1. Oregon 6-0 (3-0 Pac-10) LW: 1 The Ducks came away with a win over Wazzu last weekend, but it wasn’t the blowout everyone was expecting. Pac-10 parity. Still the top team, but is the gap narrowing on both ends. 2. Stanford 5-1 (2-1) LW: 2 Down to the wire against the Trojans, but man did you see that hit… Read more »
Over at the Cato institute.
UPDATE: Jon Wilner talked to Pac-10/12 commissioner Larry Scott after today’s meetings and it sounds like, as predicted, no decisions were made. Either that or everyone is being tight-lipped about it until the CEO’s meet in two weeks. Looks like you still have some time to lobby for the USC/Colorado division, Brendan.

For most, the idea of relating rap music to comics seems…unusual to say the least. However, it is hardly unheard of. On Recovery, Eminem drops multiple comic-friendly rhymes with references from Superman and Lois Lane to Aquaman to Spider-Man, and.

Oregon 5-0 (2-0 Pac-10) LW: 2 The Ducks… Read more »
Mere moments into Social Network it become abundantly clear that this is a script from Aaron Sorkin (A Few Good Men, The West Wing, Malice). As Mark Zuckerberg (Jesse Eisenberg) and his soon-to-be ex-girlfriend Erica Albright (Rooney Mara) discuss/spar on the topic of Harvard’s final clubs—think the missing link between fraternities’ and secret societies like Skull and Bones—the dialogue snaps… Read more »
Well here’s an expansion idea I never would have imagined. The Big East, who are considering options to shore up their conference after the last wave of expansion, is apparently looking at TCU as a potential conference member according to this New York Post story. The schools has been successful both academically and athletically, but geographically its a bit of… Read more »
Thanks for coming back. Wasn’t yesterday great? Yeah, it was. Here are the rest of the books! Bright Shiny Morning By James Frey I read this early in the summer so the fact that I cannot remember much about it might not be a reflection of its quality. But it probably is. Flipping through it, I was disconcerted to find… Read more »
