Quick Thoughts 12/3

  • We were bowling with some friends last night, and I wound up rolling the highest three game series of my life. 177, 203, and 178 for a 558 series. Not too shabby, especially considering it was that crazy black light bowling, and we were next to some kids who had zero bowling etiquette.
  • That reminds me of one of my first 200+ games of my life. I was on a date in high school and we went bowling. She was getting about a 50 and I ended up with 201. I really felt awful.
  • Hey the Bears won the NFC North today. Congratulations to "the pride an joy of Illinois."
  • That was one ugly game today.
  • I'm still supporting Rex Grossman, but he's really making it difficult for me to do so. I really don't know why he keeps trying to force the deep ball. It really is getting to be maddening.
  • Whoever thought Brian Urlacher was over-rated must have been on crack. I swear he is in on every tackle. It's a pretty safe bet that no other Bears will be wearing #54 in the future.
  • It was apparent to me today how good Brad Maynard, the Bears' punter is. The Vikings' punter had a few shanks, but Maynard was a picture of consistency. It's the little things like punting that can really make a difference in a game. Dan, I know you've always appreciated Maynard too.
  • Iowa gets to play Texas in the Alamo Bowl. That's not going to be pretty Hawkeye fans.

I thought I was watching a High School game today.... it wasn't enjoyable to watch for either fans. Rex is horrible - I predict he's the reason they can't win the Super Bowl. And the Vikings punter was probably the only player more pathetic than Rex all day.

Looks like you scored big on your high school date!! Did the scoring continue after bowling?

Hook 'em Horns.
