There is a reason why nobody has repeated as college football's national champions since Nebraska in 1994-95. It's hard. Just look at a few examples:
1996: Florida won its first national championship with Danny Wuerffel, the Heisman Trophy winner. The following year the Gators were ranked No. 1 until they went to Baton Rouge and were knocked off by LSU (28-21). Florida didn't go to the national championship game, but they did knock No. 2 Florida State out of it with a 32-29 win in Gainesville.
2001: Miami looked like a virtual lock to repeat as national champions after destroying Nebraska in the Rose Bowl (37-14) and bringing almost all of that team back in 2002. The Hurricanes went undefeated in the regular season but lost to Ohio State (31-24 2 OT) in the national championship game at the Fiesta Bowl.
2004: With two future Heisman Trophy winners (Matt Leinart, Reggie Bush), USC rolled to the 2004 national title by beating Oklahoma 55-19 in the Orange Bowl. But the Trojans' chance at immortality ended with a brilliant performance by Texas quarterback Vince Young, who scored with seconds left beat USC 41-38 for the national title at the Rose Bowl.
2008: Behind quarterback Tim Tebow, Florida won the 2008 national championship and had everybody coming back in 2009. The Gators were number No. 1 for the entire regular season and did not lose. But they had to beat No. 2 Alabama in the SEC championship game to earn a return trip to earn another shot at the BCS title. The Crimson Tide won the game 32-13 and went on to beat Texas for the national title.
So it's safe to say that Alabama knows that it is—pardon the pun—swimming against the Tide as it tries to repeat as national champions in 2010.
Coach Nick Saban has been in this position before. His 2003 LSU team won the national championship. But on Sept. 18 in 2004 his No. 5 Tigers lost 10-9 at Auburn, which went on to go undefeated and win the SEC championship.
"We have stressed to our guys the importance of looking at this team and making it the very best it can be and that it is a daily process. That has to be your focus—not what you did last year," said Saban. "They understand that it is more difficult to repeat something than to do it the first time. There is a reason for that."
But the consensus coming out of spring practice is that if anybody can repeat as national champions, Saban and this Alabama team can do it. Alabama, like Florida in 2009, will be one of the most compelling stories of the 2010 season.
On that note, let's celebrate the end of Spring practice with our early top 25 for 2010. I left a lot of good teams out. Feel free to tell me which ones you believe should have been included:
1. Alabama: Talent is not an issue at Alabama. Mark Ingram (the 2009 Heisman Trophy winner) and Trent Richardson are the best running back duo in the country. LB Dont'a Hightower and DE Marcell Dareus will be All-Americans. A Sept. 11 home game with Penn State will be an early indicator if this Alabama team has the right stuff.
2. Ohio State: In its 26-17 win over Oregon in the Rose Bowl, the Buckeyes showed us what is possible when QB Terrelle Pryor plays well (23 of 37, 266 yards). But the Buckeyes will run the table because of defense. DE Cameron Heyward (from Atlanta) will have an All-America season. Road games at Wisconsin (Oct. 16) and Iowa (Nov. 20) are the key. A Sept. 11 visit from Miami is also intriguing.
3. Texas: Yes, quarterback Colt McCoy, college football's all-time winner (45 victories), is gone. So are big-time defenders Sergio Kindle and Earl Thomas. But don't kid yourself, the Longhorns are still loaded. Garrett Gilbert, who subbed for an injured McCoy in the BCS championship game with Alabama, is now ready to take over. Texas will win the Big 12 again.
4. Florida: Ditto for the Gators, who lost the most decorated player in school history (Tim Tebow) and five NFL Draft choices off what may have been the best Florida defense ever. But Urban Meyer and the gang have recruited well. The offense won't miss a beat with John Brantley at quarterback because he has a great arm and a bunch of guys who can run fast. I can't see the Gators winning at Alabama on Oct. 2 but other than the Tide, who is going to beat them?
5. Boise State: The Broncos return 21 of 22 starters from a 14-0 team that beat TCU in the Fiesta Bowl. One of those returning is quarterback Kellen Moore, (39 TD, 3 INT) who should be in the hunt for the Heisman Trophy. Boise State flies all the way across the country to open with Virginia Tech on Sept. 6. On Sept. 25 they host Oregon State, a dark horse in the Pac-10. Win them both and Chris Peterson's team will be in the hunt for a trip back to Glendale, Ariz. This time, however, the BCS championship will be on the line.
6. TCU: A total of 16 starters return from what I thought was one of the top five teams in the country last season. The defense will miss Jerry Hughes, the pass rusher extraordinaire, and linebacker Darryl Washington. But Andy Dalton (3,268 total offense), the Mountain West offensive player of the year, is back and with his first victory this season (No. 30 in his career) will become TCU's all-time winningest quarterback, replacing the great Sammy Baugh. The Horned Frogs open with Oregon State, which should be a good one.
7. Iowa: Here is all you need to know about the Hawkeyes. Eight starters are back on a defense that finished No. 10 in the nation. The offense returns QB Ricky Stanzi (18-4 as a starter) and splendid running back Jewel Hampton, who missed all of last season with a knee injury. Iowa has some work to do on the offensive line but when has Kirk Ferentz not had a good offensive line? Ohio State comes to Iowa City on Nov. 20.
8. Oregon: If quarterback Jeremiah Masoli was back (he was suspended for the entire season in March), we'd be talking about the Ducks as a national championship contender. But with 19 other starters coming back from a Rose Bowl team, the Ducks are still the favorite to win the Pac-10. Oregon goes to Tennessee on Sept. 11. That should be interesting.
9. Nebraska: The Cornhuskers were one tick of the clock away from winning the Big 12 championship a couple of years ahead of schedule. And I'll be surprised if Nebraska doesn't win the Big 12 North again. Of course, Nebraska will be great on defense, even without No. 2 pick Ndamukong Suh. The concern once more is on offense where the Cornhuskers must get more production out of the quarterback position. 2009 starter Zac Lee played with a torn tendon in his right arm, which was repaired in the spring.
10. North Carolina: The Tar Heels had the No. 1 defense in the ACC last season and with nine starters returning should finish there again. The issue is at quarterback were T.J. Yates needs to have a good senior season if North Carolina is going to win its first ACC championship since 1980. Butch Davis has been building for four years. This is the year his recruiting should pay off.
