Energyville
Check out this fun little "game" from The Economist Group and Chevron. My high score is 665,000,000 ish. Can you beat me?
Fire And Passion
Coach Gundy of Ok. St. is showing the kind of fire and passion I was talking about in my previous entry. Check our here for more of a background explanation on this tirade.

Disappointed with Aggies!
Well, I'm mad. I'm mad that Texas A&M (under Coach Fran) can't pass. Can't win a big game. The Thursday's night loss against Miami was just another horrible loss that Coach Fran can add to his belt. Its hard for me to understand why. He's supposedly has top recruiting classes every year.
Coach Fran's contract goes until 2012 so getting rid of him might be more expense than is tolerable for the A&M Athletic Department. So what to do? When I look across the college football landscape the programs that seem to be resurgent or dominant are led by young energetic coaches (Oklahoma, Alabama, LSU, Florida, USC). The ones that are struggling are led by old (some might say more experienced?) coaches (Michigan, Florida State, Texas A&M). Coach Fran seems to lack that young/energetic element on his staff. Since we can't get rid of Fran my hope is that we fire Les Koenning, offensive coordinator, and the entire offensive staff. My ideal staff would we one that incorporates the modern spread offense, because lets face it, that offense works. Just look at Appalachian State, Texas Tech, and Florida.
Well, my rant is over. I've aired my grievances. My hope is that we win the rest of our home games (4-0, with a win against Texas) and go 2-2 on the road. That would give us a 9-3 record. But, after seeing A&M struggle against Fresno State and Miami, we could easily finish the season at 6-6 or worse if we catch Baylor or Kansas on a good day.
Even if we land at 9-3, which is great lets remember why we (collective) got rid of RC Solcum. We were "tired" of those 8/9 win seasons, hovering around a #25 ranking. Supposedly, RC couldn't win the big game. Well, in my opinion, we're staring right down the barrel of a similar problem with Fran.
Well, lets see what happens. The future starts next weekend against Baylor....

Just call me McLovin'
Ok, I know I said "Knocked Up" was the funniest movie ever. Ok, well I was wrong. "SuperBad" is by far the funnest movie I've ever seen.
So many good things!
So I've been very delinquent in my blog updates. Here's some of the latest news. I hope to add more explanation later. But here's the overview.
In July we went to a SF giants game. It was while Barry Bonds had tied the home run record. He could of broke it while we were there. Instead he had a couple doubles. He hit the record breaking home run later the next week. Wish we could have been there. Check out our clothes. Believe it not it was July!
Next was our birthday celebration week in August. We both made special cakes for each other. Kristen got Coach shoes and Coach sunglasses. I got an Xbox 360 and the game "NCAA 2008 College Football."
Next over Labor Day weekend, we were invited by our friends Matt and Tifanie to tag along while they had some college friends here for a wine country trip. We went to some new (to us) wineries that really rocked. We hit 7 wineries in 10 hrs. The last picture kinda sums up the day...
Also, I got a new car!!! A Saab 2.0T convertiable. It rocks! I'll take some pictures soon I promise.
Then a long lost friend, Jim Bob LaFleur and his girlfriend came to San Fran for the weekend. It was great to see him and his girlfriend. They really seem to have things going in the right direction!
