  • In a weird twist of fate, I wish that the Chargers were in contention to land Peyton Manning.
  • Survivor was extremely frustrating to watch last night.  Never in my life did I want HD to be so real that I could literally punch someone’s face on the other side.  I’m speaking to you, Colton, you narrow-minded uncultured elitist jerk.
  • Speaking of Survivor, a few seasons ago Eddie George’s wife was a contestant.  Recently he was in the passenger seat of an attractive female golf pro that was pulled over and arrested for DUI.
  • There’s something about AngiesList.com that I don’t trust.  I know the intent of paying weeds out fake or over-exaggerated reviews, but there’s something about it that makes me raise an eye-brow.
  • WifeGeeding started to count the number of words that DaughterGeeding knows, I think the count is somewhere around fifty-five.
  • None of the surviving members of the Monkees will attend Davie Jones’ funeral.  They are afraid their presence will ruin the service for his family.  I think that’s some true friendship and must be hard for all of them to not attend.
  • We got a birth announcement in the mail, and the picture of the baby had the umbilical cord still attached. I’m thinking they should have used pictures without that scabby looking thing.
  • While flipping channels last night, we landed on the Texas version of Storage Wars.  It was interesting to see a show about the area I live in, but it was a bit shocking to see former Cowboy Roy Williams (the one that’s a biscuit shy of being a line-backer) actually be part of one of the shows.  In one segment, one guy actually drove to Tyler to get a gun appraisal.
  • Scientists aren’t sure the color pink actually exists.
  • The new iPad is heavier and thicker, but has fancier graphics.  I think Apple can sell a turd in a box and people will still camp out.

  • The Republicans are where I was back in 2004.  My vote for Kerry was more a vote against Dubya than it was for Kerry.  I don’t think the Republicans have a candidate they really want to support, they just want to get Obama out of office.

Female kicker Mo Isom gets tryout for LSU football team

BATON ROUGE – Morlan “Mo” Isom is not your typical homecoming queen. She is as serious about becoming a kicker on the LSU football team as a kick in the face.

Isom, a star goalkeeper on the LSU soccer team from 2008-11, became the first female student-athlete to be named LSU’s homecoming queen last fall. Now she wants to be LSU’s first female football player. She went through a walk-on tryout with other prospective kickers Tuesday during the Tigers’ spring drills.

“People’s first presumption about this is that it’s a media stunt or some attempt for attention and glory,” Isom said in an interview with Gannett Tuesday night. “That couldn’t be any farther from the truth. I feel it was a goal God placed in my heart. It’s just something I want to do.”

This part stood out:

Isom, who is six feet tall, kicked a 51-yard field goal on the LSU practice field while working on her own with LSU kickers Brad Wing and Drew Alleman last August.

Here’s a video of her on the soccer field showing her leg strength – a 90-yard goal.
