Odds and Ends-New Jack Swing

Good evening folks. I hope everyone is doing well on this Wednesday evening. It's been a long two days and I've got a lot to talk about so let's get to it.

I just want to thank everyone who sent me an e-mail asking about the new job and how it is going, which is where I will start. Well the first week was a definitely an adjustment. The store I am working at is much different than the other store, this store which will call TC is more by the book whereas the other store is a little more loose. My comfortability factor was pretty low the first two days. I almost started looking for another job because of how uncomfortable I felt. I don't know what my problem was I just felt out of place. Plus the GSM there is a little weird, it's like a friend of mine said when I told him I was taking the job over at TC and my friend knew the GSM, his comment was "whenever he looks at me I feel like he's trying to find a way to kill me." That may be a little extreme but there is something odd about the GSM. Anyway the first two days were bad but on Wednesday it changed and started to get a lot better. I started to get my bearings and became a lot more comfortable. Once I started selling and running the GW shop as well as being treated like a manager definitely helped my comfort level. The only issue I have and I knew this was going to be an issue when I started was how serious the PA's and the guys under me in GW were going to take me. Some of them have adapted just fine and some haven't especially one of the guys in GW. I think I am going to have an issue with him challenging me. I'm pretty sure I am going to have to put him in his place to get him to understand I am the manager or I'll just fire him. LOL. Then there are a couple of old guys who work there part time who think they know it all and have no desire to want to listen to me, so I am going to have to go a different direction with them. The hours and schedule is a little rough especially next week since it is inventory week and I am working a six day work week. Next Saturday is going to be a long day. Other than that the new job is going well, thanks again for all who e-mailed asking about it, I appreciate it.


As for my old job I still haven't gotten my final commission checks and I have a feeling it's going to be another week. That was one thing about that company that really ticked me off, they always had there heads up their butts when came to employee's benefits and money.

Is there anything better than hot chili on a cold rainy day? Hell to the no!


So let's talk a little TV...well start with Smallville. So the last two episodes have definitely set the tone for this season. Episode two was called Plastique and it featured the DC character by the same name which I am not too familiar with so let's check Wikipedia:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plastique_(comics)

So she's definitely a supervillian and from the article she is not a villain of Supes. So why introduce her? Anyway it was a pretty good episode which had Clark saving his new boss Tess from the blown up bus. Chole meeting Doomsday who is Davis Bloom and sparks fly between the two. We also had Clark trying to save Plastique and eventually showing Plastique his powers which was never explained if she knew or not, it was pretty obvious that she knew though. Then there was the biggest surprise of the episode at the end and it sounds like Tess is creating her own Injustice League which makes me think Lex left specific instructions for Tess to do this in case he were to go missing. Finally there was the exchange between Clark and Chloe about her engagement to Jimmy. Clark found out from Davis and went to Chloe to see if she would tell him which she finally did. It was a heartfelt moment as Clark told Chloe he would always be there for her and they had a nice hug it out moment. Episode three was the Green Arrow origin story and probably was the best episode so far this season. The writers did a great job sticking to GA's origin while interwining Tess into it which did not bother me at all. I loved how Chloe was adamandant that Clark not take Ollie to the hospital and to trust Ollie. It was a great scene. We learned a lot about Tess this episode and by the end of the show we definitely know how bad she can be, Lex picked an excellent replacement. We finally got confirmation that some of BRANIAC is in Chloe. Clark became very concerned and ultimately he's going to have to intervene and do something to help Chloe. Clark was definitely bitch slapped throughout this episode. Chloe and Ollie both told him he needed to step up and to trust his friends. It was a good lesson for Clark and it should have opened his eyes. All in all a great episode and this week's episode looks to be a filler episode so hopefully it will be entertaining.


