Sayonara, Cougs...

Well, it's official, this will be TCU's last year playing Utah and BYU... BYU has made the ever so wise decision to go independent in football and joining the WCC, formerly WAC(?). So, yes, once again, TCU has been screwed over by conference realignment. However, BYU plays on our turf for their last game against us as members of the MWC and I can guarantee Andy Dalton and our boys will be handing them their asses at the end of the game as a lovely parting gift.

Hey, College GameDay, please come back to TCU for this game.

Day Fourteen

Day 14 - A TV show I'm currently obsessed with

If this had been two, almost three, weeks ago, this would easily be answered with So You Think You Can Dance. However, season 7 has ended and I'm in TV show limbo waiting for the fall season to start. When fall starts though, I'll be obsessed with a number of shows: Glee, Greek, The Big Bang Theory, The Office, and then of course Keeping Up with the Kardashians started last Sunday, and I can't pass up E! Reality shows... unless it's the Spin Crowd - I can't stand Jonathan Cheban.

New shows I'm looking forward to are: My Generation, Outsourced, and $#!* My Dad Says.

Now to wait for September to get here... Late September that is.

Nike Pro-Combat 2010

So, because TCU is amazing and Nike loves us, we're one of four teams and the only Texas team to get Nike Pro-Combat uniforms this football season. Last year's theme was Don't Back Down. According to this poster preview this season's theme is Til Hell Freezes.

Day Thirteen

Day 13 - Who's your favorite musician and why?

I don't have a single favorite. I like WAY too many, but off the top of my head:

Lady Gaga - As if I didn't like her enough, her concert solidified her as one of the best musicians and performers ever. She puts on the best shows, never stops going, and does whatever she can for her fans! She's amazing.
The Killers - I absolutely love Brandon Flowers and co. They're great. They also put on a really good show. Flowers' voice doesn't sound like it'd be the best live, but they sound just like the recordings, but obviously they were live.
Coldplay - Does this one really need an explanation? they're awesome. They're music is great for almost any situation and emotion.
Muse - A newer love of mine. Their music seems to change every album and the lead singer is an amazing piano player as noted in "Butterflies and Hurricanes."
Britney Spears - I've pretty much loved her since "Baby Hit Me One More Time." She has evolved so much and despite the crazy period, she's still amazingly successful! I'd love to have seen her in concert last year when she came through, but she was more than Gaga was.

Hilarity

There's a new website in our lives thee days: Total Frat Move.

In light of TCU football (and college football in general) kicking off in 7 days, here's a TFM for you.

When picking up TCU-Oregon state tickets, gdi started bitching about how I was picking up 100 tickets. Turned to him and said "sorry I have more friends than you." TFM.
