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. I haven't been impressed by Pittsburgh at all beyond Larry Fitzgerald but Miami might just be folding their tent at this point. If they finish in a tie for 2nd though they'll definently get picked by the Gator Bowl for the Big East #2 berth. Oh and to add if there is three-way tie for first, meaning Miami wins out and Va Tech and Pitt both lose one game, odds are Miami will be ranked higher in the BCS than Va Tech and certainly higher than Pittsburgh so they would get the Big East BCS bid. Again though who knows if they even care at this point to go after it and it is all moot if Va Tech wins out. Oh and this Miami loss by proxy really helps USC and really hurts Florida State.
-
And now Miami's season is offically falling apart. Their slim national title hopes are gone and also any shot at getting one of the two at-large BCS berths are gone. They still can win the Big East to get into a BCS bowl but they need help.

Actually the comptuer ratings don't take into account margin of victory anymore. They changed either before last year or the year before.

And who knew the "Dream Team" would lead to the an even bigger embarassment in the 2002 World Championships? There was only one "Dream Team" and that was the '92 team. Oh well at least they went undefeated in the Olympic qualifying this year.

Hmmm that reminds of the story that used to be that when a female porn star would enter the business they'd first have her do a scene with Ron Jeremy because if they could handle having sex with the hedgehog they could handle anything.

Just bumping this up for tommorrow so it don't fall off the page. New Mexico beat Colorado State 37-34 tonight. Damn sounds like a good game but I completely forgot to watch.
-
Another problem with how the Olympics are set up is that only two teams from North America can go which is the same number of teams that can go from "baseball crazy" Europe. I always figured in team sports the defending Olympic champion didn't have to qualify but guess not.

Logo Home Road ("Sand" color) Alternate Sand? Bleh, home uniforms should always be white and road uniforms should always be grey damnit! And I wish teams would drop the softball 3rd jerseys. Leave that shit for batting practice and Spring Training but wear real uniforms for real games but most teams are guilty of it now. Got no problems with the logo or lettering though.

I think that they are bing turned face, so they need to loose a bit. On the bright side, maybe they'll reform Team Angle. Well they edited out and never mentioned last week's handicap match with the FBI and this week they are on Velocity against a face team in Kidman & Funaki so that tells me that they might have already scrapped the face turn. They obviously have no clue what to do with them right now. Oh and on the Survivor Series match notice they have yet to have Hardcore Holly return? What's the point of him not showing up yet? I'm not dying to see him but why the fuck should anyone care about him just because he's cut a couple of video promos against Brock? So are they going to have him run in next week and expect the crowd to go apeshit because its fucking Sparky Plugg? Oh or maybe they are saving his "big return" for Survior Series? Got to protect the buyrate ya know.
-
Its all a part of Bud Selig's master plan to make all teams look like the Brewers.
-
I'll tell you this...they don't kick ass. Maybe a team fielded with Fernando Valenzuala, Sid Fernandez, Rick Reuschel, and Bob Horner could pull off the softball uni look but otherwise they should all be burned.

I have no desire to see a video of a guy fucking a twig.

Hmmm for Stevie's sake I hope he wasn't present at the time of the death or he might find himself out of a job if was using and/or supplied the drugs himself. How long before the Confidential segment on this, "Steven Richards killed Crash Holly"?

Good, guess they decided not to have another lame award show on ESPN for this.

Well I'm the last person to defend Bonds but he hasn't won a gold glove since '98 and he was at one time a great defensive outfielder.

