  1. New York Media is ripping George and The Yankees a new one over not signing Pettite, so the Yankees are probably praying that this deal goes through smoothly.
  2. Well, there goes my credibility Is he as good as Horton though?

    Baseball books

    Veeck as in Wreck The Long Ball True Believers (covers more than just baseball though) Historical Baseball Abstract (good, but takes some patience) Eight Men Out Also, I just finished reading the latest John Grisham novel, "Bleachers". It was tremendous, and I recommend it to Grisham fans.

    I don't want to be a wet blanket on your party, but from what I've heard, UofHawaii manao is mostly a commuter school. So the parties may not be diesel.
  5. Boise St. over TCU Texas Tech over Navy Michigan over USC
  6. We'll see who is laughing when Michigan wins their 20th game, and MSU is still dicking around to find a point gaurd!

    well my dad is a huge sox fan too, so the sox cover our entire family. It is definately a small world, as soon as you said you studied secondary math, I knew he had some math courses, so I thought there was an outside chance that you would know him.

    I don't know what else to major in. My biggest academic interests are writing, sports (hardly academic), and history...that leaves journalism and teaching as the only possible majors. And I don't think I would be a good teacher, I am too inclined to get off topic and tell stories

    My friend just got rejected from MSU. I was surprised because he had a pretty solid transcript. He got an 1100 on the SAT, has a b average and is involved in a lot of activities, I guess his essay wasn't too attractive.

    I am planning on majoring in journalism, or communications, that makes Missouri a top choice. Journalism and communications are offered at just about every school I have taken an interest in (except for Pitt.). As far as local schools go, most schools in the Northeast are small, which does not interest me. I also want to go back to the midwest, so bigten schools really appeal to me. Being from NJ is one of the worst things that can appear on a college transcript, because we send more students out of state than any other state, and schools are flooded with New Jersians. This is mostly because of the lack of strong universities in NJ. Rutgers is the only large school in NJ, and they are flooded with so many NJ applications, that they have raised their standards. Even if I can get my SAT score in the upper 12 range (I got a 1220 on the PSAT) I would still not be a "shoe in" at Rutgers. I am taking an SAT class and I plan on doing some intense studying to try to get the score to 1300, which could get me a slim chance of getting into UMich.

    Where did you go? Where are you currently going? or, Where do you want to go? I just got my PSAT scores back to day, so I am in a college mood. I would love to go to Michigan, but it is a reach, a pretty far one at that. Otherwise, I am thinking Missouri, DePaul, pretty much any big ten school (excluding NW which I don't have a prayer at getting into).
  15. I am retracting my statement I forgot that the Jayhawks made a bowl this year.

    A woman's dream

    Bighurt, being a fellow tri-state area resident you are probably familiar with the Z-morning-zoo. I don't know if you listen often but one of the hosts (I believe it was Danielle) said she not only can pee through the fly, but she can also use a urinal . The reason they were talking about women peeing through the fly is because of the product that Sox4life linked us to.
  18. A conversation between Nixon and Haldeman Two very prude, honest, and trustworthy gentleman. As far as I know, the reasons Nixon had most white house conversations taped were 1) He was paranoid, 2) He thought they would be great for posterity (not knowing they would also be great for booting him out of the office ). So if Nixon had decided conversations must be taped, than why did he curse so much, why did he speak of others in unkind ways, and why did he talk about sensitive issues?
  19. I am currently doing a stockmarket project in school, and I bought into ebay and amazon, and the two combined to lose almost $4 last wednesday. The market may be going up but my stocks are eyeing the toilet.
  20. Actually he did pay for pitching (navarro ) Hindsight is 20/20. Clemens was coming off of a horrid year, it looked like his best days were behind him. Navarro was coming off of a 17 win season.
  21. Isreal will never collapse. It may be going through harsh times, but I think numerous countries, INCLUDING this one, would intervene on Isreal's behalf.

  23. Collapse of government and economy, horrible. Collapse of satellite states, did soem definate harm. So all of the sudden it is ok to lose your nuclear weapons? The gaurds just left? I understand what was going on in Russia in the early 90's. Political chaos. So how do you lose something like a nuclear weapon. Only 4 suitcase nukes were made (I believe that is the figure). So obviously these were not spread out among the random isolated outposts in eastern russia where a corrupt gaurd could just hand it to an islamic radical for money. When they are so precious that there are only 4 in existence they are more likely to be somewhere in a vault in a large base. So it is not inevitable that it is 'misplaced' only stupidity could land something like that in the hands of a terrorist. I don't consider myself soul-less or greedy, and I don't think of myself as a cretin. But I am a yankee
  24. Its the cubs, c'mon they will find a way to screw it up
