The Explorers Club
No. CXIV - Marcus Porcius Cato Uticensis (95-46 B.C.), immortalized as Cato the Younger, incorruptible Stoic and defender of Roman republican virtue against Caesar's imperial ambitions.








Technical difficulties over the weekend, please excuse our dust.

The Victors: Project OSPREY
Iowa 70-60 Michigan (O.T.*)
17-11, 7-8 Big Ten

The foul called on Sims near the end of regulation was totally bogus. We screwed up the last play of the second half, a perfect chance to win, and we completely blew it in overtime, but neither of those occurrences changes that fact that the foul on Sims was totally bogus. The lousy zebras didn't cost us the game, but they still loused up the whole affair.

Go Blue!

The Rebel Black Dot Songs of the Day
Barenaked Ladies, "It's Only Me (The Wizard of Magicland)" from Disc One: All Their Greatest Hits 1991-2001 (T.L.A.M.)

Commentary:

"Speaking as a guy
Who's really got it going on,
It's only natural,
It's only me!



I can't think of anybody else
I'd rather spend some one-on-one time with,
It's not that hard to see,
It's only me!"


Sonntag, 22 Februar
Blink-182, "Voyeur" from Dude Ranch (T.L.A.M.)

Commentary:

"I can't be too cool
In a tree with my pants down,
The air is cold
And I've got splinters in my feet."


Samstag, 21 Februar
Guster, "Barrel of a Gun" from Lost and Gone Forever (T.L.A.M.)

Commentary:

"I know a movie star,
I've got her plastered to my wall,
Just like we're dear old friends,
Like she already knows me."
