Nerd Chat with Robert Crais Plus Giveaway of THE FIRST RULE
Though he's busy gearing up for the release of The First Rule next month (January 12), Robert Crais generously took time from shopping for loud socks to do an e-mail interview with me.
If you're already a fan, you know the basics. If not, visit his website for all the dish, then check out his tour schedule.
I'm giving away some goodies, with details below the interview. But first, read on as we discuss Joe Pike, who's center stage in The First Rule. The novel is a blood-pumping, rocket-paced adventure with all the usual Pike-isms, but it also reveals an unexpectedly tender side of him that makes your chest clench a little.
PCN: Since there's a heartrending twist in TFR that I don't want to spoil, I'll just ask vague, possibly irrelevant questions. Hopefully, this will entice people even more to pick up the book to see what the hell I'm talking about.
Pike goes where we've never seen him go emotionally and it changes him. How will that affect his future actions?
Robert Crais: Maybe it won't. Pike has been Pike for a long time, so he's good at repressing his feelings.
PCN: Does he repress his, um, urges, too? I don't recall any girlfriends since Karen Garcia in L.A. Requiem and even she was in flashbacks. When's he gonna get some again?
RC: You offering?
PCN: I'd ruin him. He'd start knitting me sweaters and calling me "Pumpkin." Who would want that? Could he remain an interesting character if he were in a happy relationship?
RC: I doubt it. Part of Pike's appeal is his "other-ness." He's a strange cat and readers like those aspects of his character. If he were "normal," I don't think people would find him as interesting. Could Pike be in a happy relationship? I don't know. He probably wants to be in a happy place, but I don't think he knows how to get there.
PCN: I could draw him diagrams but I don't really want him to go there. Now, some actors do Method Acting. Ever do Method Writing as Pike?
RC: That's how I write. I put myself in his place, feel what he feels, share the moments with him. If I don't feel what Pike feels, if I'm not there in the moment, the scene won't work.
PCN: What does putting yourself in his place entail? Knocking heads, eating vegetables, then running at night with coyotes?
RC: Pike does those things to put himself in MY headspace.
PCN: When he's not on a case with Elvis, at the gun shop, working out or cleaning his Jeep, what does Pike do? Pottery? Watch Glee?
RC: Decorative macramé. It's all the rage. And Pike loves Glee. You going to make fun of him for that? Go ahead—I dare you.
PCN: Nah, I like him more for it, especially if he does the "Single Ladies" routine to warm up before a run. You excel in showing how Pike feels about people and things through his actions so I'm happy with the third-person perspective. Hypothetically, though, could you write him in first person?
RC: Of course. I am the World's Greatest Writer.
PCN: What kind of book would that be?
RC: Short. He doesn't say much.
PCN: In TFR, Elvis goes to eat at the Sidewalk Café in Venice. I'd bet he's there to sample the Robert Crais pizza. Why does your namesake pie have way more meat than the Cormac McCarthy pizza?
RC: Have you eaten me yet? I'm pretty good.
PCN: I have, and thought you were cheesy and meaty. And cheap!
RC: You should tell your readers the Sidewalk Café in Venice is a real place. They named a pizza after me, so I like them a lot. Also, they make a dynamite pie.
PCN: I see you'll be signing at a Costco on tour. Which aisle is your favorite place to sit?
RC: Big screen TVs. There's something to watch after the crowd thins.
PCN: Right, once you tell people where to find hams and batteries. What's the next book about? Is it an Elvis? Standalone?
RC: Another Joe Pike book. I want to write something else, but Pike won't let me.
PCN: Have you publicly announced that anywhere else? Can I claim it as a world exclusive due to my intrepid scoop-breaking abilities?
RC: Probably, but you can tell everyone I'm announcing it here first. I won't tell.
And that concludes my world exclusive scoopy interview. Deep, massive thanks to Robert for chatting and not telling. (To see and hear him read excerpts from TFR, click here.)
Now, for the giveaway…
Prizes and Rules:
Up for grabs is an ARC of The First Rule, which will come gift-wrapped from Lydia at Putnam, who has mad wrapping skills. The winner will be randomly selected.
A second name will be randomly chosen to receive a set of four picture cards, autographed by Robert. (See closeups below.) They feature locations from the Elvis Cole and Joe Pike books—including Elvis's house!—with text from the novels in which they were mentioned.
These aren't available anywhere else because I made them, then ambushed Robert at a restaurant and got him to sign. (If the pictures look familiar, some were used in the video "Elvis Cole's Los Angeles," which can be viewed here.) They can be used as postcards, bookmarks, coasters, refrigerator art, etc. I haven't even offered them to my own mother but will give a set to one of you.
Temporary red arrow tattoos might also be included with the prizes if I can resist putting them all over myself first.
In The First Rule, Joe Pike goes to great lengths to defend the name and memory of his friend, Frank. To enter, answer the following question:
- What's the most heroic thing you've ever done for a friend? This includes acts big and small.
