Things that I want to point out:
1 - There are still plenty of experts who think that bubonic plague is, in fact, the black death. Then again, there are still plenty of experts who think a one-loss team from the SEC or Big-10 (which has more than 10 teams) or the Pac-10 would be more deserving of playing in a national championship than an undefeated team out of the Big East.
2 - The experts on plague may be right that plague is the black death. Football experts who think a team that has lost deserves to play in the National Championship when a team from a major conference, with major conference foes and wins, does not, well, they are not right. If teams from the SEC and other conferences want to prove they’re more deserving, start scheduling games against West Virginia and Louisville and Rutgers. Stop scheduling games against I-AA opponents. Otherwise, shut up. Rutgers is a major conference team, that, so far, has beaten all comers. Only Ohio State and Michigan can say that now, and after those two play, we (might if both teams win out) will have two teams that haven’t been defeated. There’s your national championship game. End of story. Period. Of course, Rutgers doesn’t have "tradition" (never mind being one of the two teams in the first college football game ever), and doesn’t have "history" or "stars" or national draw, so we’ll likely have another undefeated on the outside of the game looking in. Schmucks.
3 - I am awesome. I had my Trial Ad trial today, and I kicked butt. My partner was great, too, and our witnesses were great, and our opponents did a fantastic job. But our side got the jury verdict, and if feels grrrrreat. Good to have that out of the way.
4 - I remember poo-pooing the Kenny Rodgers acquisition when the Tigers picked him up, and I was wrong. I am going to poo-poo the Sheffield pick-up now, and hope that I go 0-2. I just think Sheff is the wrong guy at the wrong time for the Tigers. For too much money. And he’s getting old for a baseball player. And I think he’s annoying and it will be a struggle to watch any of his at-bats as a Tiger.
5 - No rest for the weary. 2 classes down (or almost down). One more soon to be out of the way. And yet I will still have to contend with half a month’s classes, write another seminar-length paper, work, research, study, and live. Yay for barbiturates.
6 - That last line was a joke.