Not much was happening with The Office since the debates were on, Earl was pretty good, for all her hotness I will never be able to look at Jaime Pressly without seeing the redneck/white trash Joy, well here's a pic anyway:



I am not even going to get into a discussion about Heroes, it would take me at least three hours to discuss just one episode. All I can say is finding out Sylar, Peter, and Nathan are brothers was crazy. I don't know how I feel about Peter taking over Sylar's powers, I just hope he doesn't become the villain in this story. All in all every episode has been strong and I have a feeling it's going to get better. BTW the best moment of the entire series was Hiro and Ando digging up Adam and the line Adam utters as he is choking Hiro, priceless.


Pushing Daisies came back last week and it was a decent season opener, I really enjoyed the montage of Chuck and Ned doing a nice little dance through their apartment so that they do not touch each other. It was pretty cool. This week's episode looks good also, it looks like Ned's Dad is going to be making a visit.


HIMYM and BBT have been great. BBT's episode on Monday was one of the best they've done since they've been on TV. The whole Penny/Sheldon dynamic was great. I loved how Penny called Sheldon on his cell during his tirade against his arch-nemesis in the dean's office and then she calls the dean's office and asks to speak to Sheldon who talks to her and tells her not to go on the quest. It all centered around Penny becoming addicted to a WOW type game. It was amazing to see Penny's transformation from hottie to nottie throughout the episode. She did a great job. Sheldon was his awesome self, he's definitely becoming the focus of the show. HIMYM was pretty good, it had some nice moments, Barney's refusal to lower his arm unless he got a knuckle tap was great. The whole Ted not moving to NJ was pretty funny, especially when they all got into the pros of each state and Marshall agreeing NJ was better than NY. Monday night is a great night for TV.

The Simpsons and Family Guy were their normal great episodes. The whole bird is the word Family Guy was great and it kept that song in my head for a few days. Wella wella everybody's heard about the bird, here let it sink in:





Let's see what else, I got a lot done on my two days off. So that's a good thing. It's going to be a rough rest of the week and next week. But oh well.


Well I think that's about it. I will hopefully have something up later next week. Otherwise take care and have a good week.

Staying Alive, ah ah ah Staying Allliiiveee!!

Well folks I am back, it's been awhile hasn't it? So here's the skinny, with this new job my schedule is all messed up and with my baby boy not sleeping through the night it's been really difficult to get any blogging done. However I do have Tuesday and Wednesday off and I will definitely up date the blog this week. I have a lot to talk about, the new job, Smallville, NBC Thursday night's, Pushing Daisies, and a lot more. So stay tuned because the next two days I am back baby. I'm also going to try to figure out a good schedule to blog, it may have to be on my day's off, either way I will make sure you get your daily fix.

Odds and Ends-Short Circuit 2-Johnny 5 Strikes Back

What's going on folks? I'm sorry for the lack of posts these last few days, it's been pretty busy with getting ready for the new job and taking care of the kids. But I am here and I have a few things to talk about and some more great pictures.

So let's start with the weekend. It was a great weekend. We had some great family time at the zoo and then had a nice evening in with brats on the grill. I had to work Sunday and it was a long day of cleaning the store for the big wigs that were visiting on Tuesday. All in all a good weekend.

I did play golf with my Dad on Monday and it was not a pretty sight. In fact I think that was the worst I've ever played since I started playing golf. I mean I am not a bad golfer but it sure looked like I was a beginner on Monday. Plus my Dad didn't play great either, so we wound up only playing 13 holes and then packed in. We both were just too frustrated. It was nice though to spend some one on one time with my Pops though.


Monday night was a great night for TV though, it was the premieres of BBT, HIMYM, and HEROES!!! BBT was fantastic. It just proved my earlier comment in the CBS preview post that Sheldon is one of the best characters on TV right now. I could not stop laughing over how he could not live with Penny's secret and it finally took vicadin and warm milk for him to spill the secret. It was a great episode and Kaley looked especially hot. HIMYM was pretty good also. NPH delivered another stellar performance as Barney, I loved his bimbo speech and how he couldn't stop banging bimbo's while being in love with Robin, priceless. The Ted storyline was ok, I liked the Star Wars test and how his fiance didn't like Star Wars but was willing to pretend because she loved Ted. Marshall not being able to find a job and asking everyone "What are you doing?" was pretty funny. I think both episodes were excellent and it was a nice start to the season.


