College World Series, here they come! NCSU #1 Seed in Raleigh!
The question is are we going to the sub regional? It includes Charlotte, SoCar, and JMU
The UNC Subregional is in Cary and includes Wilmington, Elon, and for the first time ever Mt St. Mary's
UF alas is only a number #2 seed and is in the same sub regional as FSU. Oh well, maybe next year.
Oh and BTW, I am also rooting for LBSU, because their baseball team's mascots are the Dirtbags! Awesome!
A consolidated trash talk & smack talk forum for fantasy football and co-dependent enabling of NCSU basketball. They only do it because they love us.

Antonio Rodrigo "Minotauro" Nogueira (Big Nog)
Noted as having quite possibly the best chin in all of MMA, Big Nog, is one of the toughest Heavyweights to ever put on a pair of 4 ounce gloves. He has taken a pounding from the all time Heavyweight great Fedor Emelianenko on three different occasions and survived to hear the judge's decision twice. (One encounter was stopped due to accidental cut).
Prior to his meetings with Fedor, Nogueira battled Bob Sapp during Pride Shockwave in 2002. If Nogueria's chin was ever a question mark, all was answered on August 22, 2002. 365 lbs muscle-bound Sapp picked Nog up and slammed him onto his head, leaving onlookers wondering if he would even get up. Nogueira's submission of Sapp just minutes later will live on in MMA infamy forever.

The other shoes to drop on this Clemen's thing; now that the bloom is off of his rose and reporters have begun to look into every aspect of his life, I'm hoping we get a ton more stories like this one (although, maybe with a little less statuatory rape).
Mr. Clemens, are you now, or have you ever been a pederast?

Day One o' the Draft!
Good times.
The wife, the Admir0l, the Harbinger of Haggis, and the Peanut all enjoyed a day filled with fried chicken, okra, and the scent of hope from all 32 teams in the NFL.
We watched as my Pats traded down to pick up some random LB; we also watched as Berman trotted out the same tired jokes as last year, and the year before that, and the year before that; we also got to see quite the ensemble from Keyshawn, which entailed a pink tie, a checked shirt, and I think, a pin-striped suit jacket (I can only hope he had on plaid pants).

tom caught babbling!
So I go to the office today and I see this guy in a Raider's t-shirt, toting a Raiders Jersey and I joke about Al Davis and mention how the Raiders are my team, Marcus Alan and all that.
I see the Jersey and realize I'm talking to the Alvis Whitthead. Yep. Played Peach Bowl with Terry Harvey etc. . .
Dude only about 5'10" but finished 7th in Olympic Trials. . .
Freaking amazing. I was stumbling over words.
Turns out our long time track Coach was at Orange High in 93, when Whitthead started running. . .
He said he's got a workout in Buffalo after the draft. He's not too positive on it as his years in the league aren't a healthy thing for a back up in the cap. . .
I love the small world I live in. . .

So, Davidson...
They were actually an amazingly good team. In fact, I'm not quite sure how NC State beat them.
They played three Final Four teams - Kansas, UNC, and UCLA - and lost by an average five points.
I think they lose their starting point guard and that Stephen Curry will side into the point next year, so I don't expect a repeat of this in '08. But jeebus, they really are good.

I dont believe there is a mathematical way for the 'Uar to catch the SCW, so I guess we owe her some kind of prize during her 'East Coast Spring '08 Wolfstravaganza'.

Don't know how many of you are watching the NBA
but my god! The fact that only 1 team has clinched a playoff spot, and they don't know whether they'll be 1st or 6th is fantastic! Also, the up and down style of most of the teams (Spurs excepted) makes for some great hoops. I, personally, will be recording most of the games down the stretch, and all of the playoff games this season. On a side note, thank goodness that TNT has the Western Conference Finals, it means more Chuck and Kenny (and Ernie, good to see that he's gotten better from his lymphoma).

I dont know how they did it...
but since the Damars do have 'some' experience with conspiracies, I'm quite certain that rigging the Ironic Title basketball pool wasn't very difficult.
The Wolf at least had enough love of all that is Good and Just is this world, torn assunder by war and apathy, to pick the Rock Chalk Jay Hawks to win it all.
The G.P. , on the other hand, appears to have soaked himself in the blood of clubbed baby seals and picked the Heels.

