Tuesday, December 13th, 2005 at 11:58 amWhat’s wrong with this picture (from the Falcons 36-17 win over the Saints last night)?
On third-and-goal from the 2, Vick scrambled to his left and appeared to be pushed out of bounds near the 1. The officials spotted the ball at the 1, but Mora called for the review.
“Because Mike Vick told me to,” Mora […]

Monday Ramblings
Monday, December 12th, 2005 at 5:19 pmTurns out my mother-in-law already has a wireless network set up in her house. Who knew? She sounded a bit insulted when I said I was bringing my wireless router.
Although the score was much closer than the game, the Jaguars at least made it entertaining on Sunday. The Seattle game is looming […]
Sunday Ramblings
Sunday, December 11th, 2005 at 10:41 amThere is some discussion in the Grey Dog Software forums about the price of Bowl Bound College Football being very steep at $35. I’m inclined to agree. For a first issue product that still has some tweaking issues, $35 does seem a bit much. I’ll probably wait until a few patches are […]
OOTPBM Pics
Saturday, December 10th, 2005 at 2:14 pmThere are three new Out of the Park Baseball Manager pics on the web site. I broke down and pre-ordered the game today. It should be good, even if we don’t know enough about the online portion yet.

No Fly List
Saturday, December 10th, 2005 at 1:17 pmI wasn’t around to write for the site because I had to fly to Tampa for a meeting on Friday. Imagine my surprise when I found out that I was on the “No Fly” list! It seems that evey Christopher Johnson in the United States was on the government watch list. This […]

Ramblings
Sunday, December 4th, 2005 at 10:54 amI switched back and forth between the Texas Colorado and Army Navy games yesterday. I think the Texas A&M game was a wake up call for the Longhorns, and poor Colorado had to suffer through a serious beat down because of it.
Navy beat Army for the fourth year in a row. Life is […]
Go Navy!
Saturday, December 3rd, 2005 at 8:52 amThe Army Navy game is today at 2:30 PM ET. I tell my students at Texas A&M that they have a nice little quaint rivalry with University of Texas compared to the proud tradition that is the Army Navy game. Graduates of both institutions take the game very seriously. I remember when […]

Friday, December 2nd, 2005 at 8:19 amA couple of new posts at the Out of the Park Baseballl Manager site. In the first, Markus Heinsohn discusses the stats engine and how it works. The second post asks for volunteers to help write the OOTPBM manual. It’s not clear how they are going to choose the help that they’re […]
