Veronica Mars & football

It's a lovely time of year. Especially when you start a season 6-0. I'm probably going to jinx it by talking about it, but I think we have a truly dangerous game coming up this Sat., so it may be the last time I can talk about my undefeated team. That's the great thing about supporting a school like UCLA though; we have teams that contend on the national level in every sport, not just one, and it fills up the year with fun games. (I only care about football and basketball, though. Still, those take care of fall/winter/spring.) I'm afraid that we are far too overrated at the moment. We're ranked no. 8 in the nation, which I can't believe, considering our last 3 games were come-from-behind victories -- two of which should have been easy wins. After Sat.'s game against WA St., I was convinced we'd drop a few ranks, deservedly, and instead we rose 4 spots. WTF? I'm concerned because the higher you're ranked, the greater the pressure, and I'm just not convinced this team can handle it.
Anyway, enough about football. Onto TV. I finished Veronica Mars this weekend. For a show on UPN, I'd give it a 10 for quality. Overall, I'd give it an 8. Also, I've now read the recaps at TWoP for both VM and House, and all I have to say is: Those recappers seriously need to get their egos in check. They're not nearly as funny as they used to be (XF recaps were great), and it's obvious they think they're so incredibly clever and special. *barf* Also, it's starting to be like fandom, where the recappers are convinced that all the boys are gay and secretly sucking each other's cocks off screen. Okay, WHATEVER. Buh-bye, TWoP, you have officially become useless to me.
So here's my VM commentary, which may not be filled with self-important blatherings on about how this actor or that actor reads my commentary, or whether some random line of dialogue on the show is actually a clear shout-out to me, but I'm sure one or two of you will make the supreme sacrifice and read it anyway. :p ( I've finally decided on a ship. And other spoilery things. )
