Crap!

Cutter’s Log – Stardate 9002.21.01
Current Song – Get Down (Gilbert O’Sullivan)

The computer got H1N1, or something like that.

My computer was offset by a virus on Friday, which seemed to come out of nowhere. I had to take the computer down to the shop to get repaired. It’s still there as of this write. I’m working at the SVCC Computer Lab at the moment, where the internet was down for quite a while. It’s up now.

So I’m trying to find a way to access the website. I tried at my grandmother's house, but her computer is too slow. So I'm at SVCC. I have to download a plugin to my traveldrive, and from there end up downloading the site tools from the Internet onto the computer's desktop. I have to be sure to erase my things once i leave the computer. The next day I'll have to do the downloading over again.

Therefore, I had to cancel my plans to cover the Riverdale-St. Bede game on Friday night. It turned out to be a very good game as Riverdale won 23-22. I also had to cancel plans to take pictures of the Dixon VB Invite, and cover the Sterling Boys Golf Sectional, which is going on right now. I haven’t event written the Observations piece yet, or tallied up the Pick’ems yet.

I had to find out some scores the old fashioned way – by reading the newspaper. That’s how I found out Rock Falls defeated Hall. In the short time I read the weekend’s activity on the boards, I am surprised that this huge upset did not generate more talk than the ONE post. There were many posts on the expected Sterling blowout of Streator. It baffles me a bit. With the win, Rock Falls moves to 3-4 on the season. They play winless Kewanee this week, and could very well be 4-4 heading into the final week. This hasn’t happened since 2003, and I clearly remember this talk.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m a Sterling alum. I like the Sterling talk on there. There doesn’t need to be less of it. I just wish there were other schools and fans of these other schools that would make their voices heard as much as Sterling fans do.

I know where I’m going for Week 9!
