| Funny! And a little sad how college football has become so corporate. There used to be some even worse names. The Independence Bowl was sponsored by Poulan and was called something like the 'Poulan Weedwhacker Independence Bowl', aka 'The Weedwhacker Bowl'. The Texas Bowl was sponsored by Gallery Fu... |

| It would be better if the Army won too. Like the Wolverines, a Black Knights win would have secured its bowl place. Sigh. Actually both teams are in a bowl game. Also NAVY RULES! Navy's success the past few years is really impressive, especially considering the service academies are at a big recrui... |

| have to disagree. The BCS system is a terrible idea and is really hurting the sport. It is totally biased in favor of the 'Big Six' conferences. For non-big six teams teams it is very difficult to make the BCS. They have to go undefeated and have 'quality' wins against big six opponents to have a sh... |

| But a pro style offense will prepare one QB better for the rigors of pro football, I think. Nevertheless, the offense system that wins wins. And BubbaHoTep, your location states that your view is really skewed towards the winner of the South Division of Big 12 Conference. Although your statement ha... |

| Hey, I'm a Husker fan, and we were robbed by Texas. It was a good call. When a pass is thrown out of bounds, the rule is the clock stops when the ball hits something. Watch the replay and you'll see there was one second left when the ball hit the railing. Suh's pass rush was a little too good that ... |

| We've though about that too. Fortunately being married the chance of something happening to both of us is pretty unlikely. Even still, I gave a copy of our house key to my parents (they live here in town) and they will stop by and check if they don't hear from us for a day or two. The funeral was to... |

| That's probably how I would have looked at it before I had a child of my own. Now, the thought of anything bad happening to my son or anyone else's child is horrifying beyond belief. This story just tears me up inside. And knowing that before he died the poor little guy ransacked all the kitchen cab... |

And I can't believe none of the neighbors saw anything or heard anything or came to help. http://www.upi.com/NewsTrack/Top_News/2008/01/10/boy_found_dead_next_to_moms_b... |

| 2. Apply for any job that you are even remotely qualified for and take any interview you are offered (phone, in-person, whatever), weather you really want the job or not. The reason- practice! Get used to the interview environment, what sorts of questions to prepare for, get feedback on your resume,... |

| There is an American football coach that I'm convinced has at least mild AS. His name is Mike Leach and he's the head coach of the Texas Tech Red Raiders. Here's an article about him from the New York Times: http://www.nytimes.com/2005/12/04/magazine/04coach.html?ei=5090&en=c9f46201dc95f91d&... |

The skin-to-skin thing hasn't worked very well so far. It triggers his 'rooting' instinct and he quickly figures out that... |
