Sunday Sound Out
Some fabulous bloggers and I are participating in Do Good Day with 77 Kids by American Eagle on the 14th. We're all bringing our kids and going to a local Ronald McDonald house to cook lunch for the families staying there. On the way home, the kids and I are going to be making stops here and there to pass out $77 dollars and do random acts of kindness for people. I encourage all of you to get involved on the 14th too! Blog about the cool, pay-it-forward things you and your kids do and let me know so I can link to it here!
And now, answers to this week's burning questions.
You don't have to have a camper to go camping! Don't you have tents and sleeping bags??
Yeah, I'm gonna go out and buy a tent and sleeping bags. NOT! I didn't even like camping in an air-conditioned camper with a bathtub, a microwave, and actual beds.
What's lower than dork? You now, just so I know how far I have to fall.
I asked Savannah, "What's lower than a dork?" She said, "Austin." Ahhh, sibling love.
My daughter bought those kind of shoes too and I tried them on but felt like I was going to tip over.LOL. Do yours feel like that too ?
Only when I've had a couple cocktails before my walk.
Umm, you did read that you should only wear them [Shape-Up shoes] a couple of hours a day until you get used to them right? You will be SORE if you dont.
I don't read instructions. That's cheating.
We the People would like before and after shots of your derriere. :) Actually I just wanted to see how brave you are....brave enough to post pics of your butt?!?! LOL!
Heck no! But it has nothing to do with bravery. I just don't want to lose my entire readership in one fell swoop.
Just an FYI. Not sure if the same is true with the Sketchers but my sister-in-law had the Reeboks similar to these and she now has to have foot surgery! Apparently this is a big problem for a lot of people who wear shoes like these. You may want to check into it a little before getting a lot of use out of them and then needing surgery!
Really? Cool! That would be awesome! I imagine I'd get out of running errands and cooking and cleaning for a while.
You got demoted to dork because of the shoes?
That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
The dad of 6 kids lives in the southeastern part of the USA. You are thinking of moving to North Carolina? Coincidence? Maybe?!?!
Actually, where I'm considering moving is about 4 hours farther away. Not that I've looked into it or anything.
ok Dawn I already commented but then I went over to Spuds blog and do you know that that man loves to go camping and anything outdoorsy?!?
Yeah well, no one's perfect.
Oh no, no, no, you're not going to hide the GINORMOUS piece of information about your having dinner with Spuds in a blog post about past mistakes. Oh no. Details! We need details! When? Where?
For some of us, this is like a daily soap opera. We must keep up with the latest in Dawn's world! And if you are a part of it, well congrats but we must get to know you too.
Sigh. Okay, I guess I can't avoid this or I'll have an uprising on my blog. Spuds and I have been talking daily for a month or so. Here are a dozen things I know...
1. He's not the person you see in a lot of his blog posts.
2. He loves being a dad. I mean, he really loves it! When his kids are gone (like they were for the past couple weeks), he feels like part of him is missing. I can relate. When they got home last night, he didn't even have to tell me. I could hear the happiness. He was once again complete.
3. He's seen more than most of us ever will. He's been shot, stabbed, and blown up. More than once. But the scars you don't see are the worst and although it's nice talking to someone who has the same scars you do, it's sad at the same time.
4. He swears too much.
5. He does crazy things like make homemade donuts for his kids when there are perfectly good donut stores around.
6. He's read the Bible. The whole Bible. Multiple times. But unlike most of us, he doesn't just go with the flow and do what everyone else does and believe what everyone else does just because that's what he's been told to do. He searches for answers. And to those of you who find it necessary to email him about his heathenness, I just have to laugh. You have no clue. And the fact that you judge without knowing anything makes you the heathens in my book.
7. He has an amazing group of close friends who love and respect him, chah!
8. He's got a chest circumference that's bigger than mine. Not sure about the butt.
9. He has motorcycles! And a whole zoo worth of animals that this city girl can't fathom.
10. He has a whole triage thing with his kids. Imaginary owies or small scratches only get wet toilet paper and not bandaids. I know! Maybe I should send them some bandaids.
11. He's not entirely uncute. ;)
12. And finally, we may, possibly, be meeting in person soon...

YOU, miss Lady, are a total Rockin' Momma! I'm new to reading this whole bloggy stuff. But I'm not knew to Spuds. I've been running with him for the past 10 years. People who don't know him always think he comes across as a jerk, he is. Chah!! Not really! He's the Dude you want to have standing beside you when the **it hits the fan. He may not be your typical churchy dude, but I know he prays, I've seen it. And best of all, he just keeps talking about some amazing momma up in Chicago.
And Hi all you Single Ladies!!! I'm Rico, original FOS (Friend of Spuds) CHAH!!!

I imagine I'd get out of running errands and cooking and cleaning for a while.
HA! You wish! My husbeast was deployed whe I went through knee surgery (they removed some dead bone) and I was ordered to spend 2 weeks in bed, 6 weeks in a wheelchair. Care to guess who had to go grocery shopping the very next day since the locusts declared there was nothing to eat in the house? Or who had to spend those 6 weeks taking the kids back and forth to scout meetings, church functions, choir practice and all the other things that just could not be missed? It wasn't the tooth fairy!
No matter how wounded we may be, we're the ones who still have to function every single day. We don't even got the bragging rights of a Purple Heart to show for it! I feel gypped.

LOL at the comments! You go girl!

