Don't count your chickens before they're hatched. Tennessee is the odd man out because Georgia is the top SEC East team in the BCS and beat Tennessee head-to-head this season. The only way Tennessee gets the bid is if Georgia loses an SEC game because the tiebreaker then becomes Tennessee's win over Florida. Under the new tiebreaker, the rules are that the top team in the BCS gets the bid BUT, if the #2 team is within 5 spots of the top team in the BCS and beats them head-to-head, the #2 team gets the spot.

They'll be lucky to get by Pitt at this point because their secondary is hurting BADLY. I think they're going to go to a mid-level Big East bowl because VT or Pitt will get the BCS bid and West Virginia may pick up the #3 spot if they're REALLY lucky.

BCS doesn't take margin of win into account. If it did, LSU wouldn't be as low as it is in the BCS.

TENNESSEE RECOVERS A MUFFED FUMBLE IN THE MIAMI 20 with 2:00 left! It's unofficially over!

Interception, Tennessee! If they score, it's over.

Tennessee up 10-6 on Miami with 6:00 left to play, but Miami is driving. I still say that Tenn will pull it out, helping set the table for a possible LSU berth in the title game along with a LOT of help from elsewhere. (That will include Florida over Florida State, Mich. State or Purdue over Ohio State, a two-loss Ohio State over surging Michigan, and either Texas Tech or the B12 North champ over Oklahoma OR UCLA over USC.)

Let's see... White Southerners are referred to as: Racists (Because EVERYONE outside the south sees the flag as racist no matter what the person who uses the design of the flag actually thinks) Rednecks (Because God forbid anyone realize that cities are cities and the boon docks are the boon docks in OTHER parts of the country. If you added a little more heavy industry to Mississippi and moved it to New England, it would be like having another New Jersey.) Pickup-truck drivers (Yeah... everyone in the South owns a pickup truck and, because I live in Louisiana, I ride a pirough to work and have fucking alligators in my yard.) Dean's already got a bullseye on him from all of the other Democrats in the race and may not get the nomination if he makes a few more missteps. Even if he does get it, he's in serious trouble.

That's been proven over time... the only things that can survive a nuclear blast are cockroaches and Jake.

Besides Mick Foley? No one.

I know it's morbid to speculate this early, but I say its almost a certainty that alcohol was involved and I'm guessing that either a car or club drugs were involved as well. (This is going off of Crash's well-known rep as a drunk as well as the fact that he died this young)

Luis Guzman rocks the house in everything he's in, from supporting roles in Magnolia (game show contestant) and Boogie Nights (club owner / porn star) to bigger roles such as in Traffic (detective).

I think we all knew that the McMahons were clueless about the footage they owned whenever someone asked Shane McMahon in 2001 if they could do a Wargames match to blow off the WCW vs. WWF storyline. Shane's response was something like "I've never seen a Wargames match before... can you give me a tape of one?" despite the fact that they friggin' owned both WCW and Jim Crockett's footage libraries.

Yeah... it gets completely underrated because it's the same crew as Scarface, yet it's a MUCH better film. Scarface is overblown and has trouble keeping the plot going. Carlito's Way, however, is always on the path of Carlito trying to stay on his path of redemption and escape despite all of the temptations to do otherwise. BTW, Sean Penn gave what was probably the dramatic performance of his career as Carlito's lawyer. He was able to seem coherent at times, coked out at others, and completely fucking insane exactly when he needed it.

