They should call the show "Vengeance Is Mine, Sayeth Emily Thorne." I really am liking this show. It's "The Count of Monte Cristo" with a modern twist.
I dunno. I dont think the lead actress isnt good enough to carry a series. The whole theme is kinda silly to make an entire primetime show around. It seems like a one-shot summer series like Harper's Island. And I'm not buying the little brother from Gossip Girl as this straight, bad boy.
It seems like the show has to have an endpoint. I mean, in the second episode, she ruined one of the men responsible for what happened to her father. So if she takes down a character every episode or two, by the time the first season is done, all of those responsible should be dead or ruined. Then what?
i dunno. i like it and want to enjoy the ride. i'm not worried about the story continuing.
"If you can't do something smart,do something right."-Jayne Cobb
Well it does say this isn't a story about forgiveness, so I don't see her minding destroying the family whether it costs her the guy or not. Then again, her hooking up with the guy might be part of the plan anyway.
This concept seems to have a limited shelf life. I mean how many people could possibly have been involved with framing her father. It seems like this is a one season show.
I hadn't planned on watching the show but caught the first two episodes over the weekend and enjoyed them.
Thing is, how does the guy she took down in episode 2 not figure out she was involved in his big crash? She tells him to check out the big stock tip, he does, then calls for reassurance and she says go for it in a coy kind of way, then all goes to hell. I don't know about you, but she'd be the first person I'd be looking to have a "conversation" with.
Also, I think if this is a one season show, the lead character will somehow die in the end after revenge is complete. The opening title card scene had a Confucious saying something about revenge and digging TWO graves.
I stayed away from this show but broke down and marathoned it the other day. Now I'm hooked. I HIGHLY recommend. The actress who plays Victoria Grayson is incredible.
It took me a while to warm up to Emily but now I think she is excellent.
Oh yes! It's awesome! I wouldn't want to get on her bad side...
boy this week's episode was loaded. and they killed one of the gay guys.
I agree, this show is excellent. I'm going to be going in withdrawals when it ends.
I tuned into this show because I'm obsessed with Nick Wechsler, only to find that another obsession (Connor Paolo) is also on it. As is William Devane who I'm not obsessed with, but still happy to see.
This week is the first episode I've ever seen, so I'm not sure what's going on. I just wish the one character (Nolan?) would cut his hair. I'm only one episode in, and I'm already tired of going "Oh, hey! Ron Weasley is on this show!"
There are no words. Just the sound of jacking off.
I love it! This week's episode was AMAZING! I want to be like Emily when I grow up!
Holy shit. Sat down the other day and marathon the whole season because a friend of mine said that it was a great show. Love this show now. That Japanese Sensei, Takedo, is a bad ass. I hope that they show a little backstory on who he is, etc.
takedo adds quite an interesting depth to the show. clearly compared to emily, his unswerving and cold view towards vengeance is frightening. i wonder how many skeletons he has packed in his closet. and i love to know more about how he takes emily under his wings.
This show is amazing! just started watching it
How hot is Josh Bowman (Daniel)???
Love this show! Watch it all the time.
I like the show but the last two episodes were all over the place, and I was wondering how many seasons can they keep have Emily getting revenge and never getting cought.
Why is this relevant? It shows that a Series can change while keeping the original mission statement.
The creators actually have an opportunity to do something original.
In the land of Procedural cop shows and Reality TV where the "Stars" do the same thing over and over again, original sounds nice right about now.
They have said if it gets a season 2 it will probably be in a different location but with the same characters. It makes sense to the plot. I hope it gets renewed.
As much as I enjoy the show and like the characters, it's basically a prime time soap opera.
With the basic plot, I agree with so many others, how long can it last after she has had her complete "Revenge"?.
It can't but I don't think there was ever a plan for 7 seasons by anyone lol.
Anyone watch the finale? It was GREAT! I realllllly don't think that Victoria is dead....or maybe it's just wishful thinking.
yes I watched loved the 5 minutes! that music really set the tone..its moving to Sundays in the old DHW spot..
Season 2 tonight
Tell me you guys saw the recap earlier this week and the sneak peak at the end showing the second season.
The look Ems gave after charlotte whispered that stuff in her ear?
When she walked away...
She's coming for the Greyson's souls.
I really loved it, personally.
Let's face it, the first season was cornier than Kansas in August, (and I mean that in a good, campy sort of way...)
But season two seems to be getting right down to business. The writing is tighter, the entire cast looks like they spent the last 6 months working out... (shirtless Jack in the basement of his bar... *major* yum) and even the production values have improved.
No more really bad "green screen" shots or CGI snow...
I think it's gonna be a great season.
Loving this show. I just hope Jack's brother is the one lying on the floor of the ocean...sorry. He just annoys me.
Looks like we are going to see Emily and British guy together next week. Be interesting to find out his backstory.
What on earth is that guy doing who gave Jack's brother that jewelry? First thing I thought was "He will call the cops on him and say he stole it" then I heard him say "There's more where that came from"
What this tells me is he will use this to help him save up for college which to me means this will be a longer storyline that a one time thing.

A sequel to Gearbox's co-op shooter RPG Borderlands is on its way to PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, the developer and publisher 2K Games have announced. Borderlands 2 promises "all-new characters, skills, environments, enemies, weapons and equipment."
Borderlands 2 will return to the planet of Pandora, probing "unexplored new areas," secrets, mysteries, and all that jazz in an "an ambitiously crafted story." (Hopefully, Gearbox's ambitions include not throwing its hands up and shrugging its shoulders when it comes to the end of the sequel.)
Details on Borderlands 2 will be dished in this month's issue of Game Informer magazine, including unveiling the first of its new classes. The game will also be on show at Gamescom in Cologne, Germany from August 17-18, and will be at PAX Prime on August 26-28.
The original Borderlands sold an impressive 2 million copies in two months following its October 2009 release. New areas, weapons, and enemies were added in four $10 downloadable content packs, which were all bundled with the base game in its Game of the Year Edition.
Borderlands 2 is slated to launch some time during Take-Two's 2013 fiscal year, which runs from April 1, 2012 through to March 31, 2013.