11. Wisconsin: Running back John Clay, who led the Big Ten in rushing with 1,517 yards, sat out the spring while recovering from ankle surgery. He doesn't need the practice. He'll combine with returning QB Scott Tolzien (2,705 passing) to give the Badgers a very good offense. Ten starters on offense and six on defense return.
12. Oklahoma: The Sooners saw a lot of talent walk out the door in the NFL Draft (three of the first six picks played at Oklahoma, which had four first-round picks). So why did Oklahoma go 8-5? Simple: No. 1 pick, QB Sam Bradford, barely got on the field due to a shoulder injury in the first game. Tight end Jermaine Gresham missed the whole season and OT Trent Williams had to play out of position due to injuries. Now Landry Jones takes over quarterback and RB DeMarco Murray, a 1,000-yard rusher in 2008, is set to have monster season in 2010.
13. Pittsburgh: No mystery here. The Panthers will give the ball to sophomore RB Dion Lewis, who ran for 1,799 yards on 325 carries (only Stanford's Toby Gerhart had more with 345). Lewis is the nation's leading returning rusher and will get into the mix for the Heisman. There are a lot of starters to replace (six on offense, seven on defense) but I'm picking Pittsburgh to win the Big East.
14. Florida State: For the first time since 1975 somebody other than Bobby Bowden will walk the sidelines as head coach in Tallahassee. That job now falls to Jimbo Fisher and with a veteran offensive line and a Heisman Trophy candidate at quarterback (Christian Ponder), I'm picking Florida State to win ACC Atlantic. The key to success will be the ability of new DC Mark Stoops to rebuild a defense that finished last in the ACC in 2009.
15. Georgia Tech: The defending ACC champions had four players drafted (RB Jonathan Dwyer, WR Demaryius Thomas, DE Derrick Morgan, S Morgan Burnett) but should contend for another conference title if Al Groh's 3-4 defense rounds into shape. The schedule, however, includes trips to Kansas, Clemson, Virginia Tech, and Georgia.
16. Arkansas: Quarterback Ryan Mallett had a very good first year (3,624 passing, 30 TD) in his first year in Bobby Petrino's offensive system. He had no contact in the spring as he recovered from foot surgery. If the Hogs can improve just a little on defense (they finished last in the SEC in 2009) then they have a chance to give Alabama a run in the SEC West. The Crimson Tide goes to Fayetteville on Sept. 25.
17. Virginia Tech: With the last two ACC rookies of the year (Darren Evans, Ryan Williams) at tailback and with senior Tyrod Taylor at quarterback, this will be Virginia Tech's best offense since Michael Vick led the Hokies to the 1999 national championship game. A lot of people have the Hokies winning the ACC and in the mix for the BCS championship. I think there are too many holes on defense and a back loaded schedule. Let's visit again about Virginia Tech after a Sept. 6 game with Boise State.
18. Oregon State: When is Mike Riley going to get the credit for being a really good coach? The Beavers return 15 starters from an 8-5 team including TB Jacquizz Rodgers, the Pac-10's leading rusher (1,440 yards) and wide receiver James Rodgers, who led the conference in receiving yards (1,034). Sophomore Ryan Katz has to replace QB Sean Canfield. Oregon comes to Oregon State on Dec. 4 for the annual Civil War, and the Pac-10 title could be on the line.
19. Stanford: The Cardinal will certainly miss Toby Gerhart, who led the nation in rushing yards (1,871 in 13 games). But sophomore quarterback Andrew Luck (2,595 yards, 13 TD) is more than ready to take a larger role in the offense. The key is the improvement of a defense that returns seven starters from a unit that finished ninth in the Pac-10 (402.69 ypg). The Cardinal switched to a 3-4 scheme looking for better results.
20. Miami: I love the number of athletes on this team and the way that QB Jacory Harris leads the Hurricanes when he's healthy. That's one of the keys. The offensive line, which gave up 35 quarterback sacks last season, has to protect Harris better. The defense, coach Randy Shannon said, has to get nastier and force more turnovers than the 21 it got last season. Some people tell me that Miami is set for a breakout season in the fourth year under Shannon. We'll see.
21. Georgia: If a veteran offensive line can be good from Day 1, then Georgia has a chance to improve on its 8-5 record from a year ago. The key is Georgia's ability to run the ball with Caleb King and Washaun Ealey and thus keep the pressure off redshirt freshman quarterback Aaron Murray. If Murray is put in too many third and long situations, then Georgia will have problems. The defense must, must be better than the unit that recovered only two fumbles and gave up 25 touchdown passes last season.
22. Clemson: The Tigers got to ACC championship game last season and if quarterback Kyle Parker passes on minor league baseball and returns, Clemson should challenge Florida State in the ACC Atlantic. Clemson will certainly miss RB/KR C.J. Spiller but there is still a lot of talent on offense with running backs like Jamie Harper and Andre Ellington. The defense is deeper and more athletic than a year ago.
23. Penn State: The Nittany Lions ended Spring practice still unsure who was going to replace Daryll Clark at quarterback. It could be freshman Paul Jones. There is much work to do on the offensive line but the real concerns should be on defense, where NFL draft choices DT Jared Odrick and linebackers Navarro Bowman and Sean Lee are gone. After spring ball Coach Joe Paterno called his team "average." That means I probably should have Penn State ranked higher.
24. Oklahoma State: I made this pick because of my "Talkin' Football" buddy Brady Ackerman. There is no way the Cowboys should be ranked after losing WR Dez Bryant and QB Zac Robinson. Only four starters return on each side of the ball. But one of the starters returning on offense is RB Kendall Hunter, who ran for 1,555 yards as a sophomore but was limited to only 89 carries last season due to injury. But new offensive coordinator Dana Holgorsen comes over from Houston, where Case Keenum lit up the scoreboard last season (5,671 yards, 44 TD). Will Weeden becomes the QB and will get a chance to put up some big numbers.
25. Navy: I have a soft spot in my heart for the Middies because you have to be impressed that the program that Paul Johnson built has just kept on trucking under his successor, Ken Niumatalolo. I also have a soft spot in my heart for quarterback Ricky Dobbs (Douglasville, Ga.) who is now a senior. Last season Dobbs rushed for 1,192 yards (plus an NCAA record 27 touchdowns) despite playing with a broken kneecap the last six games. He also threw for 1,031 yards. Navy was 10-4 last season and won its seventh straight Commander-in-Chief's trophy.

