Hogan Made Wrestling

Man, screw this game.

I bet Georgia loses to Florida next week without D.J. Shockley in the lineup. They barely beat friggin' Arkansas today. As far as Alabama goes, who knows if they will win this snoozefest or not at this point.

It is a good call, for the long term. One say Comcast is going to win the "digital war" and be the dominant media company in North America. At that point the NHL is going to be glad they hooked up with Comcast early on and built a relationship with them.

You mean deserving #2 teams like FSU in '00, Nebraska in '01 or OU in '03... right? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Aside from '03, there was a clear number 1 every year and the "controversy" was basically about what team would job to them in the title game. LSU in 03 is the only BCS Champ that wasn't unamimously regarded as the top team by the time the season ended.

Right now I'm hoping the Cowboys pick up either Brady Quinn or Drew Stanton.

I think a good retaliation for this would be for rappers to start wearing suits and following the "NBA dress code" in their videos. Maybe a good concept for a video would be a basketball game where everyone is playing in business clothes. Oh and you know, if the NBA doesn't want to be associated with the "hip-hop culture" maybe their teams should stop inviting rappers to try out every couple of years?

I have no problem with the BCS. I like the bowl system, and like the fact that the #1 and #2 teams get matched up so stuff like 1994 and 1997 don't happen.

Prediction: by end of the year, the same media and fans who are saying "Texax Tech is overrated and are only unbeaten because their schedule sucks!" will be saying "undefeated Texas Tech is getting screwed from a change to play for the championship, the BCS sucks!".

Hail to the victors! Oh and Dama, it's nothing personal but I'm really hoping Baylor beats OU this week. There's just something supremely hilarious about the idea of Baylor making a bowl game and OU missing out.

Rumoured actors so far for the part of Rocky's main rival are The Rock and Roy Jones Jr.

This was the best idea you had for a gimmick poster?

Why arn't there any indians on Star Trek? They don't work in the future either.

Michigan because they were expected to be better than last year and a national title contender, while OU was almost certainly going to be worse and were considered a one-man team.

Brilliant.

A white family, black family, and mexican family are living in a house together. One day, a fire starts and quickly burns the house down. Who survives? The white family: parents are at work, kids are at school.

What exactly would be wrong with wearing the team jersey on the bench? That shows a lot more team unity and is more appropriate for the game environment anyway.

The NFL's dress code for coaches is dumb but at least they are being forced to advertise their team's product and not conform to some stereotypical dress code. I'd say it would be reasonable to tell players "if you want to wear a jersey/cap it must be that of your current team".

Does a person's mathematical ability improve because they are wearing dress clothes? If anything, the students feel more comfortable having us dress and act in a casual manner. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> No, but I'd take a professor wearing a hat and a t-shirt (or even a throwback, like you mentioned) less seriously, but I guess that's just me. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> You'd be a really poor student then. I take my professors seriously because I am deferrent to their expertise and mental acumen, not their wardrobes.

That's fine that you do not have a set dress code in your school. I bet your basketball team, however wears certain attire on and during game day that their coaching staff tells them to wear. You can wear whatever you want if you have no enforced dress code. Who cares. The issue is in the NBA there is a dress code now. The players have to follow it instead of trying to fight it by calling it racist. Would you be angry if the University decided it wanted its staff to look more professional and required its professors and graduate students to wear more formal attire? Maybe you would. In the end, does it really matter at all? You are still there to perform your job that you are paid to do. The point is that if your higher ups want you to do something because they think it will benefit the organization and its customers, you do it. They know a little bit more than you about what type of impact they are going for with the procedure change. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> We'd tell them to fuck off because they can't enforce shit without having us agree to it in our Collective Bargaining Agreement first.

I have to laugh at the idea of pro sports being "the corporate world". I guess movie stars should all wear suits when they are on the set but not filming as well right? And I guess all the people working for companies in Silicon valley and so on with casual dress codes arn't adults either.

WHAT? Academia employees dress like juveniles? What next? Water is wet? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> So the only thing that isn't "juvenile" is the narrow outfit definition that Corporate America has decided is acceptable?

What's funny is that where I work (University of Oregon) not a single person among the 100 or so in our department (professors and grad students combined) wear a suit and tie when teaching class or around the office. I've taught class wearing a Dallas Cowboys jersey. Heck, I once taught class wearing full skin-tight USPS cycling gear because I was late and didn't have time to "change" (meaning stop at my office and throw a pair of casual shorts and a t-shirt over my form-fitting lycra jersey). I guess no one here dresses "like an adult" and it's not "the real world" because we don't wear dress clothes, jackets, and actually have the gall to think that sport shoes are acceptable footwear (of course, I typically go even further, wearing Chacos with no socks most days).

This sort of patronizing nonsense is really tiresome. You managed to hit every dumb cliche about pro sports in one single post, right down the whiny "if they don't like it they can leave there are plenty of kids that would like to play" line.

Also, if Mark Cuban wants the players representing him and his team to dress casually, who is David Stern to say otherwise? He doesn't pay their salaries, Mark Cuban does. The Dallas Mavericks, not the NBA, are the employer of those players. Personally, I'm waiting for the first player to get a custom-designed dress shirt that is form fitting, with stencil-on gold chains around the neck and tattoos on the arms.
