(1) The fantasy football draft for the Yahoo league "Owen 16" took place tonight, and here's what the Fighting Chippewas roster looks like for 2013:
QB: Matthew Stafford (Detroit), Michael Vick (Philadelphia)A fine looking team if I ever saw one. We will hopefully achieve our goals: Win the Dan Orlovsky Division, then the whole damn thing!
RB: Danny Woodhead (San Diego), Giovani Bernard (Cincinnati), Andre Brown (NY Giants), Mark Ingram (New Orleans), Pierre Thomas (New Orleans)
WR: Calvin "Megatron" Johnson (Detroit), Antonio Brown (Pittsburgh), Anquan Bolden (San Francisco)
TE: Antonio Gates (San Diego), Brandon Pettigrew (Detroit)
K: Lawrence Tynes (Tampa Bay)
D: San Francisco, Tampa Bay
(2) Started reading and analyzing Native American mythology in my English classes today - The Earth on Turtle's Back is always a great introduction to North American literature, even if some of the students took the story a bit too seriously (since they're used to having a bit of science in their formal educational background). Tomorrow we tackle When Grizzlies Walked Upright.
(3) Just wait until we take in Coyote v. Acme next semester ... their heads will fucking explode ...
(4) Novice Debate is kicking butt and taking names so far. Still not sure how many freshmen I will lose due to schedule changes, but they're asking amazing questions and seem to be "getting" Congressional Debate. And we haven't even started watching past congress rounds and analyzing them yet!
(5) Assignment information for both the novice and honors debate classes was emailed to debaters and their parents tonight. No excuses for not knowing what is due next Monday ...
