Failures of the Intarwebnets!

I’m flabbergasted, truly!

Last week was Homecoming Week at MSU, along with the associated election of a Homecoming king and queen at last Saturday’s football game.

Unbelievably, however, the results of the election (see: popularity contest?) are NO WHERE to be found online. Not in the local newspaper (the illustrious Bozeman Chronicle). Not on the MSU website, anywhere. Not even on FACEBOOK, despite the better than a dozen “vote for so-and-so” groups and half-dozen photo albums from the Homecoming parade Saturday morning and the tailgate parties during the coronation ceremony. Obviously, I don’t care all that much (I could have asked someone … or attended the game, or something), but I’m curious, and all the MORE curious that I can’t find out from the infinite source of all wisdom and information (see: the intarwebnets!).

(Actually, I am mildly interested (heck, I even voted!) this year, just from a slightly politically incorrect excitement about the fact that a non-Caucasian was running for homecoming king … probably for the first time in MSU history (not true, actually– last year’s homecoming king was a Native American). But a black, intelligent and involved (an ASMSU senator!) football player? At a school that’s 95% white, 4% international students and 1% athletes? Anyhow. Like I said … I hate to by politically incorrect, or perpetuate stereotypes … but some times those stereotypes have root in reality.)

NO WHERE. How does this sort of information NOT get posted on line? Yes, we ARE Montana State University, but still…

    Why do I always seem to blog in bursts, as of late? I think if I averaged things out, I’d still be posting at least weekly… but it just comes in spurts, every couple weeks. Hmm… (yes, I posted three times tonight. Deal with it.)
