Southern Ohio Texas Hold'em Event

I found this on the local sports radio station website, 1360 Homer.

Texas Hold'em Events...Southern Ohio Texas Hold'em Event.

$25,000 guarantee is nice for a $70 buy-in, but there isn't any idea the number of players and with unlimited rebuys...doesn't really feel like my cup of tea. I might consider playing just to have a large tournament experience under my belt. Also, I was the United Way coordinator last year for my work and this benefits UW. Like I said, I may think about playing.

No SI Jinx!

I hope Griffey doesn't get injured now. He is this week's cover story for Sports Illustrated. If you are a subscriber, you can view the story.

Please hit 500 soon Grif! Congrats on a wonderful season so far. It is great to see you back in form!

Don't Touch Thad Matta

I really really really dislike Ohio State. The firing of Jim O'Brien was a complete shock and he was the last coach I would ever suspect of cheating. Also, how in the fuck can Ohio State have this screw up and fire the basketball coach, but still allow Jim Tressel to be at the helm with all the off-field problems his team has had is unbelievable. Maurice Clarett is simply the topping on the cake. The punter who was arrrested two or three times in the first two weeks at school is another example. I don't understand it....oh yeah I do....OSU football delivered a National Title a couple years back and is still playing well. That generates money. Basketball wasn't playing well at all lately. Goodbye O'Brien.

Disclaimer...I am not condoning what O'Brien did. I just believe that OSU has problems with football that they need to address too.

Finally, the ESPN report says that Andy Geiger, OSU Athletic Director, will pursue Xavier's Thad Matta and NC State's Herb Sendek. Now, I love Thad Matta and I certainly don't want to see him go to OSU. Although, if he does, OSU will be getting one hell of a coach and staff. I'll keep my fingers crossed because I believe XU will have a hell of run again this upcoming season.

Jay Is Bitter

Jay Love Can't Stand the Unabomber

In his latest column, Lovinger seems to be a little upset by the play of Phil Laak, the Unabomber. Now Jay is quite older than Phil and may not understand him. These columns are getting more bitter by the week.

The one bright spot of this week's column is below.

The last celeb to be eliminated -- in 11th place -- was Dave Foley, who, I cheerfully admit, I have never heard of, though hipper friends tell me he is a comedian/actor who was in "The Kids in the Hall" and "NewsRadio." Though I have no idea how gifted an artist he might actually be, his response to being the last celeb standing was, I thought, instructive: He attributed his fine showing to the fact that he didn't know what he was doing and so nobody else could figure out what he was doing, either.

Funny part is that I knew who he was talking about before I saw the photo. Dave was very funny in Kids In The Hall.

New Look

I simply got tired of the other look and wanted to change. I do that from time to time. Even though I believe only 3 or 4 people look at this thing, I was frustrated that I couldn't view any comments while I was at work (when I do receive them). The new layout allows for that...at least until work decides to block blogger again.

I should just learn HTML and creat my own site, but blogger makes this too easy. Glad I copied the previous template so I didn't have to retype all the links and poker blogs into the new template. That saved me a lot of time!

Hope everyone enjoys.
