Jermaine Gresham

Jermaine Gresham

Jermaine Gresham has done something bad to his knee, and will likely not play against BYU, who Oklahoma will still paste by thirty points. The early read on the knee is vague, but the words “Anterior Cruciate Ligament” do not appear anywhere near this report. If you have a meniscus you’d like to donate to Jermaine Gresham, the University of Oklahoma athletic offices are ready when you are.

Oklahoma’s All-American tight end Jermaine Gresham will miss the BYU game Saturday due to injury. The World is working to confirm the story, and OU beat writer Guerin Emig has written a blog about what affect Gresham’s absence could have on the Sooners and who might replace him at tight end if he’s out.

The big Oklahoma papers have not weighed in as of this morning. (Tulsa World is also mum.) Take message board "gossip" for what it's worth, but the above bit comes from a well-established admin on OU's Rivals site, i.e. not a random, isolated fan whose "sources" could be anyone; it's not substantially contradicted at any point in a very long thread.

Steve Perry of journey fame. When Journey Unauthorized will be performing at Paramount Theatre in Aurora next week they will be trying to recreate a legacy that is among the most legendary of all. Performing like Steve Perry is a thought that remains with every artist for the whole life and mostly without being fulfilled. Steve Perry has had a very successful career. He has lead one of the most successful bands of the 70's, 80's, and 90's while continuing a prosperous solo career. Mr. Perry is best known for being the lead singer in the band Journey. He recorded 10 albums with Journey that sold more then 45 million copies. With this Steve also recorded two highly successful solo albums.

Perry, who originally played drums, was involved with several pre-Journey bands including The Nocturns, Dollar Bills, Sullies, Pieces, and Alien Project. The Sullies won the battle of the bands in Calaveris County, playing against 80 other bands. Alien Project was close to signing a record deal when their bass player was killed in an auto accident on July 4th. Steve almost gave up on music for good. Shortly after, though, he was contacted by Herbie Herbert, who said the band Journey listened to a demo tape and liked his singing style. None of Perry's former bands recorded any official material.

With Perry on vocals, Journey's style would change. Their fourth album, Infinity (1978), became their first successful album. They would go on to record nine more albums. Journey with Steve became one of the late 70's early 80's "Stadium Bands".

People of Wal Mart

People of Wal Mart

"People of Wal-Mart," a gag started by two 20-something brothers and their buddy to share crazy pictures with their friends, has gone viral. Promoted largely on sites like Digg and Funny or Die -- and linked ad nauseam on Facebook and Twitter -- the site picked up enough traffic to crash its servers on Wednesday. "I'm still baffled -- I really am," said Andrew Kipple, 23, one of the creators of the site, who said his team was frantically working Wednesday to add enough server space to handle the surge in traffic.

Photos on the site, sent in by viewers all over the United States, frequently feature overweight people wearing tight clothes, bizarre hairstyles (with versions of the short-in-front, long-in-back "mullet" leading the pack) and fashion crimes ranging from furry leg warmers to miniskirts that leave absolutely nothing to the imagination. There's a guy enjoying a can of beer outside a Wal-Mart, a guy dressed as Captain America and another guy with a goat. Yes, a live goat. Andrew and his brother Adam, 25, said they thought of the site after a visit to a South Carolina Wal-Mart where they saw a woman they believed to be a stripper, wearing an obscene T-shirt and leading a toddler in a harness. Around the next corner was a man with a beard reminiscent of the rock band ZZ Top.

"It's kind of like the light bulb went off," Andrew said. "We get the e-mails already from people who are like, 'Why didn't I think of this?' We just happened to be fortunate enough to have the ability to actually follow through on it." Their site was keeping up when it was getting about 500,000 views a day, but got swamped by a new spike in traffic late last week. The brothers, along with partner Luke Wherry, 23, say response has been largely positive -- with only a handful of complaints out of every 100 e-mails they get. A post on the group's Facebook page Thursday morning said they had gotten more than 1.2 million page views on Wednesday, even though the site was down for much of the day.
