I have one selfish reason for writing this and that is that I'm looking for four more players for a fantasy football league that drafts at 2pm today. If you're into this sort of thing, we'd a) love to have you, and b) be grateful to not have to look for anyone else.
If you're interested, the yahoo league id is 557181 and the password is 12345.
Now, onto other important things such as:
College president fired for being an idiot
Chad Ocho-Cinco, cool or not so much?
Battle of the Jessicas, Alba or Biel?
As a University of Arizona grad student, do I have to change my loyalties from the Ducks to the Wildcats when the two teams play?
Shawne Merriman, will he suffer an injury 5x worse than the one he has now this season? Will he deserve it?

I don't know about the Wildcats/Ducks thing
but the UW has rejected me twice, so even though I’m from Seattle, the Huskies are pretty much dead to me.

The DBacks are apparently considering trading for David Eckstein.
I don’t know why, because we have our own.

And there it is, they traded some guy named Chad Beck for Eckstein.

It was simply a publicity stunt on his part anyway
He had no real serious intentions of anything, no matter what he told the media.

Would you have made it as a grad student to Arizona without UO? Always a duck man!

and if you know anybody in Tucson that wants to buy a house about 5 min away from campus let me know.

I might, but I wouldn't want it until August '09.
I’ll keep my ears open, though.

If you went to UO for 4 years (or two if you transfered from CC)...
then I say they should still hold your allegiance. I have a friend who went to WSU with me, but now is going to UW for grad school (only because he has a family now and wants to stay close to home). He’s still a Coug!

Chad Ocho Cinco is my new favorite athlete.
Pure genius. People may think he is dumb, but he can always change it back after his career is over. And how does Cassius Clay change his name to Muhammad Ali when Cassius Clay is such a freaking cool name? Maybe Chad Ocho Cinco converted to Spanish. Also, I love how the NFL is “looking into it” as if they can somehow stop Chad from putting Ocho Cinco on the back of his jersey.
Biel definitely has the better body, but Alba has the better looks above the shoulders. I would take either, though, no questions asked.
Grad school does not change your loyalties to your old school.
Merriman is an idiot and deserves to have his leg severed. Seriously, I don’t think the Chargers are that good and it is not worth risking his career for an upcoming disappointing season.

Wow, those are completely not even remotely similar situations
Ali changed his name because of his faith. Johnson changed his name because he’s kind of a douchebag.

Kind of a douchebag, yes, but also kind of hilarious.

OK, so I'm off to heckle Carl Everett at the LI Ducks game.
My first one is going to be “How do you like knowing that the Ms wanted Vidro to DH over you?”

So Hawaii's window of legitimacy appears to have been open for one year only.
Also, Va. Tech got knocked off. This makes me happy.

Remeber when the ACC wasn't a terrible conference?

Vaguely, but even then it was top heavy and overrated.

I don't know about Hawaii ever being legitimate
They were a middling team with a gimmick offense that built themselves up against a weak conference.

They were a legit Top 25 team last year.

They beat up on the WAC
Voters love it when you run the table and score 50 points a game.

Did you do your undergrad at Oregon? Because undergrad should always get preference and grad should be 2nd.

I finished my undergrad at UW but that didn't necessarily make me a UW fan
Not that I had much to cheer for at UNLV, but changing schools doesn’t necessarily change chosen allegiances.

You're crazy if you give up your undergrad school for your grad school

I saw the video of Paul Anka doing "Smells Like Teen Spirit"
and found it oddly intriguing. Somewhere between a train wreck J-Pop.

Shawne Merriman is very, very dumb.
I look forward to watching him, because he’s absolutely awesome and perhaps the most entertaining defensive player in the NFL, but this could kill his post-2009 payday. And his whole career.
I really hope he gets out there and just doesn’t feel right and makes the smart choice.

What
UW only trailing 14-10 at halftime despite getting outgained 2 to 1, punting 5 times and only one Oregon turnover.
Someone who is watching the game, WTF is going on?
by Gomez on Aug 30, 2008 8:53 PM PDT reply actions 0 recs
Oregon just making mistakes.
Mastoli looks out of sync.
Receivers dropping some balls.
Balls being thrown behind guys / overthrown.
Locker is carrying UW.