You must also be a:
- U.S. or Canada resident
- subscriber or Twitter follower
New subscribers/followers get 1 entry, current ones get 2, people who tweet about this giveaway (and let me know) get 3 entries. Giveaway ends Dec. 14, 5 p.m. PST.
Winners will be announced only here and via Twitter; no e-mail notifications will be done. If winners don't respond within 48 hours, alternate names will be chosen.
Good luck!

Oh, oh, oh…I'm first, I'm first…Does that make me the First Rule? LOL This was so fantastic, PCN. I love it. I'm at work, laughing out loud, probably set to get in trouble for not doing what I'm supposed to be doing! Ha!!
Most heroic thing I've done? Wow! I don't know if I've done anything I'd consider heroic.
Although I will admit that I'll stand up for people when I think they're being mistreated. I have a thing about hypocrisy. If I don't think something is right, I'll say so. I won't be silent and approve through my silence. That's why I commented to the "reviewer" on his personal attack of an author. Just can't take that.
I also give blood regularly…does that count?
This is fun! Please don't consider me for the book, though. I already have my ARC copy and I'll be buying a final copy when I see the big man in Dayton…hope he's bringing loud and WARM socks when he comes in January!! 🙂
Jen, giving blood and standing up against wrongs definitely count. Sometimes the smaller, everyday acts are more impressive than the big, attention-grabbing ones.
My gosh, I could eat this man with a spoon! Great work, PCN.
I can't think of one heroic thing I've ever done for a friend. I can think of a friend who did something heroic for me. Years ago, in college, I experienced my one and only bout with clinical depression. I didn't know enough to get or be willing to get help. My friend made me withdraw from school temporarily, and took me to her relatives' farm in Kentucky. There I sweated away the summer peeling wallpaper, feeding calves, rounding up the ever-escaping bull, taking lunches to the men working the fields, and walking miles in the worst humidity I've ever experienced. By the time I found a ride back to Columbus at summer's end, the depression was gone. I've never forgotten that my friend put her own life on hold to be with me and help me through that dark time.
Naomi, I'm out of spoons. Can you fork him instead?
Your friend did an amazing thing. I'm glad you got through that dark time. And I'd bet if you keep mulling it over, you'd think of something incredible you did for someone, too.
I also need to add that I'll volunteer to be Joe's date ANYTIME! 🙂
Okay, most heroic thing to defend a friend's honor/name:
A close friend in college lit the curtains in his room on fire. He was threatened with expulsion and I said that it was an accident, then they threatened me with expulsion, but I wouldn't back down. He ended up leaving voluntarily.
Doesn't sound all that heroic now, I suppose. Still count?
Um, did your friend set the curtains on fire on purpose? If so, I'm a little scared. Perhaps you're heroic for surviving the semester with him as your roommie.
Hahahaha! Funniest Robert Crais interview ever! This is great, PCN. I'd be thrilled with either/any prize.
My most heroic act: I got out of bed in the middle of the night (3 a.m.) to go down to a seedy part of Hollywood Blvd. to pick up a friend who called to say he was too drunk to drive. I like to think I saved his life and perhaps those of other motorists that night.
I've been on Hollywood Blvd. at that hour—never mind why—so I think you were very brave going down there to get your friend.
Oh, this is ridiculous in the BEST way. Thanks for the laugh. You two need to take it on the road.
Hmm, most heroic…I'm usually the one being rescued. Ha! OK, how about this:
I saw a little girl at the mall who was lost and looking really scared. I walked with her to the Customer Service desk and had them page her mother. There was a shoe sale going on at Macy's so that was pretty heroic of me to stop and do that.
We could take it on the road but then we'd fight over who gets the sausage that comes with the gift baskets in the dressing rooms.
I was lost once in a huge outdoor crowd when I was 5 and was absolutely terrified. A stranger helped me find my mother and I've never forgotten him. I'm thinking that little girl won't forget you, either.
I expected nothing less than sharp and witty repartee with this, and I wasn't disappointed, PCN. Another Joe Pike is brewing? That's some scoop! I don't think I've ever done something truly heroic (at least not in the Elvis Cole, Joe Pike-class). Hmm… I used to give blood (before I tainted it with too much tequila and guacamole – at least that's what the nurses told me ;-).
Would that count? No? Okay. A friend of my girlfriend at the time in high school (and not my friend, at all) ingested a barbiturate she shouldn't have, and I helped watch over her till she got over the worst of it (plus, promised to keep my mouth shut about it so she wouldn't get in trouble). After almost 40 years, I guess it's okay to talk about it now.
Thanks, PCN>
I got you to reveal a 40-year-old secret? Score!
Was it that girl Nancy with the snorting laugh you're always talking about? No? Then I have no clue. I think you're safe.
I didn't know the next book will be another Pike novel, and I also didn't know about the RC pizza so this interview is definitely scoopy, PCN! Next time I'm in Venice, I'll go eat RC. 😀
As for something heroic, I once rescued a dog nobody wanted. I think she'd been abused but she finally started trusting me. I hope I made a difference.
