Welcome to my first post here on The Smoking Jacket! If you're a college football fan, you're going to enjoy the posts here on the site – so make sure you're checking back often.
Many of you are probably wondering how I come up with the information featured in this article? Each Saturday I have 12 TV's in front of me so I myself have an eye on 12 games but it's possible to miss things happening in 11 others when I'm focusing in on 1. I also have my staff out in the office also watching one individual game on TV and doing totalcasts for as many as 3 others at the same time. They chart each play in the game then I collect the information and dissect EACH AND EVERY FBS game – even when an FBS is playing an FCS (formerly IAA) team.
What makes my News & Notes different from others is that I analyze each and every drive of every single game – giving you information that you WON'T find by glancing at a boxscore and providing an overall feel for how the game was REALLY played. Enjoy!
Let's get it started with…
Week 1 News & Notes
The debut of Russell Wilson was made in the hottest game ever in the 94-year history of Camp Randall Stadium (90˚ at KO). Wilson led the Badgers to 8 scores on 8 poss with 7 of those TD's and the only FG came on a 29 yd'r on 2nd & 3 on the last play of the 1H. Wisconsin led 51-3 when Wilson came out with 8:45 was left in the 3Q. UNLV drove 75/11 and 70/9 for a pair of TD's to get in the backdoor by a half point, the latter TD coming with 11:41 left. UW finished the game at the LV22 taking a knee.
Rutgers was not as impressive as the final indicates vs NC Central and starting QB Dodd engineered 3 scoring drives in the 1H but Rutgers only finished the game with a 347-128 yd edge. Leading 21-0, RU blew it open scoring 2 defensive TD's in a :45 span falling on a fumble in the EZ when DL Vallone fell on a fmbl in the EZ for a TD and 2 plays later Harmon got a 37 yd IR TD to make it 35-0. Backup QB Gary Nova who hit 6-17-97, led the team with a 44 yd TD pass then a 10 yd drive for a 36 yd FG (after fmbl) and a 54/14pl drive for a 22 yd FG with 10:35 left to close out the scoring. NC Central was sacked 9 times and turned it over 4 times.
Toledo alternated their QB's. Danton had the first 3 series and generated a punt, an 11 play drive for a 22 yd FG and a 30/3 TD drive (after int). Owens came in for the next 3 series and got a 45/1 TD pass, engineered 82/7pl TD drive and a 46/11pl drive for a 33 yd FG and UT led 27-0. Danton returned for 3 series and got a 38 yd FG, a 75/9pl drive for a TD and a 63/1pl TD pass and UT led 44-9. Owens came in for 2 series and led a 53/8pl TD drive and a punt and Macon came in and engineered a 38/5pl drive for a TD and a 12 pl drive to run the clock out. UT had leads of 24-0 and 58-15.
Utah jumped out to a 24-0 lead vs Montana St but only had a 16-12 FD edge and 292-258 yd edge. They had an 8 yd TD drive after a 35 yd IR.
Dave Clawson has done a great job at Bowling Green and a great job in openers. This year they were an underdog at Idaho and gave up a TD on the first drive and were SOD at the IU39 on their first drive but BG scored TD's on their next 4 poss followed by a FG and led 30-7 at the half with a 377-179 yd edge. IU pulled within 33-15 with 14:44 left in the game but IU was pinned at their 2 and tackled for a safety and after punting on their next poss, IU fmbl'd at their own 30 & 49 on the final 2. BG finished with a 478-280 yd edge.
FIU only had a 22-17 FD and 401-301 yd edges but NT's 2 TD's both came via the defense. FIU got a 62 yd KR by TY Hilton and drove 29/4pl for a TD then after NT was SOD at the FIU40, got a 60/1pl TD pass to Hilton, 14-0. FIU went 94/10pl for a TD then after a fmbl, 33/2pl for a TD and led 28-0. It was 31-7 at the half with FIU having a 284-100 yd edge. NT did miss 48 and 42 yd FG's in the 3Q and trailed 41-14 and were SOD at the 1 yd line with 1:23 left but got a safety on the next play.
