Sick show tonight. I can't make it, because its a Thursday night, but for those who live in the City and dont have early mornings tomorrow, I suggest you go.
It's SpaceHeater plays Rahsaan Roland Kirk. Here is more information:
via www.sfjazz.org
SFJazz has a new series wherein modern musicians reinterpret the work of previous icons. And they've picked some great musicians here. Firstly, Rahsaan Roland Kirk is a legend. An icon. A personal inspiration to me. He could play up to 3 saxes at once! Unbelievable. He was remarkably creative. Always pushing the boundaries, always creating. Fresh, fresh, fresh. He himself was not adverse to reinterpreting the music of others. Here he is playing "Say A Little Prayer" (the first few minutes is him talking, which he was wont to do):
He could play a myriad of instruments. His fluting was the direct inspiration for Jethro Tull's fluting, which led to a lot of anger and resentment by Kirk, who felt they had gotten rich based off his technique. Here he is fluting LoverMan:
And this guy is going to be reinterpreted by SpaceHeater's Blast Furnace. They do a good mixture of instrumental jazz with electronica. It should be good. I'm having trouble finding a quality video here for them. The songs I love of theirs do not appear to be on YouTube. Blech.
The show is at 9 at Amnesia in the Mission. Find the info here on this Google Map. So, go if you can! Support local musicians! Support SFJazz! Its only $5! What do you have to lose?
STOCKTON, Calif. (AP) - Patrick Christopher had game-high totals of 22 points and 10 rebounds Wednesday night to lead California to a 79-54 victory over Pacific.
The Stockton Showcase turned into a showcase for Cal's shooters as the Bears shot 53 percent in the first Division I basketball game played at Stockton Arena. The crowd of 8,704 was the largest ever for a Pacific home game.
Jerome Randle had 15 points and six assists for the Bears (6-3), who took command early in the first half and extended their lead throughout the game.
The Golden Bears wasted no time in taking a stranglehold on the game, taking a 10-point lead seven minutes into the contest. Christopher helped Cal gain that early lead when he connected on the first five shots that he took. Sophomore center Max Zhang helped out, as well, swishing two outside shots. Randle scored 13 of his 15 points in the first half.
The Bears never let the Tigers get back in the game. Cal went into the locker room at the half with a 14-point lead.
The opinions expressed in a FanPost are, in every way, reflective of the opinions of every California Golden Blogs Marshawnthusiast. Moreover, they are reflective of every employee of SBNation, including Tyler "Blez" Bleszinski.

Honestly, I’m arrogant enough that I already perceive myself to be wildly hilarious and don’t need the unending praise of the plebes. I mean I love that I get it, don’t get me wrong. And if it makes you happy to praise me, then, by all means. But do it for yourself, you don’t have to do it for me.

carp, maybe you'll appreciate this as a baseball guy
So the other night I’m watching “Dora The Explorer” on Nick Jr. with my kids. This particular episode involved Boots the monkey playing baseball. Plot involved Boots having trouble hitting the ball. And then he has to face some huge animal on the mound who throws really hard. I can tell that my son (4 years old) is showing interest in the baseball aspect of the show, so I engage him in conversation:
Me: So, what game are they playing on this show?
Ohio Bear Jr.: Baseball!
Me: Do you want to play baseball when you get bigger?
Ohio Bear Jr.: Yeah!
Me: So do you want to be the one who bats the ball or the one who pitches the ball?
Ohio Bear Jr.: [after thinking about it]: I wanna bat the ball.
Gotta say, I was hoping for the other answer. Especially since he’s shown a tendency to throw lefty.
Praise be to Tedford!
haha…that’s funny. He can probably do both at least through high school ball. Lefties with movement on their fastball and a decent changeup are devastating. Any breaking pitches are a plus.
You know the drill…if Ohio Bear Jr’s big, but him at first; if he’s fast, put him in center; if he has a cannon for an arm RF (and he’ll probably pitch); and if he does a litle bit of everything remind him Rickey Henderson threw lefthanded and he played LF.

