CO SPORTS:
-5280, the Mile High City’s and Metro Area’s foremost local rag (although it sometimes makes us suburban folks feel like we live the rural sticks) has a great article that offers more insight into Coach Dan Hawkins. As we’ve documented here at the SG, Hawk is a different breed: part Phil Jackson, part Yogi Berra, mix in some Aristotle, a bit of Bill Walsh, and maybe even some Harry Houdini. He can take the team to Water World and not be belittled for it like a previous CU Coach, yet still be raked over the coals for horrible play calling versus Iowa State. That being said, Hawk you better win by 2-3 TDs this weekend.

HIP HOP
-One of my favorite tracks out right now is DJ Revolution featuring KRS-One simply title ‘The DJ’. Surprise, KRS is preaching to all the played-out, flossed out rappers and radio programmers about the ills of contemporary Hip Hop, and as usual, he delivers. Of particular note is KRS railing on DJs who have “20,000 songs” on their computer and his 10 DJ Rules. Look for it Sept 16 on Rev’s ‘King of the Decks” album. CHECK IT

-Taking it waaaay underground in Hip Hop and steady blasting through the SG system is the Invizzibl Men’s “The Unveiling”. The group consists of Karniege, who has blessed projects from Def Jux over the years, and the relative unknown MarQ Spekt. The album is a collection of grimey, street heavy beats and rugged lyrics. Yet a few sextastic tracks offer some lightheartedness. An underground all-star collection of Vast Aire, Billy Woods, C Ray Walz, and Vordul Mega are peppered thoroughout. Peep the absolute illness that is the track “Jimmy Swagger”.

BEER
-The past two late Summers, I would be tallying up the wackness that was the SG Summer Missions. Ya know, that stupid shit of trying to down 528 (2006) or 5280 (2007) beers between Memorial Day and Labor Day. This year, I’m mad chilling and my super computer of a brain is intact as the tallying just never happened. Damn it feels good to be a gangster.

A super late fury of beers over the past Labor Day weekend would have pushed me to the hallowed 528 mark, because that mark doesn’t exist. The four day stanza went by with sucking smoooooooth CLs for free at a wedding (in which the bride mentioned she got CL because she “knew that myself and two-time Slushy Gutter Winner Mummy would be there”), popping mad beers tailgating with the SG Crew before and after CU’s Mile High win (including SG Alum Broz who dished out beers and “slutburgers” to coeds), and finally crushing beers with my beautiful wife on Labor Day. But that didn’t matter one bit this Summer….suckers. (528)
