The ups and downs in fantasy!

Ok, so I have had some great success in my fantasy football leagues this year! In fact, and I don't mean to brag, but I am sitting in first place in all three of my leagues, but I face other challenges as the league commissioner. For example, some of the owners have decided to take advantage of teams that are no longer competitors. Yeah, how lame is that?! They have preyed upon new players and have traded "crap" player for "superstars". So now their teams are stacked. So now I am forced to take action, and let it be known that my actions are swift and brutal! The penalty for "unfair" trades are: the reversal of the trade, and a docking of 10 points, and not just for one week but two! Any of you that have played fantasy football knows that 10 points can make or break a team! Man, people just do not understand integrity! Yeah, part of fantasy football is injuries! YOU HAVE TO DEAL WITH IT! But you CANNOT take advantage of a weaker player! You cannot trade Tom Brady for Ryan Fitzpatrick!!!!!! Yeah, this isn't a big deal to many people, but it is to me! Therefore I must rule with an iron fist and punish those who prey on the weak!
So anyway.... this is great because I am winning in all my leagues, and have maintained my integrity, and I expect everyone else to do the same! Granted 250 bucks is a good chunk of change, but you still have to earn it, without preying on the weak!! GRRRRR! Now I have to take the roll of "Asshole" and reject such trades.


Well, I am off to preserve intrety in fantasy football.... night all!

Gearing up for finals......

If there is one word that will strike fear and excitement into the heart of a student it is "Finals"! Yes indeed..... and everyone knows it's true. All semester long we fight through homework and papers and reading and no sleep and stress and .... and .... and.... every other god forsaken activity that we are put through as students. Then on top of it all, just when were ready for it all to end..... we have "FINALS"! That on word invokes joy and happiness and RELIEF from all the above that was previously stated, but then we realize how much more work and stress and sleepless nights and reading and every other god forsaken activity that we have to do in order to prepare for the dreaded "FINALS", and on top of all that... there is the added stress of knowing that this one FINAL, will make or brake you..... ARRGGGHHHH!!!!!!
So yeah... that is my state of mind and being at this moment. It is still a little ways off, but this hideous creature known as "Finals" is lurking around the corner, waiting and watching. But Hey... drown it out and enjoy the events that take place before finals.... like homework, reading, sleepless nights..... oh crap.... what kind of life do we live? LOL. but just imagine that some thing as dreaded as finals still produces: pleasure, excitement, relief, and accomplishment!
Yeah that's right!!! It's all worth it in the end!!!!!

Country Music and the Black Death.... Huh? Sounds good to me!

Well hello there folks, How the hell are ya doin'? It's good to be in your local bar again...... LOL.... Yeah, so if ya can't tell I'm listening to some country music.... Hank III to be exact. If you want some music that crosses genres check him out... but I'll warn ya... It is not for the faint of heart!
Ok.... so onto this weeks activities...... Hmmmmm. Well, today we had our broadcast from Dr. Mueller! Man you want to talk about an amazing lecture! It really was awesome! The only thing that could have been better is if prospective students were there. Yeah, no one showed up other than myself and the USU Price staff that was working. I know Blanding was also hooked up to the feed but I don't know if they had anyone attend or not. Even though this event did not go as well as i planned there is some good that came from it, and I really believe that this will be a great recruitment strategy. The best thing about doing something like this, which has not been done before, you learn what should have be done differently. After talking with Brad we are going to work closely with the the CEU Professors, some of them mentioned that they would be willing to bring their entire class to a lecture like this, but it wasn't possible this time because I set the date and time before I spoke with them...... Yeah.. it was a stupid move on my part, but hind site is always 20/20.
Anyway.... tomorrow is our semester activity. So far it looks like this could be the best attended activity in Price in the last couple of years. As of noon today we had 30 students sign up for the USU Price Movie Night! Hopefully we will have a good turn out. I will be sure to let everyone know.... So the moral of this weeks blog is, work closely with professors, offer free movie tickets, and go check out HANK III!!!