Is it even a question?
royrules, you HAVE to go to the downtown district. There are tons of fun bars down there. I have spent many a night durnkenly wandering the streets of Seattle and not remembering much the next day. I don’t suggest you do that necessarily, but what I do remember of the bars, they were a lot of fun.
How do you define downtown?
I’m a fan of the Belltown bars, not too far from the water. Del Rey is a good starting spot, especially for the young people.
And, zomg, cream cheese hotdogs after = win!

I know
I was a little vague in saying “Downtown”. The Belltown district is obvi a great choice but you can wander down to the Queen Anne distrct and they have several good bars as well. I would start out in Belltown however. Tia Lou’s or Amber are good places to begin the night (plus they are next to each other so minimal walking required.
I’m not going today (yes I know.. lame) but rather tomorrow night.
Right now I’m depending on my friend who knows a few bartenders in downtown so we’ll probably head there first. After that I’m definitely heading to Belltown. And after that I’ll be happy if I know what I’m doing
In other words, Go Bears!

BERKELEY, Calif. (AP) – Chasity Shavers scored a career-high 32 points and made three free throws in the final 34 seconds to close out San Jose State’s 68-66 upset of No. 22 California on Wednesday night.
Shavers repeatedly beat the Bears with fast-break layups and finished 11 of 19 from the field.
Alexis Gray-Lawson scored 21 points but missed on a drive to the basket with 6 seconds left. The Bears (4-4), who led by 13 in the first half, failed in their second attempt to get coach Joanne Boyle her 100th win at the school.
Samantha Marez added 13 points to help the Spartans (2-7) to their biggest win under third-year coach Pam DeCosta.
Shavers also had eight rebounds for the Spartans, who snapped a four-game losing streak.
Cal opened the game on a 14-2 run, draining four three-pointers in the first four minutes of the game and seemed poised to cruise to an easy victory. Cal led by 12, 25-13, with 8:21 remaining in the first half when San Jose State went on a 10-0 run to pull within two points, 25-23. The Spartans took their first lead of the game with 1:56 remaining in the half and wen to the locker room up three, 39-36.

caught the 2nd half of this game...
…heard it on the radio driving home and I thought I’d drop by the arena and watch the rest.
Keep in mind, I didn’t see the first helf, so this is just talking about the second half.
It was rough. Lexi does so much of the heavy lifting for the team, at least in this instance. Looking at the box score tells it all. Her 21pts led the team, and she was also the high rebounder. That’s pretty much how it looked on the court too.
It seems like Greif and Vital are struggling in their expanded roles. Vital didn’t make one bucket the whole second half, and Greif might have made one.
We didn’t have much of an inside presence at all. We shot a lot of 3-pointers becasue that was what they gave us. Seems like almost every time we’d drive the ball, it either resulted in a pass back out to the perimeter of a flubbed high-percentage shot. Perfect example was late in the game, down by 1 with the ball out of bounds under our own basket with like 15 seconds left. They get it to Lexi, she drives, there’s nothing there, so she has to pull up with the fadeaway in traffic and hope for the foul. She doesn’t get it. Stallworth had a good number of shots down low she had no business missing, but she wasn’t the only one. Both FG% and FT% were waaay low tonight.
Seemed like we got boxed out on rebounds quite a bit. Defense just seemed… spotty. I don’t know how to describe it.
Stallworth looked every bit the freshman out there. I…i’ll just leave it at that. Her 3-pointer to bring us within 1 right at the end was heeeella clutch tho.
From the looks of this game, this is gonna be a ‘learning’ year. Lexi will always be Lexi, but the freshmen will have to get their legs under them, and it’ll take a while. I’m sure it’s rough for Lexi, this being her senior year and all. I’m really glad she had last year’s experience though, since this year may be a rough way to go out.
On the plus side, the last minute of game time was REALLY thrilling! I think I must have sent calnet 10-15 texts with constant updates. Such a shame we couldn’t pull it out.
Funniest part of the game: Late in the 2nd half, SJSU had the ball out of bounds at half-court with 2 seconds left on the shot clock. They inbound it, and their player heaves up a long bomb as the shot clock expires… a long bomb AT OUR BASKET. Damn thing nearly went in too :-D