I hope you enjoy eating Robert. He's best with some Tabasco because it makes him extra spicy.
You saved that dog's life. I think you made a huge difference.
Since you and Joe Pike are already painting pottery together, can I have him for ice skating at Rockefeller Center this holiday? Can you just imagine a hot toddie in front of a roaring fireplace with Joe Pike on a cold winter night… Yum.
Heroic for a friend, let's see… I love Hayley's, since I think preventing drinking and driving is always heroic (and not always easy; I know some angry drunks!). Back when I was younger, I used to think it was heroic to support your friend against some other poor girl in the case of a boys' wrongdoing, but I've mended those ways. I think my heroic ways may be quieter and less physical than Pike's and found over support and a glass of wine, since no one wants to see me flailing about in hand-to-hand combat.
PCN – thanks for a wonderful interview with Crais!
I'm not painting pottery with Joe. We're singing Glee tunes on karaoke, with him taking the Diana Ross part on "Endless Love."
Quiet acts of heroism are admirable because they're done every day and not just because someone wants to get on TV. That said, I'd pay to see you kick some ass!
I'm here in my cube at work, uh working, and everyone is wondering what I'm laughing at. Nice interview, PCN. Christmas is just a few weeks away–I'm putting a Joe Pike macramed belt at the top of my list. Alas, I have no heroic acts to report, but I'll keep reading Elvis & Joe and maybe a bit of their goodness will rub
off on me.
You just gave me an idea. I want a macraméd poncho from Pike!
You're being modest. I have seen vids of you delivering babies in taxi cabs and wrestling with bears in the wild.
pulled them out of the way of oncoming traffic something very small but at least they did not squooshed by a garbage truck
Yikes. What/who did you pull out of the way?
Most heroic thing for a friend? Telling the truth – even if it risked the friendship. I'm tweeting… @WotV. What else was I supposed to do? Um, follow? Will do.
That is indeed very brave! Welcome, WotV, and thanks for following
It wasn't a friend, it was my older brother.
My family was poor and he needed a hearing aid. It cost sooooo much money back then. It was this enormous thing that made him look like a space creature and, an 8-year old living in rural Maine does not want to look like an alien going to school. He HATED it even wearing it even more because my Dad insisted we all sport crewcuts, my brother wasn't allowed to grow out his hair to cover it up.
One day, on the way home from school, my brother got into a fight with the kids next door. I came along just as they had knocked him down. The hearing aid had gone flying and was in pieces. Two of these rotten neighbors were holding him down while a third repeatedly punched him in the face. They were all bigger than I was, but I leapt into the fray and somehow channeled my inner Tazmanian devil. The neighbors were sent home bloody that day, but my brother got the worst of it…from my Dad for breaking the hearing aid. It was tough for my parents, but they somehow scraped the money together and got a new one for my brother. He was so scared of breaking it again that he only wore it in the house. Because he couldn't hear what the teacher was saying in the classroom, they held him back a year. We never spoke of that day again.
When we moved to a new town and consequently a new school, I took some aptitude tests and my teachers tried to leap me forward a grade. Since it would have put me in the same grade as my brother (3 years older), I declined.
My brother and I don't speak of that either. We are much older now and live on separate coasts. We speak every Weds. night on the phone, but still don't talk about those days.
Your story is so moving, FF, I know my reply is inadequate. Please allow me to just say thank you for sharing such a personal experience. Sounds like you and your brother are lucky to have each other.
Oh, smooth, just as I expected!! I can't decide if Robert Crais is cool or hot.
Your postcards are beauties, PCN ~ I can't decide if they are cool or hot, either!!
How about we're both cool AND hot, Shell? And smooth AND rough, pleasure AND pain…
What was the question again?
Great interview. You two have quite a routine. Can't you talk RC into taking you on tour with him?
I tried, but he said I had to shine his boots along the way. I said, "You don't even wear boots!" He said, "That's not the point!" Negotiations broke down after that.
And to think—I could've hooked up with you and Jen (maybe Naomi?) in OH.
That was just hysterical PCN. Barbara Walters should take some tips from you! Hmm, not sure if this was heroic but I picked up my friend at the police station at midnight after her soon-to- be ex-husband broke into their home and shot himself in front of her and their son earlier in the evening. Then I drove her to the hospital and stayed in the room holding her hand while we watched a machine breathe for him for 17 more hours until they finally pulled the plug. Bullets and heads don't mix!
Not really sure that's heroic. You help friends through painful experiences. That's why they call it friendship right?
Yes, I believe Babs should call me up right now and offer me a job. I'd enjoy bitch-slapping people on national TV.
You helped your friend get through a hellish experience and that's plenty valiant.
LOVED the interview! Thanks, PCN! (Jen Forbus gets props for providing the link and introducing me to your blog on Jen's Book Thoughts.) As I don't see a tour stop here in Nashville, TN, maybe I'll run into you all in Dayton!
