Something a little different..Oh..and there's something about Homecoming!!

Aight guys....I know I've been slipping...But ALL of the reasons for the slippage are relevant.

- New job in sports industry..and it's definitely got me working overtime

- I have also been writing at merchantsonsports.com for a couple of weeks now, which I have also been slipping on...

- Lastly, and more importantly, Homecoming was the weekend before last (10.18) and I'm still re-cooping from that ish.

But since yall couldn't be there...SO...insert yourself in these pics and I know you'll be feeling good. The weather was in the mid 80's for the game( and the drinky-drank, and bb-q between the half was on pointe)...me and my girls went to our favorite hibachi restaurant afterwards..and did waaaaaaayyyyy too much that night. But, keep in mind that Homecoming comes around only once a year...so we definitely did it big since we alumna and all.


We are some of your most fun Homecoming moments..now, post-graduate, and all you can possibly tell me! Oh, by the way #9 O-State beat Baylor during Homecoming 34-6. I hopefully, I be doing a little bit better on updating my blog.

Sports..Did You know the WNBA Championship was on last night??

Man, I'm feeling kind of disappointed and robbed because I had no idea that the WNBA championship game was on last night. No commercials, no marketing, nothing. How is any league supposed to grow if you don't even publicize the Championship?? I mean, WTH? Anyways this is how it went down.

The Detroit Shock won their third WBA championship in a 76-60 win against the San Antonio Silver Stars in a dynamic completed a three-game sweep.

Detroit became the second team in league history to win a third championship. Only the Houston Comets, who won the first four (1997-2000), have more. Los Angeles (2001, 2002) is the only other team with more than one. It was an especially sweet win for the Shock, who let the 2007 title slip away, losing Game 5 at The Palace to the Phoenix Mercury.


The game was tight for three quarters with San Antonio leading by six on several occasions. But the veteran Shock were too much to take in the fourth with the title on the line. The Shock enjoyed a 49-45 lead after three periods. A pair of free throws by McWilliams-Franklin less than a minute later gave the Shock their first double-digit lead of the game.



The Shock had been one of the league's best teams for much of the year, but sputtered a bit after losing top post player Cheryl Ford to a season-ending knee injury in July.
But a trade for the veteran McWilliams-Franklin over the Olympic break was just what Detroit needed.

After a night of celebrating, the Shock have a date with the new mayor of Detroit, Ken Cockrel Jr., who will honor the team at a downtown celebration at this afternoon.


I'm About It All Facts:

• The Katie Smith was the MVP of the game with 18 points, 6 rebounds, and 1 assist.

• The Shock completed the first three-game WNBA Finals sweep in league history.

• Detroit is the third team in league history to win the championship without home-court advantage.

• The Shock's three titles are the second-most all-time (Houston has four), and their 27 playoff wins are tied for the most all-time with Los Angeles.

See all the video highlights Here.

Oh and congratulations ladies you deserve that and more!!

Intellect..And the Results are in..

Okay the results are in from last night's debate between the V-P candidates. I personally thought that after the first half of the debate there was no way Palin could win because she didn't do the one essential part the the debate: Answer the Questions!!

So, I gave the win to Biden and apparently so did everyone else according too CNN poll results.

51 percent say Democratic Sen. Joe Biden wins vice presidential debate.

Republican Gov. Sarah Palin exceeds expectations, 84 percent say.

Palin beats Biden on likability, 54-36.

87 percent say Biden is qualified for job, 42 percent say Palin is.

What did you think? Hit me up and let me know.

Sports..My Alma Mater is back in the Ranks..

What a difference a year makes.

My alma mater Oklahoma State is riding high with a 4-0 record and is one of six Big 12 teams to be ranked this week. An explosive offense that has hung 50 points on each of its last three opponents is bringing back memories of previous Cowboy teams when Barry Sanders was here 20 years ago after a 55-24 rout of Troy last week.

"I would say winning gives everybody a good feeling," Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy said. "When the guys are walking on campus, I would guess that people are telling them they are playing well. I imagine they are feeling pretty good about themselves."