Thanks Tony for recognizing Navy! Service academy football is the purest form and they will never play prominent roles as in yesteryear, but they are recruiting more quality players as the economy tanks and their records improve. No one gave Navy much of a chance in the Texas Bowl and look what happened. In fact the score should have been 52-10 were it not for 2 costly fumbles near the goaline.

You gotta understand. Auburn was screwed in 04. Auburn beat more ranked teams than Oklahomo and USC combined. Their schedule was tougher and set several records that year.
Where is Matt Leinhart the greatest ever qb? Oh yeah, he's the third string qb for Arizona. What's even funnier is that Arizona has 2-3 04 Auburn players starting on defense.

All I know is that there have been some posters that have said that we've never (not qualifying it with bowl games) beaten an SEC team.
Also, it will be all the better when we do finally beat a SEC team in the NC game.
May 7th, 2010
4:49 pm
I would like to correct one misconception common on SEC blogs. USC doesn't schedule OOC games to make up for PAC-10 teams. We play every other PAC-10 team every year. We have never played a Div 1AA football opponent. We have always scheduled the best completion we can; including Home and Home series against Bear's Tide back in the 70's, Auburn in the 00's, and most recently Ohio State. We schedule these to help RECRUITING. The exposure we get playing across the county let's us recruit in 50 states. Look at this year; we recruited 5 star players from the South (Georgia) and the Midwest (Illinois), and Minnesota.

You're preaching to the choir. I agree Auburn was screwed. I remember it well.

Forrest gump,
No sir. Check AU's ooc schedule in 2004 it was pathetically horrible. To say AU beat more top 25 teams than USC and OU combined? Not sure about that considering OU played Texas, Bowling Green which was 23rd, then the rest of the big 12 schedule, and also TCU I think which has been good for awhile. Find it hard to believe they beat more ranked teams than both USC and OU combined. AU had a great year but I seriously doubt they could have beaten USC. JMHO of course.

I believe you are actually right on the money with this being a PRE-SEASON(POST SPRING) Poll.
As hard as it for some people to believe …their teams will undergo many changes between now and the beginning of the season….. those are facts…..every team will experience injuries, departures, suspensions, etc….
The problem people have now in ranking their teams is they think that incoming freshment will contribute with great success….doubtful…..
Georgia will be average..to Decent,
LSU will be fair to decent…
Auburn will be better…but not Good
GT will be somewhat less than in 09
Fl. will be okay but not as good as 09
SC will be better than in 09
FSU can only get better…
Ole Miss gets worse
N.C. will be better than in 09 due to better players….
Do not overestimate your team and do not underestimate your opponents….
Take one week at a time and hope and pray injuries do not ravish your program..
In the case of UGA….hope for no more arrest..

I will always respect USC because they have always played a tougher schedule. Laugh as you may you never see USC playing directional La schools. Their noncon usually has an Ohio State or bcs member and then somebody respectable like a fresno state and usually another but lesser bcs conference member like a UVA. And to date I have never ever seen USC play a double aa team. A typical 12 game schedule for USC would be 9 pac 10 games, ND, Ohio state, and somebody like Fresno State or a team like UVA. Go back and look at their schedules every year and you will see what I mean.

All that being said, I hope Kiffin gets his a$$ kicked every time he puts his team on the field.