My grandma once asked me if I could take her to go see that because she’d heard it was good. Mindful of the fact that she doesn’t understand English too well, we proceeded to have the following conversation in Chinese:
Me: You sure you want to see it?
Grandma: I heard it was good.
Me: Do you know what it’s about?
Grandma: Not really, but I don’t usually understand the stories anyway.
Me: Well, it’s about a bunch of guys who love other guys.
Grandma: Oh, that sounds cute.
Me: No, I mean, they really love other guys.
Grandma: What?…Oh. Oh, ok. Maybe we can watch something else.
I ended up buying it for her on DVD later. Not sure if she ever watched it.

I was forced to watch this movie
Freshman year of college I took Comp Lit R1A. Two teachers, one female one male. The female teacher had the balls in the relationship and the guy probably was gay come to think of it. We had to read the book Brokeback Mountain (which was already kinda bad) and then to get credit we had to go to a theater room in the FSM Cafe at night to watch Brokeback the movie.
In other words, Go Bears!
My R1A was pretty much ‘Torture throughout the ages’. It was depressing and I suppose it was meant to be deep. WTF.
Ragnarok: Great Man or Greatest Man?
Yea R1A sucked. R1B was funny. I had a Chinese teacher teaching me English but best of all she was nice as hell. We had to read this one book, Monkey, which was a Chinese book translated to English and write an 5 page paper. As usual I pulled an all nighter and went to my 8am class to turn in the paper to find out that we were watching the movie of the book but since the movie was in Chinese she told me to turn in the paper, go home and sleep.
In other words, Go Bears!
It took you all night to write a 5 page paper?

You will have to write copious amounts for work once you graduate regardless of your major and 5 pages will seem quaint then. That was my point.
I would think the most successful people in any field have to have the ability to write; even in computer science (creating a business plan, for instance, for your own startup).

But I always end up staring at the screen for hours thinking about how to start before I stop for a break (without having written anything). I finally start writing at around 2 or 3am and spend the rest of the night finsihing up.
Funny enough I’ve gotten As on all papers I’ve written like this. My average grade when I actually wrote something ahead of time and proofread it? C. And that’s because my paper for History 127AC was just so amazing that it got an A+.

How can he prove that? Like in the whole of human history no-one ever jammed a fist up someone’s backside? I mean, I can understand that it might not be documented in scholarly resources, but still.
So are you saying that some nancy-boy Brit with a lisp must have thought of this centuries earlier?

I’m saying that the English have a long history of buggery – and given societies with a habit of rogering young boys (Ancient Greeks, various Afghan, Roman Catholic prelates), someone at some point must have got carried away with themselves.
Haha. He said there is documentation of it being invented in San Francisco sometime in the 60’s or 70’s. So someone at least started claiming credit for inventing it then.
I've been Honked...
Oh nice
I don’t remember if he did that for my class. It’s been two years though.
Did you guys have to do a paper where you take a map from the early 1900s and compare it to one of the same location in the past few decades? I did that with San Jose and thought it was awesome. Of course it helped that the paper was 2 pages in length.
In other words, Go Bears!
No, but we did have to do a 1500 word paper evaluating a primary source from before 1860. He gave us a list of online databases to use, but all i could find on there were photos and maps, and I figured I couldn’t write a 1500 word paper on those. So I used an actual book from 1852 from the Bancroft library. Apparently this was a no-no, as everyone else in the class looked at me like I was nuts when I mentioned I had done that. Fortunately, my GSI was ok with it. Very weird that they would restrict you to ONLY online materials, though.
I've been Honked...
Yup
He banned computers and phones in class to prevent us from “surfing porn or god knows what else”

No matter the length of the paper, it will take me at least all night, if not longer, to write it. i HATE writing papers, so it always takes me forever to do them.