WKU had a 13-11 FD edge vs Kentucky and the D's dominated with 19 punts and just 24 FD's. WKU had a slim 234-190 yd edge. UK's 2 scoring "drives" were a 22 yd TD drive in the 2Q (after an int) to lead 7-3 at the half. UK on 3&14 got a 58 yd run by Newton down to the WKU26 and on 1&15 a 31 yd TD pass with 4:35 left to make it 14-3 and that was the final.
Miss St's offense rolled up 405 yards in the 1H and finished with a school record 645 total yards. Memphis didn't cross midfield until the 2Q. Miss St avg over 9 ypp and finished with a 645-338 yd edge.
Louisville finished the Murray St game with a 159-143 rush yd edge but that was helped by the punt game. They had a 40 yd gain on a fake punt while Murray had a 21 yard "rush" loss on a bad snap over their P's head. That set up a UL TD early and the Cards jumped out to a 21-0 lead and they brought in true frosh Bridgewater in for 1 series. He was int'd at the MSU24 with 6:51 left in the 2Q and UL leading 21-0 and UL would not score again the rest of the game. MSU got a FG in the 2Q and drove 74/13pl for a TD at the start of the 4Q to make it 21-9 but their final poss ended on an int at the 48 with :39 left. MSU had a 19-16 FD edge but UL did have a 385-291 yd edge.
A surprising stat from the Georgia Tech/Western Carolina game was that GT threw for 365 yards. In fact, last year their high passing total for a game was 130 yards and they surpassed that in the 1Q with 148. They did have a couple of short passes go for 82 and 77 yard TD's. GT appeared in control 42-14 and were attempting a 46 yd FG on the final play of the half. WC not only blocked it they returned it 69 yards for a TD to make it 42-21. GT got a 77 yd TD pass with 3:00 left in the 3Q to go up 56-21 then drove 74/15pl for a TD with 7:25 left. WC was int'd at the GT15 and GT was SOD at the WC33 (:53). GT's 662 yards was the 2nd best ever, coming up short of their 706 yards vs Citadel in 1948.
Tough loss for WF vs Syracuse. WF absolutely dominated the 1H with 13-2 FD and 242-52 yd edges but settled for 2 FG's and K Newman who had 14 straight FG's missed a chipshot 34 yarder. SU got a TD on a 37/4pl drive after WF punted from its EZ and stunningly WF only led 20-7 despite complete domination. Each team took its 2nd & 3Q drive for a TD and it was 26-14 but WF missed a crucial xp. The key play of the game happened on WF's next drive. They were at the SU12 when on 3&19 Price fired a FD pass to the 2 but he injured his leg and would miss the rest of the year and a hold wiped out the completion. They settled for a FG to keep SU in the game, 29-14. SU went on 73 and 53 yd TD drives, the latter with 7:07 left to tie it. Backup QB Stachitas threw an int at the WF32 but SU K Krautman had a streak of 16 straight FG's snapped by a blk'd FG with 2:17 left. However, SU won in OT by 7.
Arizona St returnman Jamal Miles was dynamic including a 98 yd KR to open the 3Q as ASU rolled to a 41-0 lead over UC Davis. UCD gained 161 of their 243 yards in the 4Q and on 4&2 with 12:10 left got a 48 yd TD run then on 4&2 got a 38 yd pass to the 1 setting up their backdoor covering TD with 6:26 left in the 48-14 final. ASU did get to the UCD17 but was SOD on 4&4 with :08 left.
Youngstown St last year finished 3-8 but actually led in each and every one of their games showing they were much better than their record indicated. They gave Michigan St a better game than the score indicates at 28-6. In fact, in the 1H YSU had a 14-8 FD edge and held the ball for 19:06. YSU's first drive was 55/12pl but they were SOD on 4&2 at the MSU35. YSU's 2nd drive got to MSU's 33 but a fmbl'd snap on 3rd down put them out of FG range and they punted. YSU's 4th drive went 62/9pl for a TD and they only trailed 7-6. YSU also had a 9pl drive end in a missed 40 yd FG and trailed 14-6 at the half. MSU's final TD was a 17 yd drive after a 13 yd IR and came with 7:09 left to make it 28-6.
