LSU got by Tulane.
Florida lost to Auburn. At home.
Five of the top-ten ranked teams lost this weekend. I am happy LSU was not one of them. In fact, I heard (and read) some folks suggest that with USC’s weak showing at Washington that LSU will make up enough ground to perhaps take over [...]

I like to count how many different generations of Corvette I see on the road in any given day. Before the C6 came out the most I would typically see was 3. C3’s, C4’s, and certainly C5’s are all fairly common in the Dallas area. On rare occasions I would get a four generation day [...]

KT Tunstall released her second studio album a few days ago. I really enjoyed the first and picked up the second last night. If you haven’t heard of her, I imagine you have still heard songs from her first release. She is really something else. She was playing a lot of smaller coffee shops, clubs, [...]

Yes, I know I am mixing my sports metaphors. LSU moved to 4-0 (2-0 in the SEC) today as they defeated a feisty USC (the “other” USC) team in Death Valley. So far the LSU Tigers have
Shut out a weaker SEC opponent
Whipped a top-ten ranked team that I feel is over-rated
Predictably mopped up a [...]

In the “Don’t they have anything better to do” department…
Jessica Alba, the film actress, has the ultimate sexy strut, according to a team of Cambridge mathematicians.
The academics found that it is the ratio between hips and waist that puts the sway into a woman’s walk – and the nearer that ratio is to 0.7, the [...]

So far the LSU Tigers have (a) Shut out a weaker SEC opponent, (b) whipped a top-ten ranked team that I feel is over-rated, and (c) predictably mopped up a second-tier opponent in Middle Tennessee State. The score yesterday was 44-0. What was significant, however, was that LSU started a new quarterback and gave their [...]

The game getting most of the attention later today is probably going to be Nebraska hosting USC. For the record, I am picking USC to win and likely maintain their #1 status. There is another high-profile matchup in the SEC as Tennessee travels to Florida to see if they can provide more of a test [...]

NEW YORK (AP) — Bill Belichick should be able to read this signal clearly:
Spy on your opponents, and it will cost you.
The New England coach was fined the NFL maximum of $500,000 Thursday and the Patriots were ordered to pay $250,000 for stealing an opponent’s defensive signals.

The national “Do Not Call” list was started in 2003. If you registered your phone number(s) you should know that the registration is only good for five years. I had forgotten about it until I read a headline on another site, so I went on over to the registration site and renewed my phone number.

Last week I opened my commentary on the 2007 LSU Tigers season with an entry titled, “Good opening but questions to answer…”. To be honest, I feel like I could do the same this week. Going into the game I wasn’t sure Virginia Tech deserved their #9 rating. It seems that early season polls are [...]
