Busted a box of T206. Had no expectations going in, as I hadn’t done my due diligence to know what to find in a box. For the price point, I kind of expected to get an A&G/Goodwin Champions type of experience. I wasn’t wrong. The cards are very remi…

This weekend while I was in town for the Grand Valley State game against Carson-Newman we decided to check out the Lakers men’s 
and women’s teams. We only paid $11 dollars a piece for the football tickets so we decided that the $7 to get into both basketball games was in the budget. I decided to pick up my football tickets at the will call window before going into the basketball game. At the window they told me that I could get into both games free with my football ticket. How great is that? Maybe I am spoiled because of the great atmosphere that I have seen in Mackey this season, but I really was not that impressed with the turnout. The student section had maybe fifty people in it. The women’s game was a blowout when I walked in, but it quickly became a close one. The Lakers pulled away in the end though to win 81-68. Five Lakers scored in double digits. The only reason that the game seemed to get close was the foul desparity. For a small school these girls can light it up. They shot 65% on the night. Not too shabby.
The men on the other hand had an easy time taking down Ashland. They shot 61% themselves in the route. They took an 18 point lead into th
e halftime break, and never really looked back. Toreau Brown scored a career high 22 points to lead his team, but this was another balanced attack. They won 72-48 to make the Lakers 2-0 on the day. Leaving the arena to go to the football stadium we learned that the girls soccer team had just won the National Championship. Of course we already know that the football team won to make it a perfect 4-0 on the day. It was a decent day to be on campus for sure. As you can see in this picture the men did not have much of a crowd either. Maybe they are just too used to winning to show up for a conference game. On the other hand there was a huge football game that day so you would have had to miss tailgaiting to come. I would rather have stayed warm and watched basketball for sure. Watching these two games does help me appreciate what I see at Purdue though. We do have some great fans.

Purchased a few more 2009 Topps 206 retail packs on Monday and pulled a mini of Ken Griffey Jr. Is this really the best that Topps could have done for this veteran; a card of him looking like a huge blob? Seriously, given that this set is sort of art-based, I think there were some [...]

While their were many impressive posts this week, it all to a perfect card to win this week’s winner in the Beat
the Blogger contest. The Blogger posted a respectable score of 7 but it was no
match for Dana Boisvert, who picked each game correctly and hit on the doubler
for a perfect score of 11 to in the week.
This week’s matchups and the Blogger’s picks will be posted below later so
make sure you check back and get your picks posted before the start of the first game
to be eligible to win this week’s prize. As always, good luck.
While I enjoy giving prizes to several people vs. having just one weekly winner, from
this point forward contestants will be asked to provide a tie-breaker on the week’s
last game so we narrow our winner down to one. Contestants will now be asked to
predict the total score from the last game on the list and the closest to the actual
score will be deemed the winner). I’ll also require contestants to post their
e-mail address with their picks so I can track down the winners easier.
For those unfamiliar with the Beat the Blogger contest, the idea is simple.
The Blogger posts 10 matchups each week and then selects his 
choices
for the winners of those matchups. Contestants enter the Beat the Blogger contest
by clicking on the “Comment” section below the post with the matchups and then select
their own 10 winners. You can also designate one of your picks as a “Doubler” and
you will receive an extra point if you’re correct so don’t forget to designate your
“Doubler” pick and increase your chances of winning. If you Beat The Blogger’s
total and post the high score for the week, you win. The regular weekly
prize is an authentic signed 8-by-10 color photo of stars such as LaDainian
Tomlinson, Drew Brees, Marshall Faulk, Santonio Holmes, Gale Sayers, Catfish
Hunter and many more. From time to time, the Blogger will sweeten the pot for
the weekly contest so look for special prize packages.
This week’s matchups (with winning picks in parenthesis)
Saturday, Dec. 5
College Football
Cincinnati at Pittsburgh (Cincinnati)
Texas at Nebraska (Texas)
Florida at Alabama (Alabama)
Sunday, Dec. 6
NFL Football
