Day 3 of the Natty Diaries takes us deep into that place where souls are crushed and forever damaged.
Click Tales: Off On The Pond
The blog is undergoing an identity crisis. Having accepted a job offer in Portland, Off The Pond no longer seems to be a fitting name.
News is slowing down before the big week, so just a few links. Be sure to win the year today and say goodbye to twenty ten.
ClickTales: Dang school gettin’ in the way of the fools’ ball game
Hey, did you catch that performance by Arizona last night? Way to rep it Stoops! What is that, about 69-10 against the Big 12 in the last two bowl games for the Wildcats? Yikes. Can’t wait to see what Washington does for an encore tonight. I have to strongly disagree with one writer’s contention that [...]
Click Tales: Oregon’s outlier title run
You know what you can get me for Christmas this year? Absolutely nothing. Oregon’s already playing for a national title and I gots me a ticket. Anything else would just be greed at the highest, most nefarious level.
Click Tales: Football, sure, but these links have a sweet gift idea
The last five days have been, by a wide margin, the least football-filled since…forever, I guess. I’m just now getting caught up and am finding that, uh, it’s all pretty much the same.
Click Tales: Yeah, there are links, but also a personal tale of happiness
Before the links, a short story from last night.
The room was dark. Light had forgotten how to work its way into the room I hadn’t left in days. I’d given up shaving, was still wearing the same clothes from last Thursday and was eating only thanks to a feeding tube. It was stage 5 no-Natty ticket depression. Heavy stuff, to be sure. And then, with the surprise of a Jake Locker completion, my phone rings.
Click Tales: There are new uniforms and they are, meh, mostly the same.
These are some slow, boring days. But just think what it’ll be like after Jan. 11. Even worse. At this point, I’m actually looking forward to Ohio vs. Troy on Saturday.
Click Tales: Big Ten, let me be direct, that’s a terrible idea.
OTP’s back on the grind, yo (and whiter than evuh). We gots some links to kick off the week and then it’s time to dive in to this whole Auburn-Oregon thang. Oh, and later today, I’m launching a new feature on the site and I’m excited about it. You may not be, but I am [...]
Click Tales: The turf the turf the turf is on fire. Oh, and Auburn is getting on my nerves
Before we get to the links, who’s ready for the “Grandnatty of them all? That’s right, forget you Rose Bowl. If you “like” that page, you’ll be compensated $200,000. Go ahead, try it.
Click Tales: Calling Captain Awesome. Can you do something about those Corso head thiefs?
The SEC’s greatest player ever, a head is found, the BCS is still a joke and you can change your name to Captain Awesome.
