Despair

I hate losing to Iowa State. I HATE IT. Iowa looked terrible last Saturday. Here is my reenactment of the last 3 minutes 38 seconds of the game:

Field goal to give Iowa the lead by 1.

Long, ridiculous pass to put ISU in field goal range.

ISU makes a field goal to take a 2-pt lead.

We almost return the ensuing kickoff for a TD.
But ISU stops us and we lose to those *#&%ers.

Also, the Cardinals, who once were making the NL Central a three-team race, have dropped, at last count, the last 47 games in a row and are almost mathematically eliminated. That sucks. Notre Dame hasn’t scored an offensive TD yet and our own ND blog at Sports Nation has posted this. Plus, the QB who started the year for us just transferred to Northern Illinois. So…..that’s awesome.

I’ve actually started to get pumped up about the ensuing TV season that is starting this week and next. That is…..so sad. Here is a list of the things I’m looking forward to as the baseball season winds down and Iowa starts Big Ten play. I really hope that embarrassing loss to Iowa State lights a fire under their collective asses and we can go steal one from Wisconsin. But I’m not going to hold my breath.

The new season of Survivor is set in China, so here’s hoping nobody gets run over by a tank. The cast is made up of the requisite 14 shiny-toothed, tan, buff people and then a 40 year-old Lunch Lady named Denise and a 47 year-old Chicken Farmer that goes by (wait for it…..) Chicken. So, that’s pretty sweet. Keep checking around for Survivor recaps. The Amazing Race doesn’t start for awhile, so in the interim I might work on some other fun little things.
