Greatest time of year

Can you feel that? You know. The electricity in the air that preceeds football season. I can feel it. I crave it. It is only a few more weeks until the OSU football season kicks off and the Browns have their first pre-season game tonight. Shit yeah!

I'm sure the Browns will probably suck this year, maybe pulling out an 8 and 8 record. I wish they would get better, but it just never seems to happen. It is the bane of being a Cleveland sports fan. One think I wish they would figure out is what the hell they are doing with two potential starting QBs. Anderson has done well the past few year, but the Browns used their first round draft pick to grab Brady Quinn a while back. Now, he is sitting on the bench getting paid a ton to be a 2nd stringer. WTF?

The Buckeyes are picked to have a good year in the Big Ten. I see them being dominant in the league until their trip to Happy Valley. Penn State always makes me nervous. The REAL road bump in this upcoming season will be when USC comes to town. I fear that this game could get ugly unless OSU's offense will be able to match USC's production. We will have a lot of young players on defense. The offense should be good if the young recievers starting this year can step it up. Prior will have a TON of weight on his soulders to make things happen.

On a side note, my bowling league starts in less than a month. WOO HOO!!! I caught myself looking at bowling balls on the web. I don't need one, I just like looking at what's new out there. Our league merged with another league this year, so now we have 20 teams instead of 12. It shoud be interesting to see how things work out with the new teams and bigger league. Personally, my main goal (beyond winning) is maintaining a 200+ average. I bowl a few games here and there over the summer with mixed results. I tried two different bowling alleys near my house and did terrible at on and OK at the other. Last week I bowled at my normal bowling house and rolled a 204 and 216.

Zombies Zombies Zombies!

What can I say? I love killing zombies. Well, Xbox zombies, at least. If I saw a real zombie, I would probably pee myself. Anyway, I think I can say, with a great deal of honesty, that I could play the Call of Duty World at War zombie levels for the rest of my Xboxing days. The first zombie level was OK: a small map with limited weapons. The second was much more fun: a bigger map with more challenges, more weapons, traps, and player perks. The third was even more fun with even more weapons (Wonder Waffe), more traps, and more challenges. A new zombie level came out for COD WAW last week and it is AWESOME WICKED FUN!!! It is also wicked hard, but that is OK. The map is huge and there are even MORE weapons, traps, and challenges. Then add a teleporter, a weapons upgrade machine, and exploding monkeys, and you get GREAT good times. Yes, I said exploding monkeys. I played last night with a group of online people and had loads of fun. I had a Wonder Waffe (lightening gun) and a ray gun (both updraged to more powerful weapons with bigger clips) and exploding monkeys. They look like wind up monkeys that play the cymbals, but they attract the zombies and then blow up. Wicked fun. We did really well until I ran out of ammo. The Wonder Waffe shoots a bolt of electricity and if you hit a zombie, it spreads to all of the zombies around it. It is great for groups, but not so much for individual zombies. That is where the ray gun comes in handy. I can't wait to play again. The WAW people could make a complete zombie game and I would be happy beyond belief.