Then there was Heroes and OMG did they knock it out of the park. I wanted to do a full recap on the episodes but I would not be able to do it justice. Trust me and go to nbc.com and find those episodes and watch them you will not regret it. Heroes is officially back to it's season one form and they kicked some major butt on Monday. The whole Future Peter/Present Peter was confusing but it was awesome to see it played out. It was nice to find out what Angela's power was and it definitely answered why Peter was having visions in the first episode of the show. The whole Sylar and Claire part was freaky and interesting. I loved the part where Claire asks Sylar if he was going to eat her brains and his response of that being disgusting was great. We officially know now how Sylar gets his powers and with Claire's power he is now invincible. I also was intrigued on what Sylar told Claire about her being special and how she doesn't even know the extent of her powers. Great stuff and Hayden looked very hot. The Hiro/Ando scenes were interesting and I loved Hiro disobeying his father and his father leaving him another DVD telling him he knew he would do that. I was to keen on how Hiro was treating Ando after seeing the future Ando supposedly kill Hiro with Ando's newly acquired powers. It just felt odd that the wold treat him that way knowing the future can be changed. The whole Batman/Robin dialogue was great also. I really don't have much to say about the Parkman, Nathan, Tracy storylines, they were good but nothing major. It was good to see HRG get back in action and protect his family. BUT THE BIGGEST SURPRISE WAS THE ENDING WHICH MADE ME ALMOST CRAP MY PANTS!!!!! Angela Petrelli is Sylar's MOTHER!!!!!!!!!! HOLYEE CRAP! So did not see that one coming. I had to watch that scene a few times to make sure I heard her right and she did confirm that she is his mother. That scene was one of the greatest surprises ever in TV history. If those two episodes are any indication of what this season is going to be like then it's going to be a legendary season of Heroes.


Well I think that's about it for the night. I should have another post up later this week probably Friday night. Don't forget Thursday night is the NBC premieres and it looks like it's going to be pretty good.

Finally here are a few pics of Keely, Hayden, Lucy, and just a few hotties:

Odds and Ends-Smallville thoughts

Ok so this is a little late, I figured I wasn't going to be able to post as often when I took this new job. Speaking of the new job, I haven't started yet, it will be Monday. As of right now I am working at the current store to get at least a 40 hour paycheck. So it should all work out.

So let's get to Smallville, well it wasn't bad but it wasn't great. Here's a little recap and then I will give my thoughts.

-The Justice League consisting of Green Arrow, Aquaman, and Black Canary attack a compound in the Artic where they find Luthor's goons looking for Lex. The JL take out the bad guys and find Clark's frozen jacket. We are also introduced to Tess Mercer the new CEO of Luthor Corp.

-New opening credits-pretty sweet

-We then see Lois as a HOT French maid breaking into Lex's mansion and retrieving a zip drive. She is the busted by Tess and after a brief catty convo Lois lets her know she is looking for Chloe and she will find her.

-We then see Chloe and she is in some secret facility the is run by a govt agency. It is revealed that Chloe has become more intelligent that the fastest supercomputer.

-We then get the JL and how they cannot find Clark. GA does not want to give up, so they keep looking for Clark.

-We finally see where Clark is and he's in Russia, he's a prisoner, and he has no powers. Bad Russian Guy won't let Clark call for help so Clark tries to escape only to be shot and crashes his getaway vehicle. He's then beaten up and left to die.

-Next up is Tess and her threats to the guy who went with Lex to find the fortress. She threatens him and he blows her off.

-Back to Chloe and they have another test for her, she needs to break a code for three sets of cell phone numbers that the govt agency says are terrorists. Chloe begins to break the codes and we see that these numbers are for Aquaman and Black Canary who are captured. Chloe starts on the last set and realizes it's GA's cell and she FINALLY puts it all together that this is not a govt agency, she is being held by Lex's goons. She tries to escape only to be caught.