"As the region grows and the economy continues to recover, BART will need to meet the increased demand on our system," said BART Board President John McPartland. "We are planning for the future with increased service, efficiencies and access to our stations."
BART unveiled a glimpse into BART's future in a draft study titled "BART Metro: Sustainability Communities Operational Analysis." The analysis aims to identify necessary service and operational improvements, as well as capital programs BART needs to implement in order to prepare for the 560,000 daily riders the Metropolitan Transportation Commission predicts BART will need to carry by 2025.
While funding all the initiatives remains a challenge, the plan provides a solid blueprint, which gives BART riders what they want: longer trains, efficient service and a modern fleet with the technology to run it.
BART lists some of the exciting components staff is working on include:
• More frequent direct Transbay Tube service
• More "show up and go" service and more timed transfers
• Express service between core stations
• Increased operating speeds in key locations
• Additional peak-period service on Pittsburg/Bay Point-SFO and South Hayward to Daly City lines
• Extended service on nights and weekends on the Richmond-Millbrae and South Hayward to Daly City lines
• Using Bay Fair Station as a "coupling" station where trains can un-couple, creating two trains with one heading to Dublin/Pleasanton and the other heading toward Berryessa Station.

XiX Music Player is a music player for MP3, Ogg, M4A, AAC, FLAC, APE, and OPUS files. It is easy to create and maintain your own playlists. There is an integrated lyric viewer that searches for the lyric of the song you are listening to. If the CD cover is found, it is also shown. You can also rip CD tracks to MP3 or FLAC. Listening to your favorite online radio stations is also possible. The focus is on having fast control of all your music.
Rippix is a fork of ripperX, a fast and easy to use CD ripper. While ripperX does a good job of ripping and encoding songs from a CD, it uses a rather outdated user interface. Rippix tries to fill this gap. This includes porting Rippix to GTK+ 3. Additionally, a lot of deprecated code will be rewritten and documentation will be added. The reason for a fork is that after some hacking on the ripperX code, it appeared that more modifications were necessary in order to port to GTK+ 3 conveniently than what could be appreciable by ripperX devs, like removing all the XPM images (including the logo) from the UI.
RipTcl is a front-end to various programs that rips audio CDs and encodes/transcodes to FLAC, Ogg Vorbis, MP3, WAV, or AAC under Linux. It provides extended meta tagging features, detects and saves files to USB storage players, burns CDs in DAO mode, plays audio, and supports freedb.
morituri is a CD ripper that aims for accuracy over speed. Its features are modeled to compare with Exact Audio Copy on Windows. It features support for MusicBrainz for metadata lookup, support for AccurateRip verification, support for cdparanoia, detection of sample read offset of drives, the ability to test and copy a rip, the ability to detect and rip Hidden Track One Audio, templates for file and directory naming, and tagging using GStreamer. Currently, it only supports lossless encoding and only has a command line client.
dudl is a collection of tools to grab, encode, and rename MP3 files, archive them, and maintain a database of all files. On top of this runs the dudld Jukebox daemon that plays your files through gstreamer. dudld's strengths are the powerful tag based filters, the capability to cope with very large collections, and the network protocol to control its operation. There is a full featured command-line client, a minimalistic GTK client, and a lirc client. Writing new clients should be easy with the supplied client libraries.
bbJewel creates a PDF of a cover for the listed MP3 files for the purpose of printing a jewel case insert. It parses each file and extract the title, artist, and length of the recording. It also scans the files for included cover images. You can provide the CD title and the cover image to use on the command line.

Defense of 3A state title begins for PHS Football
The problem with reaching the top of any hill is that, sooner or later, you have to come down and begin the climb all over again. Such is the situation with the 2012 edition of Powell High School football.

Down 2-0 at half, No. 18 Northwest forces 3-3 tie
Trailing 2-0 at intermission in an exhibition game against a Rocky Mountain College team that had pounded them 4-1 just 48 hours earlier, it would have been understandable had the 18th-ranked Northwest College men's soccer team opted to pack it in a little early on Monday night in Cody.
August 16, 2012 10:33 am
NWC comes up short in exhibition
Rocky Mountain College defeated Northwest College by a 4-0 count on Monday in exhibition soccer action in Cody. It was the first-ever appearance in Cody by the Trapper women's team, which has featured a number of Cody players in its brief history.
For women's coach Kaylin Olivas it was a largely wasted opportunity for her side to showcase itself to the local fan base.
August 16, 2012 10:29 am
The red car slowed as it drove down the nearby street. From within, a lone male voice unleashed a joyful cry, "it's football season!"
Indeed it is. Under normal circumstances, I probably would have returned the battle cry with equally passionate enthusiasm.

Two days of competition start on Saturday
The Western States Shooting Association will conduct the Wyoming State Mounted Shooting Championships in Powell this Saturday and Sunday. The event will take place at the Park County Fairgrounds starting at 10 a.m. both days.
Participants, many dressed in Old West era attire, will take their turns riding through seven rounds of randomly selected course patterns featuring 10 targets. They'll shoot single-action .45s loaded with black powder blanks with the goal of taking out all 10 targets in the shortest amount of time. Time is added for each target missed during a competitor's run.
August 07, 2012 10:55 am
Fall sports practices will begin at Powell High School on Monday, Aug. 13. The Panthers' football program will get things started when they convene at 6 a.m. on the PHS practice fields. Other sports will gather at later times of the day.
All athletes must have a sports physical before they will be allowed to begin practicing. Those who do not will not be allowed to participate in practice activities until they have completed a physical.

Thought I'd just start a fun little thread:
What's your dream guy like?? (Or dream girl, it's all good)
Personally, I'd like a guy.. maybe around 30, with wavy brown hair and green eyes. 6'4 or so, with huge pecs and arms and a not-too-toned stomach. A constant 5-o'clock shadow on a strong jaw that would make my face burn the next morning.
Personality wise (the most important part) he would be a man's man kind of guy. Someone who could pass for straight if it wasn't for his perfectly kept hair. I not an overly emotional/needy person, and I'd love to find someone who didn't get upset with me over that.

