Missed the Brothers

Whenever I return to Ball State for Homecoming, a quote goes through my head, "a thousand memories I just do not remember." I could make a feeble attempt to entertain you with my misdeeds, but I don't think this blog has the space.
In a nutshell, responsibility was my nemisis. So when I had bases covered to go back to get my "fix," it didn't happen. My daughters were sick and I of course chose to stay home watch them. Well hell, there's always next year.

The Best College Football Player in the Land

I am a huge Domer fan who is obviously not happy, but Reggie Bush is flippin' scary.

Really, what do think was the clue?

Romo tells '60 Minutes' he used steroids
Associated Press
NEW YORK -- Bill Romanowski used steroids and human growth hormone supplied by Victor Conte, the former NFL linebacker tells CBS' "60 Minutes" in an interview to be broadcast Sunday.
Romanowski
Romanowski said he took illegal steroids for a two-year period starting in 2001 and got them from Conte, the former head of the Bay Area Laboratory Co-Operative, which has been at the center of a steroids controversy in several sports.
"I took [human growth hormone] for a brief period and ... I definitely didn't receive what I got out of THG," Romanowski said, referring to another drug he got from Conte.
In November 2003, the NFL notified Romanowski that he tested positive for the steroid THG.
Romanowski played linebacker for the San Francisco 49ers, Philadelphia Eagles, Denver Broncos and Oakland Raiders in a 16-year career that ended in 2003.
Last May, he agreed to pay former Raiders teammate Marcus Williams $415,000 in damages for a hit to the face during a practice drill in 2003. Williams' career ended after his eye socket was broken.
Romanowski played for the Raiders during their 2002 Super Bowl season.
He writes about his NFL career in a soon-to-be-released book, "Romo, My Life on the Edge."

Being a child of the 80s, I remember the Smurfs. UNICEF sacrificing them to gain awareness of the atrocities of Africa is a quality move. Europe ignored the genocide by Slobo and Clinton let Rwanada become a butcher's market. But we are again allowing these crimes to repeat themselves in the Congo and Sudan.

• I am deeply torn, happy the Sox for reaching the ALCS, but again, they are dirty southsiders.
• Republicans attacking Miers; listen children, I know you been suckered punched by Souter and Kennedy, but you have to put your pride aside and really look at the big picture. Quit being short-sided demos and think about, he knows her, he trusts her, and she may be the real deal. Did you elect Bush to become a fiscal conservative, yes, is he? No! Lest you forget, he inherited a recession. That means Clinton's economy was tanking as he was moving out of 1600. He has rebuilt it. He was in command as we suffered the worst attack on our soil. He took them out. The Bush Doctrine in the Middle East may take several years and we have made enemies ... no we are flushing them out. In the end, when the dust settles, we will look back and shudder at what could have been if we were not there in the sandbox.
• Peanut has got to regain the form that used to shut Moss down.
• congrats to Joe Pa for the outstanding win against OSU.
• global warming and hurricanes are not solely caused by Bush's departure from Kyoto ... if I recall, in the 70s, we were supposed to prepare for the next Ice Age.
• if I were a democrat, I have integrity thus I am not, I would be pissed at my party. They offer no message, outside of Bush = evil, and no real leadership. They are even hesitant to put hillary for the president. Need to get it together, or better yet, stay the course.
• lasty, I love this one. If bill and hillary's marriage were anymore of a convience, they would be a slurpee macine in the bedroom.