I'm glad you are finding a little piece of happiness during this turbulant time in your life. Can't wait to hear about your meet up with Spuds.
- July 11, 2010 at 10:03 PM
All I can say is...snag him while you can honey! It would be the BEST decision you've ever made. I "see" through the talk and gruffness and he is very much like my husband. We just celebrated 19 years and we are still going strong like newlyweds! They're the best kind to have your back, to stand by your side and to pick you up when you're down! All of the comments about a guy not helping out...it's a lie. This guy (the Spuds type of guy, my hubby type of guy) is there when you need them, helping in all areas and realizing it takes two to make things work well! No job is "a woman's" or "a man's"! Best of luck on things working out between you two because if they do, crappy decisions of the past will be entirely made up for! :o)
- July 11, 2010 at 10:28 PM
I'm sure it feels a bit frenzied with all the questions involving you and Spuds but I know for myself it's just nice to know you've found someone to relate to/with after this last year of yours. Heck probably more like the last 10+ years of yours. It's just really nice to know and see the friendship forming, I thank you for inviting us into that even if some may be coming on too strong about it. I do have a SSO one about this- When and how did you come across him?
I'll also take dibs on Rico cos I like my meat some kinda brown lol!
You never cease to make me laugh during your posts. And I so think you should send bandaids before he gets better ideas like duck tape and superglue.

(does the excited snoopy dance) Hehehee... I am SO SO SO happy for you, gal! :D There is more I want to say, but I'm dealing with something atm tonight, soooo that can wait.
At any rate, I know a good thing when I read it and I wish you the best! <3 (hugs)

I smiled when I read your dozen things about Spuds - mostly because I pictured you smiling as you wrote them. :) Wishing you many, many more smiles.
- July 11, 2010 at 11:44 PM
Hmmm. . .a dozen donuts; a dozen kids. Coincidence???? ;o)
Donna in PA :)
(P.S. -- It's so nice to hear the smile in your posts again! xoxo)

Ok forget about the whole rest of the SSO - the part about Spuds was THE BEST! Since you mentioned his blog I've been following it and he sounds like a sincerely funny & genuine person. Whether things work out romantically or you just become good friends who understand where the other is coming from...it's all good.
- July 12, 2010 at 8:24 AM
*grinning ear to ear* Meeting in person, huh? ;)

- Spuds said...
Ah Geez! Thanks Dawn! You're awesome! I don't know.. I can be pretty "heathen-ish" sometimes. I do swear too much, but not as much. My 8 yo daughter follows me around collecting "bad word dollars" from me. Seriously, she bought a new DS with her money. But I'm doing better. Now I have a pretty little lady reminding me to speak more softly because I have ears (and eyes) around me. I do make homemade doughnuts and all of you are invited over for doughnuts! (just not all at the same time).
I do read the Bible. But it's mostly been so that I can find a loophole and sneak in to heaven through the laundry room door... kidding. I havnen't planted my eschatological flag yet. But I'm searching.
I do have amazing friends. Rico really isn't retarded. He just writes the way he talks. (Chah) And Jenn, he's a 6' 5" tall blond headed surfer boy from San Diego. There aint no brown meat on him. But he's a hoot! Keeps all of us laughing when he does his "virility dance" at bars.
Chest circumference... I am not supposed to admit to pondering Dawns comment on that one. I am a gentleman and all... :)
Triage is important. Bandaids are for bleeding wounds onlly. I'm tough like that.
And I'm not good looking. I guess I'm roguishly and ruggedly endowed. (That means ugly but with a big ego and attitude.)
And, yes, I get the honor of taking Miss Dawn to dinner at that famous little eatery in Chicago on August... I better not say. Judging by the comments I think we would have an entire crowd of Dawn's fans show up to serve as chaperones. I promise to be a gentleman! And yes, I have been doing a lot of grinning myself, lately!

You and Spuds!!!!! I am lovin' this blog more and more. :)

Love the follow-up comment from Spuds. People should never judge a book by it's cover. For people who choose that route, it's their loss and they miss out on getting to know how someone really is.
Dawn - it's great to hear you have someone you can relate to. If nothing ever comes of it, at least you have a made a great friend. Like us other nosy readers, I look forward to seeing the dinner post next month. You know you can't keep that a secret!
- July 12, 2010 at 10:45 AM
- Knitty said...
Would it be tacky or completely inappropriate to ask if Spuds is divorced or widowed? While it doesn't make any difference, I still find myself curious. I guess how things are worded in his profile have me curious.
No matter what happens tomorrow, it is good to hear (okay, read) a lilt in your voice today!
- July 12, 2010 at 11:09 AM
- Dawn said...
Bloggers don't talk about the things they wish to keep private for a reason.
For example, my divorce has been pretty horrible. If I wrote about everything that Joe's been doing, you guys probably wouldn't believe me. Some of you would get physically ill. And, on the off-chance my kids read my blog, I do not want them knowing those details at all!
- July 12, 2010 at 11:46 AM
awww Dawn Im really happy for you. I think you are an amazing women and I think spuds is a pretty cool guy just from reading his posts and such. I dont think he is a heathen I think he is a tough guy with a big heart, just like my hubby. Reading his comment here actually brought tears to my eyes. Huge hugs to you Dawn.

- Marjorie said...
As a student of world religions I get it. I figure that on the off chance that one religion is right I've got my foot in every door. I'm GETTING into heaven. haha! I'm just kidding, but I do really get studying religion to find your own truth. Let people call me a heathen. People can say what they want it doesn't make it true.
Spuds seems like a great guy, and you are an awesome woman. Friendship or more than that is up for the two of you to decide, but either way you both rock!
- July 12, 2010 at 2:30 PM
Hi Dawn
I don't read blogs generally, but have been completely addicted to yours ever since someone posted a link to your eBay auction on the eBay UK message boards (and now, thanks to your recommendation am also addicted to Spuds blog).
I've never felt the need to comment before because I didn't think I had anything to add, but this time I felt I had to echo some of the other comments about how, in the last few weeks your posts seemed to be laughing again.
You and Spud seem to have very similar outlooks on life and definitely an almost identical sense of humour and regardless of anything else, at the very least, in the words of Humphrey Bogart: I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship.
Thank you for having the talent, humour and commitment to maintain this blog and letting us share some of your life. Good luck for the future, and remember that everything happens for a reason.
Here's looking at you kid ;-)