The San Francisco Giants were swept in their 3 game set with the Atlanta Braves at AT&T Park. For more discussion on the Black & Orange, head over to our Giants blog, McCovey Chronicles, to get in on the action.
Like us to subscribe
After the San Francisco Giants put up a 7 spot on the Atlanta Braves' Jairo Asensio in the seventh inning of today's game, I was sure the 'magic inside' was going to brew up another win. But, that was last year, this is this year. And this year, all I've got is a big question mark.
They've been hitting all right, but haven't been coming through in the field much. The pitching has been decent, but not when they really need it. And whenever the Giants add an L to the schedule the phrase 'shot themselves in the foot' has popped up in my mind more than I'd like to remember. Is that a good thing or a bad thing though? Are these Giants really much different from last year? These questions simply lead me to more questions.
But after watching the starting and relieving pitchers struggle and the Giants hitters having relatively little success against the Braves this weekend, all I can do is ponder more questions.
Giants Pitcher of the Series: Jonathan Sanchez- The Sanchize didn't have a long outing today, but considering the circumstances, it was a great one. Sanchez went for 5 innings, allowing 2 hits, 2 runs, 3 walks and 5 strikeouts after having to get intravenous fluids Saturday and Sunday due to dehydration from the flu. He kept the Giants in the game, more than they could have asked from him today. Really gutsy performance from Sanchez.
Giants Hitter of the Series: Pat Burrell- Pat the Bat had been slumping a bit, but was 6-9 this series with 3 runs, an RBI, and a double. He seemed to be in a all or nothing funk with his 5 homers already, but came up with a lots of hits this series to raise his average to .270 for the year.
Upcoming Schedule: The Giants are off for the East Coast as they embark on a 10 game road trip, with their first stop in the Steel City with the Pittsburgh Pirates. Matt Cain will take on Charlie Morton in the first game, but according to the San Jose Mercury News' Andrew Baggarly they next two starters are 'undecided' for the G-Men. Bochy's got something cooking up in that oversize noggin of his…
For more discussion and analysis of the Black and Orange, head over to McCovey Chronicles to get your fix.
It was a crazy afternoon at AT&T Park as the San Francisco Giants found themselves in an back-and-forth battle with the Atlanta Braves on the shores of McCovey Cove. Both teams traded blows, got into each other's bullpens, and had themselves an old-fashioned dogfight down to the last pitch. Unfortunately for the home team, the Braves were all over Brian Wilson, and completed the sweep by a score of 9-6.
Chipper Jones started it off with a 2 RBI ground rule double in the first, followed by a two run Buster Posey homer in the fourth. Not to be outdone, Jason Heyward came back with a 3 run homer in the 7th, followed by a 4 run 7th by the Giants. Miguel Tejada started it off with a bases loaded walk, then a RBI groundout by Nate Schierholtz. Then a 2 RBI double by Aaron Rowand, who had been 0-9 for the series prior, gave the Giants back the lead. Dan Uggla came up in the 8th, and blasted a tying home run into the left field bleachers, forcing extra innings. Nate Mclouth hit a 2 RBI single with the bases loaded in the 10th, followed by a Brian McCann RBI single to make get to the final score of 9-6, all off of Brian Wilson (L 0-1) who pitched both the 9th and 10th innings.
Jonathan Sanchez, who had been battling the flu all week, had a decent start going 5 innings with 2 hits, 2 runs, 3 walks, and 5 strikeouts. Jeremy Affeldt was roughed up in his inning of work, allowing the 3 run jack by Heyward after walking two, Sergio Romo faced only Dan Uggla in the 8th, yielding a homer, while Guillermo Mota and Javier Lopez had perfect innings of work.
The Braves Brandon Beachy lasted for 6 full innings, allowing 3 hits, 2 runs, no walks, and 7 strikeouts. Releiver Jairo Asencio was whom the Giants roughed up in the 7th with 4 runs and 4 hits, but the rest of their bullpen was stellar this afternoon as Eric O'Flaherty got the win (W 1-1) and Johnny Venters notched his first save of the year.
With the loss the Giants fall under .500 to 10-11. Full box score can be found here.
The Giants have an off day tomorrow, and then are off to Pittsburgh to take on the Pirates for a 3 game set at PNC Park. Matt Cain (2-1 3.42 ERA) will square off with the Pirates Charlie Morton (2-1 3.33 ERA) for the series opener on Tuesday, with first pitch scheduled for 4:05 PT.
The San Francisco Giants have had back-to-back shaky starts from their starting pitchers against the Atlanta Braves this weekend, and now will have to rely on a somewhat ill Jonathan Sanchez to avoid being swept at home.
Sanchez (2-1 3.13 ERA) has been battling the flu over the past few days but will still be looking for his third quality start in a row today. The Giants offense has been seriously struggling, not scoring more than 2 runs in any of their past three games, so a quality start from the Sanchize is almost a must. He's got a 1-2 record with a 5.55 ERA in eight career appearances against Atlanta, which hopefully he will improve on today. Now it's up to the Giants offense to respond with some clutch hits.
As for the Braves, they hand it over to right-hander Brandon Beachy (1-1 3.86 ERA) in an attempt to finish out the series sweep for Atlanta. Beachy pitched 6 scoreless against the Dodgers in his last start, earning his first win of 2011, and will be shooting for a repeat performance at AT&T this afternoon.
at 10-10 for the season, San Francisco needs to get themselves a win before they embark on a 10 game road trip with stops in the Steel City, the Nation's Capital, and the Big Apple.
First pitch is scheduled for 1:05 PT this afternoon, and will be broadcast of CSN Bay Area, KNBR 680 AM, KIQI, and KATD 990 AM.

The San Francisco Giants found themselves amidst a pitchers duel this afternoon, usually a good thing with their ace on the mound. But unfortunately for the G-Men, Tim Lincecum was the second best Tim pitching this afternoon. The former Oakland A and current Atlanta Brave Tim Hudson was stellar on the mound as he led the Braves to a 5-2 victory at AT&T Park this afternoon.
Tim Lincecum (L 2-2) didn't have his usual sharpness on the mound today, finishing with 6.1 innings pitched, 6 hits, 5 earned runs, 6 strikeouts, and a career high 6 walks. His 110 pitches consisted of only 62 strikes, and I get the sense he wasn't on the same page as Eli Whiteside, playing today in place of the resting Buster Posey.
The Giants offense was held in check for the second straight game by the Braves, as their lone run came from a Cody Ross single in the 2nd. It was Cody's first RBI and hit of the season, finishing the day 2-4; a silver lining in the dark cloud that was today's game. Pat Burrell was 3-4 with a two doubles and a single, Miguel Tejada had an RBI sac fly, while Timmy gave himself a batting average for the year with a single today as well.
Tim Hudson (W 3-2) was locked in on the mound today, and was one out away from his 24th career complete game. He finished with 9 hits, 2 runs, no walks, and 4 strikeouts. Craig Kimbrel got his 6th save of the year.
Martin Prado had 3 of the Braves 5 RBI this afternoon, going 2-3 with two doubles. Brian McCann accounted for the other two RBI with a single in the 7th, finishing the day 1-5. Jason Heyward was 2-3 with two walks as well.
With the loss it moves the Giants to 10-10 on the season. Full box score can be found here.
The Giants will look to avoid being swept at home tomorrow as lefty Jonathan Sanchez (2-1 3.13 ERA) will take on right-hander Brandon Beachy (1-1 3.86 ERA) for the Braves. First pitch is set for 1:05 PT and can be seen on CSN Bay Area and heard on KNBR 680 AM.

