Thanks to the writers’ strike we have been playing catch-up with movies that we have wanted to see but never seemed to have time to sit and watch. Tonight was “The Last King of Scotland” and while a very good movie, it was not nearly as brutal as I expected. Whitaker was, as always, amazing and I still shake my head in disbelief when you think how a movie like “Fastimes at Ridgmont High” has 3 Oscar winners for Best Actor in it, I’m not sure many saw that coming.

Purdue lost again, we tied it late in the 4th only to lose it with 30 seconds left. Thanks to Comcast sucking we still cannot get the Big Ten Network so we missed the game. I really think if Comcast doesn’t pull its head out of its ass by next season we will get a dish and get the BTN and NFL Network. Anyway, Purdue sucks, and if we are lucky we will get the “Motor City Bowl” and I am embarrassed to even type that. Enough of this soft schedule first 5 games and then ball busting last half of schedule, we need to be tested and hit and hit back hard EARLY and not in game 6, I would rather start 2-3 then 5-0 if we can be ready and win more games late then lose when it matters the most.

This year there has been 10 (soon to be 11 thanks to Texas Tech beating #4 OK as I type this) unranked teams beating top 5 teams which is 4 more than any time in history, so this has been a fucking nutty year in football, no one was safe.

But of course Purdue is Purdue and that will never change.

Colts are on TV again tomorrow, so that is good, we have KC at Indy, so this better be a win, we are so hurt right now and we just lost Freeny for the year which is a huge loss and Harrison is still questionable but we have Clark back which will help.

And no, the Pats will NOT go undefeated. It just will NOT happen.

Weather has been crappy, but whatever. The only real problem is the gutter outside the bedroom makes a “bass” sound and if I think about it I can’t sleep which happen last night, so I had about 2 hours or less of sleep if what I got could be called sleep. Add that to the stomach flu and I am in such a pleasant mood.

Sad that NCAA football is almost over for the year, 1 more week and then just the bowl games…. And I am already looking at next year’s schedule where I see we have the mighty D2 Northern Colorado who is 1-10 this year….. But we also have Oregon at Purdue who will then come out here in 2009 so if anyone wants to see some football and do some tailgating let me know and we can make some plans, just be warned, I will be in Old Gold and Black.

Man, she was just so incredible in the ring, and she was still taking the hard bumps well into her 80’s.

Thanks for the great memories Moolah… You will be missed.

How Do I Feel?: contemplative

Weise could have won it with :20 left in the 4th, as they was well within FG range and he went for the first down instead of the win and out of nowhere Superman flies in and sacks the QB.

Seriously, watch the replay on ESPN tonight, it was Superman and he flew in to make the sack.

First time in 43 YEARS Navy has beat ND…. since 1963…. All I can say is….

HAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

(And yes I am still ticked Purdue was robbed, but this did make the day better)

How Do I Feel?: ecstatic

6-2 with today’s win, that means Bowl #10 over the last 11 years. Prior to 1997, Purdue has been to 5 bowls total in 109 years, since Tiller, we have had 7 straight bowls and now 3 straight.

So close to getting to the BCS, but still so far.

And I know, there was only a hand full of Bowls back in the day, and it would have been more Bowls had the Big Ten not have had the BS rule of no “back to back” Rose Bowls, but this is such a great thing when you remember 13 straight years of losing, and losing badly in many cases.

Tiller needs to improve on his 3-6 bowl record though, only 1 blowout, but two years in a row we was up 20+ and lost, and we got down 20+ and ALMOST came back… to UG who was down 21 and came back on us 2 years earlier…. fuckers.
