Winter Links

Well the weather here in Lubbock is indeed frightful, as the first snowstorm/flurry is upon us. In honor of Old Man Winter, I bring you a fresh batch of links that will kill a few minutes if you're stuck inside a house or apartment this winter.

First off, how NOT to handle the winter weather:


I came across this blog a few months ago, check in ever-so-often, and may have even linked it here a while ago. I've laughed out loud numerous times at the tounge-in-cheek humor of Stuff White People Like, because it's so spot on with, well, stuff white people like. I fall into many categories, (Pea Coats, graduate school, thrift-store clothing, promising to learn a new language) and if you're white, you probably do too.

As always, check out Deadspin for up to the second sarcasm in the sporting news world.

It'll be a few more months before season 3 of Friday Night Lights airs on NBC (It's on DirecTV for now) but here's episode one of season three for all who are avid followers of the show.

Lastly, here's a short preview for season five and recap/music video for LOST. Gave me chills watching it. Can't wait for the new season. Six weeks and counting...

It's Like a Rusty Steak Knife Cutting Through a Well-Aged...Steak

In order to get things poppin' a little more around here, I'm gonna start posting a 'link-of-the-day.' (Or every other day, whatever works)

For today, we have a link that has do with everyones favorite Boston Sportswriter, Bill Simmons. It seems that he was going to have Barack on his podcast, the "BS Report," but ESPN nixed it at the last minute. The article isn't really super interesting, but as is the case with all articles on Deadspin, some of the comments are hi-lareeeeus, so feel free to immediately scroll down to the comments section. My favorite is from the user UkraineNotWeak. Read and enjoy...

P.S.-The pic of BO holding the Heisman is in the UT football facilities. Who says that Austin is a liberal city? Psshaww.