It sure was an exciting Friday night game and Baylor's offense was very impressive. TCU has led the nation in defense the L3Y and in their worst game LY they allowed 361 yards. Baylor amassed a surprising 367 yards in the 1H! TCU did miss 2 FG's and 2 xp's in the first 3Q's and trailed 47-23 but charged back within 47-45 with 7:11 left. TCU had their streak of 25 consecutive reg ssn games snapped in this loss. Baylor had not beaten a ranked team since 2004. Last year TCU had beaten BU 45-10. TCU drove for TD's on the next 3 poss and got two 2 pt conv but had the 3rd one go off the WR's hands to trail 47-45. QB Griffin fumbled and TCU took over at the BU39 but settled for a 27 yd FG with 4:27 left. BU then hit a 3&10, 15 yd pass for a FD and continued on a drive to get a 37 yd FG with 1:04 left. TCU got to BU40 but on 3&10 was int'd at the 20 and BU held on for the upset.
The Connecticut game was moved from Thurs to Sat due to the use of their home stadium by Hurricane Irene relief staff. RFr TB Lyle McCombs ran for 141 yards and 4 TD's with 2 in each half. UC used all 3 QB's and they combined to hit 12-21-228 yds. Fordham was 5-6 LY and was playing their first FBS foe since 1954. Fordham just began offering scholarships last year. UC finished with a 21-8 FD and 434-169 yd edges.
Ohio St rolled over Akron with 27-5 FD and 517-90 yd edges and Joe Bauserman not only got the start, but QB'd all but 1 poss in the 1H with Braxton Miller's only poss resulting in a punt. Bauserman led 4 TD drives but Miller, after engineering another punt on his first poss of the 2H, did guide 59/6 and 38/4pl TD drives and his final drive got them to the Akron 15 yd line where they ran out the clock. Bauserman hit 12-16-163 and Miller was 8-12-130 playing with mostly backups in the 2H.
Joe Paterno coached from the pressbox and PSU ret'd the opening KO 95 yards for a TD. PSU dominated the 1H with a 15-2 FD and 252-66 yd edges and led 41-0 when ISU took over with 8:17 left and drove 62/11pl getting a TD with 2:15 left. Bolden got the start but hit just 6-12-37 yards. McGloin hit 6-8-77 yds but McGloin had 4 poss and had 3 TD's on those. Bolden had 6 poss resulting in a TD, FG and a missed FG. Third string QB McGregger did not throw a pass but led a 12 yd TD drive in the 4Q. ISU was QB'd by Washington transfer Ronnie Fouch (PS#55) who was held to 11-23-105.
The defending National Champs Auburn Tigers were generally outplayed at home by upstart Utah St. USU had a 27-17 FD and 448-364 yd edges and twice led by double digits. They led 21-7 before the half when AU benefited from a 97 yd KR TD. At the end of the game, USU scored a TD with just 3:38 left to lead 38-28. AUB got a 3&gl from the 15 TD pass with 2:07 left then recovered an onside kick and got a TD with :31 left to escape with a 4 pt home win.
Boston College was without top RB Montel Harris and Northwestern was without QB Dan Persa. Kain Colter replaced hitting 17-24-197 and ran for 71 more with a TD. BC's top RB was Andre Williams who came in questionable but rushed 22 times for 114 yards. NU trailed 10-3 but tied it 10-10 on a TD with :38 left in the half then opened the 3Q with a 60/12pl drive for a TD to lead 17-10. They extended it to 24-10 in the 4Q but BC got a TD with 6:00 left and after NU went for it on 4&1 with 1:41 left, BC took over at their 36 and got 3 FD's to the NU19 but scrambled under pressure and was tkl'd on the final play. BC finished with a 474-424 yd edge.
Purdue once again lost their QB early in the season and they were without their #2QB as well. Caleb TerBush hit 19-33-219 as the 3rd string QB promoted to starter also threw the game winning TD pass in the final minute. Middle Tenn had a 460-420 yd edge. MTSU trailed for 5:22 of the 1H but led 14-10 and led most of the 2H. PU got a FG with 5:57 left to pull within 3 and a TD with :49 left to take the lead. MTSU went 50 yards and lined up for the game tying 47 yd FG but it was blk'd by Ricardo Allen.