Hmmm, while not necessarily heroic, my husband and I tried to help my girlfriend recover from a divorce. We'd have her over one night a week for pizza, homemade brownies or chocolate chip cookies and a movie. (Alas, no Robert Crais pizzas available in Dayton, OH, so had to settle for Papa John's with the Works.) My husband dubbed them Mindi Movie Nights.
Christine: Very thoughtful of both you and your husband to help out a friend. Sounds delicious.
I went to undergrad at UD and am unable to stop myself from commenting – nothing close to a Robert Crais pizza in Dayton, but I was a hugggggggggge fan of Cousin Vinny's! It's definitely pizza geared towards the poor college student, but I have many fond late night memories of waiting for the delivery bell to ring (and then more happy memories from the cold leftovers in the morning)!
Hmm. All of a sudden, I'm getting a craving for pizza. Think I'll order one with bell peppers, mushrooms, jalapenos and Robert Crais on top.
novelwhore: Ahh, nothing says "College Days" like cold leftover pizza for breakfast. Missed out on the Cousin Vinny's experience, but we were big fans of Milano's on Brown Street!
Welcome, Christine, and thanks! I owe Jen something fabulous for providing the link.
I'm wondering if you might like to move to L.A. any time soon because I'd sure love to have you nearby when I'm having a bad day. For the record, I love kettle-cooked chips, snickerdoodles, Sour Patch Kids and egg rolls. Oh, and movies starring Daniel Craig.
PCN: You're comfort list is duly noted and if ever in LA, I'll check in to see how you're doing. I'm a firm believer in the healing powers of baking and cinematherapy! (And either accompanied with wine or a wee dram of scotch? Lovely!) ;-D
I love the photos with the quotes! When I was in LA last year, I just couldn't choose where to go and what to see in the time I had. Then I thought of places used in Robert's and Michael Connelly's books and used them as kind of guide books to get me started. Worked like a charm, it was great! (Though, how did I miss out on a place serving Robert Crais pizza when I was walking about Venice Beach!?! Oh well, I'll just have to take another trip back to California, eh?)
Hey Christine,
Definitely let me know if you go to Dayton! I'd love to meet you.
And I'm so glad you found PCN's blog. Isn't she awesome?
YOU are awesome. As if your support and comments aren't enough, you bring friends.
Sounds like his Dayton stop will be a party!
Oh, you'll have to come back, Christine! Robert's hanging out at the beach, calling your name, just waiting to be eaten.
A lot of the fun I have while reading his books is from a) recognizing the places he's writing about or b) thinking, "That sounds cool. Gotta check it out." I'm glad your tour of Crais/Connelly locations turned out great.
Had to come back and read the interview again! Brightens my day. SO looking forward to The First Rule! I love seeing the world through Pike's eyes and learning more about him.
You just brightened up my day by saying that, Christine. I guarantee The First Rule will blow your socks off.
Heroic? Me? Not so much.
I really can't think of anything "heroic". In my senior year in high school one of my good friend's boyfriend broke up with her a couple of days before prom and she asked if I would take her and I did. Is that heroic?
I was always a good listener. People would tell me stuff (sometimes TMI) and I'd listen and point out their options without telling them what to do. (Well, sometimes I would tell them what to do, but would they listen? No.)
But I do like wearing brightly colored spandex tights with a mask and a cape if that counts.
Hey sugar….was thinking about the heroic thing i did for a friend. and here's the problem – i think it might diminish it if i fessed up. part of the heroism of it was that it's sealed and buried, never to be discussed. for someone like me, who has to discuss every single thing to conjure it into being, that's HUGE….my staying moot on the subject is the 2nd act of heroism. (and i think i get two, by the rules! 🙂
great interview. for reasons large and small.
I agree, Soph (and wrote about that here). Notice I didn't fess up to anything I did? But I really wanted to hear about the awesome things people have done because it seems we hear more about folks doing mean things than good. Double standard on my part? Yes. But I'm so glad people shared because they inspired me. And they did it only because I asked, not because they were boastful.
And you definitely get 2 points!
Great interview, and great news that another Pike book is in the works!
Don't know how heroic it was, but while I was in graduate school a real jerk professor was riding someone unfairly, really tearing them down in front of the whole class, and I stood up and called him out on it. He threatened to throw me out of his class (fail me) but I didn't back down; told him we could go talk to the Dean about it – and his behavior – if he wanted to. Didn't happen. AND I ended up getting the 2nd best grade in the class… blind grading, of course! 😉
My book arrived! Oooh and it's pretty-pretty – – I know what I'll be doing tonight! Thanks so much PCN!!
Oh Sophie…you're going to love it. I read it Xmas day…that was my gift to myself. All I have to say is…*sigh* I LOVE Joe Pike!

A Leavenworth woman accused of leaving her baby alone in an alley will undergo a competency evaluation.
A Leavenworth woman accused of leaving her baby alone in an alley will undergo a competency evaluation.
District Judge Gunnar Sundby ordered the evaluation for Elizabeth A. Michaud Friday at the request of defense attorney Elaine Halley.
