Edited: Turns out this bike hasn’t move for at least five years.  Sam Howard took the same picture five years ago when we were living in Florence.  Great eyes see the same thing.

This is a great move for Chris. He gets a big-time upgrade at quarterback, and he will really get a chance to get on the field in New Orleans. With a new coach, there is also a level playing field and everyone will be learning the new system.
I’m glad I […]

I’m proud of these guys. Despite the disapointing finish, these guys provided yet another phenomenal season with great games, great plays, and provided many of us with a reason to get together with friends twice a week from November through the end of March. For all that, I thank them!
That said, the next […]

It’s painful to think about this game, and the missed opportunity, but somehow a loss is still one of my top 10 memories. I was stationed in Crested Butte, CO working for Club Med in March of 2003. I gathered with a group of guys that I really got along with to watch the […]

I have some [retty vivid memories from this one as well, and thats a good thing since it was a little more than 2 years ago. Game Day started out with Val and I filling our small 600 square foot 2 bedroom apartment on Queen Anne with well over 35 zag […]

I decided that this countdown should be personal, as any schmuck can do a top 10 wins in school history. These are MY top 10 moments in the modern era of Gonzaga basketball (since 1985).
January or February of 1987. Doug Spradley goes off for 35 points in a big Gonzaga win. […]

I am envious of people who own their own businesses and take the initiative to become the man.
This week, my good friend Tall Tom Hergert is taking a big step forward in his career, and becoming the first full-time employee at Tallzag Auctions.
He posted the news to his blog a couple of weeks […]

Is there a more beautiful mountainous region in the world than the Alps? Ryan went and had fun in the snow in France last weekend, check out his pictures here.

Check out my brother Brett’s blog - http://chongqingbloggin.blogsource.com/
He is teaching English and Western Culture at a university in Chongqing, China. He has already had some interesting experiences and revelations amongst the china-men (I know that’s not the proper nomenclature, dude)

My little brother Ryan leaves this weekend to spend a school year in Firenze! I’m jealous, but I’m going to visit him in November.
Enjoy yourself Ry!

It sounds like Chris has made the 52 man roster, with the Chiefs cutting Freddie Mitchell late last week, and assigning some younger players to the practice squad. Here is his full KC bio - http://www.kcchiefs.com/player/chris_horn/

This week is crunch time for my cousin, as he tries to secure a roster spot on the Chiefs 52 man roster.
From Elizabeth Merrill of the Kansas City Star:“Before training camp, Saunders said the Chiefs would probably keep five receivers. Kennison and Samie Parker will start. Dante Hall is also a lock. Boerigter and Chris […]
