So, Michigan ...Your BlogPoll is totally illogical. So, Michigan is two spots behind Cal he beat the team Michigan got blown out by? And, Michigan has an additional loss to a 1AA team whereas Cal's only loss came in the last seconds with its backup QB starting his first game. Makes total sense. Dropping Cal that many spots proves one thing, you didn't watch Cal-Oregon State and you probably don't know jack about the Pac-10 generally. <BR/><BR/>For you to even have Oklahoma that far ahead of Cal is just as ridiculous. Wait, so they lost to unranked Colorado and their best wins were against Texas and Missouri. Oh yeah, that is sooo much more impressive than Cal winning on the road against Oregon and at home against Tennessee.Erichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07264157725708694925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-69354306575123558792007-10-16T15:19:00.000-04:002007-10-16T15:19:00.000-04:00The San Diego Chargers, looking for more offensive...The San Diego Chargers, looking for more offensive firepower, acquired wide receiver Chris Chambers from the Miami Dolphins, sources told ESPN.com's John Clayton.PatriotsNationhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06135734612898802153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-87812385237241960942007-10-16T01:25:00.000-04:002007-10-16T01:25:00.000-04:00Seriously, who wants to get rid of the Wild Card a...Seriously, who wants to get rid of the Wild Card again?Melbyehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09552544565694159257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-81120923863928005942007-10-15T16:58:00.000-04:002007-10-15T16:58:00.000-04:00Cycledan one of the unheralded aspects of Nebraska...Cycledan one of the unheralded aspects of Nebraska football was the walk-ons they would get. Many of them were in-state and just wanted a shot to play for the Big Red. Callahan has abandoned that program and tried to go after top ranked recruits. <BR/><BR/>From what I have heard Callahan has not embraced the tradition of Nebraska football. This does not sit well with me since Nebraska is one of only 4 teams to have won 800 games (Michigan, Notre Dame and Texas are the other 3). I hope that the search does not take long and the new AD comes in and cleans the football house. Nebraska has the facilities and the tradition to still be a big time force in college football. They just need to get the right coach in there. My hope is it is not someone who is a big name. I hope they try to find a young coordinator in the Bob Stoops mold who will right the ship.futurelegendvinceyounghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02175243502967953702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-14295597619561078132007-10-15T16:42:00.000-04:002007-10-15T16:42:00.000-04:00I always sort of wondered how the Nebraska team st...I always sort of wondered how the Nebraska team stayed so good. They obviously had real powerful O-lines that could just about push around anyone they wanted. With top players wanting to play more in a pro style offense, it became harder to recruit those top skill positions. I guess if the local talent pool dries up and recruits don't see Nebraska as contending for a NC, recruits don't want to attend. <BR/><BR/>I always kind of liked Nebraska. Just a powerhouse old fashioned football school. Once they decided the answer was to go to a modern west coast, run and gun, short passing game type offense, they lost their appeal. <BR/><BR/>In college football we just expect the good teams to get the good recruits and the bad teams to stay bad. When perennial loser Rutgers, non-existent USF suddenly become powers while Notre Dame, Nebraska and yes, even my Syracuse Orange suck lately it is kind of interesting. <BR/><BR/>Syracuse used to get the top recruits from Long Island, NJ, Conn, and compete in Easter PA and get some from Florida. Now they are out competed by UConn, Rutgers Penn State (nothing new there), get nobody from Florida and they simply don't have the talent anymore. Frustrating to watch and I don't see a solution.CycleDanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08933822029791530613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-31738681625390547612007-10-15T16:06:00.000-04:002007-10-15T16:06:00.000-04:00Future Legend,I am from Lincoln, and I agree with ...Future Legend,<BR/><BR/>I am from Lincoln, and I agree with your post 100%.

The University announced that Steve Pederson, the Athletic Director who is responsible for the rotgut that is now Nebraska football, has been fired. Of course Tom Osborne is on the short list of candidates to take over. No matter who gets the job Bill Callahan is going to be on one incredibly short, short leash. <BR/><BR/>I went to school at Nebraska during the remarkable 5 year run that makes USC current run look like garbage. Hopefully the next order of business is the termination of Callahan and that "sophisticated" offense and the horrible D-Coordintor Kevin Cosgrove. <BR/><BR/>Nebraska has not had many good days for football this millennium but this is definitely one of them.futurelegendvinceyounghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02175243502967953702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-19384830415150796162007-10-15T15:40:00.000-04:002007-10-15T15:40:00.000-04:00@pv845United Way<I>@pv845</I><BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NZpPf-q2_es" REL="nofollow">United Way</A>marcomarcohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17507640418000407851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-78387933370489073612007-10-15T15:27:00.000-04:002007-10-15T15:27:00.000-04:00Im a big BC fan...