Shaddup Que! ;)
- July 12, 2010 at 4:15 PM
- Spuds said...
See! Are you sure you want Que (Toma) as your sidekick? Sure he cries a lot like you do, but he's just kind of... you see!
- July 12, 2010 at 4:33 PM
- Que said...
@Dawn - Spuds might be feeling a little threatened right now. So he's lashing out. As his former sidekick, I was always asked to get him a PB (no J) sandwich, his favorite teddy bear and a large glass of bourbon (sweet tea). After 30 minutes of that he starts thinking right again.
- July 12, 2010 at 4:46 PM
- Dawn said...
You're just mad cuz Que's my sidekick now.
- July 12, 2010 at 5:06 PM
- Spuds said...
That's fine! You go ahead and sidekick for Dawn. What if she makes nasty spaghetti? Then What?
- July 12, 2010 at 5:18 PM
- Dawn said...
Hmmm, maybe you should keep Que & he could hit you when you say stupid things like I'm a bad cook.
- July 12, 2010 at 5:21 PM
- Que said...
I told ya he was lashing out. PB Sandwich, teddy bear and sweet tea... I mean... Bourbon. Set a 30 min. timer and all will be well.
- July 12, 2010 at 5:26 PM
- Spuds said...
See! What I MEANT to say was.. go ahead and sidekick for Dawn because I'm sure she makes AWESOME spaghetti! That's what I meant to write.... you're so pretty, Dawn... I'm just going to be quiet and go over there and write my blogs. Yup, that's what I'm going to do. ....

lol Crap the back and forth in the comments is cracking me up in itself. You guys are too disgustingly cute. And thanks for the heads up on surfer guy Spuds..dang me and thinking Rico was a dead giveaway!
You guys should do some QnA on here :)
- July 12, 2010 at 8:48 PM
P.S. I had to come back cos I had a different comment I wanted to leave but got sidetracked reading all this! I was driving home and since it's kinda, barely nice in FL tonite I had my front windows down and my sunroof open..all the sudden I see flapping wings in the rearview and thought hmm that bird was close.. then realized I had a MothBat IN MY CAR which of course flew at me as it hit me that it was IN MY CAR and I just lost it. I seriously could have crashed cos of course right then it came at me on it's mission to eat my face off (or touch me) until the fate of the wind sucked it out of the sunroof. Just kjfdkjs and whew. Paybacks for laughing at your ordeal!

LMPERFORMANCE also wants you to be confident in your choice of materials for your body part and to that end will impart some information that may be of assistance. First and foremost there is the material itself, carbon fiber is an exceptionally strong material yet uncommonly lightweight that is five times stronger than steel, twice as stiff and about two-thirds lighter. Because it is composed of tiny strands of carbon that is twisted then woven together it can be laid over a mold and coated with stiff resin and in that way can be intricately shaped for a perfect fit.

Your Carbon Creations body kit will not be a one size fits all but will have been designed with your specific model vehicle in mind so that you are certain to achieve the best possible performance along with an impressive aerodynamic style.
The Carbon Creation line of body kits and aerodynamic products on the LMPERFORMANCE web site is extensive and is available for makes ranging from Acura to Volkswagen and almost everything in between and most of these can be purchased as full body kits or as pieces, such as, trunks, hoods, fenders, spoilers, diffusers, and bumper covers, just to name a few.

You are an inspiration. Said by a 66 year old great-grandmother, in the process of letting go, along with the 69 year old great-grandfather in our family, of the reins in our family.

Congratulations! Couldn't believe you got 2nd for Best Humor. I mean who is funnier then Dawn, who is with me on that one? Then I surfed over to Cake Wrecks and saw she won first for Best Humor, and, well, now I see. Not saying she is funnier then you, but if anyone other then you had to win at least it was her. So, have I dug myself into a deep enough hole? Congrats! And enjoy Disney World. Man, I can barely pack for 4 (and that does not include Hubby, he is on his own poor guy.)

I'm so glad you won best parenting blog! You deserve it. And look at you in the other 3 categories. I do have you to thank for making me a Cake Wrecks follower.
Have fun in Disney (is that for real, or did a whole bunch of people not recognize the sarcasm?)

THANX DAWN!! You were just a tad too funny when you wrote about "thanking the academy"..That did it for me..my carefully concocted Black Russian went from mouth ...thru NOSE..onto table!It actually took me a few minutes to stop laughing gleefully.
SO..I see you visited the famous Chinese Theatre..and even the Hollywood Sign. But where are the photos of YOU...standing atop the letter "H"..while your pals were down below yelling "JUMP JUMP"..
Oh Wait..That would have been ME!(and a few of my former college buddies!!.."Bless "Em")

Hi Dawn, you said that the new blog layout WAS your fridge, so now I'm intrigued... just how many refrigerators does your family go through? I thought the side-by-side fridge in your "Clay Steals a Cookie" video was your new one? Or did the web designer just rearrange it to be more functional as a web page? With everything else I have on my mind you'd think I wouldn't have time to worry about what kind of fridge you have, but apparently not! Been wondering since the SSO, lol!

Congratulations, Dawn! These are well deserved honors, so enjoy them! Of course we love you, we really, really do!!!!