Ways to immediately improve the show: Tell Lawler that if he screams "Puppies!" or constantly repeats himself about a plotline for 2 minutes ever again, he's fired. Prep Al Snow to take over Lawler's position and tell him he is supposed to act COMPLETELY heelish in the role, not this "heel against JR, Austin, and Lawler but play up the babyfaces and knock the heels" BS they had him doing. Tell JR that if he ever talks about the Sooners, yells "Stone Cold! Stone Cold! Stone Cold!" or runs crappy cliches into the ground again, he's fired from commentating. Call up Jim Cornette and offer him more money for OVW and contracts for any 5 wrestlers of his choice (such as his guys who got cut from OVW like Flash Flanagan) if he'll accept the RAW play-by-play duties. Pull all McMahons off of TV after having them lose Loser Leaves TV Permanently matches to rising stars. Vince will be the only one allowed back and that is only for important announcements of the "Mick Foley is coming back" or "I just bought WCW" level. Let Ric Flair be Ric Flair and not Triple H's little bitch-boy jobber. Slow down Randy Orton's push so that it's not blatantly obvious to even the dumbest marks that he's going to get the title eventually whether he deserves it or not. Tell Triple H that he's not allowed to do ANYTHING on TV until he's healthy enough to wrestle again and not hurt himself, even if it means another year off or he never comes back. (Personally, I'd can his ass, McMahon family member or not, but I'm keeping this somewhat realistic.) Push Eddy, John Cena, Chris Benoit, Chris Jericho, Booker T, Rey Misterio, Tajiri, Brock, Angle, etc... pretty much all the usual suspects plus Rico, Paul London, and Spanky (good midcard pushes for them at the Cruiser level) Send Nathan Jones, Big Bad John (John Heidwhateverthefuckhisnameis), Sylvain Grenier (when he's healthy), Bradshaw, etc. back to OVW. Start bringing people in at least REMOTELY close to how they were used in OVW. The Bashams were feuding with each other on OVW TV at the time. Matt Morgan was a top babyface. John Cena was a top heel (this was when he was brought in as a surprise face challenger for Angle last year in the WWF). If you're going to use OVW guys with absolutely no plans, at least put them under masks as the Executioners or the Conquistadors so that it doesn't hurt them down the road. (They actually did this for about two weeks this year, although the APA Barroom Brawl Invitational was the last time I remember seeing it done) NO more skits done just for the enjoyment of WWE brass. This DOES include Bruce Pritchard putting himself on TV as Brother Love for no reason. If there is a surprise legend / opponent / whatever at the show, it is NOT allowed to be Fabulous Moolah, Mae Young, or Superfly Snuka. At least Afa and Sika the Wild Samoans would be a refreshing change of pace, although still not a great surprise, and it wouldn't be totally out of line for Vince to bring them in considering they're related to like 5 or so guys under contract. This is just a simple list made in about 10 minutes, with some of the ideas being more feasable than others. $100 says that the writers and bookers couldn't come up with half of this stuff if given a year.

In the preview for the next episode, the kid with the virus was confronted by his parents, who found it and also thought it was drugs. His mom was pouring it down the toilet when CTU breaks in wearing biohazard suits and Jack starts yelling about the virus being out in the open.

Season 3 Episode 1: The time has jumped three years and the hanging plotline of the attack on Palmer was written off with the line "we caught the people who tried to kill you." Palmer is now campaigning for his re-election and has come back to LA for the first time since the attack. His brother is now his top aide. Almeda and the chick he was seeing last season are married and both working at CTU. Almeda's head of the intel crew at CTU. Jack's head of the field agents at CTU and is all fucked up from his last big mission, involving the bust of a Mexican druglord. He's addicted to heroin(?) because of it. A dead body infected with a fast-acting biological agent was dropped off at a hospital and the people who did it have threatened to unleash it on LA unless the Mexican druglord in question is released. The Mexican druglord was about to cut a deal with the government when he suddenly killed his own lawyer with the pen he was using to sign his deal. A kid from a family in serious debt has smuggled a bag of what he thinks is drugs across the Mexican border. It actually contains the virus in a crystalline form. Kim Bauer is working at CTU as one of Tony's researchers. She's also dating Jack's new partner.

I *heart* the girl in the teeny white bikini.

I wonder if he'll use the "William Shakespeare told me to kill all the lawyers!" defense, which will cause stupid people everywhere to ban Shakespeare's works...

Yeah, I'll hit Google later and try to find one where he's got the frizzy hair in full effect.

OR ?

Direction? This company has a direction? Down the shitter is a direction, isn't it?

As an alumnus of a Conference USA charter member (Southern Miss), I'd be more than glad to see Marshall replace Louisville or Cincinnati on the football field. I'm less enthused about Rice and SMU joining (BTW: SMU was supposed to join when TCU did around 2000, but the plans fell through), but Tulsa is another good fit. Also, big props to LSU, as I watched them clean the field with Auburn. This should finally shut up the Sporting News, who predicted Auburn would win out its schedule. That prediction was a HUGE C.Y.A. by them since they were left looking like fuckin' idiots about 20 minutes into the season when USC started bitch-slapping Auburn, its pre-season national championship pick, up and down the field at The Plains.

And the couches are burning in Morgantown~! Now if LSU could just win out and beat Georgia in the SEC title game...