-We get back to Clark who survived the gun shot and tries to escape again only to get his butt kicked by the BRG. Out of nowhere Ollie/GA shows up and basically buys Clark his freedom after the two have a staged fight. Clark and Ollie take a nice jet flight and Clark reveals Jor-El took his powers as a fail safe if the Fortress was destroyed. Ollie then fills him in on what is going on with the JL and Chloe. They decide to bust Chloe out.

-Black Canary and Aquaman are being held captive where Chloe is and they are powerless. Chloe will not give out the last number. GA and Clark arrive and split up to find everyone. Clark runs into Lois, who is disguised as one of the guards, they both promptly get rid of the guards and work together to find Chloe.

-Chloe still refuses to give up the number so she is drugged with a drug that was made from her Mother's spinal fluid that makes people do what they are told. She is drugged up and gives up GA's cell number. The guy who went with Luthor to the Artic is the bad guy behind all of this so he captures GA and injects him with the drug. He tells GA to find out what happened to Lex.

-Clark and Lois find Chloe. Lois gets tasered by the geek who was working on Chloe, Clark kicks his butt. Chloe tells Clark that the JL is in trouble and Clark goes to help.

-Clark finds GA. GA is under the influence of that drug and wants to know where Lex is, Clark is confused and GA shoots him with an arrow in the shoulder. GA asks Clark again and Clark tells GA he doesn't know and GA shoots Clark through the heart.

-GA wakes from the drug to see what he's done and Chloe comes down to see Clark dying. She wants to heal him since she has the power to do that but he says not to do it because Chloe will be hurt in the process. Chloe tries to heal him but she no longer has that power and Clark is about ready to die when the Martian Manhunter shows up and takes Clark into space.

-Clark wakes up in the barn and MM tells him he is healed and has his powers back. MM flew Clark into the sun to heal him. MM promised Jor-El he wouldn't interfere but MM could not let Clark die. Clark thanks him and MM tells him he is now powerless because of what he did to help Clark. Clark decides to sell the farm and take on his destiny in Metropolis. MM is happy about this.

-Chloe accepts Jimmy's proposal of marriage.

-The JL including Clark meet up to discuss what to do next. They decide to lay low and to continue their search for Lex since Clark believes Lex knows his secret.

-The last scene is with Lois and Clark. Clark decides to take the job at the Daily Planet and is sitting across from Lois. Lois smiles.

Well that last scene definitely gave this episode a big boost. The chemistry between Clark and Lois was just plain awesome. The look on Lois' face was priceless and you could tell she is beginning to have feelings for Clark.

It was great to see and hear Clark FINALLY move on. With him moving to Metropolis it finally gets the ball rolling with the Superman mythos. I loved his speech to MM and how he is ready to move on and accept his destiny.

Speaking of MM I was VERY surprised to see him in this episode, although I am not to keen on him losing his powers that easily, I would bet money he hasn't lost him, they are just diminished. It was a great surprise guest appearance.

The JL scene's were great, although I don't agree with how easy it was for Aquaman and the Black Canary to be captured. GA was fantastic in this episode and really showed his leadership skills, the scene with him shooting Clark and then waking up from the drug and seeing what he had done will definitely have him reconsidering being a hero. I especially like the little comment by BC on why Cyborg and The Flash weren't around to help, when in fact they were helping to find Clark albeit on the other side of the world.

There were a lot of positives to this episode but there were quite a few negatives. For instance I think they tried to cram too much into this episode. In fact we never found out what exactly happened in the facility after MM flew Clark out. Instead we get Clark and MM talking about his powers and moving to Metropolis, but we never find out how the JL and Chloe go out of the facility and what happened to the Luthor main goon. Instead we get the Chloe/Jimmy proposal. They could have saved the proposal for te next episode and then extended the facility escape. What's worse is when the JL and Clark meet up towards the end of the show, all three of them are just fine and don't look like they have any residual effects. It was just sloppy writing.

I was ok with the explanation Clark gave about Jor-El taking his powers. It does make sense and I really didn't have a big problem with it although it was mentioned very briefly.