Real-time operational intelligence company Splunk has announced its latest version of Splunk App for VMware as it seeks to help provide "accelerated operational visibility" into virtualized application environments.
This tool can be used for proactive application monitoring. Developers may be interested in its "operational analytics" abilities that will correlate VMware data with all other technology tiers beyond virtualization, including applications, operating systems, and elements of hardware infrastructure such as servers, storage, and network devices.
"More than 25 out-of-the-box reports shine a light on the entire virtual infrastructure and enable [users] to quickly resolve issues and get deeper analytics about the health, security, and capacity of their [application] environments," said Leena Joshi, senior director of solutions marketing, Splunk.
This is essentially a tool to provide a centralized view of key performance indicators across the entire datacenter, not just the virtualization layer. This "insight" (or information, if you prefer) potentially helps software application development teams with resource planning — it also aids change tracking, helps control costs, and eliminate vulnerabilities.
"As virtualization evolves to support mission-critical applications and workloads, so does the need for improved infrastructure monitoring and analytics," said Bernd Harzog, analyst, The Virtualization Practice.
The latest version of the app comes with auto-load-balanced configuration. It also bids to provide real-time granular visibility into VMware environments across hosts, virtual machines, and virtual centers based on predefined thresholds and pre-packaged log analyses.

|Mayor Bill Jenks, III
If there is anything in downtown Rolla that needs a second look, you can be sure there are plenty of merchants, business owners and shoppers on Pine Street in downtown Rolla that care a lot about looking twice in both directions, using proper traffic signals and following the traffic lane laws.
I'm particularly concerned about the reoccurring problem of motorists – intentionally or not –making left turns on one-way streets out of the right lane and making right turns out of the left lane on one-way streets. I am seeing this more and more and just last week there was an accident in front of our office when someone wanted to turn into the Bank of America parking lot was northbound on Pine in the right hand lane, turned left and hit a car also Northbound in the left lane in the passenger door. It is very important to be in whatever lane you are ultimately planning on turning in. Sometimes I wonder how people get their driver's license, but I am noticing this more and more.
Whenever the traffic is light in the downtown area, there is a temptation and tendency to want to ignore the rules of the road that indicate proper stripping, signage and lane usage. But please don't ignore these rules, as they exist for your safety and the safety of the motoring public.
And while we are on the subject of motor vehicle safety, I'd like to also bring up the importance of pedestrian safety; particularly the need to stop at designated crosswalks. Since Rolla is a university town where thousands of students are going to and from classes all day long, it is imperative to stop whenever you see a pedestrian at a crosswalk. Wait for them to safely cross the street, and then proceed in the direction you were headed in. It will only take a few more seconds, but it could mean avoiding an injury, and even worse.
Many drivers are also preoccupied with talking on their cell phones, texting, listening to their I-Pods, and even eating and drinking while driving. It only takes a split second to get distracted, become disoriented, or make the wrong adjustment before you have an unfortunate accident, or worse yet, hit another pedestrian.
In closing I'd like to thank everyone who participated in the Healthy Heart Zumba Party last night, Friday, Feb. 22 at Eugene Northern Community Hall. This is a great fundraiser for the Heart to Heart Committee, which is a branch of the Foundation at Phelps County Regional Medical Center (P.C.R.M.C.), and I'd like to especially thank The Centre staff and P.C.R.M.C. for co-hosting this heart healthy event. Thanks to everyone who participated in this event, the Heart to Heart Committee has been able to gift countless men and women in our community screenings that they would otherwise not be able to afford.
The Centre will host yet another community-wide event next Saturday on March 2 during the Youth Chess Tournament at The Centre (1200 N. Holloway St.). Players of all levels are invited to participate in this fun day of chess. Players should bring their own chess set if they have one. If not, the Parks and Recreation Dept. will provide one. Staunton chess sets only please.
The entry fee is $5 for Centre members and $10 for non-members. There will be three age divisions: 1st-4th Grades; 5th-7th Grade and 8th Grade & up. The top three place winners in each of three age groups will receive awards. Pre-registration is encouraged, but on-site registration will be available from 8 a.m. to 8:30 a.m. the day of the tournament. The tournament will start promptly at 9 a.m. For more information, or to register over the phone, please call the Rolla Parks and Recreation Department/The Centre at 573-341-2386.
Have a nice weekend and a safe week!

During the 19th and 20th centuries the parish priest was a dominant personality and the enforcer of morality in the parishes, villages and towns of Ireland. The list below gives the names of all those who have served as the priest in the parish of Paulstown. The parish of Paulstown and Goresbridge was created circa 1822 with an entry in the Graiguenamanagh parish registers stating that "1822 – About this time Goresbridge was taken from this parish and with Paulstown, made a separate parish.[1] Today, according to the website of the diocese of Kildare and Leighlin, the parish is called Paulstown.[2]
The list of priests from Michael Brennan (1833-1851) to the current priest, Fr. Laurence Malone, is to be found in chapter fourteen of Paulstown Schools Past and Present.[3] To supplement this list, I have added examples from other sources where their names were also found. I have also found some examples of priests who served in Paulstown from before the time of Michael Brennan.

