As we all know by now, horror and death visited the United States once more today, some hour and 20 minutes from my front door in a small town called Newtown, CT. There was too much blood spilled and for too little reason, as it almost always the case when blood is spilled. The reality of it is overwhelming, stifling,… Read more »
Two more teams earn bowl spots, bringing the conference up to 6 eligible teams (7 if you include USC who are unable to go do to asinine NCAA sanctions). Who goes where is a much murkier picture. We know the game will be host by either Stanford or Oregon. Ducks only need one wni to earn their spot, Cardinal need… Read more »
Homemade laundry soap is wonderful if you’re frugal and/or if you have eczema. Compared to about $.14/load for something like All Free and Clear, you can make your own soap for less than $.01/load. And unlike many other so-called easy, frugal solutions, this one rates low for the pain-in-the-ass factor. You need four things to make your own soap: a… Read more »
It was the last weekend for the much anticipated matchup between Stanford and Oregon, which will likely determine who goes to the Pac-12 title game and would be the presumptive favorite there as well. I struggled with some of the rankings this week due in part to UCLA’s upset of Arizona and Washington’s loss to Oregon. The Top 3 teams… Read more »
In the last few years as a Penn State fan, I had one main fear: that somehow, Joe Paterno’s tenure at Penn State University would end in ignomy. Penn State fans like myself had prided themselves on the lack of scandal at the program: seemingly the last football program without one. It seemed too good to last. And as Paterno’s… Read more »

A shake-up at the top of the BCS rankings could benefit the Pac-12, but there was plenty of shake-up to go around here at home too. Meanwhile, Larry Scott and the Pac-12 watch with amusement as the rest of the country is in the grips of the latest rounds of Conferencemageddon. 1. Stanford (7-0, 5-0 Pac-12) LW: 1 The Cardinal… Read more »
The rankings are going to be a little different from here on out. The split format hasn’t been all that interesting given only 6 teams in each division and limited movement between groups of teams. I’m going to start doing a 1-12 ranking from here on out, divisional rankings are easy to draw from that and I think this will… Read more »
The Rankings had a BYE last week as I was out of town helping my brother and sister-in-law pack up and move. Check out the rankings below.
I can’t remember exactly how old I was when my dad brought home the first computer I would ever use, a Mac Classic I believe, for summer from the high school where he worked. My first memory of using a computer was playing the black and white version of The Oregon Trail. Fast forward a few years and I was… Read more »
