Since Gallaudet football team did the improbable run to cap the undefeated season, the surprise and shock rolled throughout the Gallaudet community as well as many Deaf communities across the nation -- that the team did it all. Coach Ed Hottle did it in his first year as Head Coach. How many coaches gets to do the undefeated season in the first year of coaching? And Coach Ed Hottle did it.
And the information from Gallaudet has reached me that the students numbered between 80 to 120 has flocked to Hotchkiss Field and pulled down the goal post, perhaps to celebrate the fact that the team went 8-0.
It was mentioned that some students jumped on Department of Public Safety's cars (DPS) as well.
Remember the football team is not in NCAA Division III, but it is making plans to return to Division III by 2007. Next year, I was told that they plan to schedule 5 Division III schools. Either way, Gallaudet went 8-0 this year, that is what it counts the most. Coach Ed Hottle obviously set the tone for the program on the right track. Perhaps, the next challenge for Coach Ed Hottle is to keep the players stay on the team for four years, not two or one.
I'm relieved that nobody at Gallaudet gets whacked down by the goal post like it did in Minnesota. I guess by Monday morning, the faculty would shake their heads, "See? Freshmen lack the civility once again."
What a life. C'est la vie!
Congratulations, Coach Ed Hottle and Gallaudet Gridders.
UPDATE: It was reported that about 350 students participated in taking down not one but two goal posts. It was said that the University is exploring to take action on several students -- they also triggered the fire alarms in all dorms. It brought the DC Police and SWAT team into the university -- several students were arrested.

Gallaudet 51, UNCG 0
You got it right. Gallaudet crushed UNCG 51-0 to nab its first undefeated season in school history. I guess, it is up for another round in Division III next year!
Congratulations, Coach Ed Hottle and Gridders to make history. 8-0 in his first season as Galladuet Head Coach. Amazing feat.

I'm So Pregnant! Know what annoys me the most? Folks that reacted when someone said she is pregnant. Their "Ahh, aww, ahh" reactions made me cringe or shiver. Pregnancy is part of life. Just like being in love. It is not that special. It takes two to tango, really. But observing at how heterosexuals run their lives, many wanted to get married just because the society dictated them to do. I remembered meeting one female who told me that she must get pregnant soon because she is supposed to. I asked her if that is what she wanted. She did not respond. She just said, "I have to because everyone expected me to do that."
What the fuck?
But there are some sane folks who got pregnant, they do not drum it up. They did it because they were in love, or wanted it out of their own desire. Not because they feel they have to. Sometimes the accidents do happen, they make the best out of it. But I'm appalled that there are women out there who said, "I have to get pregnant because my Mom wanted me to. Because my Church said it is good thing to do. Because everyone has it!"
These things made me roll my eyes once more.
Gotta Love Steel Magnolias' Ouiser: A character named Ouiser Boudreaux performed by Shirley MacLaine once uttered, "I'm not crazy, I've just been in a very bad mood for 40 years!" -- I can relate to that. Maybe I am in a very bad mood for the last 15 years.
I'm Bit Jittery As Of Now: It is 1:05 PM as of now. Which means that the Gallaudet Gridders are currently playing its final game of the season. I will find out in few hours whether if they completed its first undefeated season in its history or not. Under normal circumstances, I would not care much about the team -- I mean, the team has bee a joke for many years. But when Gallaudet hired Ed Hottle, my eyebrows raised a notch mainly because he's charming fellow -- we rely on our body language to read their reactions. . You can see the enthusiasm and infectious winning attitude in this guy. That makes him hot and irresistible in my book. Then thanks to a certain friend of mine, Christian Burke, he told me a lot of interesting things that happened on the field that he rarely saw in the past. He mentioned that for the first time in a long time, there is no cronyism among the group.
You see, Christian and I used to work with each other at Gallaudet in a computer lab -- we supervised the lab for some years, so we have this mutual respect for each other. I love him, he's great guy. When he compliments someone else, he meant well. He joked a little about my infatuation with Ed. Who is not?
But in a general outlook on the first season that Ed Hottle did -- I'm totally impressed with everything he did for the team and for Gallaudet. And I really wanted Ed Hottle to pick up the win today. Oh, yeah, Christian is one of Ed's Assistant Coaches.
Ahh, since I was jittery and could not know the final result, I was cruising each player's pictures -- David Morgan is perhaps the best looking guy on the team but there is no way in Heaven or Hell that I'll chat with him. Too much of an intimidating factor, I think.
Memo to Libby: Good riddance. Up next is Karl Rove.
First ExxonMobil Makes Profits: And now they gave the fake flu shots to its own employees. Another example of greed. Only in Texas!
Confidential to A Stupid Hearie: Your legs belongs on my shoulders, remember that.