B101's Weekday Tweets - Tuesday
The comments section of this site is going to have to find another bubble team to complain about. Virginia Tech's not only off the bubble, they're a single digit seed. The Hokies dominated in the second half against Wake Forest on Tuesday night, scoring 55 points en route to an 87-83 upset of the previously red-hot and newly-ranked Demon Deacons. Malcolm Delaney scored 31 points for Virginia Tech in the win, which moved them into second place in the ACC at 8-3. Al-Farouq Aminu scored 21 first half points for Wake, which led 40-32 at the break, but he scored just four points in the second half. The win is obviously gigantic for Virginia Tech's tourney resume, as it now gives them a second Top 50 win and puts them in great shape to finish 11-5 in conference. Even with a loss at Duke this weekend, the Hokies will be at least an 8 seed next week, and they will likely be ahead of Clemson and Georgia Tech in terms of seeding. (Remember two and a half weeks ago when we said this was going to happen...?)
Dear Jerry Palm, it's time to put the Hokies in your field. Love, B101.
If Mississippi State fails to make the tournament, they will look back at tonight's loss to Kentucky and kick themselves. The Bulldogs had a chance to extend their winning streak over the Wildcats to four games in front of a record home crowd, but instead squandered a seven point lead with three minutes to play and ended up losing 81-75 in OT. The loss drops the Bulldogs to an unimpressive 6-5 in conference, but they do have a relatively easy schedule remaining (at LSU, Alabama, at South Carolina, at Auburn, Tennessee). If they get to 10-6, with a win over the Vols, they will still be in good shape for a bid as long as they win a game in the SEC tourney. Anything less than that would be dangerous, since all they have OOC is a win over Old Dominion to go along with a few questionable losses. Assuming they beat LSU, they will be one of our last teams in or out this weekend, and their ultimate fate will depend on what their fellow bubble teams do.
We know it's the work of just a few idiots, but between the dozens of harassing (and allegedly racist) voicemails and texts sent to DeMarcus Cousins in the days leading up to the game and the water bottle throwing to end the game (you stay classy, Starkville), it's safe to say that Bulldog Nation could brush up a little on its sportsmanship before its next home game.
BTW, how great was Cousins' "call me" sign to the crowd after one of his dunks in the first half? A very nice comeback, indeed.
The biggest bubble battle of the night took place in the Big East, and it was South Florida who came out with a huge 65-57 win over Cincinnati at home. Dominique Jones (who else?) scored 26 points to lead the Bulls, who for the moment are now the front-runners for the Big East's eighth bid. They still have a lot of work to do to secure an at-large, but their schedule isn't all that tough the rest of the way (save a road game at Villanova next week.) The Bulls play St. John's at home on Saturday, and after the 'Nova game, they play Providence at home, at DePaul, and at home against UConn. That game against the Huskies on March 6 might be a bubble-bursting game for the loser, while the winner would likely head into the Big East tournament needing just two wins to feel good about their chances at an at-large. Cincinnati, meanwhile, is now tied with USF in conference at 6-7, but their remaining schedule is brutal, and they'll be lucky to finish 8-10.
Of note: Michigan State won at Indiana; Baylor beat Texas Tech at home (LaceDarius Dunn scored 30 points for the Bears); Georgia Tech beat North Carolina at home; Northern Iowa beat Creighton at home; Old Dominion beat Towson at home; Northeastern won at UNC-Wilmington; William & Mary won at George Mason; San Diego State won at TCU; Murray State beat SE Missouri State at home; Stony Brook won at UMBC; Princeton won at Penn.

Classless finish by two members of the Mississippi State crowd. I don't like this water bottle throwing trend at all; somebody is going to eventually get hurt.
- Bracketology 101 said...
With a few minutes left to go in the game we were preparing a paragraph on how great the crowd was with the alternating red and white shirt sections and how their rush was worth the fine. Now all there is to talk about is the bottle throwing.
With William and Mary beating Mason on the road, is there any hope of them getting an at-large if they win out (which is fairly likely)? That would give them 11 true road wins, MD and Wake included.
- Bracketology 101 said...
William & Mary's win over George Mason is big and they are slowly creeping back into the at-large mix. They have won 4 in a row and their OOC wins just keep looking better and better. A big problem for them is that they still may only finish in 3rd place in conference and that they have already lost twice to ODU. So it's really hard to imagine scenarios in which they get an at-large. Unless ODU collapses, they will be ahead of W&M on the bubble. So if W&M wants to get an at-large they need to hope for ODU to win the conference tourney, but that would likely mean the Monarchs beat them for a third time.
What could really get interesting is if ODU and W&M finish 2nd and 3rd and meet in the semi's. If W&M wins but then losses in the final it would be a very tough call between the two.
first of all if W&M gets an at large bid I might just have to give up on college basketball....has anyone taken a look at their SOS?? If you cant find a way to win that weak conference you honestly dont deserve to make the dance. Sorry...but do you honestly think they can do any damage at all? As for Maryland and WF...there are scenarios (depending on the seed and how the bracket shapes up) where they could make a run. W&M is not Davidson, and Steph Curry doesn't play for them either.
it's time for all of the ACC haters to eat some crow...they are probably going to end up with at least 6 single digit seeds this year....duke, maryland, wake, va tech, gt, clemson, and fsu. oh, and they are tied for the most teams in from any one conference...put that mess of weak teams from the A10 in the ACC and they would all be lucky to get to .500
- Paymon said...
Obviously, Anonymous has never followed the CAA. Are you Billy Packer?
It's not an easy conference to win, and it's extremely difficult to win on the road.
On "If you cant find a way to win that weak conference you honestly dont deserve to make the dance" ... um, George Mason did not win the conference in 2006 and they made the Final Four. How soon we forget.
If the CAA wins 4 of 5 TV bracketbusters (incl. ODU's game), the pieces will continue to fall in place for the CAA to be a 2-bid league.
Is it safe now to finally admit that Wake did not belong on the 3 line?
You can defend Virginia Tech til you are blue in the face. But it doesn't change the fact that they played a horrible OOC schedule. How about you just give the Hokies a 1 seed to reward them for playing cupcakes?
I agree with Paymon. The CAA has some strong teams and proved it with nice non-conference wins. The CAA would be very deserving of at least 2 bids. Sorry to ACC fans, but you will not get all 12 teams in. I think that teams like Maryland and Florida State would get a new appreciation for the CAA, if they would play them on the road.
- Bracketology 101 said...
The Wake-VT game was kind of a lose-lose situation for us seed-wise. If VT won, then Wake would seem overrated as a 3, and if Wake won, VT would get ripped for even being in the field. We admit that Wake was maxed out as a three, but we wouldn't be surprised to see them back up that high very soon given their overall resume. Next week, though, they'll probably be back to a 4.
James - How has VT not already gotten what they deserve? They are 21-4, 8-3 in the ACC, 2-2 against the T50 and 9-4 against the T100, and in most brackets are still between an 8-11 seed.
I'd say their weak OOC schedule has pretty much already been taken into account with their relatively low seeding. You can't just ban a team from postseason play because it turned out their schedule was weak - partially their fault, partially not - especially when they beat all of those weak teams.
sure, you're right....I'm sure the CAA is the same as it was when Mason went to the final four. You sure you wanna go there?? Really? Has any team been back since? NOPE. Has any team been there in recent memory before Mason did it? NOPE. Chalk that one up to a fluke run with a senior laden team. Oh and just for the record Davidson with Steph Curry (the year they lost to Kansas at the end) would have murdered Mason.
We'll eat some crow Gary when a team not named North Carolina actually makes it past the Sweet Sixteen. That hasn't happened now in 6 years despite the ACC always being ranked as the best or second best conference in RPI and getting a bunch of teams in with generous seeds.
the reason the CAA plays tough non-conference games is because their in-conference games would be cupcakes for the powerhouse teams. Think about it....would you rather play mason, northeastern, odu instead of Duke, UNC, Wake? Of course you would...it's not even close, look at the consistency of the big time programs...better coaches, better recruits, better teams. There is a reason why nobody from the A10 or the CAA goes to Cameron Indoor during the regular season