I never saw what the hype was about the Joker. I thought he was good, but Jack was a better Joker. If not for his unfortunate suicide I think his performance would not have been as well received.
No I disagree. Ledger’s performance as the Joker was genuinely stark raving insane with no rationale behind it. I think that embodies the Joker more than Nicholson (which was a great performance).
In other words, Go Bears!
Nothing embodies the Joker. He’s been around since, what, the third Batman comic ever published? He’s been invented and reinvented and revamped so many times that there’s no real “there” there.

It’s true that the Joker has a murky (at best) origin but I think there are some traits that can be associated with him. I know Joker when I see him hind of traits, and I think Jack Nicholson hit more of those than anyone else I’ve seen, Cesar Romero was too campy for me although that’s what all the characters were in those days.
I disagree. I guess if you try to compare it to Jack Nicholson’s version, it’s really different, but it’s meant to be a different interpretation of the Joker.
I really felt his performance stood exceptionally well on its own.
Also, this list really should have Denzel Washington from Training Day on it, imo.
7
I am not referring to the differences in styles, although I have read plenty of Batman comics and think Jack’s Joker was more true to the character but, rather Heath’s performance. I thought it was good, don’t get me wrong, but not conmesurate with the hype surrounding it.
Pretty much my thoughts…
I think it’s probably a lot easier to act batshit insane than it is to act some of these other characters. But that’s just my lay man’s view

Whoops: Colt McCoy no know rules.
Texas quarterback Colt McCoy didn’t realize the football must hit something before the clock stops when he tossed away a pass at the end of Longhorns’ 13-12 victory against Nebraska — a gaffe that nearly left his team with no time to kick the game-winning field goal.
McCoy says he thought the clock stop on a pass out of bounds as soon as it crossed the first down marker. Had he known the rule, he says, he wouldn’t have floated a long and high pass over the bench area that didn’t touch down until it appeared to hit a railing near the stand

According to TCU baseball coach Jim Schlossnagle, most of the enthusiastic crowd shots were whipped up and canned well before the show began, of fans who had no idea where they were going or who they were going to play (emphasis added):

There’s a bar in Boston which has a street-side mural of Vinatieri kicking the winning FG during the Tuck Rule game. I hated walking past, but this was back in 2004 and I had to support a Niner fan through the crisis (and this was her local bar). Raider Nation! (well, actually Asomugha Nation)
Time in Boston reinforced my inner grinch and now I can’t stand the Sox or the Pats (or the largely blameless Celtics) on principle alone. So … jealous.
You can bask happily in the knowledge that the Pats will never win another Super Bowl, due to the Curse of Vinatieri.

Buy You A Drank shouldn’t be on there. It’s just a fun, catchy song. There are way worse songs that were just as popular. Hell, there are worse T-Pain songs that were just as popular. “Chopped and Screwed” comes to mind.
- on that topic: The dirty little secret that people don’t know is that T-Pain can actually sing, and sing well. Auto-Tune doesn’t help much if you can’t sing. Look at Kanye’s “Love Lockdown.” That song STILL sounds awful with Auto-Tune because Kanye. Can’t. Sing. THAT song should be on the list, what a waste of my brain cells. T-Pain, in my opinion, uses Auto-Tune so much because he likes the sound of it – and is content to let people say what they want ‘cause he’s gettin’ paid, so who cares what critics say? Also, the dude is a master salesman. Just smart.
I don’t hate Lady Gaga – did at first, but have grown to like her. Not everything is gold, to be sure, but I love her theatricality and I’d say the album’s worth buying. That said, ‘Poker Face’ is the weakest of her singles. “Bad Romance” is just an awesome song. Deal with it.
CGB: Wasting Your Potential, Your Time, & Your Life Since 2006.
Oh no you didn't
I like T-Pain, but I can understand how some think Buy You A Drank is over-the-top cheesy. That said, everyone has heard T-Pain without autotune. It’s called “Low” with Flo Rida.
Lady Gaga is annoying by now, both due to overexposure, as well as her image and the fact that all her songs are starting to sound the same. Yes, I liked Just Dance when it first came out. We all did. But by the time it reached LoveGame, I was so over her.
Final note, Kanye is a great rapper.
7
Tell Kanye to stick to rap, then, and not to attempt singing. Also, he’s no Lupe Fiasco.
As for Lady Gaga, I think her releases have gotten steadily better. I was not a fan of Poker Face, and I’m still not. Just Dance is just okay. Her last two releases, “Paparazzi” and “Bad Romance” were the ones that got me listening.
I can see how people can think “Buy U A Drank” is over -the-top and cheesy. That’s because the song is exactly that – but 10 worst of the decade? Not by a long shot. And if you like, you can go to Youtube and search "t-pain can sing’. You’ll be pleasantly surprised at what you find..

