San Diego State Expells Two Frats for Violations

San Diego State expelled two fraternities Thursday for violating university regulations. Lambda Chi Alpha and Delta Sigma Phi were both barred from participating in campus activities as recognized fraternities, reportedly because of severe violations.

Delta Sigma Phi was expelled because of a hazing incident during initiation week earlier this month when three pledges allegedly kidnapped an active fraternity member. Police said the pledges blindfolded the victim, placed him in a chokehold that caused him to lose consciousness, forced him to drink beer and drove around with him while he was restrained with duct tape for approximately 45 minutes.

California Evacuations Suck!

San Diego fire

My mom wanted me to go to Columbia - where she went.

My dad wanted me to go to Boston College - where he went.

Of course, I chose a third option - head west to the lovely San Diego State University.

Riiiiiight - hot chicks, warm weather and palm trees year round…that is a no brainer for any heterosexual 18 year old dude that just finished high school. Of course, as I sit in the airport for the past 2 days trying to get the HELL out of this part of the country, jappy Columbia chicks and hippie Boston chicks don’t sound so bad right now.

Please don’t hate on me, I didn’t go to my college for the hottie factor alone, but I was looking for a unique college experience. Fleeing my dorm from the heat of an impending forest fire is NOT exactly what I had in mind. Read More »

Is Barry Bonds a Cheater? Let’s Ask People on the Street!

Barry Bonds as a KidBonds steroids

Every sports fan has an opinion on whether of not Barry Bonds is a cheater.

Watch ESPN’s media blitz for 10 minutes and you will know what I’m talking about. Bonds just broke the most coveted records in all of sports and the media can’t seem to redirect their news fiending boner away from the fact that the guy potentially cheated.

Are American’s really fired up about Bonds cheating or is this just another case of the media force feeding us “controversial” topics to drum up ratings? I decided to hit the streets and ask some every day Joe’s whether or not they think Bonds is a cheater and why.

Here’s what I found… Read More »

Barry Bonds Hits Home Run #756, Passes Hank Aaron

bonds passes hank aaron

SAN DIEGO — At 7:29 p.m. local time Saturday, in the top of the second inning, Barry Bonds hit career home run No. 755 off Padres pitcher Clay Hensley. It was the first home run he had ever hit off Hensley, who became the 445th different major league pitcher to surrender a home run to Bonds.

It came on a 2-1 pitch, a 91-mph fastball. The swing was clean and true, hands back, head in, follow-through a study in grace and power. The crack of the bat was sharp, familiar, prodigious. The ball flew 382 feet on a low, sharp line to the opposite field, over the left-field fence and off the facing of the second deck of seats at San Diego’s Petco Park.

The sellout crowd came to its feet — some cheering, some booing. Bonds’ teammates burst from the dugout to await him at home plate, and he circled the bases quickly, clapping his hands on his way to first, and slapping a celebratory high-five with Giants coach Tim Flannery as he made his way around third base.
