Strahan's rant

man Michael Strahan needs to keep his mouth shut considering he said these comments on his own radio show

Good for Joey and my poor car

This Lions team is clearly not the ones of old that were led by Wayne Fontes. I remember them always having a losing record heading into November but getting hot and finding some way to make the playoffs. Now a days there seems to be no hope especially after yet another loss on Thanksgiving to the Dolphins.

I was glad to see Joey Harrington do so well against his former team. I actually liked Harrington and purchased his jersey during his rookie year. I thought he was wronged in Detroit and the evidence has shown up in the standing.Harrington is on a four-game win streak with the Dolphins while the Lions only have two wins.

Other than my rant about the Lions a few other things over the past few days
- I was home for Thanksgiving which wasnt bad. Arrived home on Wednesday and got to eat some chinese and chill at home with my grandpa, sister and mom. Seemed my grandpa spent most the time taking cat naps during his visit over the few days
- My car got hit on Wednesday as i was leaving the gas station. I pulled up waiting my turn to pull out of Speedway when a guy driving a van with Ohio plates backed into my car and put a dent into my fender. Argh!

Crossing enemy lines

Besides The Ohio State University, there is no school I like to hate more than Notre Dame - although I was hoping Notre Dame would come back to beat Michigan State earlier this season which they did.

But thats beside the point, because this weekend I will be rooting for the Fighting Irish when they take on USC. Why? A win makes a rematch with Ohio State more likely for the maize and blue. And I would love to see Michigan get another chance to knock off the Buckeyes and shut their fans up. More so, I would just like to see who would win that game on a neutral setting since this weekend's game was so entertaining and lived up to the hype.

Other than disappointed about another Michigan loss to Ohio State, I've been doing pretty good lately.
Last week I was out in Jonesville twice covering the opening round and semifinals of a Class C girls basketball district. Also did a reaction piece for the paper on
Bo Schembechler's death since a few local residents actually played for him.

Today as I was going into work to do pages I was playing with my phone and hit the web button on it and a screen popped up where I could get ringtones and stuff for my phone. It was weird that happened since my mom and i were just talking about internet for our cells. Anyways I decided to purchase a ring tone since I lost all my ring tones when I got a new phone last month.

Also I've had two fantasy basketball drafts recently. When the season began I had no intent of playing fantasy hoops but now I'm fully involved in it. Now I have a lot of lineups to change, especially on the weekends now since I have four fantasy football teams.

Fantasy football seems to be going all right as of now. In two of my leagues I entered this past weekends games in first place. In one of my ESPN leagues I had a 9-1 record and in one of my yahoo leagues I am first with a 6-3 record. In the league I'm in with people from work I'm 4th out of eight teams with a record of 5-4-1

a trip north

After lunch with Sean I decided to make a trip to the Ann Arbor area to pick up my mom's birthday present. Her birthday is today so I'm a little late - oops.
But before heading back to Adrian to do a few things for work, I decided to check out the new student center at Eastern, which had its grand opening today.

After checking it out, it made me wish I was still in college. Casey met me at the student center and gave me a tour of the facility which is a heck of a lot nicer than McKenny Union ever was. the new student center has a gaming room with several xboxes, dance dance revolution and several other video games available for students to use. when i walked in there several peeps were playing halo. i can already see people skipping class to play video games

besides that, theres a 24 hour computer lab (a first for EMU), new restaurants like KFC, subway and starbucks, a way better bookstore and a lot of nice meeting rooms. The student center is way closer to the residence halls and has windows overlooking the park. neeedless to say i was pretty impressed. i could probably rant more about the student center but ill choose not to. but one of the opening events for the center is a night with Joe Dumars next Monday that is free to the public. So that will definitely be pretty cool

while at EMU i picked up the echo and saw a story in the paper pretty much saying the football coaches honeymoon should be over and that he shouldnt have his contract rolled over. thought it was an interesting story that brought up several good points.

anyways im off to watch the pistons

bowling

Last night was a busy night of bowling. Sarah and I met Nat, Lance and Tina to take advantage of the $1 games night at Ten Pin and ended up bowling five games. Kinda in competition style Lance and Nat bowled against me and Sarah and Tina just watched. while me and sarah lost each of the games - it was still pretty fun. nat beat lance in at least one of the games and sarah bowled the game of her life and beat me once and beat me another time when i had an off performance.

other than that yesterday I took care of a lot of phone calls as i talked to my aunt, mom and grandma and watched the lions keep mike vick in check and beat the falcons