Bitters is an essenced alcohol whose purpose is exactly what you might guess — to add a dash of bitterness to the drink. You can buy these at your liquor store too.
Since you’re new to scotch, I would still recommend going for Glenlivet 12 and saving a little bit of flow.

Irish Whiskey is also a good way to go and will not totally crush your bank account

At some point, give absinthe a try. It’s really interesting and different, both in taste and preparation, from anything else I’ve had. Plus, if you’ve got champagne, you can make a Death in the Afternoon.

Oh come on, you have to drink buckets of the stuff for that. Having it as part of a cocktail doesn’t do any damage.
I tried two new cocktails last night: The REveillon, which was billed as a “winter” cocktail (because it was in the mid-50s in New Orleans, brrr) and The Lion’s Tail.
I didn’t care for the Reveillon that much – the pimento dram made it taste like someone went mental with the allspice on a stir fry. The Lion’s Tail, on the other hand, was dangerously good, which is why I stopped short at that point. Well, that and an early meeting.
Really? Absinthe should be a very light green or greenish blue if you make it right. And it does taste a bit like licorice. I enjoyed it, anyway.

He is relatively calm compared to many, but the little things still add up. Last night he’s up at 5 a.m. or so ready to feed, strangely crying thru that, so I head to the couch, next thing I know it’s 9:30 a.m. and I’m late for “work”. It’s all good tho, just soooooo tired often.

I’m at the point where a full nights sleep (~7h) is not enough. I’m always tired and have been drinking coffee regardless of what country it’s coming from. People at “work” comment on how tired I look. My wife and I rotate shifts and thankfully we’re down to one shift a night. We’re looking forward to the 9 pm —> 7 AM business.

yeah probavbly more my generation or the generation before me. I’m technically in Gen Y, not Gen X. Apparently Gen Xers tended to have not gotten along w their famliies b/c both parents worked and were rarely at home.. blah blah blah.
btw
your generation is called the New Millenials… i think. Depends if you were born in the 80s or 90s. I’m not kidding.
I’ve also heard this age group referred to as ‘Generation ME’, since apparently we’re all spoiled and attention getting with our MySpaces and twittering.
I think it’s just a dick move.
Ragnarok: Great Man or Greatest Man?
Quite the dick move. I’ve heard it too but have to agree in my case. I’m a fairly selfish person and I love my Facebook account.
selfish in the sense that at my age, my mother was raising three children, working, cooking for the famly, and getting her MBA. I’m soooo not anywhere close to her level of sacrifice and family togetherness.
My mom is better than your mom
My mom changed carrers, went back to school while holding down a job, cooked for and raised three kids AFTER she had a stroke (albeit several months after but she has after effects to this day.)
Gen X— baby boomers (Twist?)
Gen Y— echo boomers, New Millenials, Millenials, Generation Next (born in late 70’s/80s—majority of folks here?)
Gen Z— born in the 90s (rollonubears)
RR22, since it’s your birthday i won’t make a snarky comment. You’re in generation awesome! :) Happy birthday honey!!!
Baby Boomers are one generation ahead of me (I’m Gen-X – usually considered 1965-1975 births) – in fact Gen X is under populated.
Baby Boomers were the Baby Boom after WWII (hence the name) – 1950 – 1965. Bill Clinton’s generation.
Although I really feel Gen X was defined by the second half of the generation (like me) – I don’t really see my older cousins as part of this generation. I mean instead of wearing flannel and listening to depressing music from Seattle, their college music was the Joshua Tree.
Friends additionally lowered the bar on television comedy to the point where a reasonably attractive person saying something quirky to hammer home a personality trait is now considered a joke, resulting in Two and A Half Men.