Why do you hate Dayton so much? They have every right to be in with their overall resume. Much better than Mississippi. What have they done? They have beaten KSU and that's it.
- Bracketology 101 said...
Dayton's problem has been the same for weeks now: they have the sixth best resume in a league that we think will max out at five bids. Looking ahead (which we do, remember, when we put together our bracket), the Flyers still have road games at Temple and at Richmond, which we don't see them winning given their recent road struggles. Losing those two games would mean Dayton would finish at best 10-6 in the A-10, which wouldn't be enough unless they made a deep run in the A-10 tourney.
Dayton's best hope for a bid is to go 5-1 down the stretch and hope that the two lowest A-10 seeds in our bracket - Charlotte and URI - fade down the stretch. Then the Flyers could sneak in as the A-10's fifth team.

The only reason Mississippi is still in our bracket (as a 13 seed) is their schedule for this week. With Vandy and Florida coming in, the Rebels have two huge chances to pick up the big SEC win they so desperately need.
Hey you guys do a great job with your bracket and I am sure you watch a lot of basketball games. I would be curious to know which bubble teams you think could do the most damage in the tournament as a 11-13 seed. I will go with Cornell, South Florida, any A-10 bubble team.
- Bracketology 101 said...
We like the teams you mentioned, and keep an eye on Utah State and Old Dominion too. Both have an impressive OOC win on their resume (BYU and Georgetown respectively) and each will prove a tough out for whoever they play in the first round (if they get in). If UConn finds a way to sneak into the field in the 10-12 range, they'd be the ultimate sleeper.
Paymon is right on the money about "anonymous". It is likely Billy Packer. Packer is an ACC elitist homer who hates smaller conferences.
Virginia Tech's pre conference schedule was as embarrassment. Seth Greenberg should be ashamed of himself!! The Hokies should not get a high seed after feasting on cupcakes and ice cream bars in pre conference. Pathetic scheduling Seth!
Hey, I just wanted to point out that A 10 teams have gone to Cameron Indoor. I know Charlotte did this year, last year Rhode Island, and the year before that Temple did I believe. Rhode Island actually almost won last year, they only lost by 3. I think the reason Duke doesnt schedule games like that is because the ACC doesnt want to help any potential bubble teams that could steal bids from the ACC come March.
Georgia Tech is right now 6-6 in ACC. They have 4 games left (at MD and Clemson, home v BC and VT), and could very well lose 3 of the 4. Assuming that they do, and therefore end up 7-9 in ACC, are they still in?
OOC is nothing impressive -- best win = at Charlotte. Otherwise, just home wins over Siena and USC, neutral over G Mason. OOC losses are neutral ct loss to Dayton and away loss to Georgia.
Not really sure how they deserve an 8 seed at this point, but if they lose 3 of their 4, how much repair will they need to do in the ACC tourney to feel comfortable?
And anonymous, why would someone like Duke want to schedule a dangerous team like top A-10s?
They lose, they look like chumps. They win, and the reaction will be, "well they had better win over a mere A-10 team." It is a no-win situation for a team like Duke.
Although I would like to see the mid-major's get more of a shot, it is just reality that essentially all big BCS teams will schedule lots of home games ($$$$$) against teams that will not require a return visit (read: smaller teams willing to take a beating in exchange for a payday) and a few games against other BCS / big name schools. That way, if they lose, then it is at least against someone who can seem impressive and if they win, they get a free Big Dance ticket with even a mediocre in-conference record.
Anonymous, is Duke making a return trip to Rhode Island?
Are Oklahoma State and Mississippi facing must wins tonight?
- BPH said...
Are head-to-head matchups the only tie-breaker between bubble teams (i.e Dayton over Old Dominion, Charlotte over Louisville, UAB over Cincy) or those don't matter if you think the conference is stronger?
Aside from winning the Conference USA tournament, does Memphis have a shot at getting an at large if they go 4-1 in their last 5 games?

