So i've been reading different articles around the sports o sphere and i'm pretty much blown away by the utter crap i'm seeing. According to CNNSI's Andy Staples, "the disputed call is all anyone will want to talk about this week."

so i done did it. i entered myself in a hot wing eating contest . if i win the prelim round i'm in tonight, then i go to the finals which is the day of the North Texas game. (thankfully we now know the kickoff time, and the contest is like 5 hours after kickoff, so i'm clear) i have been chewing 4 pieces of gum at a time while at work for the last week. (stopped 2 days ago, jaw was sore, isn't any longer. i may have actually built muscle, awesome idn't it)

so i put too much oil in my "Craftsman 6.75 HP Eager-1 OHV" lawnmower last week. she was running fine for the front yard, then started actin up in the backyard and eventually stopped runnin. She'd start for a second or two, then die. So i asked around and realized i put too much oil in (and ran it w/ too much oil inside, for at least 20 minutes, which brings us to problem # 2)

sorry to post such a lame and self centered topic, but it's an off week so cut me some slack aight?! please....

my wife told me she was going to buy me a 360, but was at the store and the sales guy started to explain about all the add ons it'll need if she bought the $199 "arcade" 360. she got despondent and just told me " i was going to buy this for you, but i'm afraid what i'll buy wont work or be the right version. sorry to ruin the suprise"

so anyway i have been researching more, seems to me the 360 "arcade" sucks ass, and costs an additional 160 bucks if you want to add a modem and harddrive. plus the xbox live service costs money, playstation network is supposedly free for sports games (90 % of what it's going to be used for is NCAA football, the other 10 % GTA and maybe a soccer game....if it has a Blue Ray player, thats a whole nother thing i can use it for)

so what do ya'll know-feel about the xbox360 vs PS3 deal? i'm leaning towards the PS3 simply because 400 bucks gets you a hard drive, wireless modem, free online multplayer gameplay, and a Bue Ray player. and it's roughly the same cost to do w/ a 360, but the online gameplay has a subscription fee, and no blue ray player. also i haven't read as many horror stories about dieing PS3's or them causing damage to discs like w/ 360.....(and i'm currently using a 6 year old PS2 that runs like a champ)

my #1 priority though, is gameplay for EA Sports NCAA Football. (thats why a wii is out of the question) so please guys, let me know if you've tried the game on one or both of the systems, and any important things to note about which platform is better.

i'm pretty sure that utah's coach wittingham used to be one of urban meyers coordinators  and from what i know of them, they run a similar looking offense (with three key distinctions; tebow, athletes, meyer). so to kind of piggyback onto the bonus of extra practices because of the bowl game, we get added time working on defending the spread-option-gun or whatever it is.

i think the next few seasons could turn out to be like the early 90's where (cept we're going to win most of the SECCG's this time round) the west and east are pretty much dominated by us and florida. so any added time spent prepping to play assignment defense is time well spent.

maybe saban can get paul johnson to agree to a spring scrimmage (and bury the hatchet between the two schools, thus allowing us to resume our tradition of pounding the  yellowjackets every fall)
