Summer vacation’s OVER

The Annual Football Pool will gear back up next week. The first week of games will be available Monday morning – Labor Day. Please check back then.

Happy Birthday, Brandon

I’m sure he never visits this site, but it’s the best present I could imagine for him:

Conference Realignment, In One Single Image

aTm president, R. Bowen Loftin:

“I am a very important person/team/university.  I will now say things that require many cameras and microphones around me.”

If the last week has taught us anything: there are WAY too many grown men getting their egos stroked (and wallets lined) by their involvement with college athletes.

I mean, have you spent any time around a college student recently?  They’re kind of dorky.  Why would I want to go anywhere with them…let alone let them on my yacht?

As a man completely obsessed with sports, I’d just like to remind us all of a simple truth:  sports are dumb.  They aren’t important.  Jeez, put your camera down and empty out that freakin’ room.  That’s the saddest picture I’ve seen in a while.

This season’s “The Gridiron,” Week 1

I’m going to pretend every week when I watch these that KU’s preparing for aTm.

Days of Heaven

I watched this last night.  I’m trying to figure Terrance Malick out.  This didn’t help.

I haven’t seen “Tree of Life” yet – I”ll catch it on DVD.  But I thought this – Malick’s second of only five movies he’s directed over 38 years – might help provide some context as to why his work incites such a variety of opinions.  It probably would have, if I wasn’t such a doofus.  It didn’t help at all.

While my name is John…

… and I’m a Bronco fan – it wasn’t me.  I promise.