GyojiBot commands your presence in the ring.
Sumoblitz features
We know that the humans wrestled, like us, and that their wrestling took many forms.
We know, also, that to distinguish themselves from the beasts of their world, the humans felt compelled to disguise their wrestling within the rudimentary political and social constructs of their era. For example, they did not use an energy ring, as we use: instead they built 'Houses of Parliament', arenas of stone, within which opposing choirs chanted ballads of hate to drive each other from sight.
We believe, also, that humans judged weak of mind were forced to compete in electrically-transmitted displays of debased social wrestling: human documents of the time describe these 'reality shows' in torturous and harrowing detail, and you may learn about them elsewhere.
Colleagues, I digress.
Historical records have taught us that - as late as the 24th century - the human heads of state settled conflicts by practising wrestling in its purest, physical form. They called this practice Sumo, as we do, and its mechanics were much the same as our own Sumo.
Their technology was primitive, of course. Documents teach that their 'energy field' was an imaginary one, and its effects were not fatal. Their ring was round and their contestants were square; for us it is - as it should be - the other way around.
But today, I ask you to consider that much of accepted Sumo history is still based on our ancestors' first interpretations of tomes found beneath the Cambridge University Library ruins - over 300 timeslices ago.
It is time, I propose, to consider an alternative scenario - a scenario for which I intend to present compelling evidence today. A scenario that, if made public knowledge, would confound even the quick wit of KosokuBot or the probing mind of SosakuBot.
For it is my earnest belief that, for the humans, Sumo was just a game.
1. Who is GyojiBot?
I keep six honest serving men.
2. Can I see GyojiBot?
No, GyojiBot can see you.
3. Why does GyojiBot hate me?
GyojiBot does not hate you: he merely loves the pattern of light you emit as you perish. Make haste to evade his loving gaze.
4. Why are all the FAQs about GyojiBot?
GyojiBot commands it.
5. What are the minimum specifications for this game?
The minimum specifications we recommend for this game are:

After high school she went to Whittier College where she discovered that she was very talented in singing and acting. She became a well-known actress performing in small theater for many years, and continued acting while raising her two sons. Eventually she settled down in San Luis Obispo, Calif. where she was a guard at the California Men's Colony until she retired. After retirement, she moved to Ashland, Ore. where she enjoyed many years living close to family and friends.

In-Progress On Saturday: Pre-Race Programming
It will be a one hour Saturday morning version of NASCAR Now that kicks-off the day for NASCAR fans at 10AM Eastern Time. The show will be anchored from the ESPN studios and will feature live reports from Richmond. It will be ESPNEWS on-the-air after the race with coverage of the Infield Media Center interviews and highlights.
SPEED begins the NASCAR day at 3:30PM Eastern with Tradin' Paint. This week it will be Washington Post reporter and veteran NASCAR writer Liz Clarke joining Kyle Petty and host John Roberts. It should be interesting to see what they have to say about the big Friday night TV network simulcast of the Nationwide Series race. Clarke's recent NASCAR book, One Helluva Ride, is a great read for fans.
NASCAR Performance follows at 4PM and this show has been building a big audience. Larry McReynolds hosts the show and has Chad Knaus and Bootie Barker along on his crew chief panel. This fast-paced thirty minute show is worth watching or recording, both for its outstanding information and also its very good sense of humor.
NASCAR in a Hurry is up next at 4:30PM, and either Randy Pemberton or Adam Alexander will be recapping the best video from the past twenty-four hours. This show is a cross between Entertainment Tonight and SportsCenter. Lots of video with a host that simply introduces the next feature. It is an easy way for fans to get caught-up on what has gone on in practice, qualifying and the Nationwide Series race.
At 5PM, it is time for "the franchise" to hit the air. RaceDay will be two hours of chaos as usual and that is exactly what fans of the show enjoy. John Roberts will be hosting alongside Jimmy Spencer and Kenny Wallace.
This week's show will have Robby Gordon as a live guest. Gordon has some interesting stories to tell about his recent rally adventures as well as a NASCAR team update. Wendy Venturini's Real Deal segment this week will feature Casey Mears.
There will also be a recap of the staged photo opportunity recently at Darlington involving Carl Edwards and NASCAR legend David Pearson. It was this column in the The Daly Planet that informed readers of the hilarious and outspoken interview Pearson gave to Nicole Manske at NASCAR Now that day. It should be interesting to see how SPEED chooses to present the same information.
A very positive feature on RaceDay will be a report on the NASCAR ties to the upcoming ARCA race at Rockingham. This track has been restored to working order and has been the scene of many test sessions, but Sunday the ARCA guys will be putting fifty cars (last season's Cup cars) on the track for what should be a great show. Kudos to Andy Hillenburg and the entire dedicated Rockingham staff.
Two notes for viewers. ESPN pit reporter Jamie Little and Mike Skinner are featured in the post-produced Toyota Celebrity race from Long Beach, CA on SPEED at 3PM. Also, SPEED will continue to keep Victory Lane on Sunday after the SPEED Report. Viewers looking for post-race content will have to turn to ESPNEWS.
This post will serve to host your comments about this "block" of pre-race programming on Saturday. There will be a new post up for the Sprint Cup race at 6PM, one hour prior to airtime.
The Daly Planet welcomes comments from readers. Simply click on the COMMENTS button below and follow the easy instructions. The rules for posting are on the right side of the main page. Thank you for taking time to stop by and share your opinion.

Thanks again for keeping us informed on "what is going on where." NASCAR Now was very informative...Marty Smith is a great asset to ESPN. Also liked the clips with the U.S. Navy.
There will be a lot to see today, sandwiched in between other sports including the Kentucky Derby.

Kyle Petty is the second driver to say this week that Dario's hard hit was one of the WORST things he has ever seen, and scariest wrecks.
I am still stunned at the lack of attention it got on ESPN but I am glad others know how bad it was....
I can't remember the other peson who commented...DW maybe?

"Also, SPEED will continue to keep Victory Lane on Sunday after the SPEED Report."
JD, again I think many fans want or need (if they don't have ESPNEWS) this post race coverage from SPEED. This forces fans to wait an ENTIRE day after the race to see a post-race show. Why can't SPEED put Victory Lane on Saturday in addition to having in in its "Sunday racing block" with wind tunnel and SPEED report?
JD, I think you should do a column on that.

