2008 Tentative Schedule Released
Tue Apr 29, 2008 2:06 pm EDT

The schedule is ready and the travel plans are coming together.
38 games not including Bowl games are on tap for Season II of the Ultimate Football Challenge. I've learned a lot from Season I and Season II will be 100 times better.

2007 was a crazy year with many memorable moments, the double header which was the last trip of season 1, did me in unfortunatly.

My latest personal hurdle
Thu Oct 18, 2007 5:36 am EDT

I figured it was time to give some insight on what's been going on in my life.
After the Lansing/Boulder excursion, I had a little trip to the doctor and he confirmed my worst fears. I was advised that I should pack it up for the season and get healthy.

A few years ago, yours truly underwent brain surgery on a tumor, though not as successful as my family would have wanted there's a possibility if i didn't slow down my travel that Round 2 would be coming sooner than later.

E.Lansing and Boulder in the same day
Tue Sep 18, 2007 4:23 pm EDT

I parked the car a mile from the Spartan Stadium, the fans walking together through the middle of campus wearing their green and white was uplifting. I left behind a very cloudy wet New York for the cool partly sunny skies of East Lansing, Michigan.

59 degrees is the perfect temperature for a game and I was taking it in thinking about life, the game and of course Debbie Gibson playing on my Ipod! Yes Deborah Gibson the late 80’s sensation that in a new millennium way is the classier version of Brittany Spears, Ouch!

Double Header Saturday
Sat Sep 15, 2007 5:30 am EDT

It's early here at LGA in New York City. I'm waiting for the boarding call to get out to Michigan State. Today it's supposed to be White Out conditions for a second week in a row.
Last week Penn State made it look like it was November with their Penn State White Out! Not to be confused with the Phoenix Coyotes who seem to have an issue with Penn State and the use of their trademarked phrase. Ouch....

What is this the mid 90's with the moniker "Refuse 2 Lose" which was coined by former Umass coach and now U of Memphis coach John Calipari. The Mariners after coming back down 0-2 to the Yankees used the phrase when they were 4 games from going to the World Series.

Clemson, SC

It was a perfect day for football, a Nationally Televised game, Labor Day, the start of a new season and the end of Week 1 with a marquee ACC battle between Florida State and Clemson. When I arrived at Clemson I took a drive around campus, it was approximately 11am and the Tiger faithful along with some Seminole die hards where already hard at work setting up their camps for an entire day of tailgating.