Evergreen Everlasting: The Differences between Fir, Spruce, and Pine
With so many artificial Christmas trees available in the market, it's difficult to tell each one apart. How's a person supposed to tell the difference between a Norwegian Spruce and a Balsam Fir? And often, we want to make sure that our trees look like their Natural namesakes.
Fir, spruce, and pine are three of the most popular Christmas tree varieties and have their own characteristics that make them special. If you were to look at the real trees, here are some things you would notice. Use these distinguishing characteristics when you shop for artificial Christmas trees, to make sure that yours looks like the real thing:
Fir trees have individual flat needles attached to the stem. The needles grow in a spiral on the tip and lay flat, and this kind of display gives fir trees their full look. Like our BH Balsam Fir, its shape is bushy and full, which doesn't leave much room for ornaments and is perfect if you like a less-decorated tree.
Like fir trees, spruces have single needles connected to the stems. However, spruce tree needles are sharp and square-shaped. On a real tree, spruce needles easily break apart if you bend them. As a whole, spruce trees sport the traditional full Christmas tree shape, thanks to their upturned branches. Much like our Vermont White Spruce tree, their strong branches can hold heavier ornaments, so load them up with your biggest ornaments with confidence!
Unlike the fir and spruce trees, a pine tree has needles that grow in bundles — you can see three to five needles bunched together on a pine tree branch. Pine trees have fewer branches, so they tend to look sparse with their upturned branches. However, this leaves lots of room to hang ornaments at the back and middle of the branches, allowing you to hang all of your favorite ornaments. Try this decorating tip with our Scotch Pine Tree.
With the pointers in mind, you can easily find the perfect Christmas tree!

Independent Television Service (ITVS) recently awarded KLRU a $750 Women & Girls Lead grant to fund costs associated with a Community Cinema screening in early September at Windsor Park Branch Library.
Women and Girls Lead is a multiyear public media initiative to leverage independent documentary film and public service engagement to amplify the voices of women and girl leaders, expand understanding of gender equity, and engage a network of citizens and organizations to tune in and get involved.
Community Cinema brings communities together through independent film by providing resources and opportunities for education, engagement, and action — transforming film and public broadcasting into powerful resources for individuals, communities and organizations. Community Cinema presents a different documentary the first Tuesday of the month at a public library.
Peace Unveiled is the film that took center stage on September 6th. It told the story of three women who organized in late 2009 when ground was being laid for peace talks with the Taliban. In order to protect women's interests, they maneuvered against formidable odds to have their voices heard in a peace jirga and high peace council.
Peggy Kelsey of The Afghan Women's Project spoke at the event about her personal visits to Afghanistan. She had interviewed a few of the women in the film for her book. Gaea Logan, a psychologist who started the Dakur project and who specializes in neurology behind psychological states, also spoke. She discussed the psychological strength it took the women to stand up and demand to be heard in front of the war lords who were on the peace panel. Audience discussion primarily focused on the topic of hope for the future of Afghanistan, and expressed gratitude for the opportunity to learn more about the issues presented in the screening.
Thank you, ITVS, for making this Community Cinema event possible!

It's not quite a book but I've been enjoying Judge Anderson: The Psi Files Volume 1, a phonebook sized collection of stories from celebrated British sci-fi comic 2000AD starring Judge Dredd's splendid psychic chum Judge Cassandra Anderson. There's a small exhibition of frequent Anderson artist Arthur Ranson's comic art at Orbital Comics near Leicester Square in London, if you're in the area and fancy seeing some rockin' pictures.

What content works best, what time to publish updates and how to use sponsored stories are consistent themes being discussed among nonprofit marketers.
Marty Note
Great piece that goes perfectly with a note I just made on how companies waste Social Media money (http://www.scoop.it/t/curation-revolution/p/3403673120/the-3-worst-ways-companies-waste-money-in-social-media ). In that note I shared my suspicion that the Facebook problem, no one making any money there, is as much our fault as Internet marketers as the platform creators.
This excellent article from Huffington provides the reasons why we fail in Facebook and every point here rings TRUE. If you have other tactics we IMers need to change to be successful in Facebook share your thoughts. I will grind on it to and see what I come up with.

Census of Population and Housing, 1980 [United States]: Master Area Reference File (MARF) 2 (ICPSR 8258)
Principal Investigator(s): United States Department of Commerce. Bureau of the Census
MARF is the 1980 Census counterpart of the Master Enumeration District List (MEDList) prepared for the 1970 census. It links state or state equivalent, county or county equivalent, minor civil division (MCD)/census county division (CCD), and place names with their respective geographic codes. It is also an abbreviated summary file containing selected population and housing unit counts. MARF 2 has the same geographic coverage as the first MARF and includes the following additional information: FIPS place codes, latitude and longitude coordinates for geographic areas down to the BG/ED level, land area in square miles for geographic areas down to the level of places or minor civil divisions (for 11 selected states) with a population of 2,500 or more, total population and housing count estimates based on sample returns, and per capital income for all geographic areas included in the file. There are 51 files, one for each state and the District of Columbia.

Ask Marilyn: Scissors for Trimming Hair
Ron Sheinson of Silver Spring, Maryland, writes:
Marilyn: I know very well not to use fabric scissors on paper. (December 23, 2012) My wife would kill me. I'm writing to mention the scissors she got me so I can trim my hair. The blades on these small barbers' scissors have parallel grooves. The grooves hold the strands of hair so they do not slip away and slide down the blades when closing them to cut. They're a great help. The key to many, many applications is employing the proper tools.
Marilyn responds:
Thank you, Ron.