So all in all it was a good episode. It looks like next week we get a new DC character called Plastique.

Odds and Ends: I'm outta here edition

So let's just get this out of the way now:










Yes folks it is a joyful day, today is my last day at my current job. I no longer have to deal with that long drive or the stupid cold calls. It is a happy, happy, joy, joy day.


In fact yesterday turned out to be a great day also, why? Well WOW finally got their heads out of their butts and got our cable, internet, and phone back on. So yes I will be watching Smallville tonight. Why didn't I watch it last night? Well for one I had to work and then the wife had her girlfriend over and they were watching that stupid show Grey's Anatomy. It was cool though I was just glad Smallville got DVR'd and I can watch it tonight.


It looks like it's going to be an awesome weekend. The wife has class on Saturday so I get to spend some time with the kids. We're then heading over to the zoo so my daughter can see Dora the Explorer. So it's going to be a busy Saturday.


I'm definitely sleeping better ever since I moved the bedroom around. It's amazing what a little change will do to your sleeping pattern.

Next week is the big premiere week for all my shows. I'm off on Monday so I'm definitely going to enjoy the Heroes marathon. Plus HIMYM and BBT are back on which means I get to see the lovely Kaley Cuoco:





It's going to be a good week!!


Just a thought, you would think that this being my last day that I would get to pick what I would want for my going away lunch, which would be pizza, but it just doesn't work out that way, I guess I just don't get a say.


Well I guess that's about it for today, I'll post the Smallville recap/thoughts later tonight after I watch the show. Otherwise here are some nice shots of Keely and Lucy:













I definitely like the Superman outfit. Have a good one folks!

Odds and Ends:The Quest for Peace

Good morning everyone! I hope everyone's Thursday is going well. So it's T-Minus one day until I move onto my new job. I have a feeling today is going to be a long day and tomorrow will fly by. Either way it can't come quick enough.

Some of you have asked about my new job and what I will be doing for them. Well it's a manager position in their Golfworks department. I'm pretty sure I will have a staff of three to four. My main responsibilities will be golf club repair, making sure it is QC'd, fittings, and maintaining that department. I'm sure there is a lot more and I am a little nervous even apprehensive about it. I just hope it works out. Plus it is retail and the hours are going to be very different. I'm also a little worried that I may miss some of my daughter's events and I am not going to be happy if I do. However we all have to make sacrifices and this is just another sacrifice I have to make for my family. I think it will all work out, if it doesn't then I'll be looking for another job.

So what else is going on? I guess the biggest news item is the economy and what happened with Wall Street yesterday. I will be the first to admit I am financially ignorant, I don't understand how stocks and bonds work and quite frankly I don't really care. However from what I've read it sounds like things are not going to get any better and it may get worse. That's just wonderful. How much worse can it get? It's just sad to think that we have so many intelligent people in this nation and not one of them can come up with an answer on how to fix the economy. Pretty pathetic.

I am definitely looking forward to Monday. I am going to get to play my first round and probably my last round of golf for the year. I'm pretty sure this is the first year where I've only played once. I'm usually good for about eight rounds a year. This year was different because my son was born and the wife had a difficult pregnancy plus not having any cash doesn't help matters. Anyway I am heading down to play with my Dad at the course he works at, we did this a lot last year and definitely helped us bond. I really do enjoy playing but I enjoy spending time with my Dad. I know I will play like crap but that's ok it'll be nice to get out and have some time with him. Plus he's pretty damn good so it's cool to watch him play.

We still do not have cable, internet, or phone, which means I am doing a lot of this from work. Don't tell. I did call WOW yesterday and I guess they are getting a lot of calls because they aren't allowing any one to access a live rep, which is pretty crappy. So I guess I am going to miss the season premiere of Smallville which makes me a sad panda.

I definitely got some feedback on the pictures of Keely. I think I will add a few here and there of other ladies also, just to spice up the blog. There's nothing wrong with pictures of beautiful ladies just as long as you don't stalk them or touch them. LOL


Well I think that's about it for today, here are a few more pics of Keely and the newest addition Lucy Pinder. Have a good one!

