Memories of Rout 66: Texas vs. UCLA 1997
It was my first year as a season ticket holder. I remember the surge of pride when I received my season tickets and how I would take them out of the crisp envelope that housed them to lay them across my coffee table in sequential order, fanned out like a peacock's plumage. Their glossy...
Sobering up on Sunday: Shod with Shame
Warning: There is profanity in this post. Not-safe-for-children profanity. I was initially going to post this at 8:00 Sunday morning, but it's now Sunday, so I'm going to go ahead and just post this now. In his post, Kyle sounded a very encouraging tone. And I agree with him in one way: the...
Is Vickie Guerrero strapped for cash again?
That's the obvious question to ask, given James Caldwell's report that Vickie Guerrero is attempting to sell for $55,000 her custom designed Eddie Guerrero Memorial Low Rider on eBay. It doesn't seem like something she would want to part ways with for sentimental reasons, which suggests that she...
Almost there...
The playoffs are almost upon us and things haven't really been looking particularly swell for the Stars since Brad Richards' ridiculous 5 point debut.This is one of the strongest Stars teams in years, at least if their defense can get somewhat healthy, but if they draw the Ducks (they would if the...
Rut Roh (The Director's Cut)
The Stars just caught Lady Luck in bed with a mysterious gentleman wearing Teal. Yes, indeed, the Stars might have the series lead but the Sharks regained their self-belief after coming back from the dreaded "worst lead in hockey."There's basically two ways to look at Game 6 if you're a Stars fan....
You might not want to walk a mile in those shoes...
Aaron Rogers: tragically unlucky or a hero to lazy men across the nation?Every once and a while, I try to imagine what it would be like to be a professional athlete.It's pretty run of the mill to dream of having the goal scoring ability of Mario Lemieux or being infinitely clutch like Michael...
Zdeno Chara, sports' best-ever freak?
Really, who doesn't want to hear about Zdeno Chara (except Mike Milbury, heh)? And since there's been a few Battle of California + plus Boston! jokes floating around, I figured this would be the best time to relate a Chara story that might put him in the Gary Roberts - Bill Bradzke*-Chuck Norris...
What's eating the Dallas Stars?
The Dallas Stars are stumbling worse than a fat chick after 15 tequila shots. Seriously, tonight's loss to the Chicago Blackhawks (6-3) was ugly. The lowlight was Kris Versteeg's goal on Turco, in which the Stars made the talented rookie look like the second coming of ... well, Jonathan Toews.(My...
Cue "Taps"
WOW. Someone just played Panic's entrance music. If things looked bad for the Stars just a few days ago, now the team is pondering meteor shower insurance. Rudy posted the news but if you have anti-scroll disease, Brenden Morrow is out for the season.The Stars are effectively "fixed." As in they've...
