« Previous Entries2007 Bowl Predictions (Day 10)
Monday, December 31st, 2007 at 10:28 amDay 10 of the 2007 Bowl season brings us the most active day yet. Football aplenty for your viewing pleasure.
First up today is the Bell Helicopter Armed Forces Bowl featuring California (6-6, 3-6 Pac-10) vs. Air Force (9-3, 6-2 MWC). I normally would not pick against the Pac-10 against a Mountain West Conference team, but […]
Atlanta’s season of misery almost over.
Sunday, December 30th, 2007 at 2:09 pmIs it so wrong to hope that the Falcons go out with a whimper today against Seattle? The reality is that the Falcons are in position to get the fourth overall pick in next year’s draft. Right now they sit behind Miami, St. Louis, and the Jets, but win today and they may move in […]
2007 Bowl Predictions (Day 9)
Sunday, December 30th, 2007 at 11:57 amI should not even bother picking the Petrosun Independence Bowl winner. Both teams are perfectly mediocre. Alabama (6-6, 4-4 SEC) vs. Colorado (6-6, 4-4 Big 12). What we are saying here is which conference has the best .500 team? I am going to play the part of the homer and go with the SEC, but […]
2007 Bowl Predictions (Day 8)
Saturday, December 29th, 2007 at 7:04 amDay 8 of the 2007 Bowl schedule gives us three interesting match-ups. Nothing special, but interesting enough to have some watchability (there is that word again); at least for two of the three games.
The Meineke Car Care Bowl features #25 Connecticut (9-3, 5-2 Big East) vs. Wake Forest (8-4, 5-3 ACC). If the ACC is […]
Crosman Sierra Pro goes under the knife.
Saturday, December 29th, 2007 at 6:42 amI contacted the fine folks at Crosman about the strange happenings with my Sierra Pro.
Quick Recap: After a day of shooting (60-80) rounds, I put the gun away for a couple of hours, and when I went to use the gun again, it would not cock. After repeated failure getting the gun to […]
UGA’s Sudden Transformation
Saturday, December 29th, 2007 at 6:31 amThe short answer is Knowshon Moreno. The longer answer is a nice article on espn.com.
The Bulldogs (10-2) averaged 37.2 points over their last five games, scoring more than 30 four times and more than 40 three times. They stroll into what should be a wide-open Allstate Sugar Bowl affair with Hawaii, having won six […]
2007 Bowl Predictions (Day 7)
Friday, December 28th, 2007 at 2:41 pmFriday night gives us three games, none of which are very compelling. Seems like that is the theme so for this Bowl season.
The Champs Sports Bowl gives us #14 Boston College (10-3, 6-2 ACC) vs. Michigan St (7-5, 3-5 Big Ten). Questions. First, how does a team actually have a losing record […]
2007 Bowl Predictions (Day 6)
Thursday, December 27th, 2007 at 6:28 pmFinally, a decent game. Tonight we get #11 Arizona State vs. # 19 Texas in the Pacific Life Holiday Bowl, which should be an entertaining match up. This is Texas’ fourth trip to the Holiday Bowl in the last eight years, and history has not been very kind.
In the three most recent games, Texas suffered […]
Christmas (the day after stuffs edition)
Wednesday, December 26th, 2007 at 9:50 pmMore random goodness to get you through the week; you know you need this stuff.
The kids got a Wii, complete with Madden 08, Wii Play (for the extra remote and nunchuk), LEGO Star Wars Complete Saga, and Super Mario Galaxy. I have only had about 10-15 minutes with Wii Sports, but hopefully the kids […]
2007 Bowl Predictions (Day 5)
Wednesday, December 26th, 2007 at 2:20 pmCan it get any better than this? Boilermakers and Chippewas? The Motor City Bowl gives us 7-5 Purdue of the Big Ten vs. 8-5 Central Michigan of the MAC. Purdue is the choice, but I am not going to bother to justify my prediction for a game that no one will watch.
2007 Bowl predictions: 4 […]
Christmas Eve
Monday, December 24th, 2007 at 2:49 pmWishing you and yours a very merry Christmas! A few random thoughts before we move on to Christmas time.
Sierra Pro Lives Again. No idea how or why, but the gun cocked fine yesterday morning, which made for a fun filled day of shooting paper and plinking. Alas, no squirrels, but still plenty of fun.
The Sierra […]
2007 Bowl Predictions (Day 4)
Sunday, December 23rd, 2007 at 2:21 pmDay 4 of this year’s Bowl season brings us another not so classic match up. This time we get #24 Boise State vs. East Carolina in the Sheraton Hawaii Bowl. I am not sure who makes this stuff up. Does anyone really care how the second (or is it third or fourth) best team in […]
Might as well WoW.
Saturday, December 22nd, 2007 at 10:37 pmWhat do you do when your air gun is broken, you do not get NFL network, and the Bowl games are crap? You play some World of Warcraft! My gnome mage just hit level 39.
To be honest, I would rather punch paper or watch the Cowboys, but a little time with WoW along with a […]
Crosman Sierra Pro dies.
Saturday, December 22nd, 2007 at 8:39 pmI planned to write about some shooting that I did earlier today, complete with best pellets per group, highest and lowest scoring group, and standard deviation per group. Instead I am writing a somewhat disappointing entry. My Crosman Sierra Pro bit the dust today.
After getting really comfortable with the sights on the gun, […]
2007 Bowl Predictions (Day 3)
Saturday, December 22nd, 2007 at 10:36 amDay 3 of the 2007 Bowl season presents us with three terrible games, none worth watching. All three are reasons to reduce the number of Bowl games.
The papajons.com Bowl features 7-5 Southern Miss vs. #22 9-3 Cincinnati. I do not respect the Big East team, but a semi-top tier Big East team has to be […]
