It's not a video

And yes I am posting at work, but technically I'm still at lunch so it doesn't count. But it's been a fun week, being told I am not doing my job, then that I don't know how to do my job, and my sis telling me I don't have a real job. But the woman complained printing took too long, and it was my fault, I did what I could and that was apologize for the delay but that was not good enough. Today I had to tell a patron that limewire is an illegal program to use at the library and if he did not stop we would ban him from using our WIFI, he didn't seem to understand that we cannot be responsible for distributing illegal music/video/software or whatever he was downloading, then he follows it up so where can I get music then? Seriously dude, I might know where but there is no way in hell I am the one who is going to tell you.

And then I had to go to Ikea, it was great the store was empty, and I needed to buy a bed frame. So since it was empty I decided to see what else was on sale, ehhh not much that I could use, big discounts on oddball items that no one wants. But I went to pick the damn frame I wanted, get the girl to help me, she tells me they have 4 in stock I was like cool, she tells me downstairs, I go down there and guess what they are no where to be found. I start walking up and down aisle 28 looking for the damn frame. I go to the help desk, he looks it up, and it is a full service item, which means that it's not with the other frames, but they actually have to get it from the back for you. Ok, he prints up my ticket, I go pay, and then pick it up. But bedding woman couldn't you have told me this? In the whole conversation of that's the one I want, and do you have it, you couldn't have said but it's not down there, and I have to print this up for you? Other than that it was ok, I guess.

On a completely different side note, Fox's game time crew sucks, they don't know how to talk about games. Will Oklahoma go for it on 3 and1, well yes, it's F*CKIN third down morons, they will go for it! And enough with the Tebow man loving every 13 seconds, yeah he's a down to earth do good guy, but don't keep telling me this. Oh and it doesn't matter to me how long it takes for Oklahoma between plays, as long as they snap the ball before the play clock expires then great if not 5 yard penalty, or as everyone knows these as basic rules.

And this is my last week off before schools starts up again, but if last semester was any indication, I'll have about 15 weeks off from real work. It should be better though, because I do not have a computer basics class that will drive me insane every week, instead I have more basic library function classes :-) So depending on how those go, I will have more frustrated rant posts coming up, and those are always fun! Bright spots of the coming semester include: Paczki Day (YAY Hamtramck Polish Drinking Day), and St. Patty's Day (During Spring Break, double bonus). And for those of you who remember last year; WE ARE TABLE #3, #3, #3, WE ARE TABLE #3, WHERE THE F*CK IS TABLE 4? Hopefully we have drunk wannabe leprechaun leading the chants again. And about that whole designated driver thing...1 2 3 NOT IT.

And to finally end this post I was looking stuff up when I found an awesome definition of a word that originated in West Philadelphia where I was born and raised, on the playground is where I spent most of my days, chillin' out maxin' relaxin' all cool and all shootin' some b-ball outside the school when a couple of guys who were up to no good, started making trouble in my neighborhood. Got in one little fight and my mom got scared, said you're moving with your Auntie and Uncle in Belair. And you have just been belaired.

And now to rag on Michigan

So it's been a horrible season, we knew that the offense would suck, but to see the defense as bad as it's been was a surprise. But should the offense sucking be a real surprise? Looking at last year's stats UofM had one of the worst offenses in the Big 10, yes even with all the NFL talent they were still one of the worst, and damnit I didn't know that. The defense last year was just as bad, but this year they couldn't rely on the offense to do anything. But the worst part of this season was reading Brandon Minor's comments after the OSU game:

"You can't really blame Rich Rod because everybody on the team did not buy in like they're supposed to. We have a couple of guys not going hard," he said. "We'll correct that most definitely. That ain't going to happen on my watch as a senior."
So the team quit on their coach early, some probably stayed because they couldn't play anywhere else, but why the hell quit on your coach/team? Why couldn't the coach get them to paly, why couldn't you sit the guys who didn't want to play for you? So after reading Minor's comments, does the real rebuilding start next year? I mean if the players don't want to play for you, and there will be departures, will next year be the same as this year, or do we start seeing some players that RRod actually wants. But to his credit even getting blown out at least the team didn't look like they gave up yesterday. The bright spot is he started 3-8 at West Virginian, and we all know what happened there, so it might be fun to watch two good teams in Michigan again.

So let the crybaby Michigan comments commence.

Wait what did you say?

SO the first time in years that MSU has a chance to go to the Rose Bowl, yes you need the perfect conditions, a 1 in 100 win against PSU, and a 1 in a million shot of UofM beating tOSU this year. So you kind of have to root for a team you hate. State fans need UofM to beat Ohio, and if you can manage a win you're in the Rose Bowl, and are Big Ten Champs. (Holy Crap I am writing about MSU in the Rose Bowl). You expect your coach to know this, right? He should be saying things like we need to worry about ourselves and hope for the best, blah blah, blah...

But No he says:
I'm not rooting for Michigan," said head coach Mark Dantonio, who has spent 11 of the last 14 years working for Michigan State or Ohio State. "I'm going to focus on our task at hand here and worry about the things we can control. I have too many good friends and too many people that wouldn't let me back into their house to let me do that.

"So Go Bucks."
Wait, What?!?! SO you mean to tell me that you would rather see your old friends/team win, then admit you want a school you hate to win? You realize you need Michigan to win, not only should you want it you should be praying for a win. But you don't want to burn the bridges at Ohio, and that doesn't make me feel to good about you. Do you actually care about your current coaching job? DO you not realize that for your program this is a gigantic leap?

I'm not even a Spartan fan and that comment pissed me off, I'm not expecting a Michigan win, but damn. How does this make State fans feel? Your coach is rooting for the Buckeyes to win the Big Ten when you have a slim shot at it? Seriously WTF is up with that?

That's Awesome

So there is no netting for PATs in High School Football, and that is why this video is so damn great.

Great Quote

On one of the sports forums I go to I came across this gem that I had to share with everyone:

"As a college football fan I hate the BCS system.

As a Spartan fan, I have no idea what all the fuss is about BCS bowl games."

Damn thats honest, so what do you think? (I ask these questions to try to initiate comments, don't make me pull an eric and put a poll up)

I bet that hurt

Bigtime hit of the day by Terps Kevin Barnes on Cal's Jahvid Best.



And then the aftermath of the hit, if you are squeamish you might not want to watch the gatorade fountain.
