Smarch madness
Tuesday, March 31, 2009
Once again, I've reached the end of a month without writing a single entry in this blog. Perhaps it's for the best, because March wasn't exactly a month I want to commemorate. It had its moments, but the bad ones definitely outnumbered the good.
I think I'll go watch the penultimate episode of the U.S. version of "Life On Mars" so I'm ready for the series finale tomorrow. It figures, I finally find a show I really like and it gets canceled in its first season. Pretty soon the only times I'll even bother to turn on the TV will be for NFL games and maybe an occasional "Ace Of Cakes" episode. Seriously, any bakery that can produce this has won me as a fan for life. Once a band geek...

A time to blog, a time to lose a 23-point lead
Saturday, January 3, 2009
So I'm flipping through the channels, looking for something to get the bad taste of UConn's International Bowl win out of my mouth. I stumble upon the Rutgers/Tennessee women's basketball game - on CBS, no less! The original, Channel 2 CBS! - and lo and behold, the Scarlet Knights have a big lead deep into the second half. Against Tennessee, a team I cannot recall us ever defeating in the Stringer era.
So I put the remote down and proceeded to witness what was probably the worst collapse in college basketball history. Or at least, one of the worst. Rutgers, which had led by as much as 23 at one point, went on to lose, 55-51.
Screw this. I'm going to go back to reading my novel.
Welcome to the blog, by the way. So far I haven't decided exactly what the focus of this blog will be, but if this first post is any indication, there will be lots of griping about sports and sentences beginning with "so" and "or." My high school English teachers would be so proud.