If you guys have watched my videos for a while, you've probably seen me wearing this necklace to the left... (kind of an old pic!)
Anyway, I always get questions about it and actually mentioned it in a few videos I think-- the brand and where to get it. The brand is "House of Harlow" which is Nicole Richie's jewelry line. You'd think the stuff which is often pictured on celebrities and mostly made with good materials--think 14k gold, leather, etc-- would be outrageously expensive.
While I purchased my beloved necklace for $95 at a boutique-most items are less than half this price. Since purchasing mine, I've seen some websites carrying it for around $115. A lot of sites that are selling House of Harlow and trying to make a profit by jacking up the price of the pieces, so be careful. Larger stores like Bloomingdales have started carrying the line as well and with the actual prices which are much lower than what some websites will try to get for the pieces. There are some larger items like headpieces and larger cuffs that can go for a little more because they're larger, but that's about it.
What gets me is that all the pieces feel heavy and are made well.
These are the other items I own from the collection-
I LOVE these because they literally go with anything-- especially cute with the necklace above :)
They actually come in lots of colors-- Mine are the black, pictured
I think these are such a steal-- mostly because they are made of good materials and are actually quite large. About the size of a quarter.
...and my favorite, the super huge obnoxious Sunburst ring, 14k gold & leather, this one retails for around $45-50
This one is my favorite because it's quite large and unusual, but mine actually used to belong to Kim Kardashian which I think is kind of cool. I got it from her popular ebay store where she sells her actual things with proceeds going to charity, which I love. What's funny is that I paid the same price it would have cost retail, which is kind of cool.
You can see just how big it is in this picture:
To find retailers, lots of options come up on Google-- There are literally so many sites that sell this stuff! But just compare prices like I said-- Beware of sites that jack up the prices!

Kevin Clash, long the voice of Elmo on Sesame Street, is taking an indefinite leave of absence under a same-sex pedophilia allegation.
¶Mr. Clash elaborated in a statement later on Monday. I am a gay man, he said. I have never been ashamed of this or tried to hide it, but felt it was a personal and private matter. I had a relationship with the accuser. It was between two consenting adults and I am deeply saddened that he is trying to characterize it as something other than what it was. I am taking a break from Sesame Workshop to deal with this false and defamatory allegation.
The Sesame Workshop executive said three outside firms had investigated the matter on behalf of the various parties involved and the organization conducted its own internal investigation. As recently as Nov. 7, the accusers attorney indicated to the Sesame Workshop that he did not have any proof that his client was underage at the time of the relationship, according to the executive at the organization.

Sinners & Saints 1926 - 1931
Various artsts.
Informative booklet notes by Paul Oliver.
Detailed discography.
Review by Burgin Mathews:
Documents Sinners and Saints (1926-1931) presents the complete recorded works of nine artists and groups, whose combined repertoires and performance styles serve as a brief but fascinating lesson in the history of black music, expanding common conceptions of the musical continuum that created the blues. The CD presents minstrel and medicine show material, religious songs, two work songs, a few so-called blues, and a bad man blues ballad, exhibiting a wide scope of black musical traditions dating back to the 19th century and still in circulation during the 1920s and 30s. The performers not only represent a variety of genres, but demonstrate highly individualized styles that reflect their own personal aesthetics as much as any traditional form. The tones of their offerings range from the bizarre and the mirthful to the plaintive and deeply spiritual; the total effect of the album is hilarious, dark, and genuinely moving. Continued...

Happy Memorial Day Weekend
But before we all part ways for a long weekend of beer, burgers and general relaxation, I pass on an interesting YouTube video sent in by MZone reader RA. Since embedding was disabled, unfortunately I can only include the link below. But suffice it to say, you won't be disappointed.
So click here and enjoy!

I was there in the law library the day that they filmed that....
or was it the Union ball room????
- May 23, 2008 6:53 AM

It looks like the Union Ball Room.
Aside from that, and the fact that Yost might be promising us that he is never going to "give us up" I ummmmm is missing the point here!

I concur with Catie and did not understand the way of that video. But alas maybe we were not supposed to?? Anyway yes a happy weekend to all. I have not looked forward to a weekend like this in some time. As my family structure breaks down an my job is just an annoyance it will be a welcome break to actually have a weekend of plus 70 degree weather. My itinerary goes something like this. Sat: work all day in the big brown truck. Come home change breaks on a POS Jetta. Drink heavily. Sun golf and drink heavily at 630 in the morning. Come home continue to work on said POS Jetta. Continue to drink heavily. Monday morning wake up early drink coffee and smoke cigar on back porch while watching the insanely low C130 flyover my house. Dig some holes in yard to start my Government stimulus fence my dog received. Drink heavily. All the while trying not to kill my family or take my newborn daughter and flee to a Corona commercial.
Enjoy your weekend.

Amazing lead-in to the holiday weekend.
What's more amazing is that I'm 98% sure that this is the SECOND time in the last 6 months or so that I've seen that song linked from a CFB blog. (EDSBS? Orson's always posting random videos.)
Again, thanks for helping start out the weekend the right way.

Phil that was funny! It is my favorite saying, only I never used "that" word before!!
Thanks Josh for making me feel REALLY stupid for watching the entire video, coz I thought that there had to be SOMETHING I was suppose to see! :P

By the way - funny vid got forwarded to me the other day about a beer bonging tailgating incident gone bad.

You bastard.

If you're looking for some sports to enjoy this weekend, the NCAA lacrosse championship is fun to watch. The semifinals are Saturday at Noon (on ESPN2) and the final is on Memorial Day itself (on ESPN). I'm an active campaigner for the sport, which is growing much faster than any other, and I blog about it regularly on Facebook (I think next fall I'm gonna start a formal blog related to college lacrosse as well as football, basketball, and ice hockey). Lax is a Memorial Day tradition and I intend to preach the gospel.

Also, this weekend, there's this little game between a team in Michigan against some team from Pennsylvania, The Pittsburgh Crosby's or something like that. I know this a college football site, but I'm sure some of us are wings fans as well. Go Wings!
- May 23, 2008 12:23 PM

And don't forget the NCAA Softball Super Regional U of M vs. VaTech LIVE from Ann Arbor, Saturday at Noon and Sunday at 1 pm (and 3 pm if needed)

What do you have to say to this-- particularly the third comment?

