I thought it might be fun to look back at some of the posts made during 2006. Maybe you missed some of these the first time around… maybe you’ll want to see them again.
It is fun to have posted enough to be able to have a post like this!
Joyful Day for the Xie [...]

If you, like me, missed the Insight Bowl pitting Texas Tech versus Minnesota… it looks like you (we) missed a GREAT game. Unless you are a Golden Gopher fan…
TT was down 31 points at the half and Coach Leach basically told his team that they were now in a great position: they had set themselves [...]

Nothing says summer like…

a sharp metal object upside your head…
Did anyone else have JARTS?
We had them at my house and it was a blast to play. They are big (sorta)… heavy (sorta)… with sharp tips (sorta)… and those three “sortas” turn the JART into an incredibly dangerous missile when launched by hand on a nice summer’s evening.
I’m not [...]

It’s Gameday!

And I’m in the USA for it… this will be the first time I’ve been in the USA for the beginning of football season since 1998. Besides family… football season is what I miss most about living in the USA.
If you are a regular reader… you know I’m a big Nebraska Cornhusker fan.
I’ll get to [...]

I’ve gone light on my fantasy sports entries the last couple years. Taking the top spot in my 20 team league a few years ago took more time than I wanted to spend and I have nothing to show for it except for a big trophy on my Yahoo Fantasy Sports shelf…
But I’m ready to [...]

Say it isn’t so Floyd

Floyd Landis has tested positive for high levels of testosterone.
This puts his Tour title in jeopardy… and if he really was doping then he should be stripped of the title and banned forever… but I doubt he was doping.
There are natural reasons this could happen… and I’d think that riding the best ever stage of [...]

And he’s back in Yellow!
I know I’m not the only American who likes the Tour de France… but there aren’t many of us! Since the readers of this blog are typically more “cultured” than the general population… I’m probably OK to keep posting about “le Tour”.
Anyway… after what could only be called (in very technical [...]

Le Tour
I first blogged HERE about the Tour de France.
CONGRATS to American Floyd Landis who is currently wearing the yellow jersey… worn by the leader of the Tour. They are through 12 of 20 stages and there are several people who could win it all. I’ll pick Landis or Denis Menchov (RUS) to win it.
CONGRATS [...]

Le Tour de France 2006
July 1st, 2006 · No Comments
Starts TODAY!
I love this race… too bad that since Lance Armstrong is not in it… it probably won’t be as accessible on the internet as much as in previous years. Also… the latest news reveals that a couple favorites are out of this race due to doping allegations… Jan Ullrich and Ivan Basso. If they [...]
