A Pesky Predicament

After about a three week hiatus that finished out my Christmas break and began the year 2012, I finally thought of something that I really want to write to you all about.

The last week has been engulfed with classes and a new schedule signaling the beginning of a new quarter. I must say that I am looking forward to this quarter quite a bit due to a bit lighter of a course load as well as the simple fact that it is basketball season. Although classes are still classes, I think I'll be willing to deal with it all a bit better because I'll have basketball games both to attend and to watch on television, in addition to being able to play a bit of club and intramural ball. Life is good from that aspect.

Aside from it making me a happier man because it is indeed my favorite sport, the game is causing a bit of a predicament for this upcoming Sunday.

The Buckeye basketball team (I'm not going to get into the performance that the Buckeye football team pained us with-you all should know why) plays in a big time top ten Big Ten showdown with Indiana looking to avenge their second loss of the season. Tip is at 4:30 pm EST and I couldn't be more excited about it. Except for the fact that Green Bay plays at literally the exact same time against the New York Giants. I am struggling to make a decision about whether or not to skip the Buckeye game and watch my team, or go to the game and if either it or the Packer game gets out of the game (that be that they are trailing) leave to come home and watch it.

After sleeping on it for a night, I think that what I have decided to do is attend the Buckeye game, donning both my Aaron Rodgers jersey and cheesehead as well as my BuckNuts pants. Yes, I'm aware that I will not match in any sense of the word, but because of my fandom I am not afraid to say that I do not care. Nor will it matter to me if you judge me. I'm just hella pumped that I will get to watch my favorite NFL team hopefully beat the Giants.

That's really all I wanted to talk about this eve, because I both have basketball practice in an hour and the national championship is on TV. Even though I really do not care about this game because it is essentially an SEC championship game over again. But then again wait, LSU is the SEC champs. Alabama is not. But they still get to play in the title game. Makes sense.

Proud Buckeye and Sports Enthusiast,

Those People Who Mr. Goodell Call 'Officials'

Hmph. That about sums about the way I feel about the National Football League at the moment. So does the rest of America, or so it seems. I guess it is a good move on my part that I did not write this post last night around midnight after I saw this happen to my beloved Green Bay Packers on Monday Night Football. The fact that this blatantly awful call was on national television amplifies the situation more than people realize. Through the first three weeks of this NFL season, it is no secret that the gentlemen (and lady in one instance) that NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell hired to work this season until the regulars get their labor situation figured out with the owners of all 32 franchises in league are just embarrassing. These officials have consistently made bad call after bad call (just YouTube NFL replacement refs bad calls and you will be able to waste a solid amount of time at work or in class shaking your head) and I think we all were just sitting around and waiting f...

My First Legal Drinking Age Post

Hello everybody, and welcome to this, my first blog post as a legal American Drinker. As some of you know, my 21st birthday indeed was yesterday, and even though this was really the only thing I had to drink last night, I still had an awesome day. While I'm assuming all of you will shake your head at me about the Smirnoff Ice, let me explain myself first. I was able to switch shifts with some of my co-workers so I could have Wednesday (my birthday) off. As a result of this, I took advantage of being old enough to drink alcohol on Tuesday night/Wednesday morning. I'm told I had a great time, and surely hope that was the case because of the state my body was in yesterday. The day was rough but I suppose that's how you are meant to felt on your 21st birthday. The reasoning for the Smirnoff Ice being one of a few drinks I had yesterday is this: as is tradition at 137 East Frambes Ave. (better known as the "Incinerator") anytime it is someone's birthday and/o...

Another Realization

As I finally have found some time to sit down and write a bit (work is simply sucking my summer away from me), I can't help but mention the man who in a way sort of inspired me to start this blog in the first place, Mark Titus. He, as I'm sure many of you know is the founder of Club Trillion (you can follow his blog if you want-I do) and has christened this week Nut Up or Shut Up Week because he is doing his best to post on his blog once a day. I mention this because since my own personal blog is called the "Daily Segs" one would figure that I would post on here every single day, and for a while I did do that. During spring quarter was when I began this little beauty and vowed to write every day. I have since gotten away from that for a number of reasons. The easiest one to blame it on is the fact that I'm working 40+ hours a week at a distribution center and after leaving there it is either really late or I am exhausted or both. But the main reason (it pains me t...
