What’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 [...]

Monday Ramblings

Turns 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 very large. [...]

I 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 is not a [...]

I 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 good. [...]

Go Navy!

No comments

The 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 I was deployed [...]

A 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 asking for from [...]
