    You suck asshole used to be one of my favorite chants. I used to get all riled up about it and scream it with all my might. It was the loudest and clearest chant we did. But here's the thing. You Suck Asshole got old. It started to suck. It still does.

    Long weekend and disappointing result. One thing I learned is that opposing teams love playing in front of us. Couldn't believe we never bothered singing, "what's it like to see a crowd," to Colorado.

    IT'S NICE OUTSIDE! The seven day forecast looks pretty nice as well. If it doesn't turn out exactly as the KPTV weather guys have told me on the internets you can believe Wayne Garcia will receive a strongly worded letter from yours truly. OK probably not.

    First off I have to apologize for the lack of a Monday posting. I suck. Actually I had something come up last minute and rather than posting a round up late at night I opted to just do a big one today. Don't like it? I've had worse thought about me I'm sure.

    Did everyone get their Axe Society gifts in the mail yesterday? Gotta admit that first game ticket is pretty cool. Kind of wish I could fit my real one in there too. Did everyone keep theirs or am I the only one?
