Chad Vader, Day Shift Manager

Go to YouTube and look up Chad Vader (he has a famous older brother). Funny Stuff.

College football yesterday was not good to me. Notre Dame was bad. Really bad. Brady Quinn looked nervous, and his poor play seemed to rub off on the whole team. No excuses from me. Michigan came in pumped up and absolutely took it to a scared Irish team. I still think we can bounce back and end up in a BCS bowl, but Michigan State next week is no cake walk, and if we come out flat again it could be a long night in East Lansing.

My other boys the Oklahoma Sooners, atleast kept their game close but still came up short against the Ducks of Oregon. Ducks. Honestly it must seriously suck to lose to a team called the Ducks.

Auburn's win over LSU was big. With Notre Dame now out of the National Title picture I'm really pulling for the Auburn Tigers to end up in the championship game hopefully against Ohio State. Auburn should have made the title game a few years back, but the BCS system snubbed them. Hopefully they can get their revenge this year.

Other thoughts: None of the Florida teams are that good. FSU is garbage, Miami is probably gonna end up firing coach Larry Coker, and Florida was lucky to get past Tennessee (who I was really hoping would win).
USC just might get through the season undefeated again and I will probably throw up. The one bright spot is that the team is under investigation over Reggie Bush allegedly accepting money and gifts during the 2004 season. The team could lose their 2004 National Championship (which would then go to Oklahoma?), and Bush could lose last years Heisman (which would go to Vince Young).

In Poker news the WPT event at the Borgata is down to 69 players. My buddy Gary Wise is doing live blogging for the event and you can read his updates at www.worldpokertour.com

And finally for anyone that's hear from the Pipe Band world, the BBC aired a program on the world championships the first weekend of September. You can view all the pieces here http://www.bbc.co.uk/scotland/musicscotland/wpbc2006/

Kickoff!!!!!

A new season of the NFL kicks off tonight, and I am definitely pumped. Ben "Hamburgler" is injured for the Steelers, so I'm predicting a Dolphins win under new QB Daunte Culpepper.

There's gonna be a contest today. A possibility exists that by this time next year I may be running a Comic Book store. What every good Comic store needs is a good name. So, lets have some suggestions. Best name wins a prize.

As I said the other day, I've been downloading a lot of music from artists I heard a lot of over the summer. I've decided to list some of the stuff, so that you's out there can have a listen for yourself.
Good Stuff:
The Kooks- Naive (also find the version by Lily Allen. It's awesome).
Lily Allen- Smile, Alfie, LDN (three great songs. Plus she's really cute).
Nerina Pallot- Damascus, Idaho, Patience, Sophia, Everybody's gone to War (this might not be everybody's cup of tea, but I think she rocks. And she's cute.)
Regina Spektor- Us (I love this song).
Jose Gonzalez- Heartbeats
The Kaiser Chiefs- I Predict a Riot (rock out!)
Nina Simone- Ain't got no I got Life (old school).
Scissor Sisters- I Don't feel like Dancing (Disco Fever)
The Streets- Fit but you know it, Dry your eyes mate, Never went to Church
The Zutons- Valerie
The Automatic- Monster (also find the cover of Gold Digger. Amazing)

Just a heads up for everyone, Saturday is a big day for College football. My team, Notre Dame is at home to another team I always rooted for Penn State, and later on my 2nd favourite team #1 Ohio State, travels to Austin to play #2 Texas. Should be one heck of a day.
Bizzle Out.

The Return

Hello my dedicated audience of, oh I don't know, 10? The summer's journey is over and I'm now back in the M.Dot. With new Cogeco internet instaleld today, I'm back in the 21st century, and ready to attempt to keep my blog up to the standards set by Mikey, and Jav. I spent today trying to get myself reaquainted to the wonderous thing that is the "Information Super Highway" (name coined by future US President Al Gore). Some work was done on my myspace site, adding some pictures from the summer (site can be found at www.myspace.com/gbizzle13). Also, I finally got to download some music! Baywatch Theme, and Sexy Back, welcome to the iPod. If you're into British Pop/Rock check out the Kooks. Good stuff. Finally has everyone heard the Killers new song? It took me a few listens to come around, but now I love it. Anyway, that's me for right now. Just about to head out with the Baron to head to TS's (ha, I'm like Javed). Bizzle Back. (that should be a song, "I'm bringing Bizzle Back").
