Way to go Oregon State! By knocking off USC you have made it likely that the Red Raiders will move up 2 spots polls in their BYE week. There’s nothing like breaking the huddle from your arm chair and moving up in the polls.
The reason I say 2 spots is because Alabama and Georgia play this week, and both are ranked above us in both polls. One of them has to lose, it’s the way of the world. That coupled with USC’s unexpected loss to Oregon State should move us up to #8 in the AP Poll, and #7 in USA Today poll. Of course this is all speculative, but you gotta like our chances.
My family got tickets for the Baylor @ Texas Tech game during Christmas break. All of the tough games will be out of the way by then, it will either be a huge celebration, or just garden variety win trying to bolster what bowl game we go to. I’m hoping for the former because that could possibly mean a BCS game. I still see OU as the best team in our conference, with Missou a close second. I think Tech can beat Texas this year in Lubbock, but it will be damn close.
A “friend” of mine that I work with, whom is the author of the web comic Short Minds, recently made a strip about me.
Here’s my side of the story. I merely offered to play with him “if” he wanted to start a new character on my World of Warcraft server. He had mentioned to me previously that he had just got a new video card and wanted to know how the game looked with it. I just wanted to make sure he knew that the offer was there.
Today is International “Talk like a Pirate Day”. Just in case you needed t’ extra motivation t’ talk like a pirate today, here’s some place I found t’ help.
So avast ye matey’s, here be t’ booty ye been serachin’ fer:
Every pirate lives for something different. For some, it’s the open sea. For others (the masochists), it’s the food. For you, it’s definitely the fighting. Like the rock flint, you’re hard and sharp. But, also like flint, you’re easily chipped, and sparky. Arr!
Some men and women are born great, some achieve greatness and some slit the throats of any scalawag who stands between them and unlimited power. You never met a man – or woman – you couldn’t eviscerate. You are the definitive Man of Action, the CEO of the Seven Seas, Lee Iacocca in a blousy shirt and drawstring-fly pants. You’re mission-oriented, and if anyone gets in the way, that’s his problem, now isn’t? Your buckle was swashed long ago and you have never been so sure of anything as your ability to bend everyone to your will. You will call anyone out and cut off his head if he shows any sign of taking you on or backing down. If one of your lieutenants shows an overly developed sense of ambition he may find more suitable accommodations in Davy Jones’ locker. That is, of course, IF you notice him. You tend to be self absorbed – a weakness that may keep you from seeing enemies where they are and imagining them where they are not.
Well after watching a total dismantling of SMU by the Texas Tech football team, I can say that we are finally starting to look more like a top 10 team. There were still issues, but we didn’t let that stop us.
Our offense looked to be back on track, but there were still way to many drops. Harrell was well behind the receivers too much as well. On the long ball, the receivers were having to wait on the ball to get there, makes me wonder how strong his arm actually is.
Our defense was the best that I’ve seen in a long time. Lots of interceptions. I didn’t see a huge amount of penetration into the pocket though. Solid performance none the less.
Just wanted to give everyone an idea of my view from my office. It’s not the best view in the office, but it’s defiately not that bad. This is actually over looking Northwest downtown. My office is at 3rd and Congress on the 13th floor.
