Not only that....look what he said on November 10th: http://www.wholehogsports.com/adg/172550/ Yet that is exactly what he did. He actually went beyond that, and put Florida #1. Can we please not have complete morons deciding who does and doesn't get to play in games that generate hundreds of millions of dollars?

I agree. I had hoped for 8-8 this year, saying that would be a successful season. 7-9 is more what I expected, and that is pretty much a non-disappointing season. 5-11 or 6-10 might leave a bit more of a bitter taste, although it would help our draft position.

Wow, the BCS really crapped the bed here. Its pretty clear that college football is a popularity contest, and nothing else. The funny thing is, the Rose Bowl is going to be far and away the most entertaining of the 5 BCS games. Florida doesn't stand a chance against Ohio State. Yes, Michigan got totally snubbed, but the Rose Bowl is still big for them. But ND in a BCS bowl? WHAT? If LSU isn't favored by 21 points in that game, then I'll bet on it. I know some of you on here are ND fans, but honestly, do they have a prayer in this game based on past performance in big games this year?

Yikes! Thats one of my favorite places to eat. There is one in NYC now, but it not the same, it feels like a TGI fridays. The original is the best.

How about ones where the original game was good? Go UCLA

Its funny, I would feel bad for the kids....but then I hear the announcers. I'm pretty sure one of them shot their dog after that game.

Cool, that means more tailgating. Is a crowd from this board going to be there?

Yeah, I was in there...the section was kinda quiet for the 1st period, but got rolling in the 2nd. I love how Rangers fans don't know what to do when we cheer, so they just end up booing their own team

Come on, stop talking playoffs. We aren't there yet....I know 2 wins in a row is exciting, but I still think 8-8 would be a successful season for us. If we win a few more in a row, then you can talk about playoffs.

Heh, I never thought of it that way, but I think you are right. There is something really off about it. You going Sunday? I'll be there in my white #5 Ramsey jersey

Ever been to a NY Rangers game? The song they play when they score a goal makes puts....well, basically anything to shame, its that horrifyingly bad.

And, predictably, TMQ lays into both Jauron and Kubiak for that ridiculous sequence:

I saw it. Yeah, yeah, the girlfriend wanted to see it. It wasn't bad though, had kinda a dark overtone to it with the way people acted, I thought.

What are the odds of any NFL coach calling a pass play on 3rd and 2 even though you are averaging 7 yards a rush? In _any_ sitation that is a bad play call, but especially so when you can use up the other team's last timeout with under 2 minutes to play.

Who are you people? Yes, yesterday's game was sweet. But don't kid yourselves....we ain't making the playoffs this year.

Yeah, I liked it....it seemed to kind of catch the flavor of buffalo, to "Go Bills" sign on the house, the gray weather, the salt guy wearing Bills gear. Some old footage of a snowy Bills-Dolphins game on a TV somewhere would have made it ever sweeter. Too bad they didn't show the Dolphins going home with their tails between their legs.

The fact of the matter is, the _ONLY_ reason that worked is because houston tried a pass on 3rd down, and it went incomplete. I'm willing to bet that TMQ will call out houston for that play...as he always says, sometimes running up the middle for no gain is the best thing to do. Houston didn't do that, and they lost. If Houston didn't have a moronic coaching staff, Jauron would have looked like a fool for punting.

I didn't see the game, but read somewhere that Williams was lined up against Pennington, not Peters. So it might have been their other DE.

Yeah, I think Jauron really blew it by punting there in the 4th quarter. He just got super, super lucky that the Texans coaching staff is dumber than he is, and threw the ball.

Every real cop wants that. Its been my experience though, that university cops go out looking for something to happen when nothing really exists. No, not all of them, but quite a lot of them have a huge inferiority complex and they want to exercise their power whether they should or not.

Well, it sounds like you read similar stuff to me...I just finished Anansi Boys as well, and I love the Martin series. Do you read any Neal Stephenson? I just finished Zodiac, and thought it was one his best books outside of the Baroque Cycle, which were also fantastic books. I'm also currently reading "Under the Banner of Heaven" by Jon Krakauer. Its non-fiction about fundamentalist Mormons, but its really fascinating and isn't dry like a lot of non-fiction...I can't put it down.

I don't know that the cable companies would offer any better customer service, but there are literally millions of people who can't watch our favorite NFL teams at home because of the deal with directv. I'd happily spend the money on it (i spend way more going to sports bars), but i live in an apartment. IMHO, I'm in a major demographic that the NFL should really be going after....mid 20's, not married, no kids, disposable income and time on my hands to watch/go to football games. I'm willing to bet that a large majority of that demographic lives in urban areas in apartments where directv is not an option.

The first two Carolina goals were really jokes. The first one, the Canes player clearly just ran Marty, and the puck went in of the skater's arm, which should have been disallowed but wasn't. The second goal was set up by a blatant interference on the defenseman by cole, which went un-called. So, the canes got some momentum on those....but when it came down to crunch time, the better team showed up.

Yes, they do. They are not allowed to wear a suit, they must wear team apparel. So, coaches are in fact encouraged by the league to look like fat slobs.

For those of us who didn't see it....what did they do?
