Evacuating Gustav: Breaking it Down - The Second Half
Well, Gustav is now a not so distant memory and it's time for me and the rest of southern Louisiana to return to normal life. I think most residents attempted to return home yesterday but Erin and I decided to wait it out another day here in Olive Branch, MS while traffic dies down and power is...
The Right Choice
As Poseur posted yesterday, the game against Troy is off. It's rescheduled for November 15. The results of yesterday's poll would indicate that this is an unpopular choice, but I agree with it wholeheartedly. My parents live in Gonzales, which is about 30 minutes away from Baton Rouge (and...

Tentative Conclusion: Disaster Has Not Struck
It's a little too early to draw a definite conclusion, but it definitely appears right now like we will not see the kind of cataclysm that accompanied Hurricane Katrina. For one, New Orleans has been spared a direct hit, as the eye of the hurricane will be passing significantly west of the city....
An Open Letter To My Irish Brethren After A Promising Week One
Dear Notre Dame Fans Who Are As Impatient As I Am About This Damned Season Starting, I know that as you watched the ticker scroll by on Saturday, the same thoughts flickered in the still-cognizant corners of your mind that flared up for a majority of observant Notre Dame fans: A lot of the teams...
Evacuating Gustav: Breaking It Down
Okay guys, it looks like I will be able to stay with you, at least for a little while, as Gustav heads toward the Louisiana coast. I am glad to see CSC readers who live in the area have gotten out of the area and are okay. I wish the best for you and your families. As of now, it looks like the...
