Pony Up!!!

  Aloha Anyone?

  Well it's only been roughly a year and half since my last post, so what the hell.

  Anyway, as im sure you've read in my signature a thousand times, im a football player at SMU (Southern Methodist University) in Dallas, Tx. We haven't exactly been a powerhouse, posting a whopping 2-22 record the previous two seasons. Well, things changed this year, and thanks to the help of June Jones and all the coaches, we are going to Honolulu, Hawaii this year to play in the Hawaii bowl.

  This may not seem like much to you guys, and maybe even less to those of you across the pond, but SMU used to be a national powerhouse, winning multiple National Championships. That is of course, until the NCAA decided to effectively kill our program for 4 years, and making it damn near impossible to get a decent team together after that. So ever since 1984, SMU has not gone to a single bowl game, this being the 25th and final year, since Christmas Eve you can watch whoop up on somebody over on ESPN.

  7-5 this year was great, and I can only see us getting better from here, thank coach Jones, and I hope people tune in to watch us on Christmas Eve. I can't think of anywhere better to spend the holidays other than the great state of Hawaii.

  By the way, i'm the starting Left Guard, #77. Happy Holidays!!!

  The Colbert Nation Rules

  If you know what the Colbert Report (pronounced repor) is than you are one lucky individual. Not lucky in the "you just won a prize" lucky, but lucky in the sense that this show is AMAZING! Now I can't type too much, remember only one hand can reach the keyboard for 2 more weeks. Anyway, every night at 11:30 EST, 10:00 PM down here in Texas the show airs on Comedy Central. It ive iis reminescent of the Daily Show except Colbert himself puts his own spin on it. Just give it a chance and I promise you will be begging your parents to let you stay up. Been watching him this entire year and it never gets old.

  

  Also, the one book I have actually wanted read is written by Mr. Steven Colbert himself entitled I Am America And So Can You. If you watch the show the title doesn't seem so quirky.

  

  One more thing, since this is a video game website I might want to mention them. So when exactly is there going to be another Star Wars Battlefront game because I really loved that series? Not to mention it it the highest selling Star Wars franchide of all-time.

  Not Again...

  Before I start I'll give you guys a bit of back ground information, during my junior year in High School I managed to tear the labrum in my left shoulder. Obviously this led to surgery, and about 5 months before I was back into playing shape. Not to mention the countless hours of rehab.
  
  Anyway, as ya'll know from my previous post that I have been in the middle of Spring Footbll for the past couple of weeks so it has been a little more difficult for me to post, but I do my best. During our practices, a couple of times my shoulder would feel as though it is coming out of it socket causing me excruciating pain for a few minutes, before it starts to subside to a level I can deal with. I told the trainers about this and they set me up with a cool shoulder brace that goes underneath my shoulder pads. Then, the day before the Spring Game, I had an MRI to get a definitive on what was going on. Just yesterday I get the results and you'll never guess what the results were.

  Yep, another torn labrum, but not quite the same. This time, it is in my dominant right shoulder, meaning that finishing up school is going to be a BEEEEOTCH. I get surgery this Thursday at 11:30am, so wish me luck. Since this injury is in my right arm, it is going to be nearly impossible to post here. Don't worry though, if I can I will, and I will never forget about the UVFU. I hope to listen to some podcasts to, since about all I can do is click with my left hand.

  This will take just about as long to heal, so I probably won't be ready by the time football season starts back up, but oh well. Hope to talk to ya'll as soon as I return. DON'T FORGET ABOUT ME!!!

  P.S. These posts are getting bland because every time I try to add a picture, Gamespot says the Tag img may not have attribute title, even though I put a title. Oh well, I'll figue it out eventually. See you guys.