Only a year ago, the prospects for the program weren't nearly as bright. The Cowboys limped home after a loss to Troy in quarterback Zac Robinson's first career start. The residue of discontent sparked Gundy's infamous rant after beating Texas Tech in their conference opener.

Fast forward a year later and it's much quieter around Stillwater. Their 21 spot national ranking -- their first since Gundy took over in 2005 -- is a milestone of sorts for the program as we head into our Big 12 opener Saturday night against Texas A&M.

new players have come along who might give them more firepower than last season. RB Kendall Hunter ranks third nationally with an average of 154.5 rushing yards per game and has a capable backup in Keith Toston, who has run for 100 yards in each of his last two games. The Cowboys lead the nation in rushing, rank third in scoring and are fourth in total offense.

Dez Bryant has developed into a key receiving threat who has already snagged six touchdown receptions, including three last week against Troy. These guys have truly taken some pressure off Robinson, who finds he doesn't have to be as big a part of the offense as when he rushed for 847 yards last season.

I can't predict how the rest of the season for Oklahoma State will turnout, we have four opponents so far have a combined record of 6-11. And play all four of the Big 12 teams ranked in the top seven nationally. Ultimately, I really think we can hold our own right now.

The Cowboys will be looking for revenge against Texas A&M, which has posted a pair of one-point victories against us in the last two seasons. The Aggies escaped with a tight overtime victory in Stillwater in 2006 when an Oklahoma State extra point was blocked, the loss at College Station last season after squandering a 17-0 halftime lead.

For the first time in Gundy's coaching tenure, we'll have a settled quarterback situation this week against the Aggies with Robinson in charge. I feeling great, and look forward to the rest of a really exciting season.

Sports.. Lil' Wayne Blog Post #2

Okay, so if you don't know by now, Lil Wayne now has a blog on ESPN, because he's a sports fnanatic. I read the first one, it was aight, but the second one I actually found entertaining and got some laughs from. Here is some of his excerpts from his post..

ON NFL: Now on to Brett Favre. He must know God's phone number, 'cause he is
superhuman. Like, Brett Farve? Come on. He's like 3900 years old and he threw
for six touchdowns? He's never even done that in his whole career. And he does
it with the Jets when no one is expecting nothing from him.

ON Sundays: I'm gonna watch the baseball games today at my house. On Sundays, I
pretty much don't leave my house until after all the games are over, and then I
go into the studio. I have five TVs in my house and we have like 85 TVs in the
studio, and all of them will be on different sports.

ON his Fantasy Football Team: I won my fantasy football match-up this week, by
the way. I slayed 'em 79-43. I'm 3-1 now. They still don't know it's me, even
though I use my real name, Dwayne Carter, on there. Even if there's a guy who
knows who I am, he's probably looking at that and going, yeah, whatever.

I mean for one of the first times ever Lil Wayne is not sounding like he got a cup of syrup in his hand. *Claps and Snaps for that*. What do you think though? Hit me up and let me know.

You can find his whole blog and post HERE.

Something a little different..Student wins 12 milli!

The credit crisis and tight student budgets hold no fears for a British teenager who won 7 million pounds ($12.68 million) on the Lottery.

Ianthe Fullagar, 18, from Cumbria, northern England, said she still plans to go to university next year to study law, despite her huge win on the EuroMillions game. Although she won't need a student loan or inflated overdraft, she said she hopes to be just like the others at college.

"I'm going to live the life of a student. I'm going to live in student digs," she told the BBC on Tuesday. "I love baked beans."

She hid her winning ticket in her bra before moving it to a jewelry box and then her gym bag while she waited for her win to be confirmed. After receiving an over-sized check at an official ceremony, she said she plans to spend her winnings on her family and friends and a new Ford Ka.
This kind of story makes me happy that a student won the lottery but obviously slight jealous that it wasn't me. Which bring to mind, if you won 12 mil what would you do with it?

Me, school loans, grad school, house, savings, and tithes. (Not necesarily in that order)
