Two College Teams to Root For

This is sweeeeeeet! Two college teams are going to be wearing military camouflage style uniforms this weekend in honor of the military and recognition of Veterans Day.

Maryland and South Carolina will wear uniforms with camouflage designs during their games Nov. 14 to honor military veterans and promote the Wounded Warrior Project.

The black with tan camouflage uniforms, designed by Under Armour, will have a Wounded Warrior logo on them. Instead of players' names, the backs of the jerseys will have words such as courage, loyalty, integrity and service.

I'm a big Georgia Tech fan but I guarantee you I'll be rooting for South Carolina to beat Florida and hoping Maryland can overcome Virginia Tech.

Oh, and curse you ESPN for not allowing embedding of your videos. Visit here for a video explaining how this came about.

Wounded Warriors Getting The Playboy Treatment

Kudos to Hugh Hefner for helping out the Wounded Warriors Project.

"Hef was kind enough to let the Wounded Warrior Project be a beneficiary on Halloween. Proceeds will help severely wounded veterans that have recently served in Afghanistan and Iraq," Executive Director of the Halloween 09 bash Jose Dominguez told Pop Tarts. (General admission tickets start at $1,000 and go up to $15,000 for VIPs.) "Halloween is the most sought-after night at the Mansion so it was a good opportunity to support our veterans and enjoy a great party at the same time."

We’re also told over 40 wounded soldiers will also attend the scary soiree.

I do not even want to imagine what is happening in the rehab clinics over at Walter Reed right now between the guys trying to gain admission to this event.

Wounded vet's racing snowmobile stolen

A wounded Iraq war veteran is asking for help finding his snowmobile, stolen two weeks before Alaska's Tesoro Iron Dog snow machine race.

Charlie Potter, who nearly lost his arm in Iraq, hopes to ride 2,000 miles in the world's longest, toughest snow machine race as part of Team Wounded Warrior to show other wounded vets that their lives can return to normal after injury, the Anchorage Daily News said Thursday.

The sled and the trailer to which it was attached were stolen Tuesday morning outside a bar in Wasilla, the newspaper said.

The snowmobile is a yellow and black, 2007 Ski-Doo ME7S XRS 600 SDI with a low-profile racing windshield.

The person who stole it probably didn't know who it belonged to, all they saw is somebody elses stuff and instead of working and earning the money to buy their own they simply stole it. There are punks everywhere. Folks that visit this site, especially those in Alaska please keep an eye out. Ohters that are more familiar with sites like EBay can keep an eye out also.
