Too many notes...

Note to Eva: Typically I am slightly cautious of going to MySpace pages that people send me. That’s due to the fact that the majority of my friend requests seem to come from scantily clad women who are really intent on my checking out their webcams. It’s rather amazing how many of those requests one can receive made even more amazing by the fact that the same profile picture is used on half of them. But I’ll have to say that Erin Ivey has a rather interesting sound (and I dig the fact that I get recommendations on unsigned Austin artists). Plus, anyone who says that they want to connect with fans of The Sundays, Josh Rouse and Kathleen Edwards deserves a listen just due to her taste in music alone.

Note to Readers of Last Night’s Post: I can’t seem to figure out if DRKJEDI would refer to Dark Jedi or Dork Jedi. I didn’t think about that until after I made the post. In retrospect, I think I’ll just go for the personalized UZDFRCE license plate. And yes, that will be all of the Star Wars talk for the week. Don’t worry, I’ll still publicize my Wookie Life Day celebration plans.

Note to No One in Particular: I just realized that I may have figured out a way to die that would be more embarrassing than being trampled to death at a Weird Al concert. I was nearly run over today by a security guard on a Segway. Yep, I really don’t want people to look back at my life and go “EC, man what a great guy. Too bad he got run over by a Segway.”

Anyway, in my continuing efforts to pat myself on the back in order to boost my self-esteem I’d like to point out that Cobra Kai, the fightingest fantasy football team in the land, just built a two game lead with two games to play in the regular season. (It was also the third week where I had the high score in the league.) Since I effectively own the tiebreaker I’m highly confident in a playoff berth for the team. Not bad for a team that lost three running backs to season ending injuries. My quarterback hydra of Favre, Hasselbeck and Anderson have proven unstoppable and my tenth round pick up of Wes Welker may be the best draft pick ever. Of course I now just jinxed myself so expect me to score negative points this week.

I’ll have to admit that that is a better finish than Notre Dame where even in my Playstation 2 version of the season I am looking at a berth in the Brut Sun Bowl. Yes, that’s how bad of a team it was, I am proud to have made it to the Brut Sun Bowl. I mean, it is by Faberge and all. Sometime next week once all the bowl games are announced I’ll do my breakdown. Until then, I might as well admit that I am rooting for Oklahoma on Saturday. This isn’t due to my hating everything that has to do with the part of the country. Ok, that’s part of it but I have a legitimate reason here.

See, if Oklahoma beats Missouri then Ohio State is assured of being in the national title game and not the Rose Bowl. Now, the Rose Bowl would really like to keep a Big Ten-Pac 10 matchup if at all possible. There is only one other Big 10 team that is eligible for a BCS bowl. That team is, of course, my Fighting Illini. Do they deserve to be in a BCS game? Of course not. But it has been over twenty years since we played in the Rose Bowl and we were screwed out of the game the last time we won the Big Ten. I want to see them play in Pasadena. Sorry Tigers fans but this is going to happen.