Red Sox versus Indians. It's like the French and Indian war, but instead of the French it's baseball players, from Boston. You've got Josh Beckett, Curt Schilling, DI-sah-KEE MOTTS-oo-ZOO-KEE-kah-KEE. But against the Indians they're gonna need more than blankets with small pox. They're gonna need baseball hits. Just ask C.C. Sabathia. This C.C.'s not a music factory, he's a pitching factory. The only reservations these Indians care about is a reservation for the World Series. There's only one playoffs, there's only one October, and there's only one logical spokesperson for baseball - Dane Cook.<BR/><BR/>NLCS: The NLCS. It all comes down to this. 9 games, 5 innings, 1 strike. It's the Colorado Rockies versus the Arizona D'Bags. Arizona's goal? Scoring goals. Baseball goals. Brandon Webb, (makes Spiderman's webslinging hand gesture with both hands and makes sound effect) Spiderman reference. And there's probably a player named "Ramirez". Meanwhile, the Rockies haven't been this good since they beat Hulk Hogan and Mr. T in the same movie. Todd Helton shouldn't have a batting "average", he should have a batting "outstanding". The Diamondbacks versus the Colorado Rockies. I'm pretty sure one of them is a hockey team. Which one? You'll have to watch to find out. 'Cause there's 20 guys on the field, but there's only one baseball Grammy, there's only one October, and there are three hundred of these promos.GuyInTheCornerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10281686811471557576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-3511189606212727692007-10-15T14:31:00.000-04:002007-10-15T14:31:00.000-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.GuyInTheCornerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10281686811471557576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-4969036197684575892007-10-15T14:24:00.000-04:002007-10-15T14:24:00.000-04:00Ohio State has been consistent?Did anyone not watc...Ohio State has been consistent?<BR/><BR/><BR/>Did anyone not watch that game against Akron where they were only leading 3-2 at halftime? They were lucky their offense scored any points in the 2nd half.<BR/><BR/>Herbstreit also said that LSU was the most consistent team all year. If consistency is barely getting by Florida and then failing to beat an average Kentucky defense, then I wonder what South Florida is...superbly consistent?<BR/><BR/>USF won't lose to Rutgers or Louisville. If anything, they could get tripped up against Cincinnati. Louisville's defense is horrid while USF has a stout defense. The Bulls will only have 1 loss this year (just like Syracuse will only have 1 win this year...BASTARDS!)A.P.

After this he references Dane Cook not being funny at all numerous times over the next year.<BR/><BR/><I>Round 2</I>- September 17, 2007 Dan Cook hosts an ESPN chat where the following takes place...<BR/><I>Matt (Philly)</I>: How do you feel about Bill Simmons thinking you suck?<BR/><I>Dane Cook</I>: (10:00 AM ET ) Who's Bill Simmons?<BR/><I>Clinton (Indianapolis)</I>: Dane, what was it like working on something as tense as Mr. Brooks? Would you like to play another role like that soon?<BR/><I>Dane Cook</I>: (10:04 AM ET ) It was nice to do something outside of my wheelhouse. Mr. Brooks was a blast to play, such a deviant, despicable guy. It was almost like being Bill Simmons for a day...Once again, who the hell is Bill Simmons?<BR/><I>Robert (Raleigh NC) </I>: Some people say you aren't funny at all. Others say you are genius. Why the varried opinion?<BR/><I>Dane Cook</I>: Everyone has an opinion on what is funny and what sucks. Just ask Bill Simmons, because he knows exactly who is funny, and who is not. After all, he is Bill Simmons."<BR/><BR/>That same day he was on Mike and Mike and told a story that he once ran into Derek Jeter in a hotel lobby and Jeter saw his Sox shirt and asked if he was a big fan to which Dane Cook responded, "I'm Not."<BR/><BR/><I>Round 3</I>-October 8, 2007 Sports Guy starts his podcast with Seth Meyers from SNL with this:<BR/><I>Bill Simmons</I>: You're a real Sox fan.<BR/><I>Seth Meyers</I>: Yes. I'm a <B>real</B> Sox fan.<BR/><I>Bill Simmons</I>: You're not one of the fakers like Dane Cook.<BR/><I>Seth Meyers</I>: No, no, no, I'm the real deal.<BR/>Then Sports Guy later says this: "We’ve all seen these baseball playoff commercials where Dane Cook pretends to be such a big baseball fan, even though we’re not sure if he could pick Albert Pujols out of a police lineup … so this week’s host is shooting one of those the baseball commercials, except he keeps screwing up the names really badly (absolutely butchers Rivera, Papelbon, Pujols, Sabathia, etc). And the director has to keep interrupting him. And then it goes on for three minutes."<BR/><BR/><I>Round 4</I>- October 12, 2007 Sports Guy answers a question about fake fans with this quote:<BR/>"It's the Dane Cooks of the world that need to be addressed. I know for a fact that Cook (A) wore a Yankees cap while taping an entire day of "Crank Yankers" phone calls, and (B) wore a Yankees cap and a Red Sox T-shirt to a "Man Show" season wrap party. Again, this isn't a third-hand story -- I have friends who would swear on the lives of their children that they witnessed those two "incidents" (for lack of a better word). Well, no true Sox fan would wear a Yankees hat under any circumstances, unless they were being tortured or engaging in some sort of twisted sexual role play with a hooker. So when he's doing the whole "I'm a huge Sox fan!" thing in his baseball commercials, or claiming that Derek Jeter told him he was a big fan and Cook responded, "I'm not" (an actual "story" that Cook told on the "Mike and Mike" show last month) ... I mean, he HAS to be called out on this stuff, right? I think it's time for him to write another letter to himself."<BR/><BR/><I><B>ROUND 5</I></B>- This airs, both pieces seperate at different points in the show but together in this clip, on SNL a couple of nights ago...<BR/><BR/><B>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1KRrXI-4GYg</B><BR/><BR/><BR/>Wow. Forget about the fact that he managed to get a skit on SNL in like 5 days but the fact that they did two of them and they were both funny was crazy.
