This is it, folks, the grand daddy of all college rivalries! Noted by ESPN as the greatest North American sports rivalry today, the bad blood between the University of Michigan and the Ohio State University is unequaled. This weekend marks the one hundred and sixth meeting of the two teams, in the last regular-season football game. If you don’t happen to be one who bleeds maize and blue, or scarlet and gray, now’s your chance to catch up on the rivalry that will be on the tips of everyone’s tongues this week.
Quick Facts: University of Michigan: Public research university in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Enrollment of over 50,000. Mascot is the Wolverine. Ohio State University: Public research university in Columbus, Ohio. Enrollment of over 50,000. Mascot is the Buckeye. Read More »
I’ve always wanted to play a full 18 holes of golf, but my golfing experience ends at mini-golf at Family Fun Center (which I domintiated, by the way). Even though I’ve always wanted to play, I’ve never found it terribly enticing to sit and watch a whole round of golf. Quite frankly, it’s bo-to-the-ring. I once went to a boyfriend’s golf match and I was more entertained by the golf carts and those weird little knickers everyone was wearing than by the slow moving game he was apparently losing.
With the PGA Championship going on, I’ve truly been trying to take interest in the sport, but before I know it, I’m watching reruns of One Tree Hill on Soap Net and I have no idea how or when it happened. I can’t help it, I’m smitten for Chad Michael Murray.
This got me thinking…maybe if Chad-y poo was the one golfing, I might take a little more interest. I know, I know; this makes me sound like a boy-crazed-girly-girl, but humor me here. How great would it be to see some of these guys pulling their clubs out and polishing their balls (pun entirely intended). Read More »
[There are some women out there that we just can’t get out of our minds. No, we aren’t switching teams - yet - but we do have some serious crushes on somepretty fierce females. These ladies are all special in their own right and we aren’t ashamed to tell the world we love them.]
This past Monday, season five of Weeds premiered on Showtime and reminded me of one of my biggest girl crushes – Mary-Louise Parker – who plays the sassy, snappy California soccer mom turned rebellious drug-dealer on the television mega-hit. Beautiful, talented and unafraid to show off her stuff (Parker posed nude in advertisements for the third season in 2007 and appeared naked in a bathtub in the season 4 finale… not bad for 46 years old!), Mary-Louise has come a long way from her hometown of Fort Jackson, South Carolina.
In addition to earning acclaim as Nancy Botwin, Weeds’s pot-pushing, Mexican-border-hopping protagonist, Parker has demonstrated that she is well suited for the stage. In 2001, she won a Tony award for her Broadway performance in Proof (which was then turned into a movie and snatched up by Gwyneth Paltrow), and she received both a Golden Globe and an Emmy for her work in the HBO miniseries Angels in America. MLP added to her Emmy tally, and added a Screen Actors Guild Award to her resume, for her guest performances on seasons three through seven of the political drama, The West Wing. Read More »
So, tonight is the big BCS National Championship between the Oklahoma Sooners and the Florida Gators. Who is gonna win? I don’t care; I just wanted a good excuse to drink on a Thursday. And eat wings. And dip. And wear sweats to the bar.
Anyways, in honor of this major match-up, we at CC decided to have our own championship. We come from the school of thought that the hotter the QB, the better the team. Just think about USC and, at one time, Michigan. Hot, hot, hot.
So, tell us: based on the hotties quarterbacks, who is gonna win tonight?
I admit, I’m one of those people who watch the Super Bowl mostly for the commercials (although this year, I almost shed a tear when my New England Pats choked at the end…NH pride, baby!), and while advertisers were mildly funny yesterday, there were really only a few commercials stood out for me.
One featured Justin Timberlake getting his ass kicked. Now, I’ve never really been JT’s biggest fan; I don’t find him that attractive, I’m not really into his music, and sometimes I think he comes off kinda self-involved…but I gotta hand it to the guy: the more he acts, the better I like him.
Also, who isn’t into watching someone getting hit in the nuts not once, not twice, but three times?!
Thanks a lot Borat and Coach Joseph, but we still don’t understand what a two-point conversion or a punt return is.
(That's actually my high school...Imagine having Coach Jo as a World History teacher.)
Anyway, its that time of year. Super Bowl parties! We want to be there for the food, commercials, and booze, but what is this football business going on in the middle of all that? Sitting through a football game, clueless as to what’s going on is roughly equivalent to conversational Farsi.
Growing up in a devout Texas football town, I will tell you that it takes years for the fairer sex to pick up the hundreds of rules and terms, as we have spent most of football season gossiping in the stands. I've gone and written out some of the more important ones that will help you follow the game and impress the boys. Guys think you are SO rad if you’re actually into football, but until you prove yourself, you'll be treated as a spy. Read More »
