Retraction

In Saturday's post I refered to the University of Alabama-Birmingham's football squad as the "Dragons." On this point I was in error; their nickname is the "Blazers," I had mistakenly known them as the dragons because there is a dragon on their helmet, and their mascot looks like a dragon.

100 Post-tastic Blogstravaganza!

That's right, Blarg! is officially 100 today! You know, that's not years, but posts is almost as good, right? Anyway, I've been putting together this little recap, and that's why it's been so long since I've posted anything. As I type this, we're less than four hours from the start of the trouncing of the University of Alabama-Birmingham Dragons. There's nothing quite like the season opener, let me tell ya. Also, on that note, if you're interested in playing fantasy football with MEO and I, shoot me an email or leave a comment, and i'll get you the info.
