¡Hola mi amigos! Welcome back to the newest installment of the ever-so-popular and mysterious blog of "insert sweet and awesome nickname" Eric Mayhaus!! Now you won't have to lie on the bus tomorrow and pretend you know what's going when all the "cool kids" are talking about "cool things" like professional wrestling and professional ath-a-letics. No worries, mortal friends, I am here to provide you with all you will ever need....to know what's going on up here, in the only place that matters, New York.
This weekend, highlights were "abound" as some would say, and once again a dull moment didn't come across us, unless I missed it because I fell asleep on the couch every night. Friday night Christine and I "hit up" a show Starring (yes, starring) my cousin Jeffrey Kuhr. Phenom. The show was basically a showcasing of this dude, I don't remember his name, and his choreographing skills so that people in NYC will hire him. Jeff and his cohorts were also there to showcase their own talents as well. And showcase they (he) did. I'm going to be completely honest in that I did not care about the rest of the show except what Jeff was doing. Even when he wasn't the lead, I was watching him, because, c'mon, he's my cuz, dawg. Gotta rep the fam. He was awesome, and Christine and I really enjoyed the time.
Saturday night - UC beats West Virginia!! (see below) We went to a bar ( a Cal-alumni bar, I might add) and watched UC move their way into a coveted top-25 position. After the game i quickly went out and pre-ordered some Florida oranges and dusted off my large bowl. (If you don't get this, then I'm sorry, I can't say anything else).
So I may have lied a bit earlier when I said "highlights were abound." This weekend was dece, and definitely fun, but nothing much happened out of the ordinary. 'Nuff said.
Week of Sports Predictions
After a stellar 50% first week, I moved up to 98% with my predictions from last week going 2 for 4. (I know you "think" that you "know" the math doesn't work out for that, but I'm an engineer, and I do math problems for a living, so you're going to have to trust me on this one.) I'm counting the close game that UC beat WVU as a "win" for me, so deal wit' it. And I ran thrice, a far cry of help from the 5 that I "chad-johnsoned" last week. I'm 2 for 2 in runs this week, so that 5 times a week may not be far off. And Notre Dame, oh old Notre Dame, why you disappoint me!?
Bengals will win. Brent Celek has a career day and scores 7 touchdowns, but Ocho, Teej and the "bungies" pull out a 63-56 slim win over the surprisingly struggling Eagles. Bengals on track to go 8-8 and prove nothing, not go to the playoffs and not get a top draft pick. Whoop-de-frickin'-do.
UC 70 - Louisville 7. We will avenge this same deficit of 3 years ago when the infamous "defacing" of the Louisville logo fiasco ruined our chances of winning that game. We can smell the oranges, and our first win over Louisville as members of the Big East will be a step closer to Florida.
UC BASKETBALL STARTS UP NEXT WEEK?!?!?! Uc will host NKU this very evening in the last exhibition game before the season starts. NKU should be commended, but will get beaten to a bloody pulp by the extreme awesomeness and short stature of Mick Cronin and the 'Cats. I expect to drink a few back this season watching UC make it's run back towards the tourney. See you in March!
UC cross country will set an all-time school best at the regional meet with 11th. Not quite the top 10 they hope for, but definitely doing work.
Song of the Week
"Lazy Sunday" - by Chris Parnell and Andy Samberg.
The true affects of the song can only be experienced through video here. You're welcome.
New York "Moment" of the Week
As "this dumb, idiotic guy" was late for his bus this past week, "he" sprinted through the subway station and went through the emergency exit, but then forgot that "he" went out the exit already, because you normally have to go through a turnstile, so "he" ran all-out full speed into the "in" turnstile and was rejected harder than anyone has ever been rejected before in the history of the world. Not only did "he" do that once, "he" tried one more time, only to get denied. Eventually this "dumb, poor soul of a man" figured it out and ran the right way, but not before my, I mean "his", pride suffered.
I don't really have much else this week, so until next week friends!! Enjoy your weeks/time you spend reading this. And look out for your boss reading this over your shoulder!

too bad it's going to be UC 45- 17 Louisville... you just wait and see... and congrats on running the wrong way through a turnstile.. looks like i am the smartest in the family =]
well i'm glad my loving sister is supportive of me...
OMG Eric...running the wrong way through the turnstile??? After I posted about you 2 running into the fireplace I now read this???? Slow down! (something that probably isn't in a New Yorkers vocabulary). I think you both you and Emily are wrong in your predictions of the score of the Louisville game. I predict that it will be a close game but "we" will win 28-23. Go Bearcats!!
ooooo.... who was more correct in their predictions of the UC-Louisville game?? Huh??? That's right. Your old mom!! (who , I might add, is NOT UC alum!!).
