After finishing the year at 12-1, that Sugar Bowl loss is still an *ouch* btw =\, he's now being offered an opportunity at Southern Methodist University. The pay at ~$2 mill + money for assistants is certainly better... and the facilities over there are better as well ( Read more... )

They'll knock you right off your feet onto the ground.

Heh, so yeah, I made it to the Mad Caddies show on Friday. Good stuff. Golfcart Rebllion opened for them and they were pretty awesome themselves. Shizzle, I wish I had a camera or something with me to take vid/pics.

Yeah, so I got those books that I mentioned previously. Only read one of them so far though. XD I started working more and stuff so I don't have as much free time for other things.

Alrighty, here's my Jaiku page. Jaiku is one of those microblogging sites, like Twitter and Pownce. I first heard about Jaiku from Scoble.
