BCS
Let's start with the "Bowl Championship Series". Is there a more screwed up system in sports for awarding a championship? Maybe the NBA Playoffs, where the teams with the highest television ratings get to play for the trophy. But the BCS? What a god damned joke this is. Boise State is the ONLY undefeated Division 1 football team left at the end of the season. 13-0. They beat Oklahoma in their bowl game (a bowl game that most thought they didn't deserve to be invited to). Ohio State goes into the "championship" game undefeated and gets TROUNCED by Florida. Florida ends the season 13-1. Ohio State 12-1. Boise State? 13-0. Hmmmm. I don't need no computer to tell me the the best team in the nation is the one that never lost a game.
AND, the final polls have Boise State at #5! What?!
This is what happens when you let Tostitos and Fed Ex dictate the bowl games, folks. Either start a playoff system NOW, or go back to letting the voters decide. At worst you end up with a situation like 1991 where both Washington and Miami ended up undefeated and never played each other. Big deal.
Weather
So far I'm a fan of global warming. Snow, rain, floods, wind, power outages. Kick ass.
Run Forrest Run!
Training for a marathon...'nuff said. Burning through the new shoes pretty fast. BUT, if people don't stop hitting me with their cars in crosswalks I'm not going to make it to May.
Racing
The 'Lion is back on the waters of Port Gardner, kicking ass and pissing people off. In a new twist this year, we've had high winds for every race. Again, I'm a global warming proponent at this point. More wind!
Three Bi Dudes
So Al Bangorhard, MoveitFred, and some west coast dude have banded together to co-blog. Sounds straight to me.

Thanks for the mention here. I just left my tag on your next post...too lazy to read in the correct order. When's your marathon and is it a full or a 1/2? We're going to be training for a full, methinks, at almsot the same time. Now that's bicoastal.
