Upset Specials and Uncle Pete, what is a MILF?

Hi there. Happy Friday. Upset specials kick off this entry and you get 3 for price of 2. 2 college and 1 pro. First the college. Heading to beautiful Chestnut Hill in Boston Mass where the BC Eagles play the VaTech Hokies in the house that Doug Flutie built. The ACC is down overall this year, (although Miami had a nice win last night over Pitt) and in the game BC is a home underdog to Frank Beamers boys. Eagles win. The other college upset special comes to us from the alma mater of one Eli Manning. The Ole Miss Rebels taking on Fresno State. The Bulldogs are like Boise State in the fact they're not afraid to take on anybody at anyplace. Like the Bulldogs in a mild upset. Now for the pro. This may not seem like much of an upset but in the battle of Texas, go with the Cowboys over the Texans on the road in Houston.
Other stuff. I almost had a heart attack yesterday morning when I heard Pete utter the term MILF on the air when I filled in for Dan who was on his way to the doctor. He almost killed two of us at the same time. Good thing Dave Thomas wasn't listening, he might have had the hat trick! The best part was Pete really didn't know what it meant! The other thing that was racing through my mind at the time was hearing the news story about how Katy Perry was apparently wearing something a little too inappropriate on a Sesame Street segment with Elmo. Parents were upset. The dirty, raunchy, sarcastic side of me was in 5th gear thinking of stuff. Brilliant stuff I might add.
Last nights "The Big Bang Theory" season premiere was fall off the couch histerical. Could they either move it back to Monday nights or flip flop it with TJ Hookers' new show so it doesn't conflict with "Community" on NBC?
I forgot to mention this Monday, but Saturday morning it was really neet seeing all those people lined up down Glen Street wrapping itself around Oakland Street near the bridge waiting on line to buy tickets for the BYU/Vermont basketball game in December. You know this will be a sell-out. I find it hard to believe that Jimmer Fredette's dad Al had to wait online to get more tickets. Why is everyone so upset with Joe Torre? He goes Mike Francessa's afternoon talk show on WFAN and was asked about the Mets manager job. His reply was that he would be curious if the job became available. How is that insulting to Jerry Manuel?
This weeks sign of the apocalypse. Keanu Reeves said he would like to make another sequel to "Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure." No, anything but that. I can picture it now. Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter are back as the Wild Stallions in "Bill and Ted Bury Rufus!" Personally, I'd rather see a sequel to "The Replacements."
I don't like writing or discussing politics in the "Greenhouse Effect" but "Real Time" with Bill Maher is one funny show even without all the political discussion.
So Wednesday morning I go to try again for the upteenth time to make friends with the weights and take "Body Pump" at the gym I work out at. It was sunny when I got there. Little did I know that while class was going on, the heavens opened up and their was a rain shower. No confirmation that a level of H-E-double hockey sticks froze as well.
Busy weekend ahead. Football games Friday night and Saturday afternoon on the Mighty 1450, then Sunday remotes in Schuylerville and Warrensburg. See you around...Leccese out.
