Voting and Bowling

But, Will it do any Good?

New Hampshire votes tomorrow. Obama and McCain seem to be leading. Could we really get two pretty attractive candidates? That’ll seem like the millennium. It seems too soon, but here we are, like it or not, already deep into another national election. Those two make me hopeful...but then I realize that in the end they’ll just have to deal with Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid.

Bowling with the Bear

Murphy and I are going to settle in for the football game this evening. We’re ready to cook up a half dozen of the Bear’s Buffalo Wings (I don't need any more weight here, so that’ll be enough.)

Will the 2008 Allstate BCS National Championship Game from New Orleans’ Superdome be worth watching. Probably. There are plenty of story lines here. The good stuff includes Ohio State’s defense and LSU’s offense. On the list of the not-so-good there’s a suspect LSU defense and an anemic Ohio State offense.

Then there’s Ohio State’s odds-defying bowling record against the South Eastern Conference. Zero, zip, nada...and eight. My Suthren friends are fond of quoting such things. In that regard it’s too bad it’s not Michigan out there, they’re a pretty good 7-3 bowling against the same conference, and an impressive 23-5-1 in regular season games.