I know I would definitely be in the minority, but there's lots of Pennsylvanians who've moved to Metro Detroit in the last 30 years.

Also for great sports television this weekend the F1 race from Monaco is this Sunday on Speed. Qualifying is Saturday. For those of you video gamers this is the Cote D'Azur track on Gran Turismo. Amazing sites and so much money it's ridiculous.

I took my Rick Roll like a man and watched the whole thing. Is it sad/gay that I actually like that song?
- May 23, 2008 3:51 PM

Usually I actually GO to the lacrosse championship on Memorial Day weekend. Go to the beach? Barbecue? No, just lacrosse and Italian food. But I'm not going this year because it's in Foxboro, where there's NOTHING to do. It was in Philly two years ago and I went and had a blast.
Besides lacrosse, I guess there's the NBA and NHL playoffs to watch.

My local high school just started a lacrosse club, and since part of my living is photographing high school sports here, I may have to start paying some attention to the sport. If I do add it to my workload, I'm looking forward to learning more about it; I got to watch it once on TV, and it looked like a sport I'd really enjoy being around, but this is really my first chance to really be around it regularly.
- May 23, 2008 11:31 PM

Keep in mind I'm available as a freelance parent slapper if lacrosse parents are just as idiotic as most others.
Just noticed your clip was sent in from MZone reader "RA". Damn it you're a clever bastard.

Actually, most northern lacrosse programs (Syracuse comes to mind) are very blue collar. I've seen many fans on IL rail on Princeton, Hopkins, Virginia, Duke, and UNC for being soccer momish wine and cheese programs (which is pretty much the case). And you'd be surprised at the amount of blue collar support for the sport.
Also, there's a part of me that thinks the wait for Michigan lacrosse will soon come to an end for several reasons:
1. The Big East is likely forming a men's lacrosse league in 2010, and Notre Dame will thus have to leave the GWLL, meaning that league will need a new team to make it keep its auto bid.
2. Michigan, who just won the club "National Championship" in lacrosse, was at a combine at Hopkins.
3. If Title IX is a concern, they can just add a women's team, too. And I know you guys like co-eds at this blog, and I must say that lacrosse women are way sexier than cheerleaders, particularly in the north.

I saw that score, heh. Congrats to Michigan softball. You know, I always found college softball more appealing than college baseball, heh. Congrats to Michigan on their win.
You should get into it, T9. You missed some VERY exciting games today. Syracuse erased a third quarter five goal deficit to win in double overtime, and Hopkins did what no one thought anyone could do: beat Duke.
I have a feeling that when lacrosse spreads outside the Northeast, it will begin to have a large following (in the Northeast there are a lot of people who follow it as vigorously as they follow football and basketball and in my case ice hockey as well; I try to follow all four sports if I can).

Well it's 5:30. Went to bed at 1am also. Not feeling so good but that's why I have a cooler full of beer and cigars to get me through the day's festivities. Leaving for golf in a minute but must stop at a local gas station and purchase one of their gallons of coffee. Enjoy day 2 of your weekend people. I hope to spend some time lying on the couch watching million dollar cars go way faster than any other car around a very small and tight track later.
It's a shame they don't ever race in the US.

Is there any hockey or basketball on tonight (my question mark key is broken) If not, I have nothing to do. I don't consider stock car racing to be a sport.

Just finished watching the lax NC, and Syracuse won.
And for those of you who still think this is a niche sport, 48,790 people attended, which was a record for the third year in a row.
Still waiting for Michigan to get a team. Until then, we'll have to settle for football and ice hockey (and hopefully basketball someday before I turn 30).

Well, it's popular in the South and in the country. I live in the city in the Northeast. I'm not denying Nascar's popularity. I'm just saying it's regional, that's all, just like lacrosse is.
People once called me un-American (and more recently slurs based on sexual orientation) for liking lacrosse, which is ironic considering we celebrate our sport on Memorial Day weekend. :)

The CD includes Virus 089 and Virus 102 &" singles!
"Sounding more like one of those supergroups with a who's who lineup (Jello Biafra, Charlie - King Snake Roost, Lubricated Goat - Tolnay, and Steel Pole Bathtub's Darren Mar-X and Dale Flattum), Tumor Circus grabs your attention with a roar. No egos get in the way of the music here. Biafra's distinctive vocals top off a heavy, swirling musical mix powered by throbbing rhythms. Very in-your-face, hard-hitting stuff, not just musically, but lyrically as well. "- Mapp
"This band is actually the latest flavor in the world of Jello - Biafra, that is. This is sort of the closest thing to an actual band for Mr. Jello since the Dead Kennedys. Let's see… he's used up DOA, Nomeansno,Ministry (Lard), in all of which he's essentially worked as the guest vocalist. This project borrows Charlie Tolnay from King Snake Roost and Lubricated Goat, and Mike, Dale, and Darren Steel Pole Bathtub. The result: the slowest, dirgiest, grungiest conglomeration that Jello has ever lent vocals to. The verdict: it works! That is, it works if you can bear listening to a DKs album at half speed for about an hour. If you thought Jello's voice was high and whiney, wait'll you hear it low, slow and dirgish! Gotta love the lyrics too. Scaaaary!"- Unknown Reviewer
"Consisting of Jello Biafra, the members of Steel Pole Bathtub and King Snake Roost guitarist Charles Tolnay, this self-titled platter just might be the perfect way to tell your loved one this holiday season that you'd do it all over again. As lines like "Is that a cattle prod in your pocket or are you just glad to see me?" from "Meathook Up My Rectum" ride atop aching guitar manglings and loping, fuzz-drenched bass lines, the effect of this album on the listener is something close to standing nervously beside rusty, unoiled machinery that buckles, hisses, and squeals incessantly as it threatens to explode in your face over and over again but never quite does. Perhaps the most special moments on this one are "Hazing for Success," which rolls like a cold thunder before a storm, and "Calcutta A-Go-Go" which just plain burns, but this is certainly not an album to skip through. So put down that curly fry maker and try stuffin' a little Tumor Circus down that stocking instead."- Rockpool Magazine

