Hi! FYI, nothing is the same. Enjoy your summer.

Not only is the economy a wreck, the Gulf slowly dying, LOST over, but now, the one thing you thought you could count on, college athletics, is going "totally outer limits." (Samantha Baker reference)

Schools are suddenly jumping around from one conference to another looking for their next hot meal care of the good folks at the BCS; the ones being left behind are getting that Last of the Mohicans feeling; and meanwhile Notre Dame's over in the corner acting like the hot girl at the party who pretends to not know how hot she is. And if the Irish do that long enough, the other conferences are going to ignore them, and then they won't have a date for any big dance in any sport.

When you're thinking about that, think about this:
Nebraska to the Big Ten - Seriously awesome. Cook v. Rose EVERY YEAR? The Nittany Lions will probably turn off all ventilation in their building when they host. Though look for Cook to seriously lobby for the Big 12's Wednesday / Saturday schedule tout de suite. Huskers don't do back-to-back, y'all. And those Yanz transfers are going to go even less smoothly. In the future they should just transfer straight to Dayton, cut out the middle man. School. Whatever.

Colorado to the Pac 10 - Kritza v. Rubio EVERY YEAR? ...yeah, doesn't have quite the same ring to it.

Boise State to the Mountain West - How anyone can give up a yearly trip to Ruston, LA, is beyond me.

By the time you read this, UOP will be in the Big East and Stanford will be in a two-school conference with Duke. If anyone sees my copy of "Jabberwocky," let me know.