St. Thomas and the Portuguese, though.
by Yes We Cannon on Dec 10, 2009 2:01 PM PST up reply actions
St. Thomas established a Christian colony on the eastern coast of India, which was Catholic in liturgy but didn’t merge with the Latin/Roman church until one or two hundred years ago. The Portuguese, in the same area, also established a lot of Catholic churches, but with a slightly different liturgy.
IIRC the St. Thomas Christians can legitimately claim they’re following a tradition directly descended from one of the apostles, who happens not to be St. Peter. I think that’s really interesting.
This is all based on stuff I learned years ago; I’m sure wikipedia will do a better job.

Did you wonder if dball was finally too loose to be online?
Did you wonder if my Colombian wife finally finished me off with a Colombian necktie?
Did you wonder if I had finally chopped off my balls and joined that convent in the hills?
Probably not.
But it did make me feel better believing that you were wondering all of those things.
First, it was my birthday……yay, happy burfday, dballisloose! Yes, like all the good people on this site, I too am a Sagittarius.
No, my balls are not loose, nor do I have LUPUS. Lupus is for kids, silly rabbit.
What really happened was that I needed time off to contemplate Cal sports, both the basketball and the football teams, and put in perspective what being a Cal fan really meant….or rather how much emotional and mental real estate Cal sports should be taking up in my head.
I still haven’t found any answers, so I thought I’d give up my commune and come back to reality. Its good to be back….even if for just a week. I’m heading to South America, so this is just a brief homecoming. Okay, I’ve bored you enough and if you’ve made it this far into my post, you’re an idiot.

One day — said Mr. Lincoln — when I first came here, I got into a fit of musing in my room and stood resting my elbows on the bureau. Looking into the glass it struck me what an awfully ugly man I was. The fact grew on me and I made up my mind that I must be the ugliest man in the world. It so maddened me that I resolved, should I ever see an uglier, I would shoot him on sight. Not long after this, Andy — naming a lawyer present — came to town and the first time I saw him I said to myself, ‘There’s the man.’ I went home, took down my gun and prowled around the streets waiting for him. He soon came along. ‘Halt, Andy,’ said I, pointing the gun at him; ’say your prayers, for I am going to shoot you.’ ‘Why, Mr. Lincoln, what’s the matter? What have I done?’ ‘Well, I made an oath that if I ever saw an uglier man than I am I’d shoot him on the spot. You are uglier; sure; so make ready to die.’ ‘Mr. Lincoln, do you really think that I am uglier than you?’ ‘Yes.’ ‘Well, Mr. Lincoln,’ said Andy deliberately and looking me squarely in the face, ‘if I am any uglier, fire away.’

Then you probably don’t know that there is a 1925 comedy in which the climactic scenes were shot at Memorial Stadium during halftime of the first Big Game played in Berkeley. It’s called “The Freshman” and stars Harold Lloyd, who is a dweeby little guy who wants to play on his college football team. The campus scenes were shot at USC. But they filmed the big football game finale at Cal (for the wide shots with the big crowds) and the Rose Bowl (for the close-ups, with extras sitting in the first couple of rows). Apparently, they wanted to be sure there would be a huge crowd, and they knew that the first Big Game at Memorial would be sold out.

Biggest deal is whether or not the dog is already potty-trained, house-broken, crate-trained. In some regards, an older dog is easier if all of that is already done. However, an older dog may also have bad habits that can be tough to un-train. (like chewing things, spraying inside the house, etc) A puppy is a lot of work. It really is like having a newborn baby in the house. You have to take them out to potty in the middle of the night, and have the time to reinforce proper behavior. On the other hand, it can be more special because it’s absolutely your puppy. In fact, it becomes more like your kid because of everything you do with care and upkeep.
Having done both, I’d do the puppy if you have plenty of time between you and your wife to take care of it. This means sacrificing sleep, going to classes (as needed), cleaning up messes/accidents,etc. If you can’t commit the time, don’t do it. You’ll just end up frustrated.
An older dog can save a lot of time…but you have to be careful about bad habits. Some of the rescue groups, shelters, or breeders actually let you spend some time with the dog first before making the adoption final. I’d do that if possible. Good luck.

