  1. This year? No. I don't see him having more than 2-3 good years left in him though.

    I thought the movie focused quite a bit about how the FBI was on to Oswald but then got lazy and let him go. I also thought they had Oswald hearing another gunshot just a couple seconds after his own, as he was starting to flee, as if they were trying to say that there was a second gunman, but not connected to Oswald in any way.
  3. Maybe if the state had pursued an appropriate charge instead of going for a murder conviction they knew they could never get, he'd be in jail right now and the other stuff wouldn't have happened.
  4. Update on this situation: Law enforcement has stopped hunting for a suspect and has determined that the victim made the entire story up.
  5. Portugal 1-0 Sweden Ukraine 2-0 France Greece 3-1 Romania US-Scotland still scoreless at 80' in an absolutely dreadful game.
  6. Good day to have ESPN3. Four Euro WC qualifiers plus a US friendly at Scotland.
  7. Sorry, I didn't realize that BP had their minions monitoring this site.
  8. Perhaps you could copy the article here for those of us who don't subscribe to BP?
  9. I'm not sure where they got their percentages for that piece. It's definitely different for HS, college, and pro. You can make a very easy argument that you should never punt if you are beyond your own 40 yard line, but there are clearly plenty of situations in college and the NFL where punting is better than going for it. I think the big difference in high school is that the amount of field position gained on a punt is much less than in higher levels.
  10. Thank god for government regulations!
  11. The "correct answer" to you, and not to any single other person I've ever met.
  12. He was an announcer for ND games in 1993. Got to meet him on the field before games a couple times.
  13. I hope you aren't going for a degree in acronyms.
  14. "I don't go to Cubs games just because of Wrigley Field" = "I read Playboy for the articles"
  15. Many libertarians/fiscal conservatives will tell you that roads/infrastructure is one of the best ways for government to spend its money. It's just this modern ultra-right tea party group that's trying to get everybody to believe that all government spending is bad.
  16. Well, you are talking about 5-10 teams that are actually good enough to win a championship. Every team from a BCS conference has a chance if they can go undefeated. It's teams like NIU that can go 13-0 and not even play for a championship that make the system so messed up.
  17. You can't have a sport with 100+ teams and a 13 game season where every team has a chance to win a championship, regardless of the system. The only way for every team to have a chance to win the championship is to pare down the top division to 70 teams.
  18. I can't find the exact number right now, but their schedule strength ranked in the teens, so I guess if only ten teams are allowed to consider their schedules difficult, then yes, it was not difficult.
  19. You don't have a f***ing clue what you're talking about. ND beat Wake Forest 38-0 and pulled most of their starters in the 3rd quarter. Also, ND's schedule matched up with anybody's. Final BCS Rankings: Stanford 6, Oklahoma 11, Michigan 18.
  20. Who deserved it more? Florida lost to a Georgia team that Alabama beat and then Florida got destroyed by a Big East team. Oregon lost to a Stanford team that ND beat. Kansas State got destroyed by Baylor and then by Oregon. If Notre Dame didn't deserve to be in the title game, then nobody did. The problem is the way conference tie-ins and bowl payouts work. MAC teams either get the big bucks in a BCS Bowl or next to nothing and a Sun Belt opponent in the GoDaddy Bowl. What NIU really deserves is something like a game against Michigan in the Outback Bowl, but the only two things they can get are something way above that or way below that. EDIT: Oh, and if NIU does get into a BCS bowl and somebody like Clemson is left out and is whining about it, here is my message to Clemson: Grow a pair and go to DeKalb and beat them next September and then you aren't in this position next year. Until Top 20 teams are willing to schedule home-and-home with teams like NIU, Fresno, or Boise, then I have absolutely no sympathy for them when those teams take their BCS spots.
  21. My wife's grandfather, a 90 year old WWII vet who fought at Normandy, died last night. Not very many WWII vets left.
  22. The same guy who voted Scherzer 3rd voted Sale 1st. Not sure how you justify that one. Sale had an amazing year, but Scherzer beat him in pretty much every category.
  23. Our district does HS first, then MS, then ES. That's why the teenage girl was out before it is light. My son is in Kindergarten and he doesn't get on his bus until 8:30 so light is never an issue for him. Still, if we were on Central time like we're supposed to be, everybody would be getting on the bus in the light.