Michaud is charged with aggravated endangering a child for allegedly leaving her infant son alone May 3 in an alley in Leavenworth.
Authorities believe Michaud was under the influence of drugs or alcohol the night of the incident. Leavenworth Police Chief Pat Kitchens has estimated the baby was in the alley, which was a few blocks from Michaud's home, for at least three hours before he was found in a stroller by an area resident.
Sundby said competency evaluations usually take about 10 days. He scheduled another court appearance in two weeks.
"The case is suspended until Dec. 19 at 9 o'clock," he said.
The judge said he hopes the evaluation will be completed by this date.
Michaud was in the custody of officers from the Leavenworth County
Jail when she appeared Friday in court.
Michaud previously had been free on bond, but a bench warrant was issued for her arrest when she failed to show up last week for a scheduled court appearance. Assistant County Attorney Cheryl Marquardt reported at the time that the defendant apparently had walked out of a treatment program Nov. 24.
Michaud appeared in court Monday after she had been taken into custody on the bench warrant. Michaud said Monday she had left rehab because one of her children was in an accident.
Halley did not appear with her client Monday. And Sundby scheduled Friday's court appearance so the defense attorney would be available to appear with Michaud.
After Sundby said Friday that he would order a competency hearing, Halley said her client was requesting a chance to go back into treatment.
The judge said at this point he wants to make sure Michaud understands the nature of the court proceedings by having her undergo a competency evaluation.

IT Management Slideshow: 158,000 IT Jobs Sent Offshore in 2010
CORRECTED:: According to a report from global strategic advisory firm The Hackett Group, 158,000 IT jobs in North America and Europe were displaced due to outsourcing in 2010. (Editor's Note: due to an error by Hackett Group, a previous version of this article contained an incorrect number of IT jobs outsourced. This version contains the corrected information.) It's important to note that the report includes only jobs associated with the provisioning of IT services internal to American and European companies. IT jobs in the tech sector itself, such hardware, software, telecom and service providers, are not in scope of this analysis.) But, there is good news for IT workers: the pace of IT offshoring will slow through 2014, even as enterprises step up the pace of offshoring jobs in finance and procurement. In 2014, offshoring will account for 114,000 lost IT jobs in North America and Europe. The research is based on data garnered from more than 250 in-depth benchmarks performed annually by Hackett, and supplemented by data from more than 350 companies participating annually in Hackett's online performance studies. Respondents are split evenly between the US and Europe, and about 20 percent of respondents are IT executives. The Hackett Group says the rapid growth of what it calls the Global Business Services (GBS) organization is driving much of the trend. The GBS typically has a global footprint and leverages offshore resources, enabling a realization of value via economies of scale, scope and skills. There's still a place in this new model for onshore white-collar workers who have experience in change management, program and product management, and other skills appropriate to a globally distributed, multicultural and virtually integrated organization.

This is the first time I have ever seen this type of product before. I decided what the heck and give it a try. While they are beautiful, they are definitely not petite, but the color combinations are a big plus. Love how they look and how quick they got here was a big driver for this purchase. Thank you for making such a great product.

GOSHEN — Prosecutors say John Bland is a kingpin in an oxycodone ring.
GOSHEN — Prosecutors say John Bland is a kingpin in an oxycodone ring.
His court-appointed lawyer said Bland can't even post bail.
Bland, 49, of the Bronx, was back in Orange County Court Thursday to face charges he headed up a prescription drug trafficking ring, driving accomplices in a rental car to fill oxycodone prescriptions at pharmacies in Orange and Dutchess counties and New York City.
Bland has been indicted on charges including operating as a major trafficker. He was arrested March 1 after an investigation by the New York State Attorney General's Office's Medicaid Fraud Control Unit and the New York City Human Resources Administration.
The attorney general's office says Bland gave forged prescriptions to his accomplices and then drove them to pharmacies to fill the prescriptions. They then allegedly turned over the pills to Bland, who paid them $150 to $400; and he sold the pills to drug dealers. Prosecutors say Bland moved thousands of oxycodone pills with a value of hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Five alleged accomplices, all from the Bronx, have been charged with felony drug possession and conspiracy; each faces up to nine years in prison if convicted.
In court Thursday, Judge Jeffrey Berry noted that if convicted of the most severe crime, Bland would face a minimum of 15 years to life in prison and 25 years to life maximum. "This is the last vestige of the old Rockefeller laws," Berry said.
The case was adjourned to April 22. Bland is being held at Orange County Jail, now in lieu of $250,000 bail or $1.5 million bond.
After court, Bland's lawyer, Mark Gordon dismissed the idea of his client as a drug-ring mastermind. "He wasn't able to make the bail. How is he a kingpin?"

How many visitors can you attract via organic search engine results, and what percent of them will take action once on your site? Not only can you practice making your own websites, but you may find part-time employment designing websites for small businesses.

