The Ultimate Week of Sports
We’re one game in to the World Series and sadly the biggest highlight of game one after the blowout scoring was the exchange between Coco Crisp and Royce Clayton discussing the rules of Taco Bell’s Steal-A-Base-Steal-A-Taco promotion [link]. Clayton, who has made upwards of 4.5 million dollars a year to play baseball, took issue with the Taco Bell promotion wondering why he couldn’t continuously visit the dozens of Taco Bell franchises in the Boston area and say “I haven’t gotten my free taco.” Similarly, he informed millions of fat pig shits of how to milk the area Taco Bells for all their 69 cent goodness.
Then tonight we have Virginia Tech and Boston College. Boston College has somehow crept in to the BCS #2… personally I think its an attempt by the media to get bandwagon Catholics to watch a team with Jesus on the line other than the abysmal Fighting Irish. Boston College is rolling in to Blacksburg on a Thursday night after VT has had week off, student tickets are going for 100 bucks online, the TEK barn is hosting a Halloween DJ party, Backstreets is offering 2-for-1 pizza subs… its total suicide. I can’t really predict a score, I have heard we are favored by 3 points, so I think if I HAD to predict a result I would say Virginia Tech: 129, Boston College: Injuries.
Friday is a trip to Cedar Point where there are 17 roller coasters - more than anywhere else in the world (though some look like bullshit scooby doo 1940’s crap). Roller coasters aren’t really a sport, not even an extreme one, but when you go up 450 feet and come back down in a period of 7 seconds you have done some really wacky physics defying shit and I think that should count as more of a sport than a MLS game.
Then this weekend is PSU v OSU - Holy shit holy shit holy shit - BCS Number 1 coming in to Beaver? JoePa? Big10 marquee matchup of the year (maybe decade) and on Saturday night - 8pm kickoff under the lights? I’m a student, I can join the screaming PSU faithful with my senior student ticket. This could be the greatest win in Penn State History! Yeah, I sold that shit for $160.
Sunday we will attempt to devour the World’s Largest Hamburger at Denney’s belly buster burger [link] and fail worse than the Redskins will against Tom Brady. Tom Brady has actually made a comment that he will be playing the game alone with his number borne in to his chest with a dull pocket knife and ink from a bic pen.
Kickoff is at 7:30.