The San Francisco Giants and Atlanta Braves have their lineups set and are ready to duke it out on the shores of McCovey Cove this afternoon. Buster Posey will get his second day off of the year as veteran backup Eli Whiteside will get the start behind the dish for Tim Lincecum today. Buster's been bustin' his tail off and I'm sure has some heavy legs, and should be back in the lineup tomorrow.
In a bit of injury news the San Jose Mercury News' Daniel Brown reported that skipper Bruce Bochy is not too optimistic about Andres Torres returning from the DL this Tuesday, saying that "he's made progress…[but] he still has to check off a couple of boxes." The Giants need him at full speed, so no point in rushing his return.
Reliever Santiago Casilla threw about 20 pitches off the mound before last night's game, and is making progress with his 'cranky' elbow. He'll have a rehab assignment soon and looks on track to return in early/mid May, according to the San Francisco Chronicle.

Tommy Hanson and the Atlanta Braves made sure the San Francisco Giants short home stand got off to sour start last night, taking out the defending champs 4-1. Now the Giants will send out their ace Tim Lincecum (2-1 1.67 ERA) to face the Braves Tim Hudson (2-2 4.05 ERA) looking to return the favor.
The G-Men have won their last four series after their 1-4 start against the Dodgers opening weekend, and will have to take the next two to extend that streak to 5 against the Braves. The Giants were swinging the lumber in those series, hitting 12 home runs over their last eight games. Their bats remained silent for the most part last night, but hopefully will send a souvenir or two out to the cheap seats this afternoon.
Timmy's been off to a great start, and loves facing the Braves. In his 8 previous starts against them he is 6-2 with a 2.89 ERA. Not to mention his 14 strikeout, 2 hitter he threw against them to start the NLDS last fall. Let's hope he's on his A game today, beacuse when he is, the Braves usually aren't.
First pitch is scheduled for 1:10 PT and can be seen on the FOX network and heard on KNBR 680 AM, KIQI, and KATD 990.

With the San Francisco Giants back home for the weekend, the Bay was looking for some good pitching from Madison Bumgarner and some of big innings with the lumber tonight. Unfortunately, they didn't get much of either as Bummy left early and the offense stayed quiet as the Atlanta Braves beat the Giants by a score of 4-1 tonight.
Bumgarner (L 0-3) lasted for a mere 2.2 innings tonight, giving up 4 runs on 4 hits with 2 walks and 2 strikeouts. Home umpire Derryl Cousins seemed to be squeezing Bummy a little bit as he wasn't getting some pitches called strikes. Obviously frustrated on the mound, skipper Bruce Bochy thought it best to yank the kid earlier than later this evening. Ryan Vogelsong made a scoreless 3.1 inning relief appearance, as did Guillermo Mota, Dan Runzler, and Sergio Romo for an inning apiece.
The Giants offense consisted of a Pat Burrell RBI groundout in the 7th, and nothing more. Pat the bat had a single as well, bumping his average up to a whopping .214 for the season, while Miguel Tejada's single bumped his average to .209. Cody Ross remained hitless in his first two games thus far, but Pablo Sandoval stayed hot, ripping a double in the 7th.
The Braves Tommy Hanson (W 2-3) was on his game tonight, going for 7 full innings allowing only 3 hits, 1 run, 1 walk, and seven strikeouts. He was very impressive in his best outing of the season thus far, as was young Johnny Venters in his perfect inning of work and Craig Kimbrel who picked up his 5th save of the season.
The Braves did all of their damage against Bumgarner in the 3rd as a Jason Heyward RBI single, a 2 RBI Chipper Jones double, and a Freddie Freeman RBI single were enough to seal the G-Men's fate.
With the loss it moves the Giants to 10-9 for the season, 3 games behind Colorado in the NL West. Full box score can be found here.
Saturday may turn into a pitchers duel as Tim Lincecum (2-1 1.67 ERA) squares off with the Braves Tim Hudson (2-2 4.05 ERA). First pitch is scheduled for 1:10 PT and can be found on the FOX network or KNBR 680 AM.

The San Francisco Giants will be looking to keep the good times rolling as they host the Atlanta Braves for a three game set this weekend. Winners of the last two series, the Giants will have their first 'orange Friday' of the year tonight, wearing their throwback orange jerseys that were ever so popular last season.
Pablo Sandoval is back in the lineup tonight after suffering a triceps strain in his right arm during BP in Denver a few days ago. The injury was never really significant and the powers that be felt that giving him a few days off was all that was necessary. He currently is leading the team in OBP (.400) and tied for the lead in home runs (5).

The San Francisco Giants have been out on the road for their last two series, attempting to make some moves in the standings. Well, they went 4-2 against their divisional foes the Arizona Diamondbacks and Colorado Rockies, and currently reside 3 games back of Colorado in the NL West. As for the Rockies, they've taken their 13-5 record to Florida to face the Marlins, though the Rocks have a 7-1 record away from home so far this season.
Matt Kemp hit a walk off homer yesterday to bring the Los Angeles Dodgers to .500 for the season at 10-10, while the Diamondbacks just took 2 out of three from the Cincinnati Reds in the Queen City to move to 8-9, 4.5 games behind the Rockies. The San Diego Padres haven't exactly had the same start that they did last year as they've gone from first at this point last season to worst in the division this season at 8-11. They began a four game set with the Philadelphia Phillies yesterday, losing 3-0.
As for the wild card, the G-Men currently sit 1.5 games behind the Marlins for first place. The Reds and the Cubs are nipping at the Giants heels at 2 and 2.5 games behind respectfully, with the Brewers, Dodgers, and Nationals bunched up behind them. There's obviously lots of time left in the season for the Giants to get to where they want to go, and if they keep taking 2 out of 3 games a series that definitely will help. Hopefully San Francisco can keep it up as they host the Braves at AT&T this weekend.

