Draft Prospects, Great Weekends, Bachelor Parties, and some advice

CS Weekly Update: Issue #3

Wow, time sure flies as it seems like I just wrote last weeks column.  This week has been a very busy week and once again I didn’t get to fixing the LSAs, sorry Ursus (check). I celebrated my 28th birthday, went camping and fishing and had all sorts of fun… wait… this article isn’t about me, ok… back on track.

Yesterday marked the beginning of the 2010 NFL Football draft and as always, it’s kind of exciting to see some FCS players that we have watched grow through their college careers make it to the next level.  Here is a great thread on FCS Prospects and some great conversations as well.  Did any of your FCS Players get drafted? (yes, that is a question and you can answer it by commenting on this article). This was about the only “worthwhile” subject on football this week so I am going to skip right into the important issues.

Our good friend AZGrizFan had an amazing weekend with the Goddess [insert picture here from sod party at ElbowRoom in Missoula, Montana during the Lumberjack Challenge in 2008].  They went to L.A. for their anniversary and saw the Eagles live in concert, had some great food, uber quickies, and spent some time with some “famous” people.  We were all quite jealous of your weekend so hats off to you “the most interesting man of the weekend”.

Our boy Mr. danefan is trying to plan a bachelor party and what better place to ask for advice than CS, home of many BFLs, aka bachelors for life.  I’m sure if this party included the likes of D1B, capt’n, appaholic, dback, and UNH it would be quite the party.  Dane is wanting the party to be at a beach type scene away from gambling (props to your for following your boys wishes).  The only issue I see is that it is on the east coast which knocks down the quality of the party a few notches (WCB).  Check out the thread, gets some laughs, reminisce on the memories of past parties and maybe offer some advice.  Either way, it appears its on track for a good time.

Another interesting topic this week was SunCoastBlueHen asking for advice from the “sages” which makes it interesting in itself, the fact that he thinks this place contains sages, but I won’t get on the subject of SCBH being higher than appa in the 80’s while standing at the highest point on the east coast. SCBH has a daddy day care issue where mr. daddy of another daughter is making “indirect” moves on Mrs. SCBH disguising it as “kid play time”.  Although members of CS may not be sages, there is some pretty darn good advice given in this thread, mainly kicking the guy to the curb and claiming Mrs. SCBH once again.  Go get em Hen!

A recap of the POW (Posters of the Week): “That ODU guy” also known as Trip, or Co Co Co or ∞∞∞ won the Humorous (or as grizo put it funny) poster of the week award.  The political poster of the week award wasn’t even worth mentioning since only 5 votes were submitted but OL FU won 3 to 2.  Ursus claims the Homo of the week award by a landslide so congrats!  Look for a better managed POW next week as Ursus has taken the reigns.  Maybe we should make this an official thing… hmmmm.

In other news… Grizo (check) was OWNED by a waitress from Pfalls in Missoula, Montana and clenz was outed as a true “Iowegen” but we all still know… IOWA ROCKS.

Rule Changes, UD, Iowa, Facebook and LSAs

CS Weekly Update: Issue #2

This has been another very busy week with lots of controversy on many differing subjects and I will  summarize a few of them below.

On Thursday the NCAA adopted three new rules. 1) players are not allowed to have any symbols or messages on their eye black starting in the 2010 season.  2) wedge-blocking formations of three or more players by the receiving team on kickoffs has been banned for the 2010 season and 3) players will now be penalized for unsportsmanlike conduct as a live-ball foul beginning with the 2011 season. These new rules come with both approval and protests from users across the country.  The most debated rule would be #2 as to what is acceptable taunting and celebration.  Many don’t believe that refs have the ability to make proper judgement… unless of course the penalty is on the opposing team, or any team in the CAA for that matter. WCB

In other news, the NCAA denied Deaware’s TE Josh Baker a 6th year of eligibility.  He was injured in the first quarter of the first game in the 2009 season which ended his season and now it is apparent that it also ended his college career.  My question to you all is… how many fricking years does it take for a CAA football player to graduate?  6 Years?  Really?  All kidding aside (no offense to you Mr. Baker) this just shows that the NCAA is starting to sway to the west. WCB

Iowa… what can I say about Iowa?  Actually, what can’t I saw about Iowa.  Iowa has been the most discussed topic as of late and I am starting to learn just how bad ass that state is.  I mean they have flying fireballs, hailstorms that could take out a small country (excluding Iowa), a sub par football team and don’t forget the Austin Powers missile silo with attached pig trough.  They even have a “mature discussion” thread on the subject, which happens to be the only official mature topic on this entire site.  I’m sure it is soon to be hijacked by a JMU poster soon, oh wait… it was started by one, $#%&.  The only thing Iowa doesn’t have is Willie, and he is one bad ass MoFo.

Facebook rarily makes it to CS (most users on this site can’t figure it out) but when it does, it can be quite the interesting conversational topic.  This weeks facebook topic was asking whether or not andy7171 should add one of his lacrosse players’s mom on facebook and stalk her.  This turned into many demands for pictures which then brought out more facebook mommies from Towson and was quite a treat for all. It was like a trip down memory lane for the 2 people that know where Towson is.  We did get to see a picture of what she looked looked like in the 80’s but have yet to see a recent one so the judgement is still out. andy7171 did end up adding her, which makes his brother andysbrother7070 very happy as he can now…

The last but not least and hugely debated and overly controversial topic is LSAs.  You might be asking what the heck LSAs are?  Well, LSAs are Left Side Avatars (AKA Left Side Profiles) on the topic pages.  It seems that a few (Ursus, dback and DJH, not to name names) can’t seem to grasp the concept of having the information on the left with the pictures on the right.  As of right now, LSAs do not work but we are hard at work *cough* (camping, drinking, fishing, partying) *cough* trying to get these things fixed so please be patient.  If you don’t give a rats ass which side the avatars are on then please ignore this topic and continue on.

This just in, Alpha has a best friend (no homo… or is it?)