Odds and Ends: Return of the Jedi

So what's going on? I have two more days until I am out of here. It needs to speed up a little, although not being able to work on Monday helped and hurt. It helped to cut the week short but it's going to hurt the old checkbook.

I did some rearranging in the bedroom last night. I told the wife we needed to move the bedroom around to get it ready for the colder weather. It's amazing what you find and how much better you sleep when you rearrange a room. I cleaned our bedroom from top to bottom, moved the bed, TV, and our drawer. There was so much crap everywhere it took me most of the night to get it clean plus our vacuum curse reared it's ugly head so I had to drive over to her Mom's house and pick up here vacuum cleaner. BTW her Mom is the coolest mother-in-law any guy could have, she's always there for us and does what she can to help us out, I'm proud to call her my other Mom. So back to this vacuum curse, yes it is a curse and it won't ever go away. We go through vacuum cleaners at least every 6-12 months. It's freaking scary. We don't even buy the cheap vacuums either, we buy the mid line, but every vacuum we've bought has died on us. Well it happened again last night as I was trying to clean up the vacuum decided to spit out everything I had swept up. So I took it outside and cleaned it out, only for it not pick up anything and if it did it spit it right back out. Pissed me off, it took every ounce of my patience not to throw that damn thing out the window. So now we will have to look for another vacuum. I wish we could afford that Dyson vacuum but those are WAY out of our price range. They look cool though. So anyway I got the bedroom all cleaned up and it looks pretty good. I definitely slept a lot better last night.

What else is going on? It looks like Tobey Maguire has signed on to do Spidey 4 & 5 back to back. He's going to make something like $50 million. I am glad he's back on board with Sam Raimi. I just hope they can find the magic again and make a great Spidey film. I really hope they watch Iron Man and realize that is how you make a Marvel comic come to life on the big screen. It's good news that they are both back though because Tobey is Peter/Spider-Man.

As for DC it looks like Superman is getting re imagined again, which is good news because Superman Returns was horrible. If you go over to www.supermanhomepage.com they have the script that JJ Abrams wrote for his vision of Superman. I read it this morning, keep in mind it's VERY long, and it has some cool ideas although I am NOT ok with the ending. Why does everyone want to change the Superman mythos? He has over 70 years of rich storytelling and someone wants to come along and change it up. Although if you can find it, I definitely recommend trying to Google Kevin Smith's Superman script, it's definitely a must read. Oh and try to find the interview he did about his meeting with the big wigs who wanted to bring his version to the screen, it's pretty funny.

Sorry ladies I needed to add a few pictures for some of the guys who said I was getting a little too girly, I will take care of you ladies in a few days, here you go gentlemen, I give you the lovely Keely Hazel. I think I may have to do this more often. LOL:

WOW is not wow!

Why in the world is it taking WOW cable this long to get my cable, internet, and phone back up? It's now been three days and I'm beginning to get pissed off. I've called them everyday this week and I keep getting the same prompt stating they are working on the issue and do not have an ETA on when the service will be available. All I can say is that it better be back up by tomorrow morning because Smallville premieres tomorrow night and I will be one pissed off customer if I miss the season premiere. Here's what I don't understand, how can Insight (whom I loathe and wish that company burns to the ground) and Time Warner be back to full service in one day and WOW isn't even close to being back on track? Plus I am still being charged for services I am not even using or can use, I need my cable, my internet, and my phone. I have stuff I want to look at, HEH HEH. Although it's been nice having the phone turned off, no creditor calls, WOO HOO. If it isn't back up by this afternoon I think it will be time to raise a little hell. I know it may not do anything but it will be nice just to yell at someone and see if I can get my month free.




Definitely need a new drug.

Grosse Pointe Blank

I just had to add this today. Since we don't have cable, we're digging deep into the DVD's and I watched this gem last night. One of my all time favorite movies.



I definitely recommend checking this movie out.

Later...

Thar She Blows...