Well, the San Francisco Giants failed to sweep the Diamondbacks, and then they failed to sweep the Rockies, but that's still two series wins in a row right there, so they're coming into this three-game set against the Atlanta Braves with a little momentum, while the latter just got beat three games to one in a four game set against the Los Angeles Dodgers. So the Giants should hold the edge when it comes to intangibles like that, if you happen to believe in them, you know.
Madison Bumgarner will take the mound for San Francisco, after Barry Zito was placed on the disabled list, his turn is skipped. Bumgarner has not had a good season thus far, going 0-2 with a 7.36 earned run average in three starts. His most recent outing was a no-decision in Arizona in which he allowed four runs off of eight hits over 6 2/3 innings, his longest outing of the season so far.
Bumgarner does have a win against the Braves though, in his only prior outing he beat them in game four of the NLDS, giving up two runs in six innings while striking out five. It was a very solid outing, one of them that gave Giants fans a lot of hope for Bumgarner, but he really needs to make it past this hump at the beginning of the season.
Tommy Hanson will take the mound for the Braves, and he's not having a good start to his 2011 campaign either. He's 1-3 with a 3.86 ERA, but has looked at least above-average at times, while Bumgarner is almost unanimously struggling. Hanson pitched five innings in his last outing, giving up five hits and three runs, while striking out an impressive nine batters. His only win on the season came a game prior, where he seven scoreless innings of four-hit ball while fanning five batters.
Cody Ross returned to the lineup for the Giants in game three against the Rockies, but he was 0-4 in his season debut. The Giants will be hoping for more production out of him, and they'll also be hoping that Pablo Sandoval, currently batting a .328 with five homeruns on the season, returns to the lineup and is healthy to support Bumgarner's efforts on the mound.
It was a strong three-game set for the San Francisco Giants when they took on the Colorado Rockies. They made a statement to the NL West-leading foes by taking two of three in dominating fashion, though their propensity to lose game threes that are potential sweeps is somewhat maddening and a cause for concern. It did seem like everything was working for them in the series, though. Tim Lincecum, Jonathan Sanchez, and even Matt Cain in a losing effort, all of them were solid and had run support (except for Cain, imagine that) from guys like Freddy Sanchez and Pablo Sandoval.
The Giants sent the top of their pitching rotation out against the Rockies, so the bottom two of the five would normally be up when they host the Atlanta Braves for a three-game set (before departing on a ten-game road trip), but Barry Zito's injury and placement on the disabled list really mucks things up a bit. Instead, San Francisco has simply elected to skip his turn and put Madison Bumgarner in there in game one on Friday, with Lincecum and Sanchez rounding out games two and three.
Atlanta is finishing up a disappointing four-game set against the Los Angeles Dodgers, in which they've lost 4-2, 6-1, and 5-3, respectively - but did pick up a 10-1 win in game two. They're on a ten-game road trip which will take them to San Diego to face the Padres after the three-game set in San Francisco.
They're inconsistent, and the Giants need to do what they can to capitalize on that. Madison Bumgarner is looking for his first win, while Lincecum and Sanchez will be looking to build on what they were able to do prior. This isn't some huge test for the Giants with a ton of significance, but they just want to establish some form of consistency after the rocky start.

Five research teams made up predominantly of Old Dominion University faculty members will share nearly $400,000 in One-Time Multidisciplinary Seed Funding grants for 2006 from the ODU Office of Research. Topics of the funded research will range from health disparities in Hampton Roads to development of a virtual operating room.
Mohammad Karim, ODU vice president for research, said the five successful applications were among 27 funding proposals involving 113 ODU faculty investigators. "Our faculty researchers have responded to our solicitation of white papers by presenting us with many great and fine ideas. I wish we could have funded more of these projects," Karim said.
This seed funding initiative reflects a major investment to cultivate research programs at ODU. The goal is to support projects that are relevant to instructional research priorities, are multidisciplinary and can produce immediate impact, and can build thematic teams with prospects to attract additional and new research dollars.
"We hope that the teams will now gather enough momentum, collect enough seed data, and then aggressively go after federal agencies to bring in additional research support," Karim said.
The winning teams are composed of 18 ODU faculty members, seven from Eastern Virginia Medical School (EVMS), and one Navy researcher. Non-ODU researchers are noted. Grants went to:
"Health Matters: Determinants of Health Disparities in Hampton Roads" -- $92,000 to Joshua G. Behr, assistant professor of political science and geography; Cmdr. John B. Baccus (Navy); Aaron I. Vinik (EVMS); Margaret Camarena, director, Social Science Research Center; Stacey Plichta, associate professor of community and environmental health; James Alan Neff, associate dean of research and professor, College of Health Sciences; and Harry J. Tillman, assistant professor of nursing.
"A Prototype of the Human Virus Interactome Resource (HVIR)"-- $95,000 to Alex Pothen and Mohammad Zubair, professors of computer science, and Kurt Maly, chair, professor and eminent scholar of computer science; Chris Osgood, associate professor of biological sciences; and Oliver John Semmes (EVMS).
"Effective Sensor Technology and Development for Biodefense" -- $38,000 to Ariel Pinto, assistant professor of engineering management and systems engineering; and Gavin Welch, Richard Drake and Michael Bono (EVMS).
"Virtual Operating Room" -- $95,000 to Mark W. Scerbo, professor of psychology; Lee A. Belfore, associate professor of electrical and computer engineering; Hector M. Garcia, visualization lab manager, Virginia Modeling, Analysis and Simulation Center East; Michael Jackson, director, nurse anesthesia program, School of Nursing; and Leonard, J. Weireter, Jr. (EVMS).
"Establishment of Environmental Public Health Tracking System in Virginia" -- $80,000 to H. Anna Jeng, assistant professor of community and environmental health; Tom Allen, associate professor of political science and geography; Ling Li, associate professor of information technology and decision sciences; Dayanand Naik, professor of mathematics and statistics; and Maria Frontini (EVMS).
Karim said the selection of teams was based on the qualifications of the principal investigators, problem uniqueness, multidisciplinary breadth, infrastructure availability, funding homework, budget reasonability, and future funding prospects. The funded projects will be completed by June 2006.

text: \o7 There was much hope: cops and robbers racing in circles on flat, splayed feet, a white efflorescence, lush puffs of butter and salt. It was a strut down Main Street doing the Lambeth Walk, the Fox Trot, the Lindy Hop, the Conga for Madame La Zonga--tops of thighs long and limber over the cool silk run, a widely paneled vestibule furnished with swinging divans for chirpings after the ball, butter-brickle ice cream cones, strings of beads, a party line. After proms and flaming crepe suzettes it was--it is--nostalgia time. The price of all this fun? Someone holding someone at the mercy, unshelling the turtle, cringing the dog. Someone two in the kitchen, watering and salting the bouillabaisse, fingertips red with scorch, the jangled horn of our terminal cab coming to take us away from this abyss of bliss--the heart a plucked chicken clucking softly, "This is it. This is it."