Why bother to even play the games?
And how did the USA Today Coaches Poll and the Harris Interactive Poll - the two polls used to help determine the BCS title game participants - "punish" the Trojans for what many are calling, point spread-wise, the greatest upset in college football history? By dropping them from the top spot in both of those polls all the way down...to #7.
Then there's Illinois. Ron Zook's resurgent team played undefeated and previously-fifth ranked Wisconsin Saturday. The Badgers carried the nation's longest winning streak, 14, into the game. But the Illini shocked the Badgers, 31-26.
So what happened in the Coaches and Harris polls? Wisconsin dropped from #5 to #15 in both. And Illinois? After beating ranked teams two weeks in a row (and with their lone loss being a six point defeat at the hands of undefeated and 11th ranked Missouri - a game in which Mizzou had to intercept an Illini pass at the 1 yard line with :51 seconds left to preserve victory), Illinois entered the polls for the first time this season at...#19.
What crock of shit.
If these pollsters are going to give more weight to which is the better team on paper, or based on preseason hype, or to the "name" program - instead of what happens on the field - they might as well not even bother to rank teams.
How can anyone justify USC's continued lofty ranking unless it's some lifetime - or maybe Pete Carroll-time - achievement award for the previous couple of seasons? Because such a ranking can't be based on what happened on the field this year. The week before Stanford's history-making upset, the Trojans struggled against 2-3 Washington. And USC's "big" victory over Nebraska earlier in the season suddenly doesn't look so good after undefeated Missouri beat the Huskers even worse - yes, the same undefeated Missouri team which is ranked four spots lower although they have more impressive wins.
More impressive, that is, if you base your ranking on what's happened this season rather than what was supposed to happen. Illinois wasn't supposed to be as good as they are. But somebody apparently forget to tell them...and the pollsters. So not only do the Illini get punished in the rankings, but teams such as Mizzou, who beat them before folks knew how good they were, do as well by not getting proper credit.
And Wisconsin, although returning a load of starters from last season's 11-1 team - the two primary reasons for its top ten preseason ranking - has struggled all season against such juggernauts as UNLV and The Citadel. However, the pollsters in the two polls that count seem to still be basing their rankings on last season and this June.
And those are just the most egregious examples of poll bs this week. BS that would be simply a head-scratcher if it didn't hold such sway and affect so much in the sport of college football.
Yes, I know where you're going next: unfortunately, a debate today - early October, 2007 in the middle of the season - about a playoff won't change anything this year. Thus, I'd like to instead offer a small tidbit of advice to the folks making the decisions - and filling out the polls - who do impact the game to such a large degree for the foreseeable future: get your heads out of your asses! Pay attention to what's happening on the goddamn field this season! Just because a team was ranked high by Phil Steele in the dead of summer based on how the spring game went doesn't mean you have to keep them ranked high when this season turns out differently than predicted!
Look, I know polls, by their very nature, are an inexact science. But how about some common sense and basic logic? Because you're embarrassing yourselves and, more importantly, the game with crap like this.

what kills me is that when michigan lost to appy state, they dropped completely out of the rankings. UM was favored by a lot i'm sure, but not 41, or at least I would not imagine by that many. USC loses to a 41 point under-dog (with their 1,234,648 home game winning streak) and drop 6 spots. it's amazing the amount of respect (or obsession) the media has with that piece of shit institution.

Thank you, Yost. You're the only one brave enough to tell everyone this. I, too, am pissed at this week's poll. How the hell the TrOJans manage to be a top ten team after that loss is beyond me. Especially after what Appy State did to us. Goes to show you the media loves two schools best of all: Notre Lame and U$C.
And for all the Florida defenders, remember they lost to Auburn a week ago, who lost to lowly Mississippi State. Yeah it was LSU this week, but Florida could very easily be a one loss team. They're not.

neither poll has much reason to it. how do you take schools like Mizzou or UC and leave them out of the top ten behind so many one loss teams? i think a lot of pollsters look down their list and compare not a team's record, but which teams they think would beat another. i.e.; "well, USC would be Mizzou if they played, so i'll rank the Trojans ahead of them".
of course this is inconsistent w/ ranking a team ahead of another team that they've already lost to- wisconsin being ranked ahead of Illinois in the coaches poll.
actually, the coaches poll seems (to me) more screwed up than the AP. the cock's lost relatively close to LSU & are ranked 12. Va Tech was blown out by LSU, but is ranked 10. likewise, in the "also receiving votes" portion, PSU is still getting more votes than michigan, despite both teams having 2 losses and michigan having won the head to head.
if there are pollsters out there who just aren't going to vote for michigan all season because we lost to a DI-AA school? good for them- i can't blame them. but that doesn't explain the rest of the chaos in the polls. doesn't explain big east wvu being ranked ahead of undefeated UC, or usc losing to a 40 pt dawg dropping 5 or 9 places, instead of a dozen or more> if the penalty for losing to a 40 pt dawg di-aa school is dropping 20+ places, shouldn't the penalty for losing to stanford be at least half that?

Yeah, polls are crap. I think a lot of the reason for the big discrepency in # places dropped after a loss have to do with the impression of a team's strength overall. Wisky, Kentucky, and others have been riding high in the polls for the sole reason they're undefeated. As soon as they notched losses, they basically lost the only reason pollsters saw to keep them in the top 10. Had Wisky been kicking the crap out of opponents and playing well- then I believe they would still be in the top 10 or at least top 13. Kentucky didn't have the skillset that Wisky has in terms of players- to date however, they've been playing like they have. Still, notching a loss popped their only balloon holding them up. USCw: basically they would be competitive against shitty NFL teams regardless of their record, so perhaps pollsters believe a team's strength and skillset should be a big measure of where they should be ranked. I don't like USCw, but can realy not explain the polls in any other way.

More fuel on the Coaches poll fire...it should also be noted that USC is still ranked ahead of Oregon, whose loss was at the hands of the now #3 team in the country. As opposed to USC's loss to a 40-point underdog in Stanford, at home. What a joke.
- October 08, 2007 10:55 AM
- surrounded in columbus said...
and let's not forget just plain laziness. a lot of these guys- coaches and sportswriters- don't pay a lot of attention to their ballot. remember last year when FLA went from 4th to 2nd in a week? a lot of spin doctors explained that pollsters hadn't paid much attention to who they were voting 3rd/4th, but when it suddenly became a choice (between Michigan @ 3 or FLA @ 4) of which was #2? they THEN took a closer look. that may be truer than they want to admit.
i agree you get a lot of "they just had a bad night", drop them down a few, and let it go. i also think there's a lot of "fudge factor" in the comparisons.
finally, there's always a sense this will "work itself" out in the end. UC, USF, & WVU will eventually play a round robin. Oregon, USC, & Cal will do that too. over the next month or so the teams in the same conference will either take turns knocking each other out, or one team will sweep and emerge on top. once that happens, it will make stacking the top ten easier. so why waste a lot of time on it now??

Come on guys, who said the polls are anything more than a popularity contest anyway, there is no real reason to it?
However, being a longtime USC fan I am a little surprised at not dropping further in the polls. Yet the Trojans were hardly playing with a full deck. The QB broke a finger in the 2nd QTR, two starting offensive line out, backups are nursing injuries, leading tailback out, 3rd string cornerback in, big time linebacker out, and more.
Let me ask the Big Blue fans again, if Hart was out, Henne out, two offensive lineman out, etc etc. how would you expect to play?
The Trojans are not the same team they started with at the beginning of the season, eight starters out, others playing hurt. So what you say? That's part of the game.
USC won't be healthy for another couple of weeks, and will not this year have the original starting team back ever.
Cheer up guys, the odds of USC winning out now are extremely slim, evena top 10 finish against all odds.
Fight on!

As an avid college football watcher, and working in the sports industry, I was OFFENDED by the rankings. This strongly shows you CANNOT have pre-season rankings...who is to say that Michigan WAS #5 pre-season? Because we look good on paper???
I understand we lost to a 1-AA team, but at least that team won their division 2 years in a row, and would kick the crap out of the Cardinal. When was the last time Stanford had a winning season??? Michigan will be punished all season, I get that, but to not punish SC is a travesty to college football watchers everywhere.
Rankings are a joke! The media likes the story line of JD Booty going home to play LSU in the title game blah blah blah and if they dropped SC too low in the rankings they wouldn't be able to claw their way back to the top.
I agree with what everyone is saying, you can't judge a team on PAST performances, judge them on what they are doing on the field THIS MOMENT!
Ok, I am off my soapbox....(I'm only preaching to the choir)

If USC is not the same now as they were to start the season, then why in the hell should they be ranked NOW based on what they were like to start the season? Rank them according to how they are now - probably #12 or #13. USC's qb broke his finger mid-game - Stanford STARTED their backup and played him the whole game.

Der schatten,
the Gay-tors would struggle with Illinois, and i don't think the Bucks would overlook them like they did last year. You can toot your own horn all you want, but don't you think anyone in the Mid-west is scared of the Gators.

Right on Yost. BIG props for sticking up for the Illini here.
1.) eliminate USA and AP polls prior to week 8 (including pre-season polls). This will eliminate a lot of the hype-based influence as well as some of the prestige bias.
2.) If USC drops from 2 to 7, then Michigan should not have dropped from the polls after losing to App. State. Appalachian State beats Stanford IMO. No, I really don't like Michigan, but they were screwed. Based on the pollsters logic (in regards to USC and FLA), UM should be in the top 15-20 by now.

I used to care about rankings. The truth is that they only matter at the end of the season when you are deciding #1 and #2 to play for the championship game. Every other bowl game goes to teams based primarily on their conference standing.
It's all bullshit.
- October 08, 2007 1:43 PM
- WillinSacto said...
Even though we have polls at the FCS level, Yost's point is the main reason why we have the NCAA Div. I Football National Championship. 16 (soon to be 18) teams fight it out on the field...not some BS poll. Thank God the Football Committee doesn't take into account as much the FCS polls.
Look at it this way, at least Michigan can still win the Big Ten and get to the Rose Bowl this year despite those two losses.
- October 08, 2007 1:49 PM
- Matt said...
But the truth is that this season has made no sense whatsoever. I had a feeling USC would lose eventually, just not to Standford.
Clemson started off hot but now sucks.
How the hell did Colorado beat OU, who destroyed Miami, an okay team?
I feel bad for Utah, even though they were once coached by Urban Meyer. They were considered a longshot for the BCS because of their tough OOC schedule against Oregon St, UCLA, and Louisville. Well guess what? They lost to the least tough of those 3, and Hawaii is now the favorite to "crash the BCS party." And how did UCLA get destroyed--I understand them losing, but getting destroyed??--by Utah and then lose to ND?
Utah had a slow start, clearly. UCLA should fire Carl Dorrell, that's for sure! ND did get a little better. They sucked so much in the beginning because of Charlie Weis's ego and shortsightedness.

"Let me ask the Big Blue fans again, if Hart was out, Henne out, two offensive lineman out, etc etc. how would you expect to play?"
That is exactly what Michigan has faced, minus hart. We've had Henne out, completely reshuffled our offensive line because of injuries (4th stringers start), Manningham benched, our best LB's in street clothers, our TE injured, etc.
I'm not pimping UM over USC here; it's not an excuse for a loss to Stanford at home.
- October 08, 2007 1:56 PM
- SA said...
Kudos Yost. Kudos.
I'm not even going to bring up Michigan because everyone has already said it. Why is Georgia still in these polls? Let's see: lost to USCe AT HOME, get blown out against Tennessee and still ranked? What about Hawaii? Look, I don't watch WAC football, but they're undefeated. Cincinnati's ranking will just make me scream.
I would say fuck the pollsters, but that's too good for them.

A bit of a threadjack here, but I owe you and any other pro-Les Miles UM fan an apology after that heavyweight bout Saturday night.
I've been dinging The Hat for a long time, ever since his Okie Lite teams couldn't hold 4 TOUCHDOWN halftime leads against my Longhorns two years in a row. And ever since he lost two games last year to Auburn and Florida - games the Tigers had absolutely no business losing.
I'm giving you all of this now false justification for doubting Miles to say that I was wrong about him - he can coach at least a little. I'm not totally sold yet, and that's mainly due to Urban Meyer's own coaching meltdown in that game.
But I will say this: He coached a damn fine game Saturday against a quality opponent, and you won't see me ding him anymore.
LSU deserves to be #1 right now. I don't think there's any controversy there.

Good stuff. One could see a lot of this carnage coming because of the tendency to overrate certain teams. Yet, some loses just came out of the blue. One of the main reasons I love college ball.
This year, being in the top five is an invitation to sit in the death seat. I was so glad to see tOSU down in the polls at the start of the season. Now, I'm feeling anxious.
The rest of the season should be a blast. Still a rough gauntlet to run through for many teams.

How do you "overlook" a team you are playing in the national championship game ?
- October 08, 2007 2:45 PM
- WingRG said...
i'm not sure (it really bothers me that they did). But anyone that's seen OSU last year will tell you that the team didn't show up on Jan. 8th. If i had to explain it, i think it comes from seating around for 51 days and listening to everyone (media/fans) telling the players that they're the best team and that the other team doesn't stand a chance.
It's clear to me that the Bucks didn't show up that day. It's also clear to me that as long as there's anyone left on the team that suffered through that embarassment, it won't happen again.

I hope Illinois wins out and gets to the title game. The Big Ten needs to make a statement and overcome the disrespect we've brough on ourselves with lackluster play. tOSU had its shot and started the downward spiral with the shameful loss to Florida and Michigan (my alma mater) doesn't deserve a top bowl after those first two loses. Really us getting to the Rose Bowl, unless the Big Ten winner gets the title game, would be a disgrace given our level of play. Let's not become the Big East.

Geez, Louise,
You get to the title game ranked #1 in the country and end up losing (it happens) and it's off to the land of the misfit toys?
That's a pretty high bar.

- Buckeyehusker said...
While I agree that the polls are complete crap, I just couldn't resist posting a reply to voctoria on how tOSU does not deserve to go because they "had their chance". Come on now....bit harsh, don't 'cha think? You lose one year (and someone HAS to lose, remember) and you should be banished from the chance the following year, regardless of how you play on the field THAT year? I would hate to think I am smelling sour grapes. If tOSU makes it there, then they deserve it. If michigan makes it to the Rose Bowl, then they deserve it. Its all in how the season ends, not begins.

hear hear Yost.
It will be interesting to see what the BcS computers do to the rankings once other variables are factored in.
The pundits will all be talking about the "huge shake up" in the polls, when in actuality it will be a well-needed CORRECTION.
(underlying assumption is that the BcS is a valid measure which it isn't but go with me on this one..)
Worse than sorority rush, these damned polls
- October 08, 2007 5:10 PM
- Yost said...
LOL re: sorority rush, T9.
And so true about it being a correction rather than shake up.
- October 08, 2007 5:13 PM
- surrounded in columbus said...
correction or shake up, it doesn't really mean an improvement. there may be a gaggle of one loss teams that are objectively better than some of the undefeated remaining, or, who by the end of the season, will be better.
look at last year's polls. painful as it is to admit, tosu and michigan both were highly over rated for most of the season. fans for either team can concoct excuses, but the truth is that both usc & fla were both much better teams- coaching & talent- than any big ten team.
there's no promise that this shake up will really fix anything, nor any of the changes down the road. the polls will continue to give you a "ranking" of #s 1 & 2, and the BCS will give you a match up game, but until you have a playoff? you'll never who really is best.
- October 08, 2007 6:30 PM
- Mikoyan said...
I would almost rather see a return to the pre-BCS days if they are not going to have a playoff. The polls suck and there is too much gamesmanship going on in the Coaches Poll (I wonder how many times a rival of one couch has been voted down because of that). Neither poll is terribly objective.
I also agree with the notion that we shouldn't have a poll until about the 4th or 5th week of the season. Under the current system, a team can start at #1 and as long as they keep winning, will stay there. Sometimes they will stay there if the lose by a small amount. It takes close to a miracle for a team to come from the bottom of the pack. It is next to impossible for a team from one of the non-annointed conferences to crack the hallowed ground (I can't imagine a Boise State getting to 1 or 2).
One more slant against the polls, they pretty much encourage teams to run up the score. Most coaches know that sportwriters (or other coaches) can't watch every game. They do however see the final score, so if a team has a chance they will try to get more points than really needed. This is not sportsmanship. I think the polls also encourage scheduling the cupcakes since you can easily amass points against them.

This double CD, accompanied by a twenty-four page colour booklet, compliments the book, television documentary and DVD of the same name. It features some of the very best blues to have been recorded from the early "Classic" female blues and "Country Blues" of the nineteen-twenties through to the electric "Down Home" blues of Chicago.
Whether you are a collector or just inquisitive about what the blues are and the history the music, this CD is one of the finest collections of vintage blues recordings available. Continued...

Our knowledge of Battlefield 4 is pretty limited, but at least a few parties are now privy to more information on the upcoming game. At least one retailer has reported that Electronic Arts has shown the title privately, fueling speculation of an impending reveal.
GameStop (via NeoGAF) tweeted that EA had shown the game, and EA's own Origin subsequently confirmed the account with a retweet. "Got to see Battlefield 4 today and all I can say is WOW!" the tweet read. "Thanks @EA for the sneak peek. Can't wait for you all to see it." We know that the game is at least getting a beta in the fall.
It could be mere coincidence, but the timing seems suspiciously close to Sony's event tonight, where it is expected to debut its next console hardware. Sony already enjoyed a relationship with the series, gaining timed exclusive access to Battlefield 3 expansions as an answer to Microsoft's similar deal with Call of Duty.