Well that was an interesting last couple of days....for those of you who live outside the Midwest we here in Ohio had a nice little visit from the remains of Hurricane Ike. Ike decided on Sunday afternoon to kick up a little wind storm and knock out power to pretty much all of central and southern Ohio. I can honestly say I have never seen or experienced a wind storm like that before; it was brutal. We didn't have any damage at our house but the houses down the street from us had some massive roof damage. We did lose power but were very fortunate to have it back on within a few hours. There are still people without power here in Columbus and it could be the end of the week before it comes back on for them. We still don't have cable, Internet, or phone so hopefully that will kick back on soon because if I have to watch another Max and Ruby DVD, I may have to shoot myself.

For all of you who asked about the baptism, it went very well. The storm hit right after everyone had left so it all worked out. Everyone that was invited showed up and it seemed liked everyone got along. I know my son got overstimulated because he definitely did not sleep well that night, he was passed around like a football all day, but that's ok because a lot of the people who were there have only seen pictures of him. All in all it was a good day.

Well it's been a few days since the disaster in Cali and I really hate to say I told you so but I told you so. Ok here's the thing I don't want to dish any hate on the team because they will have to deal with this loss for the rest of their lives. In fact this loss will define this team for years and years. But I do need to vent and that is the purpose of this blog even with sentence and grammatical errors, right Trevor? Sorry had to take a shot at someone, anyway back to venting and a decision I've come too about this season and possibly next season.

First things first that was absolutely the worst display of OSU football I've seen in a long time. We definitely did not look like a top 5, 10, or even 15 team. In fact we looked more like YSU when we played them earlier this season. There were so many things wrong with that game but the most glaringly was the coaching. I've been watching OSU football for quite some time and I've seen a trend with Tress' coaching and it's this: he doesn't stick with what works. Yeah it's that simple and here's what I mean, anytime we have something working for us and it results in a score he drops it the next series and goes back to his original plan. Look I know defenses adapt and things change but if you have a player who is making a difference and causing a momentum change then why not stick with that player. Tress doesn't do that, we had so much momentum after that field goal that you would think he would alter his game plan but he didn't and it was downhill from there. I'm really beginning to think that Tress is not God and may be another John Cooper.

Yes I know that is harsh but think about every season we've had under Tress, we've only won one NC and that was because of a fluke call. Yes I can admit that and not live in denial about that call. But otherwise think about every season after the NC, we've had all the talent in the world but can never win the big one against any team outside of the Big 10. I mean seriously think about this, we cannot win against an SEC team or a PAC 10 team. I think everybody should share the burden but ultimately it comes down to coaching and Tress may not be that great of a coach.

I wasn't to happy about the comment Tress made about Beanie before the game. He shouldn't have said and I am paraphrasing: Beanie isn't going to ever talk to me again, WTF? Look I know Tress was trying to garner sympathy but don't air your locker room conversations on national TV. As for Beanie, I feel really sorry for him. I know he was looking forward to playing and probably was told everyday leading up to the game that he was playing and then have the carpet yanked out from underneath him, it really sucks to see a great player sidelined like this, I hope when he does come back he will have some fire left in his belly.

I have few comments/questions to say/ask about our defense: Silver Bullets? How about silver blanks? What happened in the span of a year? Was Vernon just that good? I am just very disappointed, almost heartbroken.

As for the offense, go FU** yourselves. No one stepped up except Pryor and he got yanked because Tress had no faith in him. Yep go fu** yourselves.

So after all my venting the decision I've come too is a big one and yes I will be called out on it and frankly I don't care, so here it is. I am done with OSU football this year and next year. I am tried of being disappointed and heartbroken. I will no longer make any mention of them in this blog or have any predictions. I just can no longer watch them and believe we are a great team. I've thought about this for quite some time these last few days and even though I am fan and wish them the best of luck I just cannot sit and watch them any longer. So yes for the rest of the season I will no longer discuss the Bucks.




Alright folks just three more days and I am onto my new job. It cannot come quick enough. Well I hope everyone has a good day and I will talk to you all tomorrow.