From 1bob: Dark Matches: Orlando Jordan d. Bobby Rude Orlando came out to a decent pop in the beginning, but there wasn't much crowd reaction during the match. Bobby Rude received a "we don't know you" chant. Jordan won with his finisher, which I don't know the name of. Rhyno and Horshu d. Tyson Dux and Jason ??? Rhyno came out to a pop as well, and there were plenty of "Gore!" chants. Horshu is a solid big man, and showed off his strength. Tyson Dux is a hell of a dancer. Match ended when Rhyno gored Tyson. Velocity: TWGTT d. Billy Kidman and Funaki Kidman landed a sweet drop kick, and the crowd cheered for Funaki, but TWGTT got the win after Shelton landed the super kick on Funaki, rolling Haas on top for the pin. Shawn O'Haire d. Showtime Eric Young Not great but not awful either. I was just happy to see O'Haire in the ring. Spanky and Paul London d. Moore and Kanyon Spanky had Kanyon in what looked like a face first Russian leg sweep position when London hit the enziguiri on Kanyon. I'm not doing the move justice, but it was nice! Other than that, it was 3 cruiserweights and Kanyon, all being effectively wasted... Rikishi, with Scotty 2 Hotty, d. Chuck Palumbo, with Johnny the Bull End comes after a Banzai drop from Rikishi. Scotty does the worm after the match. Thankfully no Stinkface. Smackdown! Rue comes out to sing America the Beautiful, and that girl has pipes. John Cena d. Rey Mysterio. John comes down to the ring to a great pop and was cheered throughout the match. During his rap he calls Rey the "Mexican Gary Coleman". He then got down to start the match on his knees. Funny stuff. At one point Cena had Rey up in a long hanging vertical suplex. Rey hit a 619 later in the match, but when he went for the West Coast Pop Cena crotched him in mid air, and hit the FU for the win. After the match, Paul Heyman and Team Lesnar came down to the ring, and Heyman tells Cena he has been appointed to Team Lesnar. Cena not quite politely declines, stating he wouldn't fit in on a team of sasquatches. A-Train attacks him from behind, then the rest of Team Lesnar hits the ring for the beatdown on Cena. Brock tags Cena in the dome with a steal chair and lays him out. Cena would be helped to the back by 2 refs. A Train backstage is added to Team Lesnar. Eddie and Chavo are talking backstage. Chavo tells Eddie that he has to win this match for the familia, for the raza, for himself, and most importantly, for Chavo. He throws some guilt Eddie’s way, reminding him that he's the one who was pinned in the match, and the Chavo was the only one who stood by him while he was wrestling his personal demons. Big Show d. Bradshaw Show wins with the chokeslam. Some boring chants, not much to say about this match. Paul with Torrie Wilson backstage, tells her she has 3 minutes to get something done. Plug for SCSA's book. Kurt Angle is on the phone in the locker room when Chris Benoit comes in. Ron Simmons’s doctor has just told Kurt that he will not be competing at Survivor Series. Benoit is trying to calm him down when Torrie comes in to deliver a message from Paul Heyman: Benoit and Angle will face Team Lesnar (minus the Big Show) in the main event. Next was an Undertaker video interview where he states that the time has come for VKM to atone for his sins, invoking the name of Bret Hart, among others. Eddie Guerrero d. The Basham Brothers, with Shaniqua Eddie got great chants all night long and the crowd was solidly behind him. One of the Bashams did get in a nice pumphandle facebuster on Eddie. The end was a bit complicated, but funny. Eddie gets one of the Bashams down and goes up for the frog splash. Shaniqua jumps up on the apron, and tries to interfere with Eddie, who thumbs her in the eye. While the ref is distracted, the Bashams switch places. Eddie looks like he's going for the splash when he seems to notice the switch. He jumps down and snatches the cat o'nine tails from Shaniqua who is still arguing with the ref. After smacking the Basham with it, he then spanks the ref, and tosses it to the Basham boy who is just getting to his feet. While the Basham is trying to explain that he did not spank the ref, Eddie rolls him up for the pin. Latino Heat’s facial expressions are priceless. VKM came out for a promo that was much shorter than I feared it would be. Then again, I was expecting a 20-minute monologue. Ultimo Dragon and Jamie Noble d. Tajiri and Nunzio Not a bad match, but I dream about what these guys could do in the X-division over at TNA. Noble got the pin on Tajiri, and a Survivor Series title match is born. Main Event Benoit and Angle d. Team Lesnar by DQ Angle and Nathan Jones started out in the ring. Brock joined Cole and Tazz on commentary. Benoit took a lot of damage before making the hot tag to Angle. This included a long bear hug from A-Train, which prompted my boyfriend to say that A-Train obviously just wanted to cuddle. Benoit made the hot tag to Angle, who cleaned house. This is when Show came down to interfere. Bradshaw hit the ring after Show. The crowd was chanting for Cena, and he ran down to the ring for the chair. Carnage ensued, and not in a good way. Cena tagged Jones and Morgan with the chair before Show punched it back in to his face. Lesnar worked all three faces over with the chair before Team Lesnar departed, hands in the air, posing for the crowd.

Looks like they've dumped the WGTT face turn after cutting out the match last week with the FBI. I'm wondering why they didn't have Jimmy Yang tag with Tajiri?
-
This is all assuming none of these matches get cut out like last week. Velocity: Billy Kidman & Funaki vs. World's Greatest Tag Team Sean O'Haire vs. Eric Young Spanky & Paul London vs. Shannon Moore & Kanyon Rikishi vs. Chuck Palumbo Smackdown: Rey Mysterio vs. John Cena Bradshaw vs. Big Show Eddie Guerrero vs. Basham Brothers, handicap match Jamie Noble & Ultimo Dragon vs. Tajiri & Nunzio Kurt Angle & Chris Benoit vs. Team Lesnar, handicap match

Maybe I heard wrong but apparantly voting is now done by the players.
-
Oh and the A.L. winners are: C-Bengie Molina 1B-John Olerud 2B-Bret Boone 3B-Eric Chavez SS-Alex Rodriguez OF-Torii Hunter, Ichiro Suzuki, Mike Cameron P-Mike Mussina
-
I picked a left, center, and right fielder even though I know that's not how you have to vote but I think it should be that way and I gave Cameron the nod over Hunter but you could flip a coin there, same thing with Edmonds over Jones. Garret Anderson is an excellent left fielder though so I hope he wins. I forget why I went with Lee although I do remember I didn't think anyone stood out at 1B but I did these back in September on another message board. Besides gold gloves are easily the most subjective award given out.

Bored's Bowl Projections OR Everyone Else's You know I had been thinking about posting my own bowl projections and then started going through every team schedules trying to predict who wins each game and realized I'm too lazy. So why not just use everyone else's? I used espn.com (which has four stets of projections), SI.com, collegefootballnews.com, and collegebcs.com. Listed for each bowl is every team that is currently projected for that bowl so their may be more than one team for each slot listed and teams may be listed for more than one bowl. Obviously if only one team is listed for a bowl then the projectoins are unanimous. Basically this will just give you an idea of where everyone may or may not be going or might just confuse you. Obviously some match-ups are impossible, i.e. Miami ain't playing Virigina Tech but just both are being considered for the Orange Bowl depending on how things go. Also for the Fiesta Bowl I just list everyone projected there because the only tie-in is the Big 12 champ and Oklahoma won't be there so anyone could end up there.
