If nothing else, Obama really is the world's biggest celebrity. And the world's biggest celebrity is an unabashed White Sox fan. Gotta capitalize on it.

Brackins drops 38. I have to imagine he'll crack 40 this year.

I was hoping I could see Colvin on tv tonight...

Who the heck is Cavic?

Yeah, same here, it was like below zero for the longest time. Last night it was 48 at 1 AM with incredibly thick fog. I think 2008 in terms of weather for Iowa won't be topped for a while.

Best I can claim, in a game without fire rules, is me sinking my first five and my partner sinking his first four.

I normally don't give two craps about MMA/UFC, but former ISU LB Justin Eilers was found murdered yesterday....

Merry Danksmas to all.

How deep? Balls deep.

QUOTE (fathom @ Dec 23, 2008 -> 08:59 PM) No one on Iowa St would even start for Gonzaga, who lost to Portland State tonight. I don't know, a 7 point home loss to South Dakota State, a team that was Division 2 two years ago, still pretty s***ty.

QUOTE (fathom @ Dec 23, 2008 -> 08:50 PM) I repeat...no coach gets less from the talent they have on their roster than Mark Few. Greg McDermott wants to be in that team picture.

QUOTE (danman31 @ Dec 23, 2008 -> 07:44 PM) Your other line was way better. "the 5-8 jackrabbits. which is also, ironically, their average height" This s*** is so painful.

Much like I told Dan, I'm going to take Greg McDermott deep into the woods and leave him someplace where he cannot keep hurting our basketball program. Losing at home to the South Dakota State Jackrabbits. Ugh.

No.

Joe Flacco....great quarterback or greatest quarterback ever?

Egbert was hurt this year and never recovered.

High of -2 today. Tonight: Mostly clear, with a low around -10. Wind chill values as low as -29. West wind between 6 and 14 mph. Monday: Sunny and cold, with a high near 4. Wind chill values as low as -22. West wind at 7 mph becoming south. Monday Night: Snow, mainly after midnight. Low around 3. Wind chill values as low as -16. South wind between 8 and 15 mph. Chance of precipitation is 80%. New snow accumulation of 2 to 4 inches possible. Tuesday: Snow likely. Cloudy, with a high near 21. Wind chill values as low as -12. South wind between 13 and 20 mph, with gusts as high as 28 mph. Chance of precipitation is 70%. New snow accumulation of 1 to 2 inches possible. Gotta love Iowa.

QUOTE (Jimbo's Drinker @ Dec 21, 2008 -> 12:25 AM) They all are. Well, he got a 4 star WR today, so that seems like a good start.

QUOTE (Rex Hudler @ Dec 20, 2008 -> 06:53 PM) Rhoads was considered a pretty good defensive coordinator. Early in the year, Auburn's D didn't miss a beat from last year after losing Muschamp. Once the offense really hit the tank and after some injuries, they just got wore down. Not sure what he will do as a HC, but he was pretty well respected at Pitt before coming to Auburn this year. Who was the NFL guy you were wanting? The link you provided is dead. It was a rumor that we'd gotten Gary Patterson. His press conference was very, very impressive.

Rhoads was an assistant under McCarney. Tuberville wanted to tap him as Auburn's DC, but Rhoads turned him down to stay at Pitt when Tuberville hired Chizik. I have no strong feelings one way or another, to be honest, but our best player said he's staying, so that's nice. Not a bad hire, not a great hire.

Not personally. I know he had some drug issues (ganja) but I don't know if anyone thought he had a realistic shot at pro football besides himself. It's still really sad. We've already lost two starting runningbacks from the 2000s to premature death.

Half the fender benders and what not can be avoided if people realize to be more careful when they turn and to not overcorrect.

Heh, 11 cars in the ditch within the first 15 miles north of Ames on I35.
