Enjoy another serving of ten college football nuggets below. We are three weeks in already. That’s 25% of a season of 12 games. Don’t you wish the season was 24 games? I asked two weeks ago and I’ll ask again. Is everyone else playing for second? Bama is rolling. Roll Tide Roll. After giving up …
Scroll down if you dare after reading this brief post. Somebody’s watching. There she is. Meet Abby Roux. This beauty of a four-year old Vizsla is the Boom Boom’s Room exclusive and official mascot and watchdog. She has to pull double duty for us at the outset, budgets being what they are you know!

Maybe, just maybe, I am getting a bit older and a tad bit crotchety. Probably. Ok, I am. I think what I think. My lifelong love of genuine, inspirational, sport competitions make me wish for the old days. It was a day when you could go to an event or tune in on TV (only …
MSN, which isn’t one of my favorites, has this Stormy story. She fears life won’t be normal anymore. I assume that is because it was so normal prior? What, pray tell, was her first clue? The circus that is American culture and politics reaches a new low on a daily basis.