Note: This is a press release issued by The Perry Group on behalf of FM Global.
For the sixth straight year, Fitch Ratings has affirmed the 'AA' (Very Strong) financial strength rating and 'Stable' rating outlook for FM Global, the global commercial property insurer headquartered in Johnston.
According to Fitch: "the ratings continue to reflect FM Global's strong capital and long-term underwriting profitability, competitive advantages derived from the company's engineering expertise and global presence in specialty commercial property insurance markets, as well as benefits drawn from the company's mutual company status." The ratings apply to members of the FM Global group, including Affiliated FM Insurance Company and FM Insurance Company Limited.
The ratings company remarked: "Fitch believes FM Global's favorable long-term underwriting performance is due in large part to the company's ability to incorporate its engineering expertise into its risk selection and underwriting processes." Fitch added that it "views the company's engineering capabilities and loss prevention services as key advantages that are difficult for competitors to replicate and believes this expertise will result in underwriting results that are consistently better than peers."
Fitch previously made a similar announcement on Sept. 29, 2011.

Father and son Erion and Fred Gjysma have brought their own spin on the Chicago-Style pizza to Shelby Township.
The father and son duo opened Fred's Pizza on 24 and Hayes less than a month ago. Headlining the new pizzeria is their infamous two-layered "Chicago-style stuffed" pizza.
"It has three times the amount of cheese that a normal pizza has," said Erion Gjysma.
Erion Gjysma said he didn't want to copy traditional Chicago-Style pizza.
"We wanted to make it our own."
And, make it their own they did. Fred's Chicago-style stuffed pizza was inspired by their homeland – Albania.
"Byrek" is a stuffed pie that is very popular in Eastern European cuisine, said Erion Gjysma. However, the dough used in Byrek is softer and flakier.
The father and son told Patch that Albanians who settled in southern Italy in the 15th century were the first to create deep dish pizzas.
"They were probably trying to recreate Byrek using the ingredients available," said Erion Gjysma.
The Gjysma's opened their first Fred's Pizza location in Fraser in 2006, after working in the Italian restaurant industry for years. While working as a sous chef at Rosebud's in Shelby Township and Andiamo's, Erion Gjysma said he mastered Italian cuisine and now serves a variety of homemade pastas at the pizzeria. In addition, Fred's Pizza serves, wings, salads and ribs.
All Roads Lead to Shelby
For years, Erion Gjysma said he has been shopping pizzeria locations in Shelby Township because he lives in Macomb Township and has always loved the area.
"I think people in the area are looking for quality not quantity," said Erion Gjysma. "So far, we've had nothing but compliments and repeat customers."
The new pizzeria has employed six Shelby Township residents, mostly high school students.
"I like to hire kids from the local high schools so I can motivate them and teach them good work ethics," said Erion Gjysma.
Fred's Pizza is open for lunch and dinner Thursday through Sunday and only in the afternoon Monday-Thursday. For more information, visit www.fredspizzapie.com.

BOSS DR-110 Dr. Rhythm Graphic
In 1980, Roland introduced their first simple and affordable drum machine to bear the BOSS Dr. Rhythm brand (the DR-55), offering four sounds, an Accent and a limited number of programmable patterns. It was followed by the Dr. Rhythm Graphic (DR-110) in 1983, which offers a wider selection of sounds, preset patterns, an increased number of programmable patterns and the ability to chain patterns together to form songs. The simple step programming of the first Dr. Rhythm, with alternating button presses for notes and rests, is augmented by an LCD with a grid showing the individual notes in the current pattern. In addition to step programming there is also a "tap write" programming mode, albeit without a metronome click for timekeeping.
The sounds are Kick, Snare, Closed Hi-Hat, Open Hi-Hat, Cymbal and Clap. The sounds are totally analog, and sound crisp and punchy, thanks to tone generation circuitry that is more sophisticated than the Roland TR-606 Drumatix. A balance knob alters the level of the Kick, Snare and Clap relative to the other sounds, while an accent knob controls the amount of emphasis applied to accented steps. There is also a volume knob, which controls the overall level of both the main and headphone outputs. The main output is mono, but has an unusual feature whereby plugging in a suitable wired lead with a stereo jack plug allows for the feeding in of another signal to be mixed with the drum sounds. Another socket provides for a trigger signal, emitting a pulse for every accented step in a pattern.
The patterns are organized into four banks of eight patterns each. Banks C and D are the presets, while banks A and B are programmable. Each pattern can be switched between 12 or 16 steps, for a 3/4 or 4/4 time signature. Two songs can be programmed, each containing a maximum of 128 bars.
At the time of writing, the Dr. Rhythm Graphic is relatively affordable compared to similar machines such as the Roland TR-606 Drumatix, and are usually found in good condition thanks to the padded carry case that they came with. On the downside, there are no outputs or tone controls for the individual sounds, but a number of well documented modifications can be found on the Internet that add these features.

The DR110 clap is excellent, as are the hats. The kick and snare are certainly meatier that a lot of similar analogue drum boxes of the era, but you wouldn't sell your 808 for them. The DR110 is pretty easy to mod though.
For me, the compact size and battery operation were the big selling features.I like to keep a couple small music toys in my bag wherever I go and the DR-110 seemed like a nice compliment to my SK-1 and trio of Monotrons. So far, it hasn't disappointed.
My only complaint is the lack of any kind of sync. I think I'm going to buy and install the DIN kit that's out there. It'd be nice If I could also add individual triggers for each sound but I think that might be pushing it.

