Weezer - Pork & Beans

So Weezer has a new album (the Red Album) coming out on June 3. You can listen to "Pork & Beans", one of the singles from their new album that they've recently released at their website - http://www.weezer.com. Pork & Beans is as close to the Blue Album style that we've heard in a while from Weezer. I'm excited for Album #6. They still hold the top spot among my all time favorite bands.

Travis

Travis' teacher told Allison when she picked him up from school today that Travis had his best day that he's ever had. I decided to take him out on a daddy-son night out to reward him for having such a good day at school. We went to Steak-n-Shake together. Travis requested that he listen to his favorite song on the way there, Weird Al's "The Saga Begins". It's the song that follows the tune of Don McLean's classic "American Pie" but instead follows the story line of Star Wars Episode I. Travis thinks it is so
funny when it says "Maybe Vader someday later now he's just a small fry."














Here is a hilarious YouTube video with Lego guys set to the tune of Weird Al's "The Saga Begins":

Oh Kinsey, Kinsey

Last week Allison and I went to lunch together with Kinsey (Travis was in school). On the way back to drop me off at the office, Kinsey fell asleep in the car. I looked back there and this is what I saw:



She apparently had taken her socks off of her feet, put them on her arms, and then fell asleep. Oh, and by the way, I took this photo with my new BlackBerry Curve that has a 2 Megapixel camera on it. I was quite impressed with the quality of the picture, considering it came from a phone. At the highest resolution it churns out 1600x1200 pictures. This one was resized to 480x360, so you can't get the full effect of the quality of it. Anyway...socks off to Kinsey for giving us another laugh.

Truck Commercial

Ok, this has got to be one of the worst truck commercials ever made. It will definitely make you laugh, though. What's even funnier is that another truck dealer nearby made it's own commercial making fun of it.
Bad commercial:


Commercial making fun of the bad commercial:

Mike Gundy Coors Light commercial

The Mike Gundy rant is old new now, but if you haven't read about it or watched his post game meltdown, you really should. Some guys made a fake Coors Light commercial that is absolutely hilarioius. It won't be funny unless you watch the actual Mike Gundy rant first. Here is the order to watch things in:
1. Read the article by Jenni Carlson of the Oklahoman:

2. Watch the post game meltdown by Mike Gundy

3. Watch the fake Coors Light commercial on Youtube:

Travis' rendition of The Eyes of Texas

Travis sang his rendition of "The Eyes of Texas" while riding in the car. We're still working on the few very minor pitch problems. He's really proud of himself, as are we of him...check it out:

More undefeates drop / BCS Mess

Four more undefeateds fell by the wayside this weekend, the biggest surprise being #1 USC to unranked Stanford. Wisconsin lost to then unranked Illinois, Kentucky lost to South Carolina and Purdue lost to Ohio State.

11 Undefeated Teams Left
#1 LSU
#2 California
#3 Ohio State
#4 Boston College
#5 South Florida
#11 Missouri
#13 Arizona State
#16 Hawaii
#17 Cincinnati
#20 Kansas
Unranked Connecticut (plays 5-1 Virginia this week)

As far as the Red River Shootout goes, even though Texas lost, they sure put up a good fight - a lot more than anyone expected them to. If it weren't for the two turnovers, I think Texas would have had a very good chance to pull out the victory. I also don't understand why Florida wasted almost 30 seconds at the end of the game by waiting until the play clock was almost down to zero, then calling a time out. That could have been the difference in giving them enough time to drive back down the field and try to answer LSU's late touchdown. I can't believe LSU was 5-5 on 4th down conversion towards the end of the game. That truly was a great game.

Personally, I hope there are no undefeated teams at the end of this year. It would be great to have 5-10 one loss teams. I think the BCS crap needs to stop and we need some sort of playoff system like every other college sport has. Even division II-A football has a playoff system! Why can't division I-A have one? I don't think it would take at all away from the regular season - it would be just as exciting. Can you imagine college football playoffs?
