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.
Last night, inspired by the generally unsatisfying, incomplete, and often vacuous nature of the tweets I keep seeing from both Left and Right about the “Occupy Wall Street” movement and the ongoing economic calamity — and also by this National Review article, among other big-picture economic pieces I’ve read recently — I went on another one of my extended Twitter… Read more »
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 »
Apple co-founder, chairman and (until very recently) CEO Steve Jobs, whose inventions repeatedly changed the world as we know it, died today of complications from pancreatic cancer. He was 56. His death prompted massive news coverage (totally overshadowing Sarah Palin’s decision not to run for president) and an overwhelming outpouring of public grief more typical of a head of state’s… Read more »
The situation in the North is exactly where we left it a week ago. In the South, there has been some shuffling between the two trios of teams, but the gap between the two divisions looms larger than ever. This week, we get a slate of 5 conference match ups, while Oregon and Cal enjoy a bye week to prepare… Read more »
The final night of Major League Baseball’s regular season was ridiculous, absurd, impossible, unbelievable, indescribable. Thanks to a win earlier in the evening by the St. Louis Cardinals, the Atlanta Braves needed a win to force a one-game playoff for the NL wild card that they once seemed certain to win (having led by 10 1/2 games in late August)….

President Obama is in Denver today to give a speech about his jobs plan, but apparently he — or at least his press office — are slightly confused about which rectangular-shaped state Denver is located in: AAAH-HAHAHAHA. Hey, cut the man a break. It’s hard to keep all 57 states straight!
Apologies for the late post, in all the excitement over the latest Confrencegeddon flare up I forgot I hadn’t posted yet. Things have settled down and it looks like I won’t have to start doing Pac-16 rankings anytime soon. On to this weeks soon to be out dated rankings. NORTH 1. Stanford (3-0, 1-0 Pac-12) LW 1 Stanford continues pummeling… Read more »
[NOTE: For the latest, follow @UARS_Reentry on Twitter.] NASA’s Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite, better known as “UARS,” will soon crash back to Earth in an uncontrolled re-entry. NASA previously thought this would happen this afternoon, which meant North America was seemingly out of the woods. But according to an update this morning, the satellite’s descent has slowed, and re-entry is… Read more »
