Not like it really matters. Hand is pretty much already headed to Ann Arbor. Nothing new on them in these reports.
I will be! At least I better be. The next courses I'm taking will be tough, though, Linear Galloping and Theory of Hay.
I'll be headed to Blacksburg before that at some point, though.
UCLA
VT - Close for a half, but I think we wear them down in the trenches and give their quarterback his first taste this season of what a real Defense looks like. 14-17 point win.
Oregon - This is going to get out of hand quickly.
Bama - the 12th man is fired up, but Saban wins by about 10.

2. Even if everything in the article is true, there is very little the NCAA can do about it. There is a 4-year statute of limitations, and basically everything in the article happened more than 4 years ago.
Not entirely true. If the NCAA can find evidence showing a prolonged and continuous collection of violations that occurred within the statute of limitations and began outside of the 4-year window, then that information becomes enforceable.
Given the NCAA's inability to gather concrete evidence due to their amateur investigative team and tactics - plus the fact that people are willing to speak with reporters but rarely-if-ever willing to speak with enforcement officials - I am skeptical as to how much of this results in penalties. Only time will tell...
Agree on the Moorehead prognosis. Also think we all agree by now that coach Grimes has been an excellent, excellent hire.
UCLA wins by at least a touchdown because Nebraska hasn't been able to defend a mobile quarterback since Suh left
Tech by at least 2 touchdowns because we haven't seen all of Loeffler's offense yet
Oregon because the Ducks are as tired of hearing about "SEC speed" as everyone else
Bama by at least 2 touchdowns because aTm has no defense
Ole Miss wins because GERG
Wiscy outright because Gary Anderson is a better coach than you
UCLA (but only covering the spread)
VT because we'll pitch a shutout and score more than 7.5 points
Oregon because duh
A&M covering the spread, but Bama will win by 3 or so
Texas
Wisconsin but I could be easily persuaded otherwise by the girls pictured above
Nail on the head, man. Even with the picks LT has thrown, I like what I've seen by and large. The difference in attitude between last year and this year on the entire team (but especially the offense) is tremendous. I think almost all of it is the attitude of the coaches being reflected in the players. That's RESPECT in action. Leadership...it'll get after ya.

Huskers cover
Hokies win but the Pirates keep it within 7
The Ducks burn Smoky by at least 28
Johnny gets pounded and the Tide gets the W and the points
I thought the Horns but with a new coordinator...Rebs get the W
ASU runs away with it. Their co-eds are hot and the Badgers'll be bothered.
I live in New England, and like many of you I remember what a beautiful morning it was walking into work. The air was so fresh, and it felt good to be alive. I was preparing for an executive strategy meeting when my boss, the company president, came in to tell me that a plane had hit the WTC. At that point, we thought it was an accident. Moments later he returned to tell us about the second plane, and then we knew it was no accident. We gathered in a conference room to watch the Towers fall and hear the reports from the Pentagon and Shanksville. We tried to carry on with the strategy session, but how could you plan the future when the world was clearly turning upside down? One of my colleagues in the meeting had traveled from England, and we had a great deal of difficulty getting him home. We finally had him driven to Montreal that Friday as planes were barely flying again. We had employees stranded all over the U.S. One salesman was in Chicago for a trade show and found a rental car to carpool back to Massachusetts in. For months afterwards, rental cars were in the wrong locations because of the multitude of one way rentals. One of my Darden classmates perished in the South Tower. He was a smart, fun guy and much beloved by his family and community. It may have been 12 years ago, but the mix of anguish and anger from that day is amazingly still raw.

8th grade English class at blacksburg middle school. They brought us all into one class and sat us down and told us what happened. I literally couldn't believe that it was happening. As a kid america still had that air of untouchability to it. I honestly didn't even think it was real
Does a "rouge booster" pay athletes to wear makeup? (Sorry, couldn't resist.) Sam Rogers scares the makeup off of the other teams cheerleaders.

This is awesome. Thank you! My football knowledge is so much greater now than before I started coming to TKP.
UCLA wins
Hokies win by 10
Ducks beat the spread for the third week in a row.
Bama wins but aTm covers
Ole Miss wins
Gotta go with Wisconsin to win outright, but the lovely young ladies pictured above make me wish there was a university level of lingerie league football.
I was 8 years old, 3rd grade class in Brunswick Acres Elementary in central NJ. I was a little young so things are a bit vague, but all I remember was that kids kept getting called out of class to go home...first 1 then another and before I knew it 75% of the class had gone home. We had heard about a plane crash in NY, but being 8 I really didn't think anything of it. After school I was glued to the tv, really unable to comprehend what I was seeing. Hard to believe it was 12 years ago.

I remember getting to my office and sitting down in the bright sunshine, and it was so quiet, I fell asleep for about 15 minutes. It was a perfect day outside, not a cloud in the sky. Moved around, got a cup of coffee to wake up a bit, sat down to do some work. Normally, I'm getting a few calls in the morning, but that morning the phones were silent. A guy that I worked with called me and told me that "They've bombed the World Trade Center". This made no sense to me. Who were "They" and why would anyone bomb the WTC? I was able to pull up some news sites, and the radio filled in the gaps in the online stories. I remember the internet being so busy that I had a hard time pulling up some of the sites due to the traffic. Tried making a few phone calls, but the lines were too busy. Had a hard time trying to figure out how to explain all this to my kids, who were 8 and 6 at the time. I remember how eerie it was to not see or hear a plane anywhere in the sky (my house is downrange of Dulles; the planes are usually 20-25K high, but it's like a freeway above me.) I remember the overwhelming sadness for all of the families. It was indeed a sobering day. That day changed us all.
There is nothing that compares to a properly poured pint of Guiness from an extra cold tap in England/Scotland/Ireland. I miss this greatly!
