The Swamp

I think Al Golden can go ahead and start working on his resume. 42-0 down to Clemson at home. At the half. Oof. He'll have even more time to work on it as he was fired today. Not a shocker. And with USC (both of 'em) already looking, they probably figured they couldn't wait if they want to land a b...

It was hard to tell on his iPhone screen.

(By the way, am I the only with a mental image of the whole Bengal family sitting on the sofa watching the game on Bengal's iPhone propped up across the room right in front of the TV?)

This site seems to have a pretty slick rating system for online bookmakers.

It doesn't like sportsbook at all. Bodog and Bet365 don't seem to be available for Americans.

Care to elaborate on how and with which site?

Any Swampers actually bet on sports online? From my Googling, it seems like it is still legal, yet this is somewhat murky. Most of the US laws seem to be targeted at the bookmakers, not the gamblers. That would seem to mean that an offshore site would be essentially legal. Of course, that's what the...

Shit, I should have gotten that one.

Oh yeah, roof games were awesome. Depending on the house, we'd either play where we'd bounce it off the roof or throw it entirely over to kids waiting on the other side. Do BB gun fights count? Had a few of those. Some kids had Red Ryder guns, so those with multi-pump guns (Crosman 760) had a 3 pump...

So this was a game I learned at Ace Adams Lacrosse Camp at UVA (Shirley will appreciate the reference). Dick Ball. One person starts at the end of a long dorm hallway with a lacrosse ball. The other sits with legs spread wide open. Person 1 rolls lacrosse ball as hard as he can at person sitting on...

I used to play a game on my basement stairs where I would kneel on the bottom step and toss my nerf soccer ball up to the top. As it randomly bounced down, I would try to hit it back up with my two hands clasped together. If it got past me, it was a score (or something) and if I hit it back some num...

Never heard of that battle, but I guessed the state right anyway.

I bet I know what song was in his head.

The internet has a nearly infinite variety of beaver films.

Answer: Where is Algeria? Somehow I fixated on Ivory Coast, but pondered if they would use that country since its name is 'Cote d'Ivorie', but I know Algeria is huge so I went with that. Ethiopia, Eritrea, Equatorial Guinea, Uganda and Angola are other nations on the continent beginning with a vowe...

Fabregas plays for Chelsea now, so you can't hate them too much. Well, you probably can. I can. Fabregas's greatness is canceled out by Diego Costa's douchiness. And it's just darned fun to see Mourinho implode like he has this year. I can't disagree with any of this. Thirded. All in favor? I'm a C...

Nope. The one I picked was close though.

Or maybe Jones played better in the game than he does in practice. There's a long list of backups who have torn it up in the first half-game they get put into.

I had no idea that was a novel.

With so little data on rookies who played one year of college basketball, I wouldn't pay attention to ANY statistical projections. There's just not enough good data with which to project. Hell, I would bet it's very hard for any rookies, even if they played four years of college.

Saw the OTL piece this morning. One critical detail is that the last time this woman put together a "party" for McGee, he wasn't even still employed by Louisville! He was already at UM-KC (I think). Obviously he wasn't doing this out of the goodness of his heart. Someone else at Louisville...

Nope. I thought of the right guy first, but couldn't think of his name, so I switched to the same wrong guy that two of the contestants picked. I got the woman wrong too.

Put me in the The Bends is the better album camp. They're both great though.

Not necessarily. Perhaps they are so good at space travel precisely because they are good a colonization. And the easiest colonization is to quickly and efficiently eliminate any previous dangerous occupants. We're dangerous. And to a species that advanced, we'd seem very primitive and probably igno...

Can you translate this? Everything after "Home dog."

True, but I get his unease. It would be hard to get used to.

Watch that vid. It's incredible.

That's an interesting chart, but without delving into data on what qualifies as "government employee" and cross referencing to number of programs available, scope of programs, etc - it's hard to get a grasp on what the numbers actually mean. You get into a lot of questions like "does...

Man, what a great article. I'm a mess over here.

So after 7 miserable seasons Toronto FC has clinched a playoff berth. Sadly for them, their home game occurred at the same time as the Jays-Rangers epic Game 5. I turned to the game during commercials, and there may have been 10,000 cleaning ladies, warehouse staff and other friends of season ticke...

Yeah, The Martian movie was excellent. I really hope it leads to a resurgence in interest in science and engineering. It really was inspiring.

Also a lucky guess (well, the clue did provide some help).

I get frustrated when people throw out the term "racist" when someone else insults a nationality or religion. But it's the kind of thing you really have to be careful about mentioning, so I almost always let it go. Of course, it can get tricky when a nationality and race are closely assoc...

Why even put OOO? And why say you are on vacation? I always say that I will have limited access to emails and such during a specific time period and to contact my co-workers. Same message goes to internal and external users. I'd like know that someone was on vacation versus, say, at a conference or...

What's the problem with "OOO"? Isn't that a pretty much universal work abbreviation That is an unknown abbreviation at my workplace. Write it out. Also, do not poke the bear. OOO was always used at my current company. And then we were bought by Microsoft. Everyone here uses OOF. I guess t...