Bye Bye JJ
So I was talking with my sources in athletics and it's doubtful JJ will return for another year. Apparently bigs are hard to keep in college because the NBA want them coached for the NBA at the earliest age possible. Unlike, say a guard, that they want to have college experience. That and his mom is poor.

The Onion at its best!
TEMPE, AZ—Claiming he was initially excited at the prospect of playing for a legitimate championship contender, new Phoenix Suns center Shaquille O'Neal admitted Monday that, upon reading about the phenomenon of massive stellar explosions popularly known as supernovas, he is now terrified of the entire organization.
"I have emerged from my astronomical studies a much more educated man, a learned man, and yes—a frightened man. I am now a sage of the supernova," O'Neal said during a combination press conference and PowerPoint presentation at an Arizona State University lecture hall. "If I would have known being a Sun meant being a part of a system where gravity could collapse, causing my radiant celestial body to explode in an event 10 times brighter than an ordinary Phoenix Sun—or worse, dematerialize into a neutron star or possibly a black hole—I would have never agreed to the trade."

I'm Getting that Fuzzy Feeling
It happens halfway through every basketball/football season in the ACC. I get that warm, fuzzy feeling becase, evne though we're 6th in the ACC, we control our own destiny in a series of winnable games and would end up 2nd in the ACC. Who is ahead of us? Duke(8-0), UNC (6-3), Maryland (5-3), Clemson (4-3), and Virginia Tech (5-4). Who are our next four games against? Maryland, BC, Clemson, and UNC. If we win them all and UNC loses one more, then we're second in the ACC at 8-4.
That warm, fuzzy feeeling inevitably turns to disgust when we're 7-9 and I wonder how we got there.
Then the warm, fuzzy feeling returns when we're in the ACC finals. Then we lose to Duke or UNC and play in the NIT.

Good Lord am I Rooting for the Giants?
All three other teams make me ill.
Patriots - For obvious reasons.
Chargers - Because they are all mouthy dicks, and I'm sorry I really dislike P-Diddy now. I hope he plays this week and someone knocks him flat out.
Packers - I don't think I could deal the rest of my life hearing how fucking great Brett Favre is. It's like the John Elway thing. When elway was great he never won. When he turned pathetic, he all of a sudden won a Super Bowl because he had a 2000 yard rusher and a defense. And yes Dan Marino is god.

I thought of only posting this on our super secret NCSU blog, but..
Rivers is starting to embarrass me a little with his 'antics'. From the screaming at Cutler after the Broncos game to the smack talking the yahoos in Indy's dome yesterday; let it go Phil, let it go! The Bolts won both games, no need to talk! Just point to the scoreboard and the clock and let it go; I know he went to a state school and probably can't help himself, but dammit he's ours and I expect a little more from him.
And on a lighter note, tOSU's new logo:

I'm assuming the current line is favoring Pats vs. GB
Although, having at least one more chance to break out the powder blue jersey this late in the season gives me goose bumps.
My heart is tugging for a Bolts vs. Giants Superbowl, mainly to finally settle the score as to who was the better pick.
My brain, small and useless as it is for matters of gambling, is pretty certain we will be seeing Pats vs. Green Bay.
Funny aside - my spell check thinks it should be the "Superb Owl".
Funny aside #2 -- maybe this year the Sidekick & I can make the 'Uar happy by actually coming to blows, each of us girded in our team jerseys.

Put Hickson Talk Away.
David Thompson is still the best. Somehow I think that he would have probably gotten more than four points and got off more than four shots against a 1-18 team. That being said I think he's still great, but he has a long way to go and will be at State for a few years to prove it.

Disband this Blog?
Do we disband this blog or name it something else for sports related items? Dow we even have that much in terms of sports related items to talk about. Maybe 1 post a week at most.
Deee - You enjoy the orange ball game as do I. Since its the season do we rename it something more appropriate. Suggestions anyone?

Looks like Hamwich has the league wrapped up.
And the Spooner Express is #1 on the draft board for the '08/09 season!!!

When did we all join a death cult???
Fuck you, Shaktari, many armed demon goddess of dead football players.
Shawn Taylor does NOT belong on the fucking Pro-Bowl team.

Thoughts on next years FF
Now that I am skilled at the intricacies of gambling, how about, using the expected scores generated by Yahoo, we also have a pick'em every week - not a suicide league, but use that value as our spread and do the whole pride gambling thing.
Anyone? Anyone?

