Are you ready for some ODU football?
Old Dominion University will host Chowan University in its opening game on September 5, 2009. According to The Virginian Pilot, this will be the first ODU football game in nearly 70 years. The team will sign its first recruiting class on February 6 and already has nine committments, the latest being Maryland offensive lineman AJ … Continue reading Are you ready for some ODU football?
So who’s going to win the Super Bowl?
Well, I'll make that pick next week 🙂 In the meantime, let's take a look at this weekend's matchups. On the AFC side, we have the New England Patriots playing at home against the San Diego Chargers. I really had hopes that the Colts were going to be playing in this game, since I think … Continue reading So who’s going to win the Super Bowl?
Watching from the couch
That's where the Cowboys will be next week after losing to the Giants 21-17. 😆 My favorite team? The Washington Redskins and whoever is playing against the Cowboys 😉
Say it ain’t so, Joe
Joe Gibbs will resign as head coach of the Washington Redskins today. Despite all of the ups and downs of his latest tenure with the team, I have always thought Gibbs brought an intangible to the team that other coaches did not. And given Dan Snyder's picks for coaches (and players) over the years of … Continue reading Say it ain’t so, Joe
Things to do Saturday: football and politics
The Washington Redskins (9-7) take on the Seattle Seahawks (10-6) at 4:30pm EST on NBC. The Redskins are riding a 4-game winning streak while the Seahawks suffered an embarrassing 44-41 loss to the 4-12 Atlanta Falcons. Needless to say, I'm picking the 'Skins 😉 And then it's evening entertainment as both the Republicans and the … Continue reading Things to do Saturday: football and politics
Pilot confirms Redskins talk
Well, it only took them two weeks 😉 but the Virginian Pilot has finally gotten someone to go on record about the possible relocation of the Redskins training camp to Virginia Beach.
A ham to Kansas
Kansas beat Virginia Tech last night in the Orange Bowl 24-21, so Governor Tim Kaine will have to make good on his friendly wager with Kansas Governor Kathleen Sebelius by sending her a Virginia ham. Turnovers killed the fifth-ranked Hokies - and the two-quarterback system didn't help. The eighth-ranked Jayhawks took advantage, despite heroic efforts … Continue reading A ham to Kansas
Playoffs, baby!
The Washington Redskins defeated long-term rival Dallas yesterday. The 27-6 win propels the team into the playoffs. I didn't get to see the game, although I did hear a bit of it on the radio as I traveled from one place to the other. Sitting in traffic on 495 prior to the game, though, I … Continue reading Playoffs, baby!
Go, Giants!
It's halftime and the NY Giants are leading the undefeated New England Patriots 21-16. I'm no Giants fan, really, but I don't want the Patriots to go undefeated. I just don't think they are that good of a team. Their schedule has been weak: remember that their 15 wins include 2 over the hapless 1-14 … Continue reading Go, Giants!