Appalachian St came in highly ranked in the FCS but this game was no contest. Virginia Tech had a 291-61 yd edge at the half and led 38-0. VT had a lead of 52-0 before ASU got on the board and backup QB Mark Leal hit 6-11-113 yds for VT.
Alabama's 2 QB's both tossed a pair of int's but Bama dominated with a 482-90 yd edge and Kent St's only score came on a 3 yd DRIVE for a TD following one of the int's. Bama had a 24-6 FD edge. Trent Richardson only had 37 yards rushing but had 3 TD's. At the half Bama had a 257-22 yd and 13-1 FD edges.
Bryn Renner made an outstanding debut for UNC. He completed his first 8 passes and finished 22-23-277 yards but had 1 int. UNC blasted FCS power James Madison 42-10 with a 24-10 FD edge and 461-411 yd edge. Renner set the ACC record for highest single game completion % (95.7%) and he also scored a TD on a sneak early in the 4Q. Everett Withers made his coaching debut and it was very similar to what Butch Davis did in his first game as that UNC led JM 30-7 at the half and won 37-14.
Air Force dominated the 1H vs South Dakota with a 30-7 lead and had a 340-130 yd edge. They extended it to 37-7 on their opening drive of the 3Q but allowed two 4Q TD's, the latter with 7:33 left and only won by 17.
Florida St started slow with the first 5 poss of the game being punts. Thanks to an int with 3:04 left in the half they drove 84/6pl and got a 50 yd TD pass with 1:09 left to lead 17-0. They had a 206-93 yd edge. FSU opened the 3Q with a punt but went 66/14pl for a TD, 66/11pl for a FG. Backup QB Trickett came in after a 28 yd PR and his first career pass went 28 yds for a TD with 6:57 left. ULM was SOD at the FSU28 and 39 on 2 of their last 3 drives.
The Houston Cougars had a nice advantage in the fact that temps were in the 90's and humid. Los Angeles had not been above 75˚ the entire month of August. UCLA also lost QB Prince in the 2Q to concussion. Richard Brehaut hit 17-26-264 yards. UH led 31-14 and took over with :55 left in the half and got a TD on a 64/2pl drive, the TD coming with :08 left to lead 31-14. UH led 38-28 and had the ball with 1:59 left but gave up a TD pass with 1:19 left and then had to recover the onside kick to hold on for the win. UCLA finished with a 554-469 yd edge.
Illinois got a pair of slips by Arkansas St CB's that turned into long TD's and opened up a 30-8 lead after 3Q's. The announced crowd was 35,000 but appeared considerably smaller. UI finished with a 25-15 FD and 473-350 yd edges.
Lane Kiffin continues to try some crafty things and it basically kept Minnesota in the game. Last year he missed three 2 pt conversions vs the Gophers. Once again USC tried 2 pt conv after each of their first 2 TD's and once again came up short on both and only led 12-0. In the 3Q leading 19-3 Kiffin went for it on 4th & 6 at the UM36 and the snap went over the QB's head for a huge loss with UM recovering at the 30 and setting up a TD. On their next drive USC was SOD on 4&1 at the 20. UM actually pulled within 19-17 with 8:03 left and had the ball with backup QB Shortell in at their own 29 but were int'd at the 42 with :53 left. QB MarQueis Gray was inj'd and Shortell hit 7-13-98.
Interesting game with Colorado St/New Mexico. Each team missed a FG in the 1Q and NM fumbled at the CSU1. CSU got a TD with 1:32 left in the half to lead 7-3 but NM went 80/8pl getting a 3rd & 16, 27 yd TD pass with :12 left. That TD was their first TD in an opener since 2005 and gave them a 10-7 lead. CSU was SOD on 4&10 at the NM38 and missed a chipshot 28 yd FG early 4Q. CSU took the lead with a 40/11pl drive for a TD with 7:17 left. NM's hopes appeared out the window when on 4th & 14 they were sacked for a 7 yd loss at the CSU36 but CSU made a daring call going for it on 4&1 with 1:57 left and they were SOD. NM got 2 FD's to the 19 and another FD to the 5 was called back on a hold and on 3rd & 6 QB Austen was sk'd & fmbl'd with :09 let at the CSU18.
