Every once in a while, I’ve been known to plop down at a local saloon, watch some random sporting event and text my buddy Croshere (whose secret identity may soon be revealed pending podcast).  I’ll giggle and snort out loud, knowing that if I were to pass the phone to the stranger beside me, or even attempt to explain to anyone why I was laughing hysterically while sitting there by myself… well, they just wouldn’t understand.

October 16th, 2009 by Chris Humpherys

If you thought last weekend featured the only big-time tussle in the bayou, think again. While this weekend’s college slate might at first glance pale in comparison to Florida-LSU, don’t be fooled.
