You know, this ridiculous cost of gasoline is really starting to piss me off. Friggin $4.09 a gallon I just paid today. Food costs have been going up as a result (because it takes gasoline to move the product via 18-wheelers) and discretionary income nationwide is going in the sewer. It will cost me an arm and a leg when I take the ski boat out to the lake for a smooth slalom ride this summer. I am spittin' nails these days. And Jack Ebling wonders why I don’t plan on purchasing Michigan Basketball tickets next winter.– I mean, get real!!!

Shoot, it will probably be $5 a gallon by tip time next late November, and would cost me $35 per roundtrip in gas cost (times 18 home games) just to get from my home in East Lansing to Ann Arbor and back. Let alone the $50 for a pair of ducats per game. I will just stay home and watch on the Big 10 Network. Get ready sports fans, because the cost of petro is going to totally affect the sports world. Pretty soon, very few fans will have any money to purchase the game tickets,– the key revenue generator. Then the whole thing completely goes in the crapper. You can call me, Doom and Gloom, but this situation totally sucks and doesn’t look like it’s going to get better anytime soon!