William & Mary had a disappointing debut vs Virginia. UVA did only lead 10-0 when they got a 48 yd FG on the final play of the half to make it 13-0. They had a 212-52 yd edge. The crushing drive of the game came when UVA drove 97/10pl on their opening drive of the 3Q to make it 20-0. W&M did not cross midfield until 8:00 were left in the game and they trailed 40-0 and avoided a shutout with a FG with 4:34 left.
Houston Nutt was hoping for a heat advantage over BYU which plays in the altitude but with Tropical Storm Lee blooming, it was in the 80's and overcast skies. This was a defensive struggle as each team got a defensive TD and Ole Miss blew a 13-0 4Q lead, losing by 1. The winning score came when BYU fell on a fmbl in the EZ for a TD with 5:09 left.
Howard Schnellenberger was not on the sidelines for the Florida game as his hip acted up and he was having severe discomfort and made a hospital trip on Friday. UF dominated in Muschamp's debut scoring on their first 4 poss and led 24-0 with FAU not picking up their first FD until 3:00 were left in the half. FAU did have a 1st & gl at the UF 4 and settled for a 26 yd FG and then missed a 34 yd FG with :05 left in the half, both following UF int's on their 5th & 6 poss. UF blk'd a punt and ret'd it 20 yds for a TD with 10:09 left 3Q but had a 1st & gl at the FA6 and was int'd in the EZ. UF's final score came on a 29 yd FG with 1:46 left to make it 41-3 and they had a 30-11 FD edge and 468-137 yd edge.
Oklahoma St's defense was better than the stats and the score. They led ULL 21-3 in the 2Q and allowed just 113 yards at the half. UL got a 37 yd IR TD by Bentley and 50 yd IR TD by Jemarlous Moten which pulled them within 34-20. In the 4Q trailing 51-20, UL went 82/15pl for a TD and then trailing 61-27 they took over with 2:52 left and went 80/9pl for a 3 yd TD run with :17 left. The much anticipated debut of OC Todd Monken saw the team roll up 666 yards, 9th best in school history.

The campaign war chest for Gov. Jay Nixon blows away those of all challengers from all parties, according to quarterly financial reports filed last week with the Missouri Ethics Commission.
The re-election campaign for the Democratic governor reported contributions of nearly $9.9 million thus far, more than three times the proceeds for Dave Spence, who is leading fundraising among Republican candidates for governor. The report for Spence, of St. Louis, listed campaign proceeds of $3.2 million, including a $250,000 loan.
Republican Bill Randles, of Kansas City, reported contributions to date of nearly $108,000, including loans of more than $36,000.
Exemptions on reporting were filed by William B. Campbell, a Democrat, of California, Mo., and Republican John D. Weiler, of Pevely, meaning their campaigns did not have collections or expenditures exceeding $500.
Contributions from Joplin area residents during the first quarter of the year were reported by Nixon's and Spence's campaigns.
Making contributions of $50 or more to Nixon's campaign were: Shelly D. Hunter, Mercy Health chief financial officer, Joplin, $1,000; Edison Kaderly, retired, Lamar, $100; Robert Copeland, chief executive, Mercy McCune-Brooks Hospital, Carthage, $250; Martha S. Miller, retired, Webb City, $150; Joseph R. Anderson, retired, Diamond, $100; Anita K. Oakes, attorney, Joplin, $200; Gary Pulsipher, Mercy Hospital Joplin president, Joplin, $1,000; Roger Johnson, attorney, Joplin, $1,000; Reina Probert, attorney, Jasper, $100; Wildwood Ranch, Joplin, $1,000; William L. Luke, retired, Neosho, $50; Mary Lou Dove, retired, Neosho, $50; Cynthia Schwab, Joplin, $100; and G.A. Purves Construction, Cassville, $250.
The Spence campaign reported two contributions from Joplin — from the committee to elect Sen. Ron Richard, $10,000, and from Harry Cornell Jr., $10,000.
