MSU is doomed

Lee Corso just complimented the team during College Gameday.

Pseudonymous Coward

I got up early this morning to drop my car off at the shop (both rear windows are broken this time!). Since getting back, I've spent... it looks like two hours now browsing around the web waiting for myself to wake up.

While browsing, I happened across a bug-report-turned-forum-thread regarding Android's UI rendering performance and it has me incensed. I considered stepping in and berating most of the commenters, but I was afraid that if I did, it would make the thread even more painful to read. Instead, I am going to voice my complaints on my blog because... well, it's a blog.

If you have a problem with a computer system, file a bug report for the problem. Don't make screaming demands for a specific solution. The developers won't like your request and you probably won't be happy with their response.

No, don't go Ducks

About a month ago, I complained about Michigan State's alternate uniforms and compared them to what I remembered Oregon's uniforms looking like a couple years ago.

Before tonight's game against UCLA, ESPN showed some of the Oregon players warming up. I assumed that they were wearing semi-throw-away, warm-up-only jerseys that would be replaced by their real uniforms during the game.

Oh, dear.

Things that were in my garbage yesterday night

  • Banana peel.
  • Two-week-old half-onion.
  • Quart of pot roast stock, with leavings.
  • Dead bird.

Thank you, Lou Holtz

On Denard Robinson:

Can you imagine how many yards he'd put up if he got to go against his own defense?

Can they say that?

Remember my complaints about CBS's announcers not knowing when their mics were active during online broadcasts? While half-watching the Lions game just now, I looked up after the return from a commercial break and heard one of the announcers say, "They'll rip his head off and pour beer down the corpse."

Was that another mic gaffe, or do sports announcers have that much leeway with their language these days? I don't necessarily mind if those are words that you can say on television now, but I do like keep my knowledge of what is and isn't permissible up to date.
