The Gally Blog’s Fantasy Football Extravaganza

Hello Blogfrica and random readers. We here at the Gally Blog consider ourselves something of a sporting website. We may not exactly be credentialed, or sober, but that doesn’t make us unqualified to pretend we are. The NFL season is nearly upon us and with that is Fantasy Football. So we here are going to combine all of that. We’re holding a Blogger Fantasy Football exhibition. Some of us here at the Gally Blog will be participating, as will members of the sports blogging community for ultimate bragging rights. This year there is a prize for the winner. Last year it was just for the pride of winning, or coming in almost dead last like Gimp. Yeah, that’s right, this is the SECOND ANNUAL Gally Blog Sports Blogger Fantasy Football League of No Pants. Next year I’ll see if I can increase the title length, because that just doesn’t seem long enough.

We will do regular updates about it, and I’m sure logic will go crazy if he wins. If you or someone you know is interested in participating or sponsoring, hit me up. My info is up at the top right, and the comments section is available as always. Now on to the current participants and their teams.

Your Eagerly Anticipated Nebraska Cornhuskers Spring Game Review

Little known fact; although I have lived in Minnesota for over 15 years, I have never lived in Nebraska. Regardless, I have strong family ties and an undeniably rooting interest in the Nebraska, and specifically the Nebraska Cornhuskers. Please, hold the fat Midwestern girl jokes until the end at least. Also, you would be wrong. Anyway, for the past several springs now my family has made it tradition to visit the lovely university campus in Lincoln every spring to attend the annual Red-White Spring Game. For those unfamiliar with the college football landscape, you suck, and a spring game is where a college football team plays their final spring practice in front of fans. Yes, it’s practice, and yes, Nebraska is awesome at fan attendance at spring games as well. They had 77,000+ attend the game, paying $10 a ticket to do so. Only Alabama has had a larger spring game attendance thus far (it was free, they just won a championship, and it’s Alabama) and the next closest Big XII team in spring game attendance was Texas with 44,000. Think it’s stupid? Football recruits actually love seeing a game day atmosphere in April. BOOSH! HUSKERS WIN!

Isn't Everything Supposed to be Bigger in Texas

I'm from Canada, I don't know any better

Everything in Texas is bigger. The cars, the food, the people. It’s practically un-American to have something bigger than it’s likeness in Texas. Why do you think Jerry Jones built him the biggest and bestest of all the stadiums in the land? Well, that has more to do with him being a giant egotistical fuckwad but the point remains. Everything is bigger in Texas. Everything.

Fans of the Houston Texans will disagree with that statement. This year when the Team’s fans showed up to Reliant Stadium for pre-season games, the beer had gotten smaller. Yeah, you read that right, smaller. Last year when fans ordered one of the $7.75 beers, they received 24oz of draught beer. My math skills might not be the greatest this early in the morning, but to a Canadian, that doesn’t sound that bad. After all it’s two regulation can’s of beer for $7.75. At a bar here in Canada, that would cost me probably about $11, barring a sale and assuming domestic beer. That’s with our Canadian dollar buying much less as well.

This year though, the draught beers have been reduced to a measly 20oz for their $7.75. Those bastards. continue

This would work so well. Insomnia is part of the reason I started this page.