Inside the Boxscore - Team 133, Game 4
In the week preceding this game, some random internet poster guy asked what was the worst performance you've seen by a QB. I ran screaming from that post, but couldn't escape the images of Demetrious Brown throwing seven interceptions – SEVEN INTERCEPTIONS!!! - in a game against MSU many years ago. In another post, we learned that Brady Hoke forgot about ND's first night game in 1982 against UofM. I didn't forget because I was there and have the emotional scars to prove it. I've seen too many weird things happen in M/ND games, like winds coming up out of nowhere to push 51 yard field goal attempts from 5'3" guys with the leg strength of my mom over the cross bar. Or kicking off to a guy named Rocket AFTER he's already burned you for a kick return TD.
So what happened Saturday night? Denard Robinson arguably had his worst game as a UofM QB, contributing to five of UofM's six turnovers on the night. Earlier in the week, Peyton Manning, who some call the greatest NFL quarterback of all time, threw three interceptions in the first quarter. So far all of the folks out there saying senior quarterbacks should play better, all I can say is stuff happens, even to NFL legends and future hall of famers.
However, there is a silver lining. What I remember most about the 7 interception game, was the inability of UofM to change plan, to try something, anything different. Against ND, all five of the INTs occurred in the first half. Adjustments were made. Things started clicking; however, the revised plan took too much time, and the defense was not able to get off the field thanks to a misplaced sheleighleigh (sp?) that tripped up J.T. Floyd on a critical third down play. And by the way, thanks a lot, random internet poster guy. Next time, wait until after the ND game to tempt the fates*.
* As a coping mechanism, I either have to blame you or accept that Denard is human, and I'm not ready to do that yet.
Link: http://www.mgoblue.com/sports/m-footbl/stats/092212aaa.html
Burst of Impetus
- In the interest of saving time, I put this code together:
For i = 1 to 6
- Michigan started grinding out some first downs.
- It looked like if Michigan could just get some points on the board, we'd take control of the game.
- Michigan turned the ball over.
- I absorbed a virtual punch to the gut while that internet meme girl screamed, "Why, why, why?" inside my head.
Next i
- Believe it or not, I think the tone for the game was set by that first turnover ND made, and our inability to turn that into points. I think Borges and Denard started pressing too much after that. The sad thing is we could have won a ball-control, grind-it-out, low-scoring, slugfest-type game, but Borges gameplanned for needing to get in the 30's. The ND/Staee game should have taught us that ND is not winning with offense this year.
Malachi Crunch
- ND was held to 94 yards rushing for on 31 attempts for a 3.0 average.
- Only 14 players show up in the defensive stats. ND only ran 50 plays. Apparently, they didn't want the ball either.
- Kovacs and Morgan were the leading tacklers with 7 apiece.
- Q. Washington played well and got half a tackle for loss for zero yards. If you wonder how that's possible, join the club. He did get into the backfield a few times, but didn't wrap up when he did.
- Taylor had an awesome INT that made me flashback to one of those games we won 38-0. Alas, we couldn't capitalize on it.
- I have to admit ND's defense is good. They had 5 TFLs and 4 QHs to our 2 and 1.
Ermahgerd, Desmond "Shoestring" Robinson?
- Last week, I wrote, "Denard had one poor pass/decision, throwing a pick-six, but better he do that against UMass than ND, 'cause he rarely does that kind of thing, right?" Well, at least we avoided the pick-six. I'll be expecting a first class ticket to Bolivian in the mail.
- According to Tom Hammond and Mike Mayock (more later) our fourth string QB, Desmond "Shoestring" Robinson, got the start. I kept waiting for the "Denard who owns ND" to show up, but we ran out of time in the 2ndhalf.
- On the 24 yard pass play ND had down to our six, their right tackle started early. Had that been called, it potentially wipes out an ND TD.
- I think the refs missed another holding penalty early in the game where an ND lineman tried to remove Roh's shoulder pads.
- Penalties were even at 5 apiece. I guess that's the best you can expect when you are playing on the road against G_d.
Bunches of Funchess
- When I was 16 and learning how to drive, my Dad, trying his best to impart some constructive criticism without being overly harsh, said, "ST3, your driving lacks a certain smoothness." I think it's wonderful how Devin Gardner has moved over to WR to help the team, but at this point in his career, I think his route running lacks a certain smoothness.
- On the INT thrown in front of Gardner, why is everyone assuming that was Denard's fault? He is a senior QB and our all time yardage leader. Gardner is a converted QB playing WR in his 4thgame.
- Roundtree horribly mistimed his jump on the end-of-half hail Mary, probably costing us another turnover, but that play was meaningless. I do worry about what that suggests about Roundtree. He's great on the quick hitters and underneath stuff, but I still don't see him getting separation on the deep balls. He had 3 catches for 30 yards with a long of 11.
- You can't stop the Funchess, you can only hope to contain him, and ND did to the tune of 2 catches for only 11 yards.
I Can Hate Donkeys Again?
- We saw glimpses of the 2011 end-of-season running game. We'll need more of that going forward.
- Subtracting sack yardage, we did fairly well on the ground. Toussaint averaged 4.5 yards on 13 carries, helped by a 31 yard gain.
