The Morning After: New Year’s Eve Edition
My esteemed colleague Mr. Mizerle06 and I don’t see eye to eye. New Year’s Eve rocks! No, not for the party hard, 
waking up in someone’s yard with your boxers on your head type reasons. It’s just another day? Not even close! It’s day you can shoot off a boat load of fireworks and the cops just have to ignore it because they can’t ticket everyone. It’s a day where you can sing “Auld Lang Syne” and not get your ass kicked for being too fruity. It’s a day where watching Ryan Seacrest host a ball drop doesn’t make you feel kinda wierd.
It’s also the day where you start the ham hocks boilin’ so your greens and hoppin’ john are perfectly soaked and stewed for New Years day, plus you gotta smoke the ribs for a few hours, so you don’t have to wake up as early on New Year’s Day…MMMmmm…
And to cap it all off, you can make a crap resolution that you’ll never follow through with.
My New Year’s resolution? I’m gonna stop being so darn cool…take that conformity.
New Years at the Shanahan house won’t be quite as fun…After the Broncos let the long time coach go. Look for the “Lions sign Shanahan” with some witty tagline on here any day now.
The Jets and Bill Cowher are apparently talking…I don’t see this leading to much, in fact, I think Cowher flakes and gives it another year to see if a job that has viable young talent is still around. (which is why Cleveland would have been a great spot)
Safe for another season is Bills’ coach Dick Jauron.
While the Browns are talking to Mangini…the jury is still out on this guy. His team did cave, but the mistakes of a certain quarterback were certainly a big reason.
And if you were concerned, that quarterback will be ok.
Carlos Boozer is having surgery…and Dikembe Mutombo is back for the remainder of the season in Houston…and hey, why not include your NBA scores which includes the Heat beating the Cavs on Lebron’s birthday.
Hockey (there I said it)
The Gators win over Stetson headlined a big night of college roundball…Purdue was knocked off by the Illini at home…and the SEC reigned supreme against the Big 12, as Arkansas beat Oklahoma.
Yum Brands (owner of Taco Bell, KFC, and Pizza Hut) tells you how to make their food healthier because they won’t do it for you.
Thanks to a big Rice win over Western Michigan it’s now Rocky Top 2 – Shorty Short Jorts 1…We’ve got a ballgame…Maryland won a game in beautifully warm and sunny Boise, Idaho…The game of the night belonged to the Holiday Bowl.
The remaining Miz v. Trey Matchups color coded (thanks JP!)
Chick-fil-A – LSU vs. Georgia Tech – ESPN – 12/31 – 7:30PM
Konica Minolta Gator Bowl- Clemson (7-5) vs. Nebraska (8-4) – CBS – 1/1 – 1pM
Capitol One Bowl – Michigan State (9-3) vs. Georgia (9-3) – ABC – 1/1 – 1PM
AT&T Cotton Bowl – Texas Tech (11-1) vs. Mississippi (8-4) – Fox – 1/2 – 2PM
AutoZone Liberty Bowl – East Carolina (9-4) vs. Kentucky (6-6) – ESPN – 1/2 – 5PM
International Bowl – Connecticut (7-5) vs. Buffalo (8-5) – ESPN2 – 1/3 – 12PM
GMAC Bowl – Tulsa (10-3) vs. Ball State (12-1) – ESPN – 1/6 – 8PM
Orange Bowl – Virginia Tech (9-4) vs. Cincinnati (11-2) – Fox – 1/1 – 8PM
Remember most of all if you’re gonna be drinkin’…be safe tonight, the $50 for a cab is much cheaper than the $4-5k for the DUI. A little lawyerly advice from GatorTrey. Happy New Year Ya’ll!

sparty – I agree with the self-praise part, it’s essential. but, you gotta add something like “and you aren’t” to the “I’m awesome.” I thought you knew what you were doing in smack talk…apparently, you’re a little behind as well.

“and you aren’t” is implied. the “I’m Awesome” is making that quite clear. If someone says “I’m Awesome, too” they look dumb as shit.

there’s no assumed implication in talking smack. part of smack talk is letting the recipient know that you think they’re a moron. if you plan on them having to read into it, you’re giving them credit for having at least half a brain and that’s just unacceptable.
you’re wrong, sparty, and I’m right.

or you could smack talk like gitc with; well, I have the same record as John, but I have more possible pts available to me because i did not put so many pts on those games that I lost because i knew there was a chance that the other team could win the game. it only took me about an 1hour to go through each game to attribute the pts to the right spot. So I am going to beat Sparty.

trey-cowher has years of success as a head coach in the NFL, 2 Super Bowl appearances, won one. Spags has zero head coaching experience, teams will be wary to pay him a lot for his first gig. the Champs have made him a very highly priced coordinator.

gaytortrey is off to a good start on his new year’s resolution to be less cool by admitting to watching Seacrest and singing Auld Lang Syne. That singing practice will come in handy for his Rocky Top Rendition.

You know I was on the losing side of that type of game Sparty.
We had a double header, in between games we all went to the Ale House and well stud 3B GatorTrey had his share. Bottom of the 7th, up 7, bases juiced, I’m playing 3rd pop fly for the 2nd out…I lose it in the lights. 2 runs score, and it was over, we never recovered

I once played in a company softball game where a homerun was an out. Biggest peice of crap rule I have ever seen. The ones who set the rule were probably old, wrinkled, and didn’t have a prayer of ever hitting one.
In protest, i got out twice. They were majestic outs.