This – just an additional note that Rags and I adopted Ragsdog from a shelter when he was all grown up. We’ve had no trouble retraining him and he’s a very well behaved dog. The only downsides are that we have yet to train him out of eating things he finds on the street – since he was a stray. Ant-filled burger on frat-row was the worst.
Ragnarok: Great Man or Greatest Man?
Our rescued dog is like that too. He will eat anything moving or otherwise. Plus, we’ve never been able to break him of his habit of occasionally marking territory at home. (sigh)
Our non-rescued dog whom we’ve had as a puppy will eat anything on the street too. I think it’s genetic, since I’m fairly sure I’ve never trained him to eat burritos, dead pigeons, used condoms, and anything else found on the streets of Oakland.
Just hope he didn’t go at the dog park in front of all the other owners…

Neither Notre Dame nor Cincinnati has confirmed that Kelly has accepted an offer to coach the Fighting Irish, and Kelly could not be reached for comment, but the sources tell Mortensen that Kelly is Notre Dame’s choice to replace the fired Charlie Weis.

So does that mean that Collaros shouldn’t be my first round pick in College Fantasy Football next year?

Not knowing anything about the deets or about coaching success, on the surface it sounds like ND jumped on whatever hot name was at the top of the annual coaching carousel.

Too much funny: Harbaugh hires his dad as interim running back coach
Wonder how that conversation went.
Stanford will have a second Harbaugh on the coaching staff for the Brut Sun Bowl.
Head coach Jim Harbaugh said Thursday that he’s hired his dad, Jack, to be the interim running backs coach for the Cardinal’s first bowl game since 2001. He replaces Willie Taggart, who was hired last month as the head coach at Western Kentucky, his alma mater.
Jack Harbaugh has previously coached at Western Michigan and Western Kentucky, where he won a national championship in the Football Championship Subdivision (Division I-AA).

Oregon State is determined to start slow again next year
Kurt (Oregon)
Ted, there’s a report (http://www.gazettetimes.com/sports/beavers-sports/article_5a204688-e172-11de-8a74-001cc4c002e0.html) that Oregon State may well end up playing TCU in Cowboys Stadium to open the season next year. If so, that would give them road games at TCU and Boise State in the first three games of the year. Do you think that’s a wise move? If so, why?
Ted Miller (3:24 PM)
I think it’s a terrible idea… once again, the Pac-10 is over-scheduling… UCLA, Washington, Oregon State, etc… teams should do an A,B, C plan… one good team, one middling team and one sure win.

They are thinking that football revenue has grown from $21 million to $87 million a year in the 11+ years he’s been at Texas so they can afford to be nice to him.

An insect falls into a mug of beer….
Englishman : Throws his mug away and walks out
American : Takes the insect out and drinks the beer
Chinese : Eats the insect and throws the beer away
Indian : Sells the beer to the American and insect to the Chinese and gets a new mug of beer.
Pakistani : Accuses the Indian for throwing insect into his beer. Relates the issue to Kashmir. Asks the Chinese for Military aid. Takes a loan from the American to buy one more mug of beer.
Remember, the enemy's end zone is DOWN!

So I made my purchase
Glenlivet 15 Single malt scotch whiskey
some sweet vermouth
Some California Chardonnay
Cheap ass vodka
Dos Equis 6 pack
They were sold out of bitters.
In other words, Go Bears!
Is it just me, or do these DBDs just sorta die as soon as the 1K comment mark is hit?
So, basically, you gotta Go Bears!
I’m getting the feeling people are aiming for a thousand, than taking the rest of the day off.

Its just unfortunate, AERose, that you are stopped by the AERose Topic Production Act of 2009 from starting your OWN topics. I dont know why the CGB Congress ever passed that act.
