Friday, September 29th, 2006 at 2:53 pmThere was quite a reaction to my Out of the Park Baseball 2006 “final” review over in their forums. There’s some pretty level headed debate going on about the pros and cons of the game. I will state for the record that if you were a beta tester for OOTPB 2006 and thought […]
SEC Preview (Week 5)
Thursday, September 28th, 2006 at 3:45 pmThis is the early edition of the SEC Preview (Week 5) thanks to tonight’s South Carolina - Auburn game, which by the way, the Tigers will easily take by 24+ points. Last week I was terrible, with a 7-3 mark; misses on Alabama (get a kicker already), Mississippi (man do they suck), and Mississippi […]
World of Warcraft (Begins Part 4)
Tuesday, September 26th, 2006 at 10:03 pmI think this the last post in my four part series detailing my experiences with WoW. The articles were intended to give you my perspectives on the game, document my early struggles and successes, and focus on the fact that I am a MMORP and PC gaming novice.
Last night made for some interesting gaming. When […]
Final Review
Tuesday, September 26th, 2006 at 3:32 pmSince Sports Interactive let us know a few weeks ago that there won’t be another patch for Out of the Park Baseball 2006, I thought I would provide my final review of their fine product. This review is from an online baseball perspective. It may be the best thing since sliced bread for […]
World of Warcraft (Begins Part 3)
Monday, September 25th, 2006 at 1:29 pmAfter a few more hours with the game, Tuldar is now a level 6 Dwarf Hunter. Things became much easier when I figured out how to use my gun and use spells. I kept pressing the thing (it looked like a gun), but could never make it work. I knew I had ammo, but once […]
World of Warcraft (Begins Part 2)
Saturday, September 23rd, 2006 at 11:08 pmIt has taken a few hours, but I finally have a few minutes of WoW under my belt. I have a couple of things to note about the initial setup before I get started. First, the copy of WoW was version 1.11.0.5428; this thing too a while to install (5 CDs). My […]
UGA QB Controversy?
Saturday, September 23rd, 2006 at 8:33 pmGeorgia’s highly touted freshmen QB, Matthew Stafford, played like a true freshmen today. I guess it was bound to happy, but I did not expect the Dawgs to play so poor. While Stafford was not totally at fault for the lackluster performance in the first three quarters, it was clearly apparent that the […]
World of Warcraft (Begins Part 1)
Saturday, September 23rd, 2006 at 6:44 pmThe adventure begins. Or something like that I suppose. After looking around at EBGames and realizing why I do not like that join (and why I typically shop online), I walked a few store down to Circuit City. Imagine my surprise when I found a big fat display of WoW titled (”now […]
Georgia Escapes!
Saturday, September 23rd, 2006 at 3:43 pmWhat a game! Thanks to an awesome relief performance by Cox, Georgia overcame a 13 point deficit to take down Colorado 13-14. Wow … huge sigh of relief.

SEC Preview (Week 4)
Saturday, September 23rd, 2006 at 12:44 pmThis is not an interesting weekend in the SEC, and I am pressed for time [forgot to post this before the kids’ soccer games], so let’s get this thing started.
Marshall - Tennessee
Somewhat of a breather this week for Tennessee. I suppose they could have something of a major lack of focus after the Gator debacle.
Mississippi […]
The Mighty Jags
Monday, September 18th, 2006 at 11:52 pmI purchased season tickets to the Jaguars games when Jack Del Rio and James “Shack” Harris were hired. My friends thought I was crazy because the Jags weren’t very good. But I knew Del Rio would bring a toughness that I like in a football team and Shack built the Baltimore Ravens defense. […]
World of WarCraft War Chest
Sunday, September 17th, 2006 at 5:53 pmI decided that I am going to throw some stuff on eBay and come up with a PC gaming fund. Will keep everyone updated, but I am certainly going to need a “quick start” guide, or some getting started tips from those of you in the know. I do not plan to spend hour after […]
Bush vs. Williams Round 2
Sunday, September 17th, 2006 at 5:44 pmOK, I know there is probably not much point in doing this sort of comparison, besides aggravating Chris, which I probably should not do since I need his help with the IOSBL OOTPB 2006 transaction. But what the heck, there is time to write, so I will give this a go.
I did not get […]
SEC Wrap-Up (Week 3)
Sunday, September 17th, 2006 at 8:07 amI did not get to watch nearly as much football as I wanted to yesterday, but what I did see was wonderful. I did completely miss predicting the Mississippi State game vs. Tulane; yes I now they are in the SEC, but after an embarrassing 32-29 defeat to the Green Wave, the Bulldogs earn […]
SEC Preview (Week 3)
Saturday, September 16th, 2006 at 11:05 amThis is the day that the Lord has made, and what a glorious day for some SEC football action! LSU/Auburn and Florida/Tennessee are in the mix followed by a bunch of crap games, starting with, in order of suckyness:
Wofford - South Carolina
The ‘Ol Ball Coach is going to be majorly pissed, and the fighting chicken […]
