The Mr. Squishy Show Web Companion
Okay, you're saying to yourself, I can watch the Mr. Squishy
Show, I can read about the Mr. Squishy show on the World Wide Web, but
what if I want to explore the Web while watching the Mr. Squishy Show?
What other sites should I check out as background material to enhance
my Mr. Squishy experience?
Our answer: you have way too much time on your
hands. But far be it from us to question the priorities of our
listeners. (After all, screwed-up priorities are the main reason we
have listeners.) So here are a few links you might like to
check out...
"Pretty much everyone on the internet is an annoying time
waster"-Doghouse Riley, "Pave the
Earth"
Now you too can use the full power of the Internet to keep updated on the
three marquée sports of the Mr. Squishy Show:
The best way for you, the listener at home, to get the latest
in college hockey news practically as it happens has, for several
years been to subscribe to the Hockey-L
mailing list. Unfortunately, it's also been the best way to receive
80 fascinating and pertinent messages a day on such topics as whether
the "sieve" chant is unsportsmanlike and the best technique for
throwing fish on the ice. But the understanding folks at Hockey-L
have created a new mailing list just for informational postings, Info-Hockey-L.
Finally, if you're just interested in the scores and don't want any
email, the Men's Divison I Composite
Schedule is updated pretty regularly.
Ah, baseball, our national pastime and the most beautiful
sport ever created. Log off and go enjoy some already. If you want
to know where and when to find some, you can follow the link above and
let Skilton's
Baseball Links tell you. And if you're in Santa Barbara,
Saugerties or Ithaca, you can check out one of Joe Schlobotnik's amateur
baseball picks, the Santa
Barbara Foresters, Saugerties
Dutchmen or Ithaca
Lakers
Real College Football
We all know
Division I-A Big Time College Football is little more than a minor
league for the NFL, but at the Division I-AA, II and III levels,
people still remember what it's all about: trounce your rivals and win
your conference. If your local newspaper skimps on the real college
results, never fear. The Nando sports server has
an "Other/Small
Colleges" section where you can read the AP stories the local
paper doesn't care to show you. The "lower" divisions do have
National Championships, but at least they're settled by tournaments.
If you want to follow the National I-AA
scene, check out Patrick Dunn's I-AA
Preview.
Mr. Squishy Sports
And of course, there's the Mr. Squishy Show's sports coverage.
In case you missed any of our baseball, football or hockey
reports, we've saved them for you on the web.
UC Santa Barbara Sports Clubs
It's not exactly Mr. Squishy Sports, but I've also started
doing a Club Sports Roundup on KCSB's Sports
Spot, 5:15-5:30 Thursday afternoons. Check it out.
Sci-Fi Summary
"Can we get back to the music, please?"--The Fisherman,
"Naked Bootleg"
Oh yeah, the music. Well, how about the Punk Bands Web
Directory; their definition of punk is a bit broad; here's a
sample:
For a more mellow groove, try the Space Age Bachelor Pad
Music site. Esquivel
and more! Along similar lines, look what we found on the Sub-Pop Records site:
Frenchy, one of our favorite lounge acts, don't have a web site, but
you can send them e-mail
They prefer to call their brand of '20s-'40s jazz "hot music", but
fans of lounge may also want to check out the The Squirrel Nut
Zippers, on Mammoth records.
Oh, and KCSB has finally
followed our lead and got a Web Site of their own.
