Not to Utah: CSU says, “You’re welcome.”
The real worker calls in sick. The columnist does a notes column
…
I don’t know how many of you have had the unfortunate experience
of passing by me at a sporting event, but I like to wear a vest.
It’s black, red, orange, yellow and was made in a decade I can’t
decide upon. It’s hideous. But lately I’ve been looking better than
our football team …
As bad as the Rams may have been, though, Utah experienced
Christmas in September. If the Utah football team doesn’t thank CSU
when it wins the Mountain West Conference this year, I’ll never set
foot in that state again. How often does a fumble end up 10 feet in
the air and drop into your hands at full stride, with not as much
as a long blade of grass in your way to the end zone? Bill Gates
doesn’t even give out gifts that nice …
Yes, I’ll drive around Utah to get to Las Vegas if I have to
…
Speaking of bold proclamations, if you have a rainbow-colored
fanny pack, hook me up. I was impressed with the lack of
key-jingling during Utah’s kickoffs, so I’ll wear one if I find
one. It should go well with my vest …
My appearance is nothing compared to the volleyball team,
though. The spikers are like my boy Blue – they look glorious.
After an insanely tough non-conference schedule, the Rams took out
the top two Mountain West teams on the road (Utah and BYU) and
cracked the top 25. Oh, and they have no seniors …
Honestly, who schedules a test during Homecoming Week? This is
about the only week the university actually has events for students
to participate in, and professors are out here giving tests? No
wonder we have no tradition, school spirit or student involvement
…
But the CSU marketing team is actively trying to boost all that.
Hoping the fan support for men’s basketball from last year’s NCAA
Tournament team carries over to this year, CSU is starting Moby
Midnight Madness. They do this at tons of basketball schools across
the country, where fans show up at midnight for the first official
morning the teams can practice. That would be Oct. 17, and both the
men’s and women’s teams will be practicing starting at 12:01 a.m.
…
Tell me if I’m wrong, but are the Major League Baseball playoffs
not that much more interesting with the Cubs? Oh, you also stopped
watching baseball when the Rockies were eliminated in July …
Now I’m all about Colorado sports teams getting pub from
national magazines, but could they pick a worse week? You’ve heard
of the Sports Illustrated jinx, right? Well, on the cover of that
magazine is right where you’ll find Broncos quarterback Jake
Plummer this week, heading into the biggest game of the year at the
Kansas City Cheifs. But fear not Orange Nation, the Broncos put
their statistic intern to work. In weeks following a Denver Bronco
cover appearance on Sports Illustrated, the Broncos are 7-0-1
…
Looks like I just made $20 off my Kansas City-native roommate
…And finally, I have to give a shout out the Tau Kappa Epsilon
alumni softball team. Not only did they win the annual Frats at Bat
Tournament, they routinely put up 20 runs a game. Too bad it was a
COLLEGE tournament, and everyone they played against still attends
COLLEGE. But after seeing the active members play (they routinely
lost by 20 runs), I understand why they brought in 25- to 30-year
old men to do what they can’t …
Maybe our football team should bring back some alumni. It is
Homecoming. Think Joey Porter’s busy these days?
