What Happened to Bubba Watson?

I follow golf fairly causally, which means I pretty much know who wins the major tournaments.

Sometimes I'll watch a little golf, but that's usually because there's nothing else on. However, I know Bubba Watson, and I always kind of thought of him as a madcap, hangin' loose, fun guy. I mean, he is one of the "Golf Boys" who make funny music videos. He's even got the actual General Lee from The Dukes of Hazzard. Heck, when your name is "Bubba" you can't really be that uptight. I think that's a rule somewhere.

Accordingly, I was really surprised when Will Vereen brought this to my attention via Twitter.

I find Bubba Watson extremely unlikable. http://t.co/5mq10frT6o

Apparently, Bubba was too uptight to participate in a long drive competition during a practice round? This doesn't sound like the Bubbba Watson I know. That sounds like the behavior of an Assistant Principal at a middle school.

What's changed in Bubba? I don't know, but I have to agree with Will. I find this version of Bubba Watson unlikable as well. Someone needs to tell Bubba: "Lighten up, Francis."

Changing the Blog Look

If you've been a regular reader, you might have noticed that I've changed the blog look. It's kind of a "new paint job" to keep things fresh. I'm going for a little more modern, streamlined look, rather than the old green and wooden look.

Other than the paint job, everything else is all the same. All the links and inner-workings should be exactly like it used to be - it's basically just a new paint job.

Thoughts?

New Credit Card Parking Meters Coming to Columbia

PROGRESS: Columbia to get new credit-card parking meters. I'm pleasantly surprised that Columbia will be taking a step forward with getting these new meters. It will make it more convenient for people like me who rarely carry around rolls of quarters.

South Carolina has new uniforms...

...from Under Armour.

It's July, so we're in the "dead period" where there's not even football practice and baseball still has eons to go until the post-season. So! Time for a uniform post!


Actually, these uniforms look pretty good. If you're not a Gamecock fan, you don't know about the tradition of constantly changing our uniforms. In short, South Carolina is the polar-opposite of Penn State. We change uniforms like a woman changes shoes. Fortunately, Under Armour doesn't fool around.

Brilliant New Idea!

The Democrats want to take $2 Trillion from the Private Sector

Genius! If you're looking for fresh ideas...well....you're looking in the wrong place. The more things change, the more they stay the same.