HOLY FUCKING SHIT!!!!
What an exciting 1st round!!!
Quick way to tell if you're staying home next weekend:
Did your quarterback score fewer than 7 point?
Express - Yes.
OTN - Yes.
MPtHv2.0 - Yes.
Looks like LL vs. SC, SH vs. GB.
Good luck.

Playoffs & First Draft Pick
Here's my guess on play off seeds (not sure why I can't wait until tomorrow whent he computer does the work):
Championship Bracket:
Sam Hamwich (7-6) at Offensive Team Name (10-3)
Must Protect This House (8-5) at Genuine Bakula (8-5)
Will Pick Randy Moss Bracket:
Lakelizards (2-11) at Voodoo Cadillac (6-7)
Spooner Express (5-8) at Smallville Crows (6-7)
Leading to the final week where we have the league championship game and the Les Robinson Invitational which determines who gets the first pick of next year's draft.
Speaking of, did we ever decide if I retain the rights to Torry Holt or if Genuine Bakula gets rights to Randy Moss (both aquired via trade)?

My season in a nutshell.
Beyond the Gimp actually outscoring EVERYONE except the person who beat him for the first six weeks -- this week will completely encapsulate what it means to be the Spooner Express over the past 7 weeks.
Anyone else in the league gets pwned on the day I luck out and get a couple of hot guys,even with Manning on the bench. Still, Drew Brees is gonna go ape shit and score....14 points.
Mother.
Fucker.
The Curse of the Forehead has been fulfilled.
**** SITE ADMIN NOTE ****
Good thing Brees decided to get 26 points in the first 3 quarters to ensure it wouldn't be another close loss for the Express. Thanks Drew.

Tiki, the Bus & Collinsworth all just agreed...
Mario Williams - correct #1 pick.
Vince "He's a winner" Young. Not so much a winner.
Reggie "Man I miss the Deuce" Bush. Not so much a winner.

This could just be selective memory
but it seems to me, that even with the wee tiny size of our league, that very rarely do we leave points on the bench. I know that I left a huge game by Gore two weeks ago, but that's not the norm. Just found that interesting, that's all.
I thought I was man enough to bench my team.
I just couldn't do it.
Good luck to everyone in the playoffs.

Appalachian Fantasies
If Appalachian State quarterback Armanti Edwards was on my team, he would've scored 71 fantasy points last night.

I give up. I'm taking a knee this week.
Good luck in the playoffs to everyone who didnt shit the bed and lose a bunch of ridiculously close games this year.
The Smallville Crows are getting a gimme.

Much like avoiding land wars in Asia
Vegas + Sports = some kind of mental overload I have never experienced before.
Yeah, I got knocked on my keister by the VC, but I believe we watched every game.
At the same time.
So, I was completely pole-axed and really had no time to be angry about Hines Ward, Tory Holt and the Bolts D.
Greatest weekend ever?

Play Off Scenarios
1) Offensive Team Name - Clinched #1 seed in playoffs
2)Sam Hamwhich - Win; or lose plus Genuine Bakula win; or lose plus mustprotectthishouse2 loss; or lose plus Genuine Bakula lose plus Genuine Bakula doesn't outscore by 49
3)Genuine Bakula - Win; or mustprotectthishouse2 lose; or lose plus Sam Hamwich lose plus outscore Sam Hamwich by 49 points
4)mustprotecthishouse2 - Win; or Genuine Bakula win
5)Voodoo Cadillac - Win
6)Spooner Express - Eliminated
7)Smallville Crows - Eliminated
8)lakelizards - Eliminated
I think we need a poll...of Sam Hamwhich, Genuine Bakula, mustprotectthishouse2, and Voodoo Cadillac, which is the most likely to miss the play offs?
My vote is Voodoo Cadillac misses the playoffs...mustprotectthishouse2 has a favorable match up and Genuine Bakula has been playing well and Randy Moss can't have three bad games in a row. And, of course, you can only expect Brett Farve and Torry Holt to shit their respective beds.

Did I Read That Right?
Assuming it's correct, and I don't know that it is, Voodoo Cady beat the Spooner Express with the oddest box score, ever. The Voodoo Cady's quarterback and running backs combined for 9 points. Hell, Kevin Jones rushed for 1 yard off 3 carries.
All I can say is that this is the kind of team I drafted...by the 8th round I had 3 wide recivers, 1 tight end, defense, and kicker.
Seriously, Rear, I'm sorry. I wish I didn't win this one because I clearly used up a season's worth of fantasy karma.