- We outrushed ND 161-94.
Special Teams Stuff
- Norfleet continues to get the ball and go Norf and Souf. I like how he gets it and goes.
- I think Brian wasted a bunch of electrons on his punting post this week, as neither team returned a punt.
- Gibbons made two and missed one from the hash. I hate kicks from the hash. If I was a coach, I'd never attempt a kick from the hashmark. The angle just screws everything up.
I'll Take Bullets for a Thousand, Alex
- In the non-points related aspects of the game, we did fairly well, getting more first downs (19-14,) more total yards (299-239,) and doing better on third down (8 of 15 vs. 3 of 9.) Heck, we only punted once. (/ducks)
- Red zone efficiency or lack thereof was also a big factor. We went 2 of 5, they were 2 of 3.
- Time of possession was odd, we dominated the 1stand 3rdquarters with 11+ minutes each, and ND controlled the 2ndand 4thquarters with 9+ minutes.
- Check out the drive chart. We had 7 drives in the first half, but only three in the second.
Outside the Boxscore
- I updated my "most annoying color men" list and put Mike Mayock at the top of the list. Doesn't he realize he's covering a game for television, not radio? For 3 and a half hours he wouldn't shut up. Take a breather, Mike, and let the game speak for itself every now and then. At the end of the half, he castigated Omameh for making a "dumb play" by hitting someone late. The only problem was, replay showed the ND player launching himself from behind Omameh and ND got the 15 yard penalty. Mike's response, "My bad." Yeah, you're right Mike, you are bad. Fortunately, we only have to listen to him once every other year.
- NBC's studio analyst for the game was Liam McHugh. Here's how I think the interview went.
NBC Exec: What's your name?
McHugh: Liam McHugh.
NBC Exec: You're hired!
Thank you, thank you, I'll be here all week.

Every decision in life isn�t the government�s to make. Most decisions, certainly those that have to do with personal safety, belong to the individual.
Every decision in life isn�t the government�s to make. Most decisions, certainly those that have to do with personal safety, belong to the individual.
State Rep. John A. Torbett, R-Gaston, has filed a bill that would nix North Carolina�s mandatory helmet law, leaving riders 21 and older free to decide for themselves whether to wear a helmet.
His reason is right on target: �What this is about to me is pretty much the freedom of an adult to choose.�
Hear! Hear!
This is all about the freedom of adults to choose what is best for them � even if that choice is a bad one.
There is much debate on whether the helmet law makes sense and does what it was intended to do � prevent serious injuries and save lives.
Dr. Pascal Odekwu, director of the trauma unit at a Wake County hospital, sees a lot of serious injuries, including those of motorcycle riders involved in wrecks. He supports mandatory helmets, recently telling lawmakers that they reduce high medical and rehabilitation costs that often fall to taxpayers.
Torbett, who has been riding a motorcycle since his teen years, calls that argument off base and backs up his opinion with information from the Department of Transportation and National Highway Transportation Safety Administration.
That information includes:
n 63 percent of motorcycle wreck fatalities do not involve major head injuries that would have been prevented by the use of a helmet.
n Motorcycle wreck fatalities often are caused by wounds to the torso or its internal organs.
n Helmets offer less protection the faster the motorcyclist is riding.
n North Carolina�s current rate of motorcycle fatalities is 12 percent of total traffic deaths, roughly the same as the 11 percent in South Carolina, which has no mandatory helmet law.
With differing opinions and information from both sides of the issue, where would you come down?
Like so many other decisions, this is one the government has no business making for motorcyclists. All rides do not take place in the same conditions, and Torbett cites a good example of how individuals can make sensible decisions.
He says he always wears a helmet in heavy traffic, but not on country roads in South Carolina.
The truth is, safety can�t be guaranteed by the government or by individuals. Judgment always comes into play in decision-making.
We hold out hope that Torbett�s bill will move quickly through the Legislature. It has already been approved by one panel of lawmakers.
We commend him for calling attention to the ever-growing Nanny State where people in power mistakenly believe they have the power to rule your life.

Delta Partners Leads Investment to Propel Social Gifting Company's Business Development and Further Expansion in U.S. Market
Delta Partners Leads Investment to Propel Social Gifting Company's Business Development and Further Expansion in U.S. Market
SAN FRANCISCO, CA--(Marketwired - Jan 30, 2014) - Cleverbug, social gifting company and makers of the popular CleverCards app, today announced a $6 million financing round led by Delta Partners, bringing its total equity investment to $8 million. Cleverbug's mission is to create fun and simple ways for people to celebrate holidays, milestones and meaningful everyday moments through cards and gifts.
"This time last year, Cleverbug was a simple birthday card iPhone app with elegant social graph technology. We never would have guessed that in a year we'd scale the product to such a degree that our users can now meaningfully celebrate almost every major holiday and every milestone with friends and family in minutes," said Kealan Lennon, CEO and founder of Cleverbug. "Our users love CleverCards, and in 2014, we're going to give them more of what they love, by continuing to improve the service and introduce new products."
