The Girls of September '79
Happy birthday to The Watergirl!

Go Blue!
At halftime, San Diego State is leading Michigan 21-17. It ain't over 'til the fat lady sings, and I still have faith that we'll pull this one out, but Bog help me, I'm not sure how we're going to do it. As I've said before, Henne will be a great QB by the time he's an upperclassman, but right now he's a true freshman. And I want all of the offensive linemen cut; they are playing as if not a single one of them has ever started a college football game before, when in reality three of them are returning starters from last year. What's going on?! Just play well, you idiots! That's what you get free tuition to do! And once again the defense is a wall, an impenetrable wall! The Aztecs' offense can't do anything! Oh, wait, yes they can, they can do anything, seemingly at will! Rats.

We're going to win this game, but just barely. And as I said, I don't have the first clue how we're going to do it. This first half against San Diego State has made me much more pessimistic than the second half against Notre Dame. It's going to be a long, disheartening year, despite Saturday Night's Pollyannaish assurances.

Crap - One Night Only Return Engagement
The Darkness
The Darkness sucks so bad there aren't even words to describe how bad it is. If you like The Darkness, you suck that bad, too. You suck. You suck and I hate you. You need a brick to the face. You need a rabid squirrel to bit you in the eye, and they you'll run around screaming and screaming and screaming, but even as you struggle to keep your bloody eye from falling out of your head and the pain is so great it threatens to overwhelm you, you realize that being bitten in the eye by a squirrel isn't as painful as listening to The Darkness. And then you realize what a fool you've been. You realize that The Darkness sucks and that you suck for ever thinking that they don't suck.

H-A-N
Have a somnambulant night.
