Dead Week Friday

Despite it being the week before finals, today was actually quite interesting...

Expired fire extinguishers = reason to burn stuff

We had a lot of fun this afternoon burning a few things thanks to a few fire extinguishers around the BCM that had expired :D The aftermath is pictured below:


Lady Jackets beat UGAy Lady Dogs

UGAy fans must be really upset now. Six days after beating the football dogs on the gridiron, and for only the 3rd time in 31 tries, the Lady Jackets beat the Lady Dogs in basketball tonight at the Thrillerdome 57-42. However, those three W's have all come in the last seven years, a testament that program is headed in the right direction (we also got the school's first NCAA Women's Bball Tourney invite in 06(?)).


Center Street Christmas

This year marks round three of Center Street Christmas (it'll be my last one). We started early tonight with some movies and gingerbread cookies. Tomorrow morning we'll be doing secret santa with everyone, should be lots of fun (again). It makes me sad that this is my last Christmas at Tech. The previous three have been a lot of fun, there's no doubt about that. Those times have reminded me that Christmas isn't about the gifts, but being with the people you love.

Championship Weekend Predictions

Bama vs. UF: No one's giving the Tide a chance, which is why I think they win. They've been underappreciated all year, "winning games they shouldn't have won", whereas UF's opponents haven't been on the same planet as the Gators (except for the Fighting Nutts). There's a reason you don't lose a single regular season games, so Saban and the boys must be doin something right. Tide win 28-24.

BC vs. Virginia State: IMO, neither of the best teams in the respective divisions are represented in Tampa tomorrow. I think everyone wishes it could be a rematch of Tech and F$U. But I digress...BC is without senior QB Chris Crane, who broke a collarbone a couple weeks ago against Wake. Now QB Dominique Davis will be making his second career start ever - against the 6th best defense in the country. BC's defense will force a few TOs, but it won't be enough with no offense (yes, even less than the chokies). VPI wins 17-13.