The new financing is a significant milestone towards the company's goal of becoming the most popular social gifting company on the market. The capital will help to accelerate the next phase of business development, further expansion in the U.S. market, and new product developments.
Since its launch in January 2013 as a birthday card app, Cleverbug has become available on iOS, Android and the web, the company grew its offering to include all major U.S. holidays, and the product was featured on the TODAY Show with Hoda Kotb and Kathie Lee Gifford. Cleverbug's flagship product, CleverCards, uses proprietary algorithms that leverage its users' Facebook connections to create beautiful, high-quality greeting cards and send them anywhere in the world. With 75 printing facilities worldwide and the largest global footprint of any card company out there, this latest financing round will help to ensure that Cleverbug continues to make a product that can serve its growing global customer-base.
Additionally, on the heels of announcing a partnership with the American Kennel Club's all new online destination, WOOFipedia, Cleverbug will look ahead in 2014 to bolster its customer acquisition and partnerships as a content publishing platform, by offering a channel where brands can share and monetize social content like never before.
"We are very impressed with the outstanding work by the Cleverbug team in bringing a much-loved product to the market, and the red-hot social gifting category," said Maurice Roche of Delta Partners. "We're proud to be part of the company's next phase of product and business development, as it moves toward its audacious vision to be the largest social gifting company in the world."
Cleverbug's CleverCards app has been downloaded in over 150 countries, and has more than 50 million friends within its CleverBook system, catalogued both from Facebook and non-Facebook family & friends that users have manually loaded into the app. CleverCards is available to download in the Apple App Store and Google Play Market, and at CleverCards.com.

'Something about' those grain giants
She knew it all along. Everybody else finally is catching up. Other little girls play with dolls. Lorraine Pierro was mesmerized by concrete monoliths. Her dad and uncles worked on the Buffalo docks. She was 9 when she first saw up close the massive grain elevators lining the waterfront. It was industrial-strength love at first sight; the start of a lifelong relationship.
"There was," she told me Thursday, "just something about them."
It took awhile, but the sentiment is spreading.
The auction Wednesday of the Cargill Pool Grain Elevator on the outer harbor for $475,000 – it was bought in 1983 for $10,000 – sets high market value on Pierro's object of devotion. Buffalo-based FFZ Holdings reportedly plans a mixed-use project.
Granted, the hefty price is largely a testament to the enhanced worth of our blossoming waterfront. But the sale is the latest in a series of elevator-validating events. A Canalside grain elevator will be among the "canvases" for a $5 million kinetic light show next year. In the last year, businessman Rick Smith has opened his three Silo City elevators for art extravaganzas. Concrete behemoths that many thought should be condemned have now become cool – and are ready for their close-up.
No one is happier than the slender, warrior-intense Pierro. The president of the Industrial Heritage Committee looks less these days like an eccentric than a visionary. She and fellow devotee Jerry Malloy have for 28 years taken folks into the heart of our industrial past, guiding Buffalo River boat tours deep into grain elevator country. The state this year is finally doing the grain elevator walking tour, along the remade Fuhrmann Boulevard, that Pierro has pushed for a quarter-century.
"That's the original 'Lighter, Quicker, Cheaper,' as far as I'm concerned," she said, reciting our recent waterfront mantra.
Time and circumstance have validated her sense of the elevators' historic and aesthetic worth. For whatever reason, these emblems of our past industrial might have always been an easier sell to outsiders. They helped inspire the early 20th century Bauhaus "form follows function" movement. In 1990, federal archivists documented our collection, then the world's largest. Architecture students trek here from distant lands. From Ohio to France, similar structures have gotten second lives as hotels and offices, even as an opera house.
Yet many locals dismiss them as eyesores. The slight regard always perplexed me – and not just because the first behemoth, made of wood, was birthed here in 1842. Like negligent parents, locals seemed eager to disown their offspring.
True, they are more beast than beauty, comparatively closer to mastodons than to mermaids. Yet to this Buffalo transplant, they always seemed like concrete dinosaurs, rising from the scrub brush along the Buffalo River plain like frozen-in-time fossils. Their inert mass stamped Buffalo's broad-shouldered identity and shouted "sense of place" in an increasingly homogenized world. What was not to like?
For decades, Pierro has been their fiercest champion. "This is our history," she said. "It seems like there is a new appreciation and recognition of them."
Long before a community's eyes opened wider, she knew.

NEW YORK (AP) - Burger King says it will start offering a "French Fry Burger" for a buck, as it looks to fend off McDonald's aggressive push for its Dollar Menu.
Miami-based Burger King says the burger will be available Sept. 1 through the fall, as it looks to drum up sales and customer interest with cheap new concoctions.
The burger, which clocks in at 360 calories and 19 grams of fat, is a relatively novel offering but doesn't require any extra investment from Burger King; it's basically a standard beef patty topped with four of the chain's french fries.
The offering comes as fast-food chains jump through hoops to get customers through their doors, in large part by heavily promoting their cheapest eats.
