The Weekly Lazy Entry

I am resurrecting it earlier than I wanted to...

I had an article due for the Register today so I didn't get to my regular entries, and before I knew it, all the other bloggers got to the stories that I wanted to cover. And all the posts that I thought would be unique are on the interweb.

Oh well, here is your lazy entry of the week:

• Don't trash talk at the Olympics if you can't back it up. Great job keeping a American stereotype alive. [Yahoo!Sports]
  
• College football fan completes a 32-year quest to see all 119 Division 1-A teams. I hate you, Steve. [SportsbyBrooks]
  
• Argentinean Women's soccer team joined Spanish athletes with the slant eye mockery of the Chinese athletes. China got the last laugh by beating them 2-0, racists. [Sky News]
  
• The International Table Tennis Federation wants the women competitors to show a little more skin to attract a bigger audience. Sure, we all want to see women that look like men in more revealing clothing ... yummy. [Yahoo!Sports]
  
• Mike Tyson has a brother in Tajikistan ... a boxer in the Olympics got disqualified for biting his opponent. Bonus points: Evander Holyfield was watching the fight. [SF Gate]
  
• The swimsuits of Spain's synchronized swimmers were banned from competition for embedding lights in them. They can still flash their nipples. [NBCOlympics.com]
  

Takashi And Scholnick Got To USC

Looks like USC Head Coach Pete Carroll has more problems besides having an injured starting quarterback in Mark Sanchez.

It appears as if the boys in burgundy pissed off Revenge of the Nerds stars Takashi and Scholnick, because the Trojans have jock itch.

They are victims of an ailment that has swept through the team during training camp, something that coaches refer to as "a skin irritation."
The players call it "jock itch."
As much as 25% of the team has been affected by the apparent run of tinea cruris, kicker David Buehler estimated. The condition seems to have spread by way of new compression shorts, or tights, worn under their football pants.

Sure, "jock itch," huh? Seems to me like Paris Hilton has been making her rounds at the USC facilities.

I wonder how Ogre has taken the outbreak. One tough dude.

"Looks like salad."

Suck On That Cheerleader Yell Leader

Joe Paterno won his record 23rd bowl game last night after his Penn State Nittany Lions overcame a two touchdown deficit and downed Texas A(and)M, 24-17, at the Valero Alamo Bowl.

It was Paterno's 500th career game, and his 372nd victory, one behind Bobby Bowden for most in major college football.

On Thursday, an Aggies spirit leader yell leader, yelled that Paterno was "on his death bed" and "someone needs to find him a casket."

Here is a video of the rally, and the cheerleaders:


I love how they have their little dances and do not leave the stage until they complete them all. "Yell Leaders," like that is going to save any of their reps of being part of the male species.

JoePa owns all, especially since he still has road rage in him.

Bull Chit System

Kansas over Missouri? USC playing a 3-loss Illinois team? That is one messed up computer; it must be a PC crunching the numbers.

How does Kansas get a BCS bowl berth over Missouri? Does the computer have a short term memory? Missouri lost against Oklahoma in their last game, but did eliminate Kansas from Big 12 title race. So how exactly does Kansas get the bid over the Tigers? The operating system for the computer must be using Vista. Who did Kansas beat to leapfrog Missouri?

Please, please get rid of this system.

And this next statement is coming from a UCLA fan: How the hell is USC playing Illinois?

USC is one of the hottest teams in the nation and will steamroll all over Illinois. The Rose Bowl is going to be the Rose Bore. At least my uncle will be happy with an easy victory. Isn't the point of the BCS games to have the most competitive games of the year? I really think that USC could beat any of the teams in the BCS games, including Ohio State and LSU.

Ohio State had a tough schedule. Youngstown State, Akron, Kent State, Northwestern, the list can go on. That is going to be a great game to watch. LSU is going to poo on the Luckeyes.

The other two games I like.

West Virginia v. Oklahoma is going to be a fun game to watch. The Sooners are just as hot as the Trojans and will win this one. And then you have Colt Brennan and Hawaii taking on Georgia in the next best game on tap.

Meanwhile I get to enjoy another UCLA Las Vegas Bowl this year. As I do every year, I will bet against the Bruins; they suck in bowl games.

Carl Says So... The BCS Sucks

I am a big fan of Aqua Teen Hunger Force, and especially of Carl on the show. And if he says the BCS sucks, then you better listen. Oh wait, according to him it stands for "Boston Can Suck It," only a genius like Carl would think of that. I am stealing that.

Also, he hates Eli Manning.

Destroying Season Tickets

Remember the video I posted and linked to regarding the Arkansas Razorbacks season ticket holder?

He has posted a new video of him taking care of his season tickets to Razorbacks football in a protest of their coach, Houston Nutt.



This one is the best of the four videos so far. To see the others on the original post, click here.

Holy Lateral!

The following is a video of a NCAA Division III football game that took place this weekend. Trinity University used 15 laterals to defeat Millsaps College with no time remaining. Kudos to the announcer for only stumbling on the word "lateral" once in the video. I stuttered it while typing.

Best finish ever.
