  1. Can you provide an example of a mediocre team that has drawn bigger crowds for other mediocre teams than for national powers? I've been a fan of a couple of teams that went 0-12 (2008 UW and 1998 UH) and at no point did I think, "Boy, I wish we could drop down into a competitive league with other shitty teams."
  2. I am still unclear as to why Jeff Bridges has moved in with Zoe Saldana and her real-life husband.
  3. Holy fuck:
  4. Cal is not firing Wilcox. They're having a damn good year for Cal. And they won.
  5. Home finale at America's Most Charming College Football Stadium...
  6. Everything about that dude screams PEDO, so I'm glad he's not on my side of the aisle.
  7. I drape myself in velvet.
  8. This is...interesting? Is he going to trade Charlie Condon and every other prospect for Wander Franco or something?
  9. I saw something in a college game last weekend that I had never seen before, and it makes me think that no one anticipated it when they changed the PP rules awhile back... UA at DU. UA #8 is assessed a 5-min major for checking from behind. 3+ minutes later, #20 for UA gets assessed a high-sticking minor, so it's 5-on-3, with the major penalty on the front end. DU scores with 1 second left on the 5-on-3, so the penalty board reads: #8 :01 #20 :48 So normally when there's a goal scored on a 5-on-3, that first penalty would come off the boards and #8 would leave the box, and the PP would have 0:48 remaining. But #8 was serving a major penalty, and majors don't end because of a PP goal. What's the call here? What the refs actually did: That doesn't make much sense to me.
  10. DeWayne Wise and Rusty Greer laugh at Zimmerman's catch.
  11. Castle Rock : Denver :: Rockwall : Dallas Did I do that correctly?
  12. How are Lou Whitaker and Dwight Evans not on the Contemp Era ballot?
  13. What the hell is with this guy's elbow? Did he pitch for Dusty Baker or Billy Martin back in the day?
  14. I was on "ballot transport," so we drove around the county every day unloading the ballot boxes. Every couple of days, we'd have one of the in-person voting places (VSPCs) on our route. Every time I went into one of those places, there were a bunch of election employees there doing nothing, and no people voting. I think the most ballots we collected from one of the VSPCs before yesterday was 28. Also, JeffCo has this gigantic machine that reads the signatures off the ballots and matches them to the signature on file in the registration in a split second. It's an incredibly cool piece of equipment. It generally matches about 2/3rds of the signatures on the first pass.
  15. Never, actually. Yankees went to a 5-man infield in extra innings one game this season, with Bellinger moving from CF to 1B. Paul moved over and basically played 2B, but the artifacts of score-keeping had him playing 8.
  16. Gotdam, it's like Spinal Tap drummers!
  17. Fucking truth right here. It's incredible to see the blue book for the first time.
  18. I have no doubt that you're correct, but I just cannot imagine a majority of Bexar County residents voting for this:
  19. It was 75 yesterday. People (including me) are starting to freak out because it hasn't snowed yet this fall.