My RSC
You are here:
It's amazing to think that in the 1600s, when you called someone a scholar, then that person was assumed to be an expert on many different subjects.
The men who translated the King James Bible into English knew on average five or six languages, if not more.
Galileo Galilei was known to be one of the greatest minds of his time. He knew a lot about many things – mathematics, astronomy, engineering.
Time is a beautiful thing and a great healer but it does tend to narrow things sometimes. When we talk of an 'expert' today, we assume that they are very very good at one specific field and even one specific thing within that field.
It's rare to find someone who is able to float in and out of their subject matter with ease and still retain that expertise. It's rare to find someone whose field of study doesn't restrict their great intellect to that field alone. So it was with the greatest pleasure that we spent the afternoon with Dr Stuart Clark: astronomer, physicist, journalist, author etc.
We spent the most amazing afternoon listening to him talk about the phases of the moon, the Ptolmeic system, the Copernican system, relativity, floating bodies, telescopes, Kepler, mathematics, sun spots, sun flares, Brecht, Shakespeare – the list goes on.
Not only was he bright but he understood and appreciated the value of storytelling. And while that serves him well with the novels he writes, I found it served him well when imparting his knowledge to a room full of actors.
He mentioned how 'switched on' we all were, but that was because of him! Great teachers do that. Their personality shines through everything they say and that allows the listener, if the listener is willing, to absorb every last bit of information without doubt or fear or guilt – true learning.
In today's Powerpoint classroom we seem to have lost that. Maybe it's because of today's Powerpoint government and their crusade to identify the limits of our intellect and keep us there.
Maybe that's why the arts are getting slashed the way they are? Maybe that's what Brecht was on about?
Maybe that's how Galileo felt when the government of the day wouldn't even acknowledge the proof he had discovered. After all, Galileo asserted that the Earth revolved around the sun circa 1610. The Vatican acknowledged he was right on 1 November 1992.

IRVING, Texas (AP) Retail gasoline prices across Texas have dropped by an average of 2 cents this week to $3.10 per gallon.
AAA Texas on Thursday reported the statewide figure compares to a national average of $3.29, which dropped by a penny from last week.
The most expensive gasoline statewide was in El Paso at $3.15 per gallon. The industry survey found Amarillo continues to have the cheapest price at the pump at $2.97.
AAA says prices in some areas of the country have increased due to extremely cold weather causing refinery issues. Officials say subzero temperatures have also decreased demand for gasoline, which could put some downward pressure on prices.

Dave Dhillon of Lafayette and his biking buddy Ray Diaz were coming down winding Pinehurst Road, toward the end of a 35-mile Skyline-Pinehurst loop, when they came upon the accident scene Sunday afternoon in Canyon.
Under the canopy of redwoods, they braked to a stop where a motorcyclist was lying on the side of Pinehurst Road after a collision with a sedan that came to rest atop a little embankment. The injured motorcyclist was being tended by a couple of other bikers who happened on the scene and the woman who had been driving the sedan, Dhillon said.
The motorcyclist had serious injuries and was transported by helicopter to a hospital in Walnut Creek. "I feel horrible for the motorcyclist and scared 'cause I ride my bicycle on that road often," said Dhillon. "Hope the rider didn't sustain any permanent injuries … the front end of the bike was laying over on the side. The bike was just demolished."
While they were there, a little flame started under the sedan on the embankment. Dhillon and another biker squirted the fire with water bottles. The flames appeared to go out, but about three minutes later another fire broke out and soon the car was engulfed, Dhillon said.
Dhillon said the sedan had come from the uphill side, from the direction of the Canyon School, and the motorcycle came from the downhill side, from the direction of the intersection of Pinehurst and Canyon.
After police and firefighters arrived to tend to the injured motorcyclist, Dhillon and Diaz went on their way. The driver of the sedan was later arrested on suspicion of DUI by CHP, Moraga police reported.

text: But, back to business. I saw Avatar last week, avoided reading any and all reviews and then broke it down for just for you, fair readers. We have never seen anything like Avatar before. James Cameron (Aliens, Titanic) delivers a seamless, rich and all-engrossing 3D experience with CGI that looks and feels completely authentic. The uncanny valley has been conquered and yet Avatar is still just a bloated fantasy movie with a weak script and recycled devices. For once the digital effects are so good that one is left to only dwell on the art direction, story and characters. Uh-oh. Gratuitous use of phosphorescence, problematic otherness, plot holes and general cheesiness keep Avatar from being more than just a corny, uber-fantastical cartoon — a really elaborate, $400 million-plus (including marketing) cartoon that looks nothing like any film or animated feature that has come before it. When a movie looks this good who needs a good story?

No. J2K12-48
This whole Etsy/Pinterest craze is spiralling out of control. Now anyone with access to a gluegun and a sewing machine is basically an indie Martha Stewart.
I present you Exhibit A -- possibly the most overworked DIY baby Jesus Christmas sweater ever to walk down the craft project runway.

At the height of professional roller derby, San Franciscos own Ann Banana-Nose Calvello was known for outlandish makeup, unnatural hair color, and a ferocious temper an obvious role model for the fierce, independent women who now rule the track. Today, the world of roller derby is dominated by all-female teams with an appreciation for DIY ethics and postpunk nomenclature. They drink bad beer and wear good lipstick, earning names such as Taxi Scab, Liza Machete, Kit Turbo, and Demanda Riot while pounding their opponents into submission. The Bay Area boasts three teams: The Oakland Outlaws, S.F. ShEvil Dead, and the Richmond Wrecking Belles, all of whom belong to a skater-owned and -operated league, Bay Area Derby Girls. The B.A.D. Girls are ranked ninth in the Womens Flat Track Derby Association, but it aint cheap. Tonight, they will doff their skates and get down in the muck for B.A.D. Girls Mud Wrestling. Beyond raising money to kick some ass at the WFTDA Regional in Houston, the B.A.D. Girls need to find a permanent location to hold bouts (their June 14 event was cancelled due to code violations at Dry Ice) and they are launching a charitable initiative to provide skates for low-income children.