Anon 4:26PM.
Last season SPEED made it clear that the Saturday night races ended too late for them to present Victory Lane in primetime.
They want this show to be a feature program, and not on at midnight or later. I agree with you, but SPEED is going to once again not show Victory Lane until Sunday.
Keep the pressure on, and keep making your voice heard. That got great results with ESPN, hopefully SPEED will consider changing this for 2009.

I actually agree with Speed about VL on Sunday. By the time the race ends Sat night I am toast. I've been sitting in front of the TV for at least 4 hours and it's usually 6 counting RaceDay etc. I have reached Nascar overload and am ready to call it a night. If it was shown Sat late I would DVR and watch the next day

Hate to mention it, but Fox has only allowed a 3 1/2 hour window for baseball this week.
Extra innings would begin the old collapsing pre-race show trick.

You could have knocked me over with a feather when "Tradin' Paint" totally avoided talking about the Nationwide race from ESPN that was carried live on SPEED.
I am certainly going to follow-up on that one.

JD wasn't Tradin Paint taped before the NW race perhaps they didn't want to say anything until after it was over and all went well.
- May 3, 2008 at 5:12 PM

I enjoyed Tradin' Paint it was really something tha Kyle & the gal there (I forgot her name) agreed on a lot of items. Yes, this will be really funny for Nascar if the baseball game goes over.

Rutledge needs to be kicked to the curb. He is just gawd awful, and by far the worst on-air talent of anyone across all NASCAR TV networks. He is just dead weight on RaceDay. The show would be much better without him. If I wanted lame attempts at humor, I'd watch a comedy. I watch RaceDay for pre race news.
- May 3, 2008 at 5:30 PM

I agree with Jimmy Spencer - that Rutledge segment was pathetic. The guy has no shame and is only marginally (at best) funny.

What is a back haul feed line with no breaks?
Sorry for not getting back to you last night.
The back haul feed goes up to the satellite (or via a fiber optic line) directly from the site of the event. (in this case the track)
The network (ESPN, Speed or whoever) then takes the back haul feed and adds in the break material. Now, the back haul feed becomes the front haul feed. The local stations then take the front haul feed and send it out to you. Generally the front haul feed has locations within the show where your local station can put there own material in.
So watching back haul feed of the race in SD is better than watching the front haul feed in HD.
JD can tell you how nice it is to watch the back haul!
The cameras are still following the action during the breaks and that is how I saw Reut. spin during the break late night.
Tonight however I will be watching at home instead of at work so no back haul for me.
- May 3, 2008 at 5:42 PM
- Anonymous said...
@newracefan--true but it's still early on the west coast so they would be up and those like me who don't know how to take themselves to bed would still be up. *or* at least can record it and watch during the day Sunday and not have to wait.
@JD--I don't think they did Tradin' Paint today, I double checked the recording and it was dusk behind the gang and it was getting darker as the show went on.
@Lisa--they talked about the Stephen-Kylie incident in the opening segment.

anon about T Paint Split screen. a couple weeks they used a split screen to show the guest and Kyle on the tv like they do on news talking heads show. I HATED IT...very distracting!!
Apparently others did not like it either and it's gone. As is the awkward table where we could see the bad posture or the legs of the guests which was bizarre.
Thanks SPEED for tweaking TPaint to make it more viewer friendly.
- May 3, 2008 at 5:51 PM

Sorry I did forget about the West Coast but the length of time still stands. If there isn't at least somewhat of a break between race end and VL I pay much less attention or DVR for later. Unless of course my driver won then I am ordering out for dinner and watching.

Wow! I missed a couple moments of Trading Paint and TOTALLY missed the Steve Wallace talk. Darn it..also got a call into the show towards the end.
TP and NP NEED STANDARD TIMES AND REPEATS. I love NP and really loved the tech stuff they showed today. That is MUST SEE TV if you are a detail freak like me. The more I know the better I like it. They used to cover this stuff once in a while on INC (back when SPEED had a FUN "CONVERSATIONAL TALK SHOW ON MONDAY and not some video filled trainwreck, but as i was saying.
I love the emails of questions and the trio of Larry, Chad and Booty. That show DESERVES MORE ATTENTION.
JD, don't you think NP should be part of a Monday night block on SPEED since most of us think TWIN in it's CURRENT FORMAT STINKS? TP would be good Mon PM as well.
I also miss VL being after the CUP race..they did that a LOT last season and STILL would repeat it on Sun before the SPEED Report.
Sadly, SPEED has made many tv show blunders...RUINING the discussion of the SUNDAY RACE for 40 minutes on INC and not showcasing some shows that MANY WOULD ENJOY!!! TP and NP.

I am so jealous you get to watch that feed when you are at work! Sounds awesome!
I have to go to NYC the rest of the year and will be living in a corp apt - which has basic cable.... No HD, NO DTV, NO Hotpass, NO Speed, NO F1, probably no Classic for the rest of the season!!!!! I am excited about working in NYC, but SO UPSET about losing so much nascar/racing coverage!!!!
I thought about getting DTV to Go, but it is still WAY too expensive so I will have to rely on SD network, internet and this great site!!! Needless to say, I will be living vicariously through your access to see the back haul feed!!

So far so good. Thanks to Kenny on Raceday for taking the high road. Very impressive to say right off the bat " I can't talk about Stephen" that showed how professional you are. Then you gave a great statement after JR said it would be all right.
Rutledge does at least get everyone off track for some half-baked silliness during all the high pressure of everyone having to be "politically correct and perfect"
I enjoyed the explanation of the 7-post rig. It would be nice if they would do a series explaining what the individual parts do and how they help. Not to in depth though, I ain't that smart.
I haven't noticed and dead horse beatings yet, but Digger is there, they still have time.
Enjoyable so far.
Hey JD, can we get spell check? I'm not to good at this, a good speller would help.
