Knee Update

Well, as some of you may or may not have known, back in the third week of September I began a Half Marathon training program. I was successfully able to complete the first six weeks before I had some knee trouble. Unfortunately for me it was the same knee that I had surgically repaired last year after tearing my left ACL.

I began having a good amount of swelling and fluid build up on my knee at the surgical incision site. I took last week off of running and visited the doctor on Thursday for a check-up. They could see there was a bit of an infection at the incision site and gave me some antibiotics to combat that and set me up with a follow-up appointment for Monday (yesterday).

Two Percenters

Two PercentersThe picture to the left is a screen capture I took from Yahoo!’s College Pick’Em Pick Distribution chart for Week 8. So I guess this is what the Texas A&M folk are always talking about when they call people “2%-ers.”

Helmet Head

Texas TechZach just sent me the most awesome Div-IA football schedule I have ever seen. Well, to tell you the truth I’ve seen it before, in previous years to project those schedules, but it’s been a while. By no means am I or Zach taking credit for this, I just thought it was really cool. It has the most current picture of the team’s helmet to represent themselves on another team’s schedule. There are worksheets for all the major conferences: ACC, Big East, Big 10-leven, Big 12, C-USA, Independent (i.e. Notre Dame, etc.), MAC, Mountain West, Pac 10, SEC, Sun Belt, and WAC. It also has a worksheet for Games of the Week with each time slots match up. Here’s the link: 2007 college football schedule.xls. May it drain many a color laser printer it’s toner.

It Comes Full Circle

New Year's 2007Here comes the yearly recap with dates and other happenings interspersed:

Jan. 1, 2006 - The year was started off right in The Woodlands, Texas with a small peck on the cheek from Ms. Katie Horecka at midnight… My first New Year’s midnight kiss… Joseph B. proposed to Melanie (I included this because I saw the ring before Melanie did).

Jan. 21 - I took Katie on our first date.

Feb. - I got my first dog, named Max… Unfortunately I was not able to keep him. He wasn’t a big fan of staying in my backyard and would get loose on a near daily basis.

ZachIt was bound to happen sooner rather than later. One of my old roommates, one of the first I made at , Zach, just had his first article posted on the website. Zach was a journalism major and worked in the media office with another one of my old roommates, Natashia. He has a passion for all things , especially collegiate athletics. He also happens to have a deep affection for the Texas Women’s Volleyball squad, he just happened to play for the Texas Men’s Club Volleyball team since the men do not have a varsity team like the women. He knows more about college than anyone you will ever meet. He is currently working an internship for the in Indianapolis, Indiana. Wish him luck and read his article!
