emo Stories - Bolts From The Blue
Why I'm An Optimist
Up until the latter half of 2004, I was a pessimist. Our teams never showed direction, our players never developed, and any team with good coaching seems to negate our talent advantages with ease. It peaked with the Washington St. Holiday Bowl, a game that should've ended Greg Davis' career. It...
Get Dumped Like A Man
The sacred institution of unholy relations took one on the chin last week. Chris Applewhite got his ass dumped. The reasons were myriad, the reactions were not. Anger and sadness, unable to coexist as one new super emotion, took turns at the helm, making me look and act like a bi-polar teenager....
They All Come Tumbling Down
If we move past our normal callousness and indifference toward the shadier aspects of college athletics that we're all familiar with but choose to ignore, Wednesday's HBO Real Sports wherein they alleged a pay for play scheme at Auburn (supported by four former Auburn players) was... well......
Innocence Regained
[This is kinda meta, kinda emo, kinda I-haven't-been-able-to-watch-the-replay-of-the-game-yet, and kinda it's a Tuesday. But every now and then you have to respond to something that provokes thought. Over the last two weeks an old buddy has started posting again and a new site posted something...
James Madison 21, Virginia Tech 16: Postgame Stream of Consciousness

(A full write up on the Camp Randall Classic will be posted tomorrow. I'm still sorting through the hundred plus photos I took and trying to sort out how best to phrase some things. It was an amazing experience and tremendous game that, unfortunately, was marred by some horrible officiating at...
The Closing of the 2009 Season
The season's over in a few days and there's nothing to really write about -- minus asking where Matt Joyce and Sean Rodriguez are -- so in turn I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone for making this site what it is. When I started here three years ago I just hoped to receive a...
Of Legends and Echoes
There's something about the Michigan Notre Dame game that stirs up the butterflies in my stomach. When the game rolls around each year, I get uneasy, giddy, and nervous; even when I shouldn't. Even though I went to Michigan for undergraduate and married a Notre Dame...
