The Wax Heaven Official Brand

on December 5th, 2009 by Mario A.

While I’m not exactly thrilled to be walking away from Wax Heaven, I have to say I am somewhat relieved that I won’t be able to do my End of the Year special, titled ‘The Waxxies’. It’s just a lot of work.
Rather than focus on the best of 2009 I figured it would be good [...]

2010 Topps cards at Redsfest

on December 5th, 2009 by JT

Not official 2010 Topps cards, but I didn’t make ‘em. These are special editions printed just for the Redsfest in Cincinnati. Feel free to use the images, but please give some credit if you do!

I’ll be honest, I’m not crazy about the 2010 design. Yes, it’s better than the late 90s/early 00s, but it’s not [...]

Can This Happen Again?

on December 5th, 2009 by csd

This year has seemed a lot like 2006 all year long. Today I will take another step towards that when I head to Grand Valley to see them try and make it to the finals in Florence, Alabama again. If they can pull this off their likely opponent will be Northwest Missouri State. Could Braly Stadium take another rematch between these two teams. Well we will cross that bridge when we get there. It’s deja vu all over again. For now enjoy this video of the goalposts coming down after the win.

Notre Dame Will Not Accept a Bowl Bid

on December 5th, 2009 by csd

Notre Dame will not accept a bowl bid this season. That was the announcement made yesterday in South Bend. With a few words the Notre Dame season officially ended. Notre Dame was once sitting at 6-2 with Charlie Weis talking about a potential BCS Bowl bid. Then they lost to Navy, Pitt, UConn, and Stanford to finish the season 6-6. This means that we have most likely seen the last of Jimmy Clausen, Golden Tate, and maybe even Michael Floyd. With the coaching change it is hard for me to see any of them coming back. Next season could be as bad or worse than the 2007 season for Notre Dame.
