Back From a Sabbatical

My god, that week was one in 1,104. Four midterms kept my nose in the books Saturday through Wednesday, which was followed by a stomach virus that kept my nose in the toilet Wednesday through Saturday. But no worries, I am back from the dead, enjoying my slenderized body and heightened intellectual status after finally learning how to spell "diarrhea"
I'm writing from Stankowski Field, where the temperature is warm, the ladies are instinctively flocking to the track, Savage Garden is blaring out of AEPi, and Jorts jut took a base on a balk...in whiffleball. I figured I'd get out and enjoy the weather before March rears its Liony head. Seems like everyone else is too. Plenty of football and soccer balls flying around, but it seems that the start of spring training has given the kind folks of Columbia baseball fever (to which the only prescription is more cowbell)--as the first Spring games of catch have officially commenced. On that note, I'll tell you that an AL/NL preview is due, but for now Ima check out and just leave you with some basketball players acting stupid. Hooray.

Watch what happens when Zach Randolph tries to get crossed! Gut busting!


Oops! Lamar Odom forgets to pass the ball in bounds! What was he thinking?? Knee slapping!


I like all teams equally, I swear.


You must have the strength of a condor to watch this video in its entirety. Or you can just fast-forward to 4:55.
