamwalk: Dude. *Another* one. Off the interception.
pink_hobbit: Fucking awesome. I can't believe we didn't go.
viola_dreamwalk: Who's Kazakhstan now, bitches?
pink_hobbit: Srsly ( Read more... )

The general consensus from yesterday? It was ugly, but we'll take the W.

Hot damn, the Oklahoma Sooners sure can bring the stupid:

pink_hobbit: Hee.
viola_dreamwalk: You know, I demand that the 2003 WSU-Notre Dame game be stricken from the record! Clearly, the Pope wielded his influence with the Baby Jesus to supernaturally cause the Cougars miraculous self-destruction in the fourth quarter. Nothing else can explain it!

A recommended recipe for the cooks on my friends list: Chupe de Pollo con Chipotle w/Cornbread & Mesquite Honey

The soup is spicy, and the pureed veggies in the broth make it healthy and tasty. The touch of cream in the soup and the honey with the cornbread offset the chipotles very nicely. (As a sidenote, I use a hand blender for this rather than ( Read more... )
