    If comment #30 is correct, Mizzou was one of the lucky seven to avoid it. 5-0 so far. Go Tigers!

    ...he'll be downgraded to a 2 stars.  Sounds like he's a prototypical Big 10 MLB--will be an interesting battle for playing time between him and the pride of Solon (Solon Beef Days rock!), James Morris, the current starter and a true freshman.  

    Or, as is typical of Coach Kirk's recruits, he could end up as a Fullback, Tight End or D-Lineman...

    I've been following the story because I have such terrible claustrophobia.  When I heard the story and how long it could take to get them out it chilled me to the bone.  They have to expand the hole now and line it.

    Still need to get them out without mishap but it is looking good. I was surprised to read that the drill operator was from Colorado.

    Jeff Hart of Denver, Colorado, operated the drill, and said the entire rescue crew erupted with cheers when the T130 broke through.

    where the miners told their ladies at home to buy some sexy lingerie.  They said the first person sent down would be a physician.  My husband said that if he were down there, the first thing he would say to the doctor is "You better have a steak on you".

    the war with Al Qaida ends! Of course even if that were a possible point in time, people would then say that these prisoners were the last remaining members of Al Qaida and should not be let go.

    Try them or send them back to where they came from. Maybe they will lead us to Osama, or other masterminds. We've tried everything else.

    for the Oregon Ducks. The Ducks should move up to at least 2nd in the polls. They should be # 1 after today, but the Pac 10 gets no respect. I'm guessing Ohio State gets the top spot. I'd love to be proven wrong on that.

    Since I am always happy to see a Rick Neuhisel team lose, way to go, Cal. Nice win over UCLA.

    you were 7-10-1 in the handicapping and a Gator team that couldn't get there act together for more than a few plays at a time.
