Just in time for a tough showdown with Arizona State, we’ve launched a (somewhat)new-and-improved version of TrojanWire.
In case you’re wondering what’s so new–we migrated the site from TypePad to Movable Type, added a sweet new News by Player flash module, and built out a few other surprises along the way.
So next time you need news [...]
In case you noticed–I added Google ads to every story page. Not sure I can talk about them much, since Google is a little Fight Clubbish about Adsense…but just wanted to let you know that they had been added, as I do some experimentation with just how they’d perform on an unfocused, multi-subject blog like [...]
The Angels wrapped up the West with a 4-3 win at Oakland tonight.
Now Mike Scioscia & Co. can take some time to get their lineup/pitching ducks in a row over the last 5 games of the season, and wait until possibly as late as Monday to see who they’re playing–the Yankees, Red Sox, White [...]
No better way to kick off your rookie year on the highest court in the land than by hearing Anna Nicole Smith’s case.
Ok, so I know it’s the first of Charlize Theron’s 5-episode run on Arrested Development. And it’s the beginning of a big season for them, so they’re trying to run with the added starpower of Ms. Theron and make the show as fun as possible, for as big an audience as possible. But tonight’s episode [...]
Kele Okereke, Bloc Party (at ACL - Saturday night):
Thanks you’ve been great, Austin. This is our last song. But you’ve all got Oasis still to endure, I mean, enjoy. (crowd laughter) Fittingly enough, this song is about arrogance.
Jeff Tweedy, Wilco (at Stubbs - later Saturday night):
So we’re staying in this hotel…and Nels (Cline) tells me [...]
I know, one big recap might be nice, for organizational purposes. But
honestly, after three days, a ton of bands, food, and 100+ degrees
everyday, I have come to a conclusion–it’s impossible to cram it all
into 1 post.
Headed down to Texas for the Austin City Limits Festival this weekend. If you’re down there, look for me at the Arcade Fire and Wilco after-show gigs.
Morgan Ensberg — USC alumni (and member of the 1998 College World Series-winning team), Phi bro and now, Pennant Race X-Factor:
Houston ranks 13th in the NL in runs scored and its lineup appears downright anemic when Ensberg doesn’t play. The Astros are 20-12 when the 2005 Hank Aaron Award finalist homers and 39-18 when he [...]
Best line (said by George-Michael Bluth) from a solid season premiere of Arrested Development last night.
Jim Cramer in week 1…how can you follow that up? Oh yeah, with Charlize Theron and Scott Baio.
Oh, and don’t forget to visit Oscar Bluth’s blog: ImOscar.com. No RSS feed, but I’ll cut him some slack; after all, he’s in [...]
