* I'm currently in South Bend, IN. I'm an assistant coach for the women's basketball team at Otterbein College. We play at St. Mary's College tomorrow - it's the sister school of Notre Dame. I'm not an Irish fan, but there is something very cool about this town. It's good for college football for Notre Dame to have a great program. I hope they start to get it together again. I know as a Buckeye fan it was fun to play (and win) the 3 games that we played a few years back.
* College football is now played almost every day. First, there were Thursday night games. Then they decided to play games on the sacred high school Friday night. Now we have games on Thanksgiving (they're invading the pro spot). The smaller conferences will do anything for TV time. The MAC, the WAC, and every other mid-major is finding their way to the alternate times.
* One trend that I love is the prime-time Saturday night game. It's great to cap off a great day of watching college football with a marquee matchup on Saturday night. There have been some great ones this year. The atmosphere of these stadiums definitely picks up at night.
* This Marbury saga makes me sick. Imagine if you were making millions of GUARANTEED money & you told your boss that you were going to do your job. You would be fired.
* Practice? Practice? who needs to practice? I really can't believe a smart guy like Joe Dumars traded for Allen Iverson. Did he really think that Allen had changed? The Pistons will regret this move this year. I'm happy - I think it makes the road for the Cavs a little easier.
* I love getting together for the holidays. Yea my kids argue & fight from time to time. But I love em and there's nothing better to me than having them around.
* That being said - I'm amazed with some of the mean things that people can say & do to people that they care about. I'm guilty myself. When I stop & think about how I sometimes treat people that I love, it's ridiculous. Sometimes I treat total strangers nicer than family and friends. It's dumb.
* There's so much to be thankful for. As I get older, I definitely become more appreciative of the great people that I've had the opportunity to meet and have fun with.
* Why is every good movie that Adam Sandler, Jim Carrey & Will Ferrill are in they play the exact same character? I remember Will Ferrill's attempt to do something different (Stranger Than Fiction) and how terrible it was. Same for Jim Carrey (The Number 23). Jim Carrey's new movie (The Yes Man) is the same movie he starred in several years ago (Liar, Liar).
* I will never understand the thrill of Black Friday. But, I do understand the thrill of shopping on Dec. 24th.
* I'm a Donovan McNabb fan. Glad he turned it around yesterday. I don't like the way he's treated in Philly. I'd love to have him in Minnesota. You put a good quarterback in Minnesota I think they might be playing for all the marbles. I want that just once in my lifetime.
* The OSU Men hoops team has a long way to go. I like the way they look - tall, long & athletic. But they have a long way to go. I'm interested to see how they get better thru the course of the year.

Agree wholeheartedly about prime time Saturday nite football. The games this year have been so much fun to watch. And this with teams I not really thrilled about. But the Big 12 has been fantastic to watch this year. And tonite's game, Oky vs. Oky St. should be good also.
Agree about my kids. I encouraged them to do their own thing when they grew up. One lives in Charlotte, and the other in Cincy. I really miss them. I miss not being able to call them and and say let's go out for dinner, or come over for a cookout.
I like Donovan too. But I wish he wouldn't have gone into a mid season funk. He's my main fantasy QB. :-)
For those who might be interested, Sylvania Southview, a local Div. II team won the state championship game last nite, 29-25. They marched 80 yards in about 2:00 minutes to gain the victory. High school football, especially offenses, sure are different than they were, ahem...., 40 years ago. It was an exciting game to watch. Both teams exhibited great sportsmanship.