Two Gallaudet Students Reportedly Injured: A source said that Nate Elliott and Pat Conway walked down the 8th Street NE and was ambushed by four thugs who went on to beat Pat and Nate down on that street between Florida Avenue and L Street NE. It was said that Nate got shot in his leg but is fine. The thugs robbed them of wallets and pagers as well. I find this very odd because they said that these four thugs jumped out of their truck to rob them. In my ten years in the area, I never heard of an instance like this before. I walked around the neighborhood by myself and I never had someone go after me out of their cars -- unless they were provoked upon.
More Details Out of Gallaudet HC Ball: More details are coming out of Washington about the incidents surrounding the SBG Administration handling of HC Ball at Hyatt Regency Washington Hotel. It was said that someone peed in the vending machine. Now, I would like to SEE THAT! It was said that 13 customers left the hotel after Gallaudet students pulled the fire alarms three times in the middle of night. Needless to say, the SBG was billed as much as $8,000 for the damages at the hotel. But it should assure us of something else -- the tradition of Homecoming Ball turning into uncivilizied behaviour is still on after many years, though.
Gallaudet Football Aims for Undefeated Season: Coach Ed Hottle and his Gallaudet Gridders received the attention from The Washington Post about their 7-0 record. And tomorrow, they will play the final game of the season in Greensboro. If the team wins, this particular team will be the first in Gallaudet history to undergo an undefeated season.
Need More Proof That Gallaudetians Can Be So Dumb? According to xanga.com, there is a webring that attempted to harness the fellows who attended Gallaudet. It reads: "Gallaudetians, Live and Propser!" According to the topic of this webring: For those who "sign" the buff 'n' blue so produly! As well know the secrets of the Tunnel, Tower Clock, and hoarding the alcohol in their dorms without gettin busted! And we have students who cannot spell prosper and proudly the right way. Pitiful.
Rosa Parks Deserved This Honor: About time that the Congress agreed on one thing, to have Rosa Parks lay in state at the United States Capitol Rotunda for two days, making her the first woman in American history to do so. And only the second black American to lay in state at the Rotunda. With her silence and defiance, Rosa Parks changed the course of Civil Rights Movement in this country. Like it or not, her impact goes beyond the colors, it also sent a huge impact on Deaf Community as well. We would not have the Deaf President at Gallaudet University if not for Rosa Parks.
New Orleans Fired 45 Cops: Good for them!
Shame on Iran: The emotional flares in the Middle East needed to be solved. The Iranian President reserved the right to share his opinions but to say that Israel needs to be wipe off the map is inappropriate thing to say. I cannot blame Iranians for hating the Americans -- we supported the corrupted Shah of Iran who repressed the mass for years before they revolted against the government and adopted the Islamic State. If the United States has not supported the Shah, the outcome would be different today. But that was not to be. Never mind the fact that the United States punished Iranians for having its revolution by imposing the embargo on the nation and inserted Saddam Hussein to do the deeds.
The Americans are proud of our American Revolution, but we cannot approve of others having that opportunity? Does that smells hypocrisy to you? Of course it is.

I Love Dan Dickau's Hairdo
I Wanna Be Dan Dickau: The first time I laid my eyes upon Dan Dickau, I immediately liked his hairdo. When he ran down the court, his hair is so thick that you thought he was a mop-head or something. When he jumped in the mid-air, his hair did all the attention.
And that was many years ago when I first saw Dan Dickau. And now I'm trying to sport one like him as of now. It's thick -- I probably will need to cut a little on the sides, but on a general look, I want it to be cool and moppy like Dan Dickau. Any suggestion?
Heard About $8,000 Bill: A grapevine alerted me that Hyatt Regency Washington Hotel billed the Student Body Government at Gallaudet up to $8,000 for damages to the hotel where Gallaudet students mingled and wrecked. Look at the bright side, nothing is new, though.
Remember Sulu of Star Trek? Sulu, the famous character of Star Trek films and television series, was portrayed by George Takei. Anyway, George Takei came out of the closet. He's a queer and has a partner of 18 years. That is longer than Britney Spears did, though.
Why Capitalism Sucks? Look at ExxonMobil's Third Quarterly Report -- they said that they earned 75% increase in profit. And it indicated what? Greed. When people attacked ExxonMobil, they attempted to deflect the issues by saying that all oil companies are doing the "same thing".
Todd Bertuzzi Should Be In Prison: Vancouver Canucks' Todd skated and stalked after Colorado Avalanches' Steve Moore two years ago and ambushed Steve from behind. The result is that Todd broke Steve Moore's neck. Then NHL suspended him for only 13 games before the NHL season was cancelled. IN other words, Todd was virtually never punished harshly for the sins he commited in its name. Todd was let go with a "probation" in cheap-assed British Columbia. Todd sobbed on the national television after a heavy uproar about his actions. Todd brought his wife and said that he was "not that bad person. It just happened."
He sobbed because he was sorry more about himself, than about what happened to Steve Moore. But that does not matter as of now because he is free to play whatever he wanted to do.
What the fuck? It was a premediated assault -- the sport, hockey, glorified fights. Now, Todd continues to skate away with millions of dollars and will play for Canada in Winter Olympics. How disgrace is that? What about Steve Moore? He is in rehabilitation, his chances to play in the NHL is unlikely.
It is my hope that Steve Moore will sue Todd Bertruzzi in the court in order to wipe out his finances. Thanks to Todd's brutality, Steve will never have an opportunity to be Wayne Gretzky or Eric Lindros. How nice is that? That fucker deserved to be in the prison.
And the Avalanches fans seemed to agree when the Canucks came to play them last night. The Avs ran off with 6-2 win but each time Bertruzzi touched, people booed and cursed him to no end. There was a woman who wore the Bertruzzi jersey at the game, someone dumped beer on her head. Good riddance. That bitch knew better than to wear that jersey in Denver!
