Various tidbits

Howdy all!

Today, I am just gonna talk about how my past couple of weeks have been. Start with school, wind through news, end with football. Ready? Here we go.

So far, school has yet to improve, crazy teacher is crazy, while the others are slowly growing on my nerves. One of them actually told us today that he puts some false information on the slides to show bad examples of various works... without pointing this out on the slide itself. That means if I miss a class, I could be in a world of trouble if I resort to only the slides. This also happens to be the class I am doing the worst in.

On the brighter side, my labs are going much betterm with the exception of freshman general biology lab, which is surprising. I am a senior and have seen most of this in all the classes I have had so far, yet I can't even get more than half the points of the question section? Really T.A.? Do you have to grade it so hard that if I don't mention a vague factiod about the subject the question is asking I get half off? That is bull.

Another bright side is that American Government is starting to become my favorite class solely on how well i am doing compared to the other classes.

Off to the news.

First, why oh why did Barack Obama get a Nobel Peace Prize. He has done NOTHING to deserve it, yet. The one reason why he got it that I have heard is it could possibly help some proposals of his. This is bull. This is just like how people voted for Sam Bradford for heisman just so they could have two heisman winners duke it out in the national championship(which is also another theory I heard back then). Anyways, I am not saying that he should never get one, but I believe he hasn't done anything to deserve it yet.

Thats all I have for news that I can think of today.

Finally to football!

So, I went to the Cotton Bowl and watched two big rivals, the Longhorns and the land thieves... I mean Sooners(no offense on this little joke), fight it out. I have to say I was saddened by how badly the Longhorn offense did due to the Sooner defense being rediculously good. The truly was a defensive battle the whole way.

That brings me to another point, Sam Bradford. Damn, just damn. I feel sorry for this guy. He wanted to come back, forsaking millions, just so he could try and win a national title. I give him props for this. But with both these injuries, I feel sorry. His whole stock in the draft will fall from this, losing him alot of money, as well as injuries that could cause complications later in life. I hope he gets better. Good luck to him.

Third, Colt McCoy. I loved how he ran during the game, even though he "fumbled" the ball after a beastly run. He did not fumble it. I didn't like his throwing so much, mostly due to the sooners being outstanding with their pass guarding. They did amazing, and it showed with his numbers.

Thinking of that fumble, this was the worst officiating I have ever seen, worse than this high school playoff game I went to where the refs were biased out their ass. Those refs called pass interference so much on my team that were not that it was rediculous. Anyways, the refs in the UT v OU game need to be sent back to ref school. They called so many things that weren't right while having to rely on the booth for many plays. Speaking of the booth, you also need to get sent back to officiating school since you called a horrible verdict on that last fumble by McCoy. That is a little extreme, but seriously, you guys need to get your act together.

That was said without knowing the exact ruling for fumble and whatnot, but I saw another paly in the NFL that had much better angles on the ball and the ball was actually moving out of the guys hand towards the ground, but since it was "between the arm and the chest" it was deemed in possesion. Colt had much more control on the ball, yet they called it a fumble? WTF! I trust the NFL ruling more than the other.

Anyways, I guess its that time to wrap it up and call it a night. Hopefully I will have cooler things to talk about later.

Peace,
