Tubasaluki: Quoting music since 2003

I decided to look good on election day. This consisted of two things.

1) A tie. No not THE tie. A black one. It does not shoot lasers, sorry.

2) Shaving.

I don’t really like shaving. Its sort of annoying, plus no matter how long I stand in front of the mirror, I will notice twenty minutes later that I didn’t catch a spot. Since I don’t like it and the wonder that is radio doesn’t force me to look great all the time, I sometimes go a few days without shaving.

Except this time, its been since election day. Bordering on 10 days since I last put foam and blade to face. And the question is, do I roll with it? See how this goes?

Right now, its at that stage where its noticable, but its not filled in either, which somehow makes me look extra hippy. Ususally at this point I go, “Eh, shave it!” but I sort of want to see where this goes. I’m asking you, dear reader, for your input. But, considering how well you responded to my post honoring the late Michael Crichton, I have my doubts.

Follow up note: I am reading Sphere in remembrance.

Anyway…football picks!

Washington State at Arizona State

We scored! And held a team under 60! Next stop: ROSE BOWL.

Haha, I hope this game isn’t televised out here, lest I feel obligated to watch it.

Arizona State 49, Washington State 14

UCLA at Washington

Hey, Rick Neuheisel is back. Remember when Husky fans would get all defensive when people called him a liar and a cheat? Isn’t that really hilarious in retrospect? “You’re just jealous because we’re winning,” they would say. Ah, memories.

UCLA 20, UW 17 (Because he cheats!)

SIU vs South Dakota State

Explosive offenses collide in a game that will be played in terrible conditions. This might actually help SDSU. I know this because I watched them dismantle Illinois State on a field last week that looked sort of like a bog. However, the southern offensive line is really playing well, so why not?

SIU 35, SDSU 28

Seattle vs Arizona

Finally, half way through the season, we get to play the Cardinals. Matt Hasselbeck is back, so the offensive line has someone new to not block for this week. Also, get used to seeing Cardinal touchdowns because last time I checked, they employ Larry Fitzgerald and we employ Brian Russel.

Arizona 36 Seattle 10
