Songs and the Presidential Candidates
Saturday, May 3rd, 2008On a lighter note, I am wondering what kind of songs do you think describe the presidential candidates? Here are my suggestions for the Democrats:
Barack Obama
“Pocketful of Sunshine” by Natasha Bettingfield. I heard this on American Idol. How utopian can you get? The lyrics certainly fit the nirvana feeling his supporters feel. Creepy? Oh yeah.
“Cult […]
Weekend wrap-up
Sunday, November 11th, 2007Quite the weekend in college football. Many members of the CRNC National Board possess passionate allegiances to a school. So, who’s happy and who’s not with the results this weekend?
Unhappy: Us. Don’t even think of making a Buckeye joke.
Happy: Daniel Swanson, Oklahoma state chairman. Oklahoma is looking strong. Win the Big 12, and they might […]
Patriots win!
Sunday, November 4th, 2007My Super Bowl pick lives on, still undefeated.
Big week up here in New England, with the Red Sox crowned World Champions and the Celtics starting off the season with a solid victory.
It’s a great time to be a sports fan in the Northeast!
“Come after me! I’m a man!”
Tuesday, September 25th, 2007Oklahoma State football coach Mike Gundy, on the media.
Are you ready for some football?
Thursday, September 6th, 2007In honor of the kickoff of the NFL season, the CR Nation staff gathered to predict who would win the Super Bowl.
Cement Mixer: San Diego Chargers
Sage: New Orleans Saints
Rawhide: New England Patriots
CR Nation & Punchbowl: Cleveland Browns (They can dream of hometown glory, can’t they?)
Col. school bans tag
Thursday, August 30th, 2007An elementary school has banned tag on its playground after some children complained they were harassed or chased against their will.
Why?
“It causes a lot of conflict on the playground,” said Cindy Fesgen, assistant principal of the Discovery Canyon Campus school.
Kids are still allowed to run, just without a purpose. When a second grader can’t […]
Culture Shock
Friday, August 17th, 2007The winner. Tiger Woods is golden, winning his 13th professional major tournament with ease last weekend. “The Golden Bear,” Jack Nicklaus, better enjoy his all-time majors record while he still has it.
The criminals. Former NBA referee Tim Donaghy pleaded guilty to two counts of fraud, and soon-to-be-former NFL player Michael Vick’s lawyers are “in negotiations,” […]
Culture Shock
Friday, August 10th, 2007There is a new home run king. Finally. If I hear the number 756 one more time… Lesson learned: Cheating is wrong.*
Tiger is the same old Tiger. At the Bridgestone Invitational last week, Tiger Woods entered the final round down by a stroke to Rory Sabbatini, a no-name with a big mouth. Sabbatini made the […]
Culture Shock Rock
Friday, August 3rd, 2007“Signed, Sealed, Delivered I’m Yours.” The Boston Celtics landed superstar Kevin Garnett in a blockbuster trade. Here’s how prominent Celtics fan (moonlighting as an ESPN columnist) Bill Simmons reacted on the racial balance of his favorite team: “Black guys do want to play in Boston — as long as it’s for a playoff contender and […]
Culture Shock
Friday, July 27th, 2007It took me a week to figure out that “Barry Burn” was a reference to hazards at the 17th and 18th holes of the British Open and not to a medical condition suffered by MLB Commissioner Bud Selig as a result of the Bonds home run chase.
Speaking of home runs, Sports Illustrated’s John Donovan had […]
