Call it The Great Weekend...

I had a nice weekend monetarily. I hit on a couple races at Turfway on Friday night. Saturday night, I took GSP--which was pretty easy. I've never seen BJ Penn take a beating like that. And then the Super Bowl I had the Cards +7.

Watching the SB last night at Willies with the lady... I couldn't help but notice how many idiots are out there. One typical exchange with the commonfolk:

blonde barbie doll: hey, how are you two doing?
me: We're good. Great game..
bbd: so who are you rooting for? You aren't wearing either of the teams colors.
me: well, I'm not rooting for Arizona to win or to lose by less than 6 points.
bbd: (in the fourth quarter after Fitzgerald scored) So, like you're pretty much screwed. Pittsburgh's got this
me: Am I missing something? Zona is up 3 points and I'm getting 7. There's 2 minutes left in the game.... what is 3+7?
bbd: its 10... but I think you know you aren't going to win. Pittsburgh has this
me: <looking at girlfriend> am i missing something here? Or is this amature hour?
<girlfriend laughs and I look back at bbd> look, I don't think I can put this into terms you can understand tonight. I don't know if its the alcohol or if are truly an idiot. But I've explained this three different times to you...

...bbd walks away

I'm sure she saw me "celebrating" later when Pittsburgh won and was VERY confused.

**I spelled Amateur wrong on purpose for effect (Defiance guys... I pointed this out so you know when the word is spelled wrong)

I wonder if this is the same blonde that you were talking with.

wow.... THAT is great. She could've been that same person... but bbd was also drunk... as it was getting to be the end of the night.

Snow isn't very fun after you have graduated college

SaintsFAN · February 05, 2009, 10:22:02 AM

ok, so Signing Day has come and gone .... now for the other schools to start annoucing commitments.

I'm really glad none of the area D3 schools were in the Cincinnati Enquirer touting a class that had "signed" yesterday. As a reminder... its just not possible. You can't consider a kid is coming to school at the Division III level until they make a deposit, holding their spot in school.

For sure we'll know more about classes when the financial aid situation is worked out.

Mount Saint Joe had 2 kids listed on the football recruits. I didn't see any TMC football players, but TMC did have some soccer people on the list.

If I had plans to attend a D3 school, I wouldn't make a decision until May. Chances are you're not going to be an immediate starter anyway, no matter where you go, so schools don't need to plan for you. As someone once said...the best part about a freshman is they will be a sophomore the next year. You should take the time to make an informed decision based on your needs. Start transferring and college gets to be a long, tedious process

there was a Bluffton College signee listed in the Dayton Daily News

Christman, Zach: Anna, OL, Bluffton (D-III)

listed there with the guys like CJ Barnett and Adam Homan going to tOSU.

In response to Andy Kennedy's pleas, an officer said: "You think we've never arrested somebody that's made national media? ... We deal with the Bengals all the time."

That's great!

Thats awesome, 70. About the only thing Bluffton shares with Ohio State is the fight song.

Sayer... I saw that... that officer must be a comedian.

Tip your bartenders this weekend, fellas.

I hate this time of year!

SaintsFAN · February 17, 2009, 02:49:42 PM

nice to see you, has_been. I hate it too...

I thought of you recently when I saw an article on a Los Angeles-area teacher accused of becoming a little too close to one of his students.

Hope things are well.

Lack of sleep or excessive "honey-do" list, Has_Been?

Congratulations on your recent addition! The bookstore had some cute, infant rompers when I was up there last week...

Kev- thanks for thinking of me you a*@

.
Bob- thanks for the congrats. The daughter (Lily) has been doing a great job keeping me & my wife busy. She's already three weeks old & has mangaged to grow out of several of her newborn items, so I'll have to get a few sizes of DC gear.

dc_has_been,

Cograts on the birth of your daughter. If you think she is keeping you busy now, just wait till she becomes a teenager.

SaintsFAN · February 19, 2009, 11:06:27 AM

Congrats on the newborn, has_been. I'm a "honorary Uncle" for my buddy's two little girls... meaning I will be one of the guys on the porch holding a shotgun when their dating years commence..
