In the middle of the movie "Caddyshack", a bishop is playing golf in a thunderstorm. The reason he is playing is that "the good Lord would not distrup the best golf day of my life." Well, after he missed a putt on the 9th hole, he raised his putter over his head and yelled "Nooooooooooooooo!" Sure enough, a lighting bolt hit the putter, which sent ( Read more... )

I've been thinking about some things this week.

First, I saw that Barry Bonds was on the cover of SI, which really does not matter to me because I decided to ignore his accomplishments a long time ago. I'm sure everyone knows why.

Anyway, a few days before school ended, I got into an agrument with one of my friends about Barry Bonds. The person ( Read more... )

For today I had to apply to two places to work; Dick's at the Galleria Mall and Ron Emma's. Honestly, I do not want to work at Emma's unless it is absoulety necessary, because I'll probably be stuck washing dishes. I'm already the dish washer at home.

When I was done writing my IQP report, I felt that I improved greatly as I writer because I learned how to catch my errors, key grammar rules, and a professional style that is less intense.

Our football team has constantly disappointed us for the last decade and on February 27, 2006, I understood why.

Twenty-five foot jump shots, no box outs, no chasing after loose ball.  Shooting the ball instead of passing when double-teamed.  These are things would translate into a few guys having some fun.  Which is okay, except for one fact ( Read more... )

I was reading a review about “Glory Road” from my favorite columnist, Bill Simmons.  He said that Hollywood might not be able to make another great sports movie and to be truthful, I agree with him.  Movies these days are about mainly about glitz and glamour, which can not be applied to the sports world.  Sports are not about the big picture, it ( Read more... )

One of the goals as Sports' Editor of Tech News is that I want to put in as many articles in Tech News that you cannot read almost anywhere else as possible.  The one exception has been my first ten spot (the 10 biggest sports stories during winter break), which has received some criticism.  That has actually made me feel a bit happy because people ( Read more... )
