The next Bobby Crosby?

At least Steve Phillips stated that he could fill out and be the next Bobby Crosby, that is not all that bad, I guess.

Speaking of the MLB draft on ESPN2, there is always next year.

Boise Hawks will not be able to contain Mr. Vitters. Maybe in the second round, they will pick up Beau Mills from the a lil bitty NAIA college up in Northern Idaho.

Truck Driving School Graduates Rejoice

After all the hard work that you truckers ( if you got your ears on, good buddy), you are finally being rewarded/acknowledged for your duties ( not the entertainment at rest areas highlighted in "There's Something About Mary") and this little newsworthy nugget comes in the form of the NCAA "allowing" one of your industry leaders to sponsor a meaningless bowl game.


These pavement pounding warriors only survive on crank and rest stop loving. So the loyal Roady's Truck Stops have pulled out the measures to say thanks and will now be sponsoring the lovely blue turf Humanitarian Bowl Game. Boise State Alum/Fans/ Players/ Coaches/Cheerleaders who are getting proposed to and pretty much the majority of citizens of the Treasure Valley are just shaking their head at this. Imagine the tailgating..
Make sure to sign up for the Roady's Rewards! ( This just announced- to stem the criticism that the State of Idaho is about to endure, the Idaho Department of Transportation has filed a grant to release these items in storage to the first 30, 000 fans that come to the stadium and have the guts to carry them home.)


Here is the link for those who are unfamiliar, to this story.




Well done, truckers, well done......but remember, SAFETY FIRST

The Hold Steady at the Neurolux 5.24.07






Pornstaches, seeing old friends from Vegas, dirty cheap Pabst Blue, and having a chance to imbibe in some sweet bar band music.....not too shabby. I love America.


Thanks to the Hold Steady for stopping by the 'Lux...sorry no video available from the show.

Aftermath of a certain spontaneous event @ the Big Easy





Ziggy was pretty decent, but Robert Randolph stole the show and finished up the 90 minute set with some local kid ( supposedly) hoping on stage and jamming with the rest of the band....


here is some links to some of the clips loaded up ........Thanks to the Walls for free tix to the show and to the security staff who supplied warnings rather than kicking me out/confiscating my camera while recording some clips.....
