NIKE WAKE UP CALL!

http://69.20.126.52/index.php

Dudes! Check out the link above. My roomate got the link from the Sports Guy's daily links page on Page 2. If you click on the link you can type in your phone number or somebody elses and that person will get a recorded wake up call from A-Rod, Maria Sharapova, Amare Stoudamire, Justin Gatlin or a few other nerds that I have never heard of.

I got a wake up call for my roomate this morning from Maria Sharapova and he said that the recording said:

"Hi, this is Maria Sharapova and this is your wake up call. Do you want me to call back in 5 minutes? Well, I'm not going to, get your ass out of bed!"

I scheduled a few other wake up calls for friends but haven't heard from them yet today. It's fun.

DISCLAIMER: If it is some sort of virus or puts your phone number on some telemarketer's list I take no responsibility for it.

Random Pictures.

The very first photo is a classic I found on my computer: My buddy Rog making out with some girl we met at a party while Mac G is hugging her. That was a crazy night this fall. I believe the night ended with Mac G taking her home and Rog falling asleep with his head in his fries at the Hawk n' Dove.

Here are some random photos from the last couple weeks that I have not posted. Please note, I am humping the Penn State Nittany Lion.

Pop Quiz: What is the name of the Penn State Nittany Lion's mascot?
Answer: NITTANY LION. Are you kidding me? They don't even give it a name? That dumb Nittany Lion gets mentioned in Capital One Mascot Challenge and it doesn't even have a name?

Email from Mac G: This Guy is DC's Best Kept Secret.

This is an email my buddy Adam (MAC G) sent me. The dude should have his own radio show, a) because his extensive knowledge of sports, specifically all things Hawkeye (because it took him 6 years to graduate) and b) because he doesn't stop talking.

Backhanded compliment meter: 100%

Here is the email, I hope you think it is as funny as I do:

No one can mention Chris Kingsbury's name without me elaborating in further detail, Not even Hogie could live up to the IC legend of Chris Kingsbury, I mean no one can, its impossible, He is a once in a generation college player. Think a slow white Lebron, with a kegorator fridge of PBR, constant flow of whiskey and trees, and someone who is open to shoot once they cross halfcourt. Its extraordinary ability to close down every IC bar Mon-Sat, chain smoke Reds out of season, lites in season, and still be able to bomb 35 footers. Name me someone that could have done that on a regular basis, exactly, no one. Maybe that skier Bode Miller could come close if he played hoops. Here are 2 my favorite, "Where Are they Now?", articles about Kingsburry, I love the quotes. Oh and Happy Fn FRYday. adam

"To be honest with you, I remember nothing about my junior year," Kingsbury said. "It's kind of just gone in my memory. I remember a lot about my sophomore year and I could probably tell you 90 percent of the plays in every game from that year.

Kingsbury is still bitter over the way he was treated following his arrest. He also claims that somebody else urinated in the lobby.

"I was 21 and it was before the season had started," Kingsbury said. "I basically got arrested because of who I was."

"I was in Italy when everything changed," Kingsbury said. "I quit (drinking) completely. But now I'll have beers once in awhile.

"But I just can't do it. There's no time for it. I can't go out. Everything is just a lot more serious."

Erocks Toy and New Computer Desk

Money Man Schmooke is with Erocks new toy and I decided Erock needed to change his computer desk to more of a contemporay look. The desk was straight and in more of a square shape until I used my new design techniques of falling in to it and creating this newly shaped desk. Good work Erock, keep it up.

Road Trip: Crappy Valley

I'm going to State College, PA this weekend to watch our Hawks take on the Penn State Nittany Lions. Keep and eye out for Roger (pictured above) and me, we will be the only 2 Hawks fans in arena. That's actually a pretty good ratio because Penn State has an arena that holds 20,000 but they only draw 14 people/game, 8 of them are the Crispin family.

ESPN is doing a story on Iowa's basketball team that will be airing later this month and I intend to be on it. This is my only shot at getting on Sportscenter unless I get knocked out by Ron Artest which I am not willing to do. We are going to the game with a bunch of Penn State fans so I am hoping the ESPN camera's will come up to our section and ask us how far we traveled to come to this game, to which I will respond: "I am willing to travel as far as I need to in order to see Steve Alford's haircut in person." He has had the same hairdo since he was a guard at Indiana. What a nerd.

Seriously, I am gonna get on Sportscenter. Conference USA Blows.
