Poor showing from Cougars
Sunday, August 31, 2008
Well, at least the Cougars were able to find their way into the end zone a couple of times. Losing 39-13 is bad enough, but more concerning is the way the team did it. You can usually count on the Cougars to have a solid passing performance if nothing else. However, senior QB Gary Rogers struggled the [...]
Brink doesn’t make cut
Sunday, August 31, 2008
Former WSU quarterback Alex Brink’s tenure with the Houston Texans was a short one after he got cut earlier this weekend. The Texans drafted Brink in the 7th round of the draft in March, but he failed to impress the coaching staff enough to warrant a roster spot behind Matt Schaub and Sage Rosenfels. In the preseason, [...]
Vobora a Ram
Saturday, August 30, 2008
It looks like David Vobora has made the cut and will be a member of the St. Louis Rams. The St. Louis Dispatch listed the players who were cut and Vobora’s name was not on the list, so it looks like Mr. Irrelevant has a chance to do something in the world of the NFL.
Vandal volleyball and soccer
Saturday, August 30, 2008
Right now most folks in Vandal Nation are waiting for the Idaho vs. Arizona game to begin. I just wanted you all to know that the Idaho volleyball team went 1-1 at the Middle Tennessee State volleyball tournament on Friday. They lost 3-1 to Middle Tennessee State in the opener but beat South Dakota State in [...]
Chasing Sarah Palin
Friday, August 29, 2008
It’s been an interesting morning around the newsroom. The announcement that UI grad Sarah Palin was getting tabbed as the vice presidential nominee for John McCain sent folks scurrying before they even arrived for work. Coincidentally, one of our reporters had been trying to get an interview with the Alaska governor and 1987 broadcast journalism grad [...]
Light and Delicious
Friday, August 29, 2008
I am making every effort to “eat sensibly” after being diagnosed as diabetic a few months ago. To that end, I am trying to cut down on sugars and use as many fat-free products as possible. One treat I find satisfying is sugar-free Jell-O puddings slathered with Cool Whip Lite toppings. I opened a [...]
Labor Day Barbecue
Thursday, August 28, 2008
The upcoming three day holiday weekend may be one of the last opportunities to enjoy an outdoor barbecue this season. Whether you decide on steaks, ribs, or hamburgers, there is nothing to equal the aroma of meat sizzling on a grill. Such thoughts reminded me of a cookbook I received at a bridal shower that [...]
Silverwood Adventure
Wednesday, August 27, 2008
In a last-ditch effort to preserve summer, the family took a trip to SilverwoodTheme Park Sunday. I’m happy to say the kids had a great time and Mom and Dad survived. Heck, we even had a good time, too. Silverwood (about 15 miles north of CdA) is by no means a cheap date, but the variety of rides and size of the [...]
Tasty Tomatoes
Wednesday, August 27, 2008
The season is about over for tomatoes, a fact that makes me sad. There is nothing that equals the taste of a tomato freshly picked from the vine. You might have guessed, tomatoes are my favorite garden vegetable. My neighbor Sam, who always shares his produce, had a bounty crop of tomatoes in his [...]
