Does TE know you have this footage of him, Kev?

The part where he grabbed his foot--priceless!

Love the commenting system. Rating comments is great--especially if you don't feel like replying to the comment you're rating.

I'm dragging you down with me!!! ;-)

That's right. It's golf season when football season is over! ;-)

This would give a whole new meaning to the word "Buckeye" if Ohio State and Victoria's Secret put a deal together. ;-)

Whether he's blogging R or D, he's alienating half of the PSU fan base. Another reason for coaches to avoid discussing politics.

Re: Jay Paterno spends office hours promoting Obama

Tom_Blogical — Mon, 23 Jun 2008 21:22:45 -0000

Agreed all the way around, TG.

RG, I really don't like any of the choices...but I'm definitely not voting for Jimmy Carter 2. ;-)

LOL!!

"I suspect you realize that."

Yes, you are correct, sir. I just keep thinking, "What did you expect?" with Obama's name in the title. Where else was it going to go?

"Maybe next week we'll have a thread where all we discuss is uniform numbers. Or maybe no threads at all. Who knows? Who cares?"

Whatever. Like I said before--"it's not my blog and I don't really care all that much."

Why would you be sorry about telling the truth?

Re: Rich Rod to roll wheelbarrow full of money to WVU

Tom_Blogical — Thu, 10 Jul 2008 22:05:21 -0000

I just have one question. Can he still be considered "Rich" Rod after his "reduced" payout of $1.5 million?

* - Please take into consideration that I'm just trying to crack a joke here. I know--it probably isn't funny if I have to make a note.

** - I'm not sure if T-Mac approves of this message.

Once again, TG--agreed on all counts. :-)

"You know that was a dig at Michigan fans now, right?"

Dude. Surely you jest. ;-)

"Upper Middle-Class Rod just doesn't have the same appeal..."

No, but Broke-Rod Mountain is kinda catchy.

Re: Rich Rod to roll wheelbarrow full of money to WVU

Tom_Blogical — Thu, 10 Jul 2008 22:43:48 -0000

I appreciate that. I'd hope the note about cracking a joke would save me from the heat, though. And the fact that I know West Virginia fans have a good sense of humor--especially since I'm mocking the University of Michigan for being too cheap to cover the buyout clause. Right? Right.

Re: Elsie taking aim at Gatorade?

Kevin:

I've seen chocolate milk as a rival to gatorade story in nutrition class and some nutritional mags. It's definitely a tastier alternative. :-)

Re: Elsie taking aim at Gatorade?

Tom_Blogical — Wed, 16 Jul 2008 10:45:59 -0000

Well, you are allowed to drink a glass of water prior to and after a glass of chocolate milk. Milk and chocolate syrup is still cheaper than Gatorade.

Re: Elsie taking aim at Gatorade?

Tom_Blogical — Wed, 16 Jul 2008 10:55:04 -0000

LOL! I hear ya.

Re: Elsie taking aim at Gatorade?

Tom_Blogical — Wed, 16 Jul 2008 18:08:13 -0000

LOL! At least it would be soothing coming up! :-)

Just so you know, I put this to the test today. I cut the grass today with a personal pace push mower, and then went through a conditioning workout. It took me 1.5 hours to cut the grass (2 bags worth), and the workout consisted of 8 cycles through the following 3 exercises: 10 medicine ball wood choppers, 15 medicine ball slams, and 10 burpees. That took about 20 minutes. It's 90 degrees in central Ohio today.

I drank water throughout and then made some chocolate milk after. I thought it was pretty good, and I didn't feel like yakking! ;-)

I agree with Bevo Boy about the MSU game. I believe the Spartans will win in Ann Arbor this year.

Re: Hold it - NCAA changes facemasking rules for 2008

Tom_Blogical — Tue, 29 Jul 2008 17:40:23 -0000

I agree with the rule change. I don't have any problem with someone grabbing a facemask without pulling, twisting, or turning it, because no injury can occur here.

I believe the helmet-to-helmet foul should be completely junked. If it's obvious someone is using their helmet for a weapon, the team committing the foul needs to be penalized 15 yards, automatic first down for the opposing team, and the player in question automatically kicked off the field. There is nothing a player can do about their helmet accidentally hitting the helmet of the player they're tackling. Why penalize them for it? (That's a rhetorical question--I'm not asking someone to try and convince me otherwise).

The cut block (one-on-one, not the dirty two-on-one high/low crap) is a good block if you execute it properly. The block is supposed to be used above the knees. That's how I was taught to use it, anyway--and it was burned into my brain to keep it there or it was a cheap shot--I had a great coach. Anyone using it at knee level or lower should be penalized. Yeah, I know. That leaves a lot open to interpretation, but I think this would be a very obvious one to call.
