First Post of 2007

Greetings and welcome back to The Un-Zone, the only known site on the Internet devoted to all things related to Un. It's that time again where I post some random stuff floating around in my head that I find interesting.

First up...football.
1. The Mizzou football team lost to Oregon State. I am so, so sad. Not really. For some reason, like the Kansas football team, they manage to pull defeat out of the jaws of victory, instead of the other way around, which is more preferable. It's too bad, as if Mizzou won, the headlines would have been pretty funny. You can come up with a lot of funny headlines once you realize the Oregon State mascot is the Beaver. No stories about beating beavers.
2. The Los Angeles area has no professional football team. They all moved to the Bay Area, though if can consider the Oakland Raiders and the San Francisco 49ers "professional" football teams is another story. I'm thinking that the USC Trojans could beat both of them easily. The Trojans certainly beat the Michigan Wolverines convincingly in the Rose Bowl. The quarterback names were, to say, unusal. Booty and Henne. Imagine the arguments between a USC and Michigan fan. Enough said.
3. The Fiesta Bowl between Boise State and Oklahoma was classic. The Broncos (unlike the team in Denver) won an exciting match. In overtime. Using a Statue Of Liberty play with a counter. On a two-point conversion. This WAC team whacked the competition this year. They are a GOOD team.
4. How the hell did the Chiefs make it into the playoffs, despite playing, for the most part, mediocre football? They were pretty damn lucky they won against Jacksonville and had every single game result fall into place. That was a lucky break. Now it's off to Indianapolis to lose against the Indianapolis Colts (most likely, I think). At least they made it to the playoffs for once. If they pull off a Pittsburgh-like run and win the Superbowl...I'll just watch the games and see what happens.

In other non-football related news, I've decided to write the sequel to the original Gray Hall story. The one I wrote in 2005 and not 2006. It seemed only logical I finish the story and bring to a complete end and not leave characters in a type of fictional character limbo.
Well, Happy New Year's to you all, the readers of this blog, even the ones who only stumble onto this site. May 2007 be an excellent year in every way.

That's all for now.
