I'm serious this time!

Not to make excuses, but I'm about to make an excuse.

I'm working about 60 hours a week right now and I'm over a thousand miles from Fresno. Between the breakfast beers, the women and the work, it's a little difficult to update this. Plus, the news I have checked has been pretty boring.

August! I promise I'll get back to 6 a week in August.

Hey, look at the bright side, I'm still way more up-t0-date than these losers.

Excitement in the air...

Now that I've broken the seal, might as well keep laying it on VSP. Takada has a new column up (which I haven't read yet) that I will now make fun of.

Let's see........ oh here's one!

My countdown to football season has begun. And there are plenty of questions that I can’t wait to see answered, unless any of you can answer them for me.

So if I can answer the questions then you CAN wait to see them answered. I love statements like this.

4-Will Fresno City College get over the hump and win a bowl game for the first time since 2003?

They have bowls at the FBS (Fooball Bowl Subdivision) level and playoffs at the FCS (Football Championship Subdivision), D-II, and D-III levels. I guess they make it symmetrical by returning to bowls at the WGAF (Who gives a fuck) level.

11-Is Pat Hill going to use Ebahn Feathers in the pistol formation?

Is George Takada an idiot?

13-Will Fresno State win the WAC for the first time since 1997?

Here is where Takada makes the real web gem. We last won the WAC in 1999, and Colorado State won it in 1997. It took me less than 30 seconds to look that up... sigh

16-Is Tom Brandstater an NFL caliber quarterback?

I know you want to wait if I know the answer, but 'No.

Okay, enough of this. I'm bordering on violating an important rule.

Fiesta Night!!

I've read Pat Hill's rant to the LA Times about Univision Stadium and the Hispanic version of Notre Dame, but this actually looks serious:

So in partnership with Hispanic businesses and media organizations, the Bulldogs will hold the inaugural Bulldog Football Fiesta Night for the Sept. 5 home opener against UC Davis.

Great idea, I'll admit it. Especially against a snoozer 1-AA team.

"Today for the first time I can truly say I think we have a chance to truly paint the Valley red," Hill said excitedly.

Glad he was excited.


I got it! So Notre Dame has that sign thing. We should get our own sign, but instead of it saying "Play like a Champion Today" it can say, "Today for the first time I can truly say I think we have a chance to truly paint the valley red."

In a related story, Mexico is donating 11,000 books to Fresno County. So... um... does this count as illegal immigration?

Another "interesting" Fresno Bee quote:

"I study with them in Spanish because I don't know English," Baleriano said.

Bu, But, bu, bu how did... could she!? Did it, was it.... ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????/

Okay, just playin.

Some of Ewing's students in the immersion program performed songs at the ceremony as they clutched small U.S. and Mexican flags.

... and the rest of the students wondered what they could do to feel special about the race they did not choose to be... and again.

Thwarted again!

My grand escape plan failed, so I'm stuck here again for another year. I apologize for the lack of updates, I'll be much more busy this summer than I was in the spring.

FSU sent me the world's most hilarious crime alert a few days ago:
