Canzler ready to settle in after offseason's twists
Looking to establish big league career, first baseman finally lands with Orioles
By Jordan Bastian / 2/6/2013 6:40 P.M. ET
CLEVELAND -- It has been said that life is not about the destination, but the journey. That saying became a bit too literal for Russ Canzler this past weekend, when he felt the time had come to begin planning his journey south for Spring Training.
Canzler did not have a destination.
With his wife, Kim, and 10-month-old son, Henry, in tow, Canzler would load up their car and begin making the 1,200-mile trek from their home in Pennsylvania to Florida. They could swing by his sister's place in Maryland, and visit his wife's dad in North Carolina. Eventually, the Canzlers would see some more family down in Tampa.
Maybe, somewhere along the journey, a team would buzz Canzler's cell phone with some news. He had already been picked up or let go by the Indians, Blue Jays and Yankees. If his new team trained in Arizona, they would just catch a flight to Phoenix from Florida. Enough waiting and wondering.
"I said, 'Let's just go," Canzler said. "'Let's just go down there, see what happens and let it all play out.'"
As he made his plans with his family, Canzler's phone rang. It was Orioles general manager Dan Duquette, calling to welcome the first baseman to the Baltimore organization. The Orioles claimed him off waivers from New York, because they were looking for a right-handed hitter who could play a few positions and Canzler fit the mold.
Another member of Baltimore's front office got in touch with Canzler's agent to talk things over.
"He told my agent, 'We assure you he's not going to be designated for assignment before Spring Training,'" said Canzler, who then chuckled. "I think we're set. I think I can book a hotel now."
March 30, 2012: Indians option Canzler to Triple-A Columbus
Canzler's locker inside Cleveland's Spring Training facility -- located closest to the showers, and a few steps from the clubhouse exit -- had been cleared out and he was long gone. He came into camp as a long shot for a spot on the Opening Day roster as it was, but it was another matter entirely that prompted Canzler's disappearing act.
On March 29 -- technically Canzler's final day in camp with the Tribe -- his wife gave birth to their son. It was an emotional high that easily overcame any lingering disappointment over not cracking Cleveland's roster. Canzler was ticketed for Columbus, where he would continue his push toward the big leagues, while balancing a growing family.
Then, tragedy struck Canzler's family.
A little more than a week into the season, Canzler's uncle, Peter Petrole, passed away suddenly. Within 48 hours, Canzler's grandfather on his mom's side (Peter's dad), died following heart complications. Canzler was close with both men, and the news of their deaths hit him and the rest of his family hard.
"My uncle Pete was a huge supporter of mine," Canzler said. "He sacrificed vacation time every year to come see me play. He was always the really loud guy in the crowd. You'd hear him from every part of the stadium yelling for me. He'll definitely be missed. I think about those guys a lot. They both meant a lot to me."
On the field, Canzler was hitting .236 with no home runs and just three RBIs through April 25. He admits that the situation off the field was weighing on him. It was hard enough trying to open some eyes and get a chance in the big leagues. Now, he had a mix of both joy over his newborn son and grief over the loss of two family members toying with his emotions.
Canzler knew he had to pull himself together.
"It was a tough time," he said. "After the initial shock, and having some time to think about it, and think about their memory, and grieving for them, I thought about how they'd want me to be out here having fun, playing and not worrying about the next day."
Dec. 18, 2012: Indians designate Canzler for assignment
Canzler was excited about his potential future with Cleveland. The ballclub parted ways with aging designated hitter Travis Hafner and appeared to have at-bats available for Canzler at first base, DH or even in the outfield.
After his turbulent April, Canzler hit .270 with 22 home runs, 34 doubles and 76 RBIs across his final 112 games at Triple-A. He was promoted to the Majors on Sept. 1, and answered by hitting a respectable .269 with three homers and 11 RBIs in 26 games down the stretch. Canzler felt he took advantage of his opportunity.
He was a low-round Draft pick (selected by the Cubs in the 30th round in 2004) who, following nine seasons in the Minors, had finally been given a chance to shake the label of "fringe" player.
"I feel pretty good," said Canzler, standing at his locker in the Indians' clubhouse at the end of last season. "I feel like my confidence is high. I just think it was good for me to get the amount of at-bats that I did, because sometimes when you're in the Minor Leagues a long time you can kind of get caught up in the aura of the Major Leagues.
"But when you're up here every day, and you're competing against these guys, it's the same game. I know I belong here."
Here is just no longer Cleveland.
Things changed for Canzler after the Indians -- with their 40-man roster at capacity -- signed first baseman Mark Reynolds to be the full-time first baseman. Suddenly, those at-bats at first for Canzler were no longer available, and he became expendable.
"It was a really difficult decision," Indians general manager Chris Antonetti said of removing Canzler from the roster. "We were in a roster crunch. We were at 40 and we had to clear a spot. We examined a lot of different ways to clear that spot, but in the end we felt that Russ was the guy we needed to designate."
Canzler understood the situation, and accepted it.
"I have a ton of respect for Chris and for the Indians organization," Canzler said. "They gave me an opportunity last season. I think it was one of those situations where, it's definitely a baseball cliche, but you hear, 'Right place, right time.' That's so true."
Jan. 4, 2013: Yankees claim Canzler off waivers
Canzler was beginning to feel like he was getting a crash course in the business of baseball.
"I've had a lot of good conversations with different general managers this winter," he said with a laugh.
On Dec. 21, following being let go by Cleveland, Canzler was claimed off waivers by the Blue Jays.
"That was definitely a shocker," he said.
It was not Toronto general manager Alex Anthopoulos who called the first baseman, though. Canzler spoke with another member of Toronto's front office and it quickly became clear that he probably would not be sticking with the Blue Jays for long.
Toronto has grabbed the spotlight this offseason was a slew of blockbuster additions, but the club has also been one of baseball's most active teams on the waiver wire. The Blue Jays have claimed an assortment of players with the goal of building up its depth at Triple-A Buffalo. A player such as Canzler, however, would need to clear waivers in order to be sent to the Minors.
Canzler was exposed to waivers again by the Blue Jays, and claimed back by the Indians on Jan. 2.
After signing free-agent pitcher Brett Myers, though, Cleveland once again tried to pass Canzler through waivers. This time around, the 26-year-old first baseman was claimed by the Yankees. New York had a need for a right-handed hitter and Canzler seemed to be the type of player who might get a real shot at filling that role.
Playing in the Yankees' system seemed like a match made in baseball heaven, too. Canzler could train in Tampa near relatives and, if he did not make the Opening Day roster, he might've suited up for Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. The Canzler's just moved into a house roughly a half hour from that Minor League stadium.
"We were all set," Canzler said. "We thought it worked out."
The Yankees then entered talks with Hafner about bringing the DH to the Bronx -- an idea that had Canzler excited. Last September, Hafner and Canzler were a few lockers apart, and the veteran did his part to make the first baseman feel at ease in the Majors.
"He was really nice to me, really nice to the younger guys," Canzler said. "He was kind of that calm presence that made us all feel comfortable and helped us enjoy our time."
When the Yankees signed Hafner, though, Canzler had a sudden realization.
"It hit me," he said. "I was like, 'Oh, wait. Uh oh. Wait a minute. We're at 40 on the roster again.'"
On Friday, the Yankees designated Canzler for assignment.
Feb. 5, 2013: Orioles claim Canzler off waivers
Canzler has done all he can to maintain a sense of humor throughout this whirlwind of an offseason he and his family have experienced.
"It's been fun," Canzler said. "I was thinking about buying all the hats of the teams I've been on this winter."
He is hoping that the list stops at four now that Baltimore has added him to the fold.
In a previous year, Canzler is not sure how he would have handled the uncertainty that this winter has thrust upon his life. After the ups and downs of last April, and the taste he received of the big leagues in September, he feels he has been better equipped to not only accept, but to understand the reality of what has taken place in the past two months.
"Let's face it, we play a game where there's not a lot in our control," Canzler said. "Especially in my situation right now. I'm one of those fringe guys. You can tell by what's been happening. I think a lot of teams look at me and say, 'Man, this guy can really contribute,' but at the same time, I don't know if I've had the experience, and I think that's what's killing me right now.
"I've told teams, I've said, 'Listen, every guy whose made a name for himself has gotten his break somehow, and gotten his opportunity and jumped on it.' That's all you can ask for as a player. I think I got the opportunity in Cleveland in September, and I think that's why I've been getting claimed and not clearing waivers."
On Wednesday, Canzler and his wife, Kim, finished loading their car and began their journey south toward Florida.
They are thrilled that they now have a destination -- for the time being.

Whoever said that reading was a religious experience was right, especially when taking a visit to Selexyz Dominicanen in Maastricht, Netherlands.
Having just won the Lensvelt de Architect Interior Prize 2007, this newest addition to the Selexyz book chain is well worth the visit to this medieval city if you are ever in the area.
Erected inside a former 800 year old Dominican church, this bookstore is said to hold the largest stock of books in English in Maastricht, one of the oldest cities in the country.
It was always going to be a challenging task for Amsterdam based architects Merkx + Girod who designed the space, to stay true to the original character and charm of the church, whilst also achieving a desirable amount of commercial space (there was only an available floor area of 750 m2, with a proposed retail space of 1200 m2). Taking advantage of the massive ceiling, both have been achieved through the construction of a multi-storey steel structure which houses the majority of the books. This is one giant bookshelf, with stairs and elevators taking shoppers and visitors alike, up to the heavens (mind the pun), to roof of the church.
To maintain a sense of symmetrical balance in the space, lower tables of best sellers and latest releases have been added to either side, and of course a small cafe at the back for readers to relax and enjoy a hot drink.
Overall a great example of how with clever thinking, spatial solutions can both achieve a suitable retail presence, whilst still respecting and remaining true to the original structure. By Brendan Mc Knight

Lately I've been told by more than one person to watch the TV show "The Big Bang Theory." I've been told that it's "the smartest show on TV" and what's more, I've heard so many people utter this little gem...
Last I checked I have a reasonable amount of brain power, so I was eager to see a sitcom filled with intelligent humor. For those who aren't familiar, "The Big Bang Theory" is a sitcom about two socially awkward but brilliantly smart physicists and their hot, blonde, (and pretty dumb) neighbor.
So with high expectations I sat down to watch a few episodes. My brain was ready for stimulation... but instead, what I was met with was a pretty typical sitcom. Fart jokes. Sex jokes. Puns. Sure, scientific references are thrown in (sometimes arbitrarily), but most of the jokes are just regular jokes disguised with bigger vocabulary words. And did I mention there are plenty of fart jokes? Now come on, do you really need to be an astrophysicist to understand a fart joke?
But worry not, friends, because after an 8 year doctorate program and $120,000 in school loans, I'm comfortable saying that I understand most of the show.
After I complete my night courses in whoopy cushions, I'll be well on my way to understanding this show.
So really, why do people think you have to be a genius to "get it?" I'm pretty sure a person with even below average intelligence can understand the humor in being socially awkward, or fumbling things up with a woman, or a goofy catchphrase. Let's face it, at its core this is all pretty lowbrow humor.
A fart joke by any other name is still a fart joke, folks, no matter how you dress it up. But if that's what it takes to be considered "smart humor", well, we can do that, too.
And there you have it. We're now officially the smartest blog on the net. But don't take our word for it. Just read these blurbs we completely made up.
"Humor so smart even *I* don't understand all of the jokes" - Stephen Hawking
"We're only a month into the year but I'm already calling it - the most important scientific discovery of 2013 will be the humor found in this blog" - Neil deGrasse Tyson
"The smartest blog in the entire history of the Internet, including the history yet to come" - Carl Sagan's Ghost
Cheers and stay intelligent, folks,
Bryan (and Brandon)

Congratulations on your pregnancy! Hope everything is going well.
I'm always reading tips like "If you have almond-shaped eyes, do this to play them up" or "If you have round eyes, apply shadow here", etc. This might seem like a dumb question, but how do you tell what shape your eyes (or your clients' eyes) are, and what are your suggestions for emphasizing each type? Thanks, and keep up the great work!

I have been following your sites for nearly a year, and I just want to say that I think you are a wonderful human being..As someone who has had their ups and downs (ugggh,lol ;)), I say don't listen or pay any attention to the negativity aimed at you..It's not worth it. You have brightened up my days with your creativity, heart, and fabulousness! :):):)..please, continue to do what you do and do MORE for yourself, your family, and for the adoring fans (particularly young girls everywhere)...I am an educated woman who considered studying make-up, but was always persuaded to go in the opposite direction. Well, that did nothing b/c I STILL am fascinated and have as much make-up as a San Francisco tranny.I love it all! You represent sweetness, love--so keep on truckin'! Te mando un beso y abrazo, Kandee (I send you a kiss and hug). :)

Awww! Some tears fell as I read that after your new precious cupcake is baked, you may never do anther Glaminar again. Although this makes me feel :( , that I may never have a chance to go to one (here in gorgeous lovely amazing Victoria BC ;) ) I think it's admirable that your priorities are in in good order and you are dedicating the next several years to be with your new little one. GFY!It's so important and vital for an infant to have their mommy and stability each day. At least until they understand what leaving for a few days means, not just in mind but in heart, so as not to traumatize them. I understand this personally from my own child-hood experience.
... But I hope dear Kandee, in 10 years from now! or more! that you can do more Glamiars!!! If not, that's okay I guess :/ ... we'll sill have your awesome videos and blogs :D !!!
Love you and bless you and all your family and loved ones!

when i saw your video i was like wow so pretty and when you said that you would give out hellokatty bag i WANT one but why would you pick me out of all these people. I'm really depressed. I'm unpopular at school, and kids are picking on me because I'm ugly. I've got this huge fat nose and a big forehead. but yeah when i saw some of your videos it made me feel better about myself how to dress and put on makeup...and all the gossip still goes on about my old side but i dont care because i know i look good either in the inside or outside because your videos inspires me to let the old me go and i really took a big step. and you wouldn't know how much i love hellokitty bags i got the bed set, some colthes, well i am still in love with hellokitty but back school its tight on my parents to buy me new stuff to back to school and i really would like a hellokitty purse. thank you take care......

text: You've probably seen the links in previous chatty posts by now but in case you missed it, check out the ComicCon trailer for AMC's The Walking Dead. Since the series isn't landing until October 31, I've decided to ruin the entire experience and read the graphic novels. Well, ruin might be the wrong word as AMC has stated that the adaptation is based on the series. This means it may see a number of changes, which fans may just have to start dealing with now or decide to ignore the show entirely. Sometimes changes work out for the better; however, sometimes changes can ruin the overall message or experience. For example, Watchmen was completely destroyed for me when the film decided to pull Dr. Manhattan's final, haunting lines of dialog and give them to a different character rendering them utterly meaningless. What do you think about changes to source material? Do you want a carbon copy or something more tuned to the new medium it's being translated to?

Armadillo is a C++ linear algebra library (matrix maths) aiming towards a good balance between speed and ease of use. The API is deliberately similar to Matlab's. Integer, floating point, and complex numbers are supported, as well as a subset of trigonometric and statistics functions. Various matrix decompositions are provided through optional integration with LAPACK and ATLAS numerics libraries. A delayed evaluation approach, based on template meta-programming, is used (during compile time) to combine several operations into one and reduce or eliminate the need for temporaries.
libcsdbg is a C++ exception stack tracer. When an exception is thrown, caught, and handled, libcsdbg offers the tools to create and process the exception stack trace, the path the exception has propagated up the call stack, unwinding it up to the section were it was handled. The traces are detailed with demangled function signatures and additional addr2line information (the source code file and line from which each function was called). libcsdbg can use all the well-known objective code file formats (a.out, elf, coff, ecoff, etc.) and can easily be used as the base for your own instrumentation code. libcsdbg transparently loads the symbol tables of the chosen dynamic libraries and of the executable, demangles function symbols to complete signatures, and binds function names to runtime addresses (even for the DSO symbols).
HC-SR04 Ultrasonic Arduino Library is specifically for the HC-SR04 ultrasonic sensor. It features timing, metric conversion, and standard deviation methods, plus a few support methods. It is written in C++ to conserve the namespace. The conversion formula can be easily modified to optimize the accuracy of conversion at different distances for inches and centimeters. Multiple buffers of different lengths can be created for determining standard deviation.
libxmp is a module player library which supports many mainstream and obscure module formats, including Protracker MOD, Scream Tracker III S3M, and Impulse Tracker IT. Possible applications for libxmp include standalone module players, module player plugins for other players, module information extractors, background music replayers for games and other applications, module-to-mp3 converters, etc.
PdfParser is a standalone PHP library that provides various tools for extracting data from PDF files. It loads and parses objects and headers, extracts meta data, and extracts text from ordered pages. It supports compressed PDF, MAC OS Roman charset encoding, hex and octal encoding in text sections, and is compliant with PSR-0 (autoloader) and PSR-1 (code styling). Currently, secured documents are not supported.
libquickmail is a library intended to give C/C++ developers a quick and easy way to send email from their applications. It supports multiple To/Cc/Bcc recipients and multiple MIME attachments without size limitation. It uses libcurl for SMTP communication, but a light version is also included without the libcurl dependancy. The library can also be used to just create a multipart MIME message body. It also comes with a command line application for sending mail (with optional attachments).

More than two dozen people jumped into balmy, 52-degree water Sunday at the University of Alabama's outdoor swimming pool Sunday afternoon — by choice.
More than two dozen people jumped into balmy, 52-degree water Sunday at the University of Alabama's outdoor swimming pool Sunday afternoon — by choice.
"It was invigorating and cold, but it was also a lot of fun," said Tuscaloosa resident David Scott. "It was a shock, but then you get acclimated."
The chilly swim was part of the 2nd annual Polar Plunge event, sponsored by University Recreation. As part of the event, UA students, faculty and members of the community were invited to take a quick dip in the cold water, said Shane Reeves, coordinator of aquatic programs at the University of Alabama University Recreation Center.
"We thought it would be a fun activity for anyone who wanted to come out and participate," Reeves said.
The event, which some took on as a challenge, was inspired by similar events in Russia and parts of Scandinavia, where people often take a plunge in icy waters to celebrate New Year's Day.
It's hard to gauge what the winter weather will be like in Alabama, but the local event's planners were hoping for cold weather, Reeves said.
"Weather in Alabama is so unpredictable," Reeves said.
On Sunday, it was sunny with a high of 62 degrees, hardly freezing weather.
"It's a nice, balmy temperature today," said John Meadows, a Tuscaloosa resident who has completed three other "polar plunge" events, all out of state. "The worst I've done before is 46 degrees."
To prepare for the cold dip, Meadows recommended that swimmers wear only the basics so that the water can be dried off quickly.
"You want to make the swim as short as humanly possible, and get used to the air temperature before you get in," Meadows said.
Still, after Sunday's polar plunge, some swimmers took a lap around the outdoor pool and several climbed the pool's tall staircase for a ride down the waterslide.
Eight-year-old Cooper Tolbert excitedly ran around the pool wet after he plunged into the cold water.
"It's awesome," said Tolbert, who participated in the event with his 10-year-old sister.
"I'm definitely going to do that again," he said.

Review Details
Aerostich Combat Touring Boots
- Product Review (submitted on October 24, 2011):
- love these boots. still breaking them in, but went on a week long trip with them when they were brand new. although shifting was a little stiff at first, its just been getting better and better. pretty good resistance to road spray in the rain with a little waterproofing goop slathered on before i left. my one complaint would be the laces used and the way the velcro is set up. the laces (and tall pair of wool socks) tend to get stuck in the velcro, and the laces that came with the boots are going to be little fur balls in short order. i anticipate having to get some new laces, hopefully will be able to find some that are not sticky to velcro. overall highly recommended though.

Since v2.04, bash has allowed you to intelligently program and extend its standard completion behavior to achieve complex command lines with just a few keystrokes. Imagine typing ssh [Tab] and being able to complete on hosts from your ~/.ssh/known_hosts files. Or typing man 3 str [Tab] and getting a list of all string handling functions in the UNIX manual. mount system: [Tab] would complete on all exported file-systems from the host called system, while make [Tab] would complete on all targets in Makefile. This project was conceived to produce programmable completion routines for the most common Linux/UNIX commands, reducing the amount of typing sysadmins and programmers need to do on a daily basis.
GNU Bash is an sh-compatible command language interpreter that executes commands read from the standard input or from a file. Bash also incorporates useful features from the Korn and C shells (ksh and csh). Bash is intended to be a conforming implementation of the IEEE POSIX Shell and Tools specification (IEEE Working Group 1003.2).
fli4l is a single-floppy Linux-based ISDN/DSL/ethernet-router. It features configuration with some simple ASCII-files, several possible connection-flavors (in/out/callback, and raw IP/PPP), channel bundling (an extra channel can be added through a Windows/Unix-client), configuration of multiple networks, least-cost routing, automatic choice of provider, display/calculation of connection times and costs, and a Windows/Unix client to control dial/hangup, monitor traffic and monitor incoming calls on ISDN (see screenshot).
execline is a very light, non-interactive scripting language, which is similar to a shell. Simple shell scripts can be easily rewritten in the execline language, improving performance and memory usage. execline was designed for use in embedded systems, but works on most Unix flavors.
Rodent filemanager is a fast, small, and powerful file manager. Its emphasis is on ease of use for the advanced user, not the computer illiterate. Rodent filemanager (a.k.a. xffm >= 4.6.0) is the next step in the evolution of Xffm, now with a threaded design optimized for multicore processors.
Zenity is a tool that allows you to display Gtk+ dialog boxes from the command line and through shell scripts. It is similar to gdialog, but is intended to be saner. It comes from the same family as dialog, Xdialog, and cdialog, but it surpasses those projects by having a cooler name.
Tcsh is an enhanced but completely compatible version of the Berkeley UNIX C shell. It is a command language interpreter usable both as an interactive login shell and a shell script command processor. It includes a command line editor, programmable word completion, command and file name completion, listing, spelling correction, a history mechanism, job control, and a bunch of small additions to the csh shell itself.
A high performance, scalable database modeled after Bigtable.

BCS Title Game: Ohio State vs. ???
Some people will point to what happened Saturday as exactly the reason why we need a CFB playoff. But I think such losses are a stronger argument to leave things alone.
Seriously, would any of us with a life have been watching WVU vs. 4-7 Pitt if there was a 16 team playoff? Hell no. The loss would have simply meant that instead of being a top 2 seed, the Mountaineers would be, oh, an 8 seed or so. Ho hum.
Instead, West Virginia's season came down to a 4th down call with under four minutes left. And I was glued to the set.
Same with the Oklahoma game. The entire college football loving world was also checking out that game to see if another BCS slot opened up.
Is it perfect? Hell no, as Michigan found out last year. But it sure as hell is exciting.
So who should face OSU in the title game? Personally, I'd love to see OSU play LSU and - believe it or not - I hope OSU kicks their ass. Bad. Real bad. For the Big 10...and for a couple other reasons many U-M fans can probably figure out.

Wow, another crazy week. 7 different teams have arguments as to why they should face OSU in the NC game. I count USC, LSU, GA, OK, KU, VT, and Hawaii have legit gripes. I also agree with you about how this weekend is evidence for why there should not be a playoff. I was on the edge of my seat for that Pitt-WV game and I'm a PSU student.
Funny that WV got props for killing UConn last week and proving they want and deserve the NC game, and then they come out tonight and play scared against the pornstache.

Are you bitter about Miles staying at LSU? OSU's worst nightmare is about to happen. Getting to play a well rested SEC Champion LSU team. As the Road Runner says, "Beep, Beep, Beep"

LSU had their shot at being #1 not once, but twice. While they've lost 2 of their last 7 games, Georgia has been on a tear. We closed our season by beating 5 bowl teams by double digits. This includes Florida and Auburn (2 teams LSU struggled with) and Kentucky (who LSU lost to).
BCS logic should dictate that if #1 and #2 lose, #3 and #4 move up. Buckeyes and Dawgs.

the perfect game would be O$U vs U$C.
SC is the hottest team in the land right now.
Some are saying UM might play Florida. That would be a fun game to watch as Michigan can use all the experience they can get against another spread offense.
I don't care who OSU plays, I hope they lose and lose badly. They can have the reputation in beating Michigan but let them also have the rep of getting embarrassed in bowl games.

in regards to Les.
Money is a factor but I believe Les realizes he's able to create his own legacy down in the Bayou without being over shadowed by Bo's legacy and hindered by Carr's culture.
I don't blame him.
Besides, Les gets the perks of unlimited mardi gras beads. Boobies will always win out!

As the only undefeated team in the country, I think Hawaii should have a shot. But since they don't come from one of the annointed conferences, they wont. Next up should be Kansas with one loss, but they didn't win their conference, so they wont. Next up should be Georgia...see above. Then it comes down to Oklahoma, LSU or USC. That's a tough call. I suspect they are going to punt.

You beat me to it. If we were going to allow Kansas a shot at #1 with their weak schedule, why not Hawaii? We could call it the BCS Weak Schedule Bowl. I can't deny the Bucks easy schedule this year.
Regarding LSU: If you think Tressel hasn't fixed whatever glitch happened last year vs. Florida you're the typical SEC Kool-aid lush. Bring it on. You all sound like Miami before the 2002 title game. Sweet redemption draweth nigh (well, I can act tough prior to the outcome, right?)
Last night, I didn't think LSU had a chance at the title game, but today's perusing suggests I'm in the minority. Oh well. Katie, you were right.

I mean, Hawaii did what they were supposed to do, which is win, right? As for there supposed weak schedule...yes and no. They still have probably the most brutal travel schedule of any of the Division IA schools (I can't force myself to call it FBS or whatever the hell they call it now....FBS, what is that anyway, sounds like something they'd sell using a mother and daughter sitting on a stump...Mom, why do I have this odor? Well daughter, you see.....Anyways...). Granted they play in a weak conference, but don't they play in the same conference as Boise State who ended up beating Oklahoma last year?
As such, I think they deserve a shot but they aren't even getting mentioned except in jest. Instead we have the East Germany judge with her dour look making the decision.

Unfortunately, a playoff will have many of the same problems. Instead of issues with 2,3, and 4...we'll have issues with 17, 18, 19, etc. Because I imagine they would still base it on the polls which means that mid-majors would get shut out of the process for the most part.
I'm beginning to think there is no good way to determine a champion out of a poll of over 100 teams.
- December 02, 2007 9:37 AM
- Jeremy Marx said...
The Big XII Championship Game would've still been extremely important even if there was a playoff in place. I assume they'd keep the rule that only 2 teams from a conference could make the playoff, so Oklahoma and Missouri would be playing for a spot, with Kansas likely in (even though Missouri deserves it over them).
Also, are we really not going to have a playoff so the WVU - Pitt game has added excitement? Wouldn't you be glued to your seat for the whole playoff?
That a team like LSU can have the #1 spot twice, be unable to hang on to it both times, and then get another shot at the National Championship goes against the main argument for the current system. The whole idea that every game matters so much without a playoff is lost when teams are still given chance after chance to prove they're the best.
- December 02, 2007 9:39 AM
- Jim said...
Sorry Yost, I don't buy that arguement. If it wasn't Mizzou/Ok and WV Pitt, it would have been ASU/Arizona or Texa/Texas AM last week to secure at-large spots. If anything, more games would come into play.
I guess it's all about what you're looking for in a system. If all you want is hand-wringing, controversy and conversation, then the flawed, inconsistent BCS is actually PERFECT.
I'd rather see the best teams settle it on the field. Instead of a couple of relevant/exciting games at the end of the regular season (in which we hope for upsets, but really seldom actually get them), we get seven games between truly great teams with win-or-go-home pressure. It's the Elite 8 with all the 1's and 2's surviving. It's probably pointless to even hope for, but it's the lost potential that makes me so cranky this time of year.

Since the FCS has a playoff (by the way, App St. is 2 games away from their THIRD straight national championship), and we're stuck with the BCS, I'd say that FBS stands for Fucking Bullshit... but that's just me :-)

At this point, aside from ALWAYS rooting for the Big Ten in bowls, I really don't care who plays in the NC... I'm just psyched that Michigan might forgo what was once called the "MicronPC.com Bowl" (as well as Blockbuster, Carquest, Mazda Tangerine, and now Champs Sports) to play in the Citrus Bowl... yes the CITRUS BOWL (fuck Capital One bank). GO BLUE!

Les Miles proved himself to be the punk I thought he was. Part of me would like to see an LSU - OSU matchup just so the sweater could bitchslap this idiot back to the Bayou, and those of us who were against his candidacy could say "I told you so". But when I'm being more objective I think the only fair match-up puts Hawaii (yes I said Hawaii!) in the championship.
When you look at a team that can gut-check & come back from a 21 point deficit to remain the only undefeated team, in a season full of no name schools upsetting the "power" schools, I don't see how any fair minded person can deny Hawaii their shot.
Go (to Annapolis and get Paul Johnson) Blue!

In regards to Les Miles,
Thank God Hes staying at LSU.
That is nothing more than a Christmas blessing.
In regards to the NC
I'd love to see LSU and USC battle it out. They are the most deserving teams in my opinion. They would also be the most intresting to watch. TOSU and LSU would be so boring, because TOSU would get wooped hard core. And that is not good for the Big Ten
Lastly, Did anyone watch ESPN last night when, Carroll, Miles, Stoops and that coach from Georgia all called in to lobby for their team to play in the NC. Tressel did not call in even though ESPN was begging him to . Maybe the sweater vest took a page from Lloyds book.

Furthermore... does tosu really want to lose another NC game? That will be 3 in the last year and a half and the rest of the country is getting tired of it. Let someone else play. I truly think that the BCS should really f everything up and have Hawaii play GA and have it be the most unwatched NC game ever. It probably wouldn't even sell out the stadium. Either way this is one of the worst seasons of college football in many years. Bring on a playoff!

Yeah lane, i hate to say it, but I'd love to have a badass head coach and a shot at the NC every year. I hope and prey and beg and plead on a WAY to obsessive basis about it, and take heart in knowing that all you crazies share my obsession (along with the people generating 2500 comments on mgoblog yesterday.) If nothing else, this is fun, I just really hope we don't screw it up.
As for who should be playing in the NC, that's tough. Georgia looks fucking awesome right now. Knowshon Moreno is a stud. For those of you who haven't seen this redshirt freshman run make a point to catch their bowl game- he reminds me of a man named Hart. FUSC is playing great and is probably a Booty broken finger away from being undefeated. LSU may be the best team, but they were already #1 twice and couldn't hold on- why should they get another shot? Hawaii came back from a 21 point deficit last night, contributed to my hangover, and is undefeated. After Boise last year and all the upsets this year, can you really hold them out? Not logically.
The only way to fix the system is a plus one. The regular season and bowls keep their importance, and you have great teams playing for a spot. Essentially a playoff hybrid.
I woke up to a text of "Go Buckeyes" this morning, then i threw up a little in my mouth. Guess I was hoping your return to the NC was just a bad dream. One horrible, jager-induced dream.

I think Roy said it best.....Chaos Rules. This year has been pure chaos in College football.
At this point, we can only hope that the Big Ten has a good showing in bowl games. Including tOSU. Do I want them to play for the NC? Not really. Do I think that it has to feel so good to start the season off thinking your year was going to be average at best and then you end up in the NC? You bet. Congrats to the Bucks for having a great season! Now WIN the NC and do the Big Ten proud!

who are you to tell people who they can and cannot cheer for? As an OSU fan i cheer for UM every week of the year (except for 1), so that if/when OSU beats UM, that win is significant. SEC homers (like yourself) have touted their conference's supposed "strength" all year, but B10 fans can't cheer for their conference to refute the SEC's claims?
Just another one of the SEC double standards, i guess.

1) I despise double stds. If we are not going to match the 12-0 team w/ the 11-1 team, how can exclude one for its lack of schedule strength w/ out considering excluding them both? Once you question UH for its weak schedule, shouldn't you do the same to tosu? I'm not saying USC/LSU/OU et al should play instead of tosu, but how do you toss one & not the other? BSU's Fiesta appearance says we shouldn't.
2) Distinctly recall Gary Danielson stating that a team that can't win its conference can't play in the BCS this same time last year. How do you justify UGa under the same criteria?? Again, double stds.
3) To the extent the mnc is important? This system is a failure. Miko is correct that you'd have debate somewhere around 15- 20, but no one would doubt the final #1 (just like b-ball). Millions of dollars, pretige, and bragging rights being decided on a whim on the last Saturday nite/Sunday morning of the season now. Play all year, end w/ the same record as 5 other teams, & it all comes down to political deals and conference alliances.
Yes, last nite made for good TV, but lousy bowls in the long run.

The whole Georgia thing just makes me laugh. How many times did we hear "you've got to win your conference to play for the national championship" last year. I guarantee that the Georgia coach voted Florida #2 last year because "they won their conference." I guess we will find out how self-serving the SEC can be.

Yeah T-9, the Adrian Peterson thing looks horrible. The guy is the second coming of Walter Payton. I think if he'd been healthy at OK he would've gone first though, so we wouldn't have had a shot at him anyway.

I'm just happy you guys get to go to a decent bowl game now. It feels weird that we're gonna be going to a better one than you considering you beat us.
I don't want LSU in it because two-choke jobs like UK and Arkansas should have kept them from even cracking the top 10 in my mind. But if it's gonna be LSU, god I want the sweater-vest to destroy them.

"What if..." A CRAZY SCENARIO
Ok, this is far fetched, but I write thriller's and it tends to be impossible to turn off my writers imagination.
My brother was watching or listening to the Miles presser after the game last night and Les said he hadn't talked to anyone at U of M. That he hadn't been contacted so there was no offer. He has never specifically said "I would not accept an offer from Michigan", and he also said that they've agreed in principal on a new contract but nothing has been finalized.
Let's say BM contacts Miles before Dec. 6th, an offer is made and he accepts. After all, his best friend has said publicly all we have to do is offer and Les will "come home".
Todays AP poll has LSU at #2, so if the BCS is the same, we could have a NC game with Miles coaching LSU and on his way to Michigan next fall.
This is about as likely as Giselle leaving Tom Brady for me, and actually probably more so (I am rather charming, after all) but what if?
I'm starting to think we should just hold a coaching search every year, this is way too much fun.
And yes, (assuming he's not coming) I'd love to see the Sweatervest destroy them.
- December 02, 2007 3:44 PM
- Mikoyan said...
I'm a fan of either a playoff or a return to the old ways of crowning a National Champion. The old way was convoluted but they didn't pretend it was anything else. The fact that an undefeated team isn't even being considered shows what a sham the system is.
What's funny, all the bobbleheads last year were saying that Michigan had its chance and blew it. LSU blew its chances twice. So how do they justify that?
As I said, I don't think there is a fair way to determine a champion of a league of over 100 teams. If they went on strictly conference champions, you'd have the arguments that the MAC is not the Big 10 and should therefore not be as well represented in the championship. So I don't know.
As for the coach...Bring us Paul Johnson. Although the fact that he brought Navy back to respectibility means that he should stay there....
Go Blue...

the BCS is freaking flawed.
it's damned near impossible to pick the "best" team since the metrics are sooo skewed from the git-go. Strength of schedule??? Number of wins??? Pre-season seeding in the polls??? Points scored for and against???
But every year, we have the same darned conversations and consternations over the freakin' BCS.

Yawn. The SEC political machine grinds out another victory.
We should all just wait until the end of the season and let whoever is ranked #1 in the AP poll play the SEC conference champion. The coaches poll is a joke (see 1997).
Seriously, how can you put a 2 loss team in the BCS Championship when there is an undefeated team out there ?
I really feel bad for Hawaii. They are getting screwed by a bad system.
For the record, I am 100% behind the buckeyes this year. For the Big 10 and poking Les Miles in the eye.

Just to be devil's advocate, do you think Miles was getting pissed/flustrated at what a distraction the Michigan thing was getting to be? What did Miles do to deserve people getting up his ass with a microscope just because Carr announced his requirement? I actually felt for LSU because of the press corps circling like sharks.
If I was Miles, I would have told the press that I had no comment regarding the Michigan job until the SEC season was over. Instead, he initially was wishy washy with the press and that only fanned the flames of rumor and speculation.

My point exactly 93.

The BS sucks. We need a playoff system. It wont harm the regular season games at all. LSU will kill OSU.

Well Katie... we didn't want Miles anyway. Forgetting what down it is, sketchy play calling, and unpredictable behavior. Miles is not what Michigan needs right now.
Funny, LSU nation was calling for Miles' head this season and all it took was a controversy to make them change their tune.
Someone recently said that until Carr truly leaves (no AD role) and Bo's office is cleaned out, Michigan is doomed to end up like Bama, FSU, and State Penn.

True 93, I was on the fence about him all along, I DID like the Georgia Tech guy Rumor and honestly, after the Ferentz scare, I was leaning towards Miles simply because it would be better than Ferentz, nevertheless the entire situation reeks of something almost sinister to me.
Don't you think that the Boosters and Alum have a little more pull now? I hope you are wrong....but I fear you may be right.

I think the boosters and alum are going to have to pony up some cash to get the new guy here.
I hope eventually it's someone like Chris Peterson or Pat Hill.
I despise Cowherd but I believe he's right in saying Carr did less with more.
USC sucked before Pete Carroll. He came in and revolutionized that program. Michigan needs the same!!!
I'm embarrassed for college football that Sparty got a bowl bid!

Yeah, I don't get that. The guy lobbied for our job for years, never denied his interest, then wonders why the circus comes to town and acts all holier than thou? Whatever.
What I did like about the man is his experience in different conferences. I'd really like to see us hire someone who'll take advantage of our talent on offense and run a more aggressive defensive style. The Tenuta thing had me peeing my pants with excitement.

I think just what you said about Bo's office, Carr and Martin......it makes it difficult to attract someone who might feel they are going to be run by the old faction. We need to be able to offer some autonomy for the next coach. We want him to value the tradition, but not necessarily be hindered by it either.

Go Blue!
You guys go and embarrass Florida and heisman-boy Tebow, and we'll slam Les Miles in his fat face.
Go Bucks!

mgoblue.com now looks like is full of advertisements and flash
I'm an old-school girl who prefers and old-school website.
for comparison's sake check out
www.ufl.edu/athletics/ (old-school)
looks like Michigan and USC might have the same web-site designer???
it's about image and the new mgoblue.com site to me appears commercial and slicked up.

Sweet... On ESPN June Jones just called Tebow a "system quaterback", and "not a pure paser", and Tim Tebow "couldn't play QB at Hawaii".
Rolling on the floor squealing with laughter and delight!

I just heard that Ron English interviewed with Arkansas and UM is looking to give him a second interview. Anyone have any infoon this? I don't think he is the man for the job, but I will take him over Debord any day.

mgo93: Not sure why you're laughing...At June Jones for his comments, or with Jones, agreeing with what he said?

agreeing with what he said
- December 02, 2007 11:17 PM

OK, thanks. Can't say I agree with you on that point.
I'm also curious about something else. Earlier in the season, I got the impression that you were as big a proponent of Les Miles as anyone who regularly visits the MZone. After the Florida-LSU game, I even wrote an apology to you in particular, saying I wouldn't criticize Miles (at least on this blog) any more this season.
I'm curious what changed your mind - was it "forgetting what down it is, sketchy play calling, and unpredictable behavior," as you stated above, or was it the events of yesterday?
I guess I'm posing this same question to many of you who backed Miles earlier: was Les the beautiful girl you're excited about dating until you get to know her better and realize that there's nothing under the hood and there's no future there?
Was Les an attractive girl with a beautiful mind with whom you were completely smitten - until she dumped you - causing you to renounce all her prior virtues as a means of coping with the loss?
Please don't read anything snarky into this. I'm genuinely trying to gauge the Michigan mindset right now.

You know where I've stood on Miles since the beginning, BiB. Never was on that bandwagon. More this week.

Yes, several months ago I was on the Miles bandwagon. You are right on in identifying my change in opinion.
I started watching Miles with a more critical eye and started seeing things which gave me concern. During the Arkansas game, the sideline mics caught Miles screaming at the refs "I'm the head football coach"... WTF?!?! Does the ref really care. And that is how Miles handles conflict, by whipping out his title repeatedly?
And throwing the fade on a 4th and 1, gutsy yes, but Michigan doesn't need a gunslinger coach right now. Michigan needs a creative coach that will continue to develop the great talent they already recruit. Michigan needs a staff that won't run to the left, run to the left, TE screen, and punt.
BiB... take this for what it is worth, but in my case, I can honestly say that I thought Miles was the beautiful girl, that when I finally got a date with her, I thought she was all looks and not much of anything else. And since I'm not 18 anymore, looks only makes up a portion of the total package.
However, what you will not see me doing is badmouthing Miles. Some of my fello Ann Arbor expats may do so but not me. There is nothing out there which doesn't make me think Miles is a Michigan man through and through and as a fellow Michigan man, I respect that! I think Miles' testy relationship with Lloyd is what ultimately doomed his chances at being the head ball coach.
I'm a little disappointed at the characterization that Miles settled for green and not blue. I don't think it was a money thing. I think it was a "how can I autonomously be the head ball coach with an enemy (Carr) hovering over me (as an assistant AD)?"

I hope Hawaii blows the hell out of Georgia and then hopefully no matter what happens in the BS NC game that Hawaii is number 1 in the AP poll so there can be a split NC again. Which is what the BS was designed to make never happen. I won't be watching a minute of the NC game because I abhor tosu and could care less about Les Miles and LSU. Either way I hope one of them is embarrassed and it's not a "good game."
btw I am a huge MI fan and live in the heart of Buckeye country. There's no rooting for them because they are the Big Ten. I hate them and hope they get killed.

When CP acquired the Dakota Minnesota & Eastern railroad in 2007, it also acquired the option to build a 260-mile extension of its network into coal mines in the PRB. Components of the charge include the option, engineering design costs, land and capitalized interest.
It is CP's intention to defer indefinitely plans to extend its rail network into the PRB coal mines based on continued deterioration in the market for domestic thermal coal, including a sharp deterioration in 2012.