In the extremely crowded race for lieutenant governor, incumbent Peter Kinder and challenger Brad Lager, both Republicans, are leading the fundraising field.
Kinder, of Cape Girardeau, reported campaign contributions of nearly $3.8 million, while Lager reported about $1.1 million in donations. Lager, a state senator from Savannah, cited more contributions for the quarter, at more than $330,000, compared with $220,000 for Kinder.
Quarterly contributions to Kinder included $2,500 from Rudolph Farber, president of Community Bank & Trust of Neosho. Lager's campaign cited contributions of $100,000 each from Ethelmae Humphreys, of Joplin, and Sarah Atkins, of Arlington, Va., both associated with Joplin-based TAMKO Building Products. W. Jay Mitchell, with Seneca Telephone, Seneca, contributed $1,500.
Among candidates for the Democratic nomination for lieutenant governor who filed reports with the Ethics Commission, Susan Montee, former state treasurer, was the top fundraiser with $222,000 in contributions thus far.
The campaign for Judy Baker, of Columbia, reported proceeds of $101,000, including a $10,000 loan. Other totals among Democrats included Fred Kratky, St. Louis, $48,000; Becky Lee Plattner, Grand Pass, $35,000, including loans of $25,000; and Sara Lampe, Springfield, $25,000.
Montee's campaign reported Joplin area contributions from Robert Nichols, engineer, Webb City, $500; Darrell Dove, retired, Neosho, $50; David Dove, retired, Neosho, $50; and Tobias Teeter, attorney, Carl Junction, $100.
Lampe's campaign reported contributions from Joplin residents Alison Hershewe, $1,000, and Ty Gaither, $250. Both are attorneys.
Cynthia Davis, of O'Fallon, a candidate for lieutenant governor on the Constitution Party ballot, reported contributions of $13,000.

Blueberry Pull-Apart Buns
These delicious buns are made with a soft dough, lightly spiced with cinnamon and nutmeg which has been layered with spiced sugar and fresh juicy blueberries. The buns will fill your kitchen with an incredible smell while they bake, and they're impossible to resist as they come out all risen, bubbling and golden.
They were originally going to be a pull-apart loaf after I saw a photograph of one the other day. I was just about to line the loaf tin when I though, how about making them into individual buns and baking them in the muffin tin? Yes, that's pretty much how my internal monologue sounds. I like a portable bun.
So, I put the tin back into the cupboard and lined my muffin tin with paper cases instead. The dough is very easy and can be used to make normal buns and it would make perfect hot cross buns {I'll be making them soon} too with the addition of dried fruit.
I'd seen a wonderful pull-apart loaf on a lovely blog ages ago and I've been meaning to make one. I simply used my hot cross bun recipe, altering it slightly in sweetness and spices, and omitting the fruit. Rather than shaping the dough into buns, I rolled it out flat, cut and stacked it to make layers which I then cut and popped into my muffin pan.
Don't be put off by the idea of making bread, yes it takes a while but the majority of that time is taken waiting for the dough to rise, you can just put it to one side and go off and do something else. The making of the dough itself is quick and easy.
Blueberry Pull-Apart Buns
For the dough
- 2 tsp fast-action yeast
- 1/2 tsp sugar
- 100 ml {just under 1/2 cup} hand hot water
- 400 g (3 + 1/5 cup} strong {bread} white flour
- 1 tsp mixed spice
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- a good pinch freshly grated nutmeg
- scant tsp salt
- 50 g {3 tbsp} caster sugar
- 50 g {1/2 stick} butter
- 2 +1/2 tbsp milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 free-range egg, beaten
Place the hot water into a jug and stir in the sugar and yeast. Set aside for 5 minutes or so while you prepare the rest of the ingredients. After a while it should get a frothy head, that's the yeast starting to work.
Into a large bowl sift the flour, spices and salt and mix together, I like to use a whisk for this. Stir in the sugar.
Place the butter in a small bowl and microwave for 25 seconds or until just melted. Add the milk and microwave for a further 15 seconds. Stir in the vanilla.
Pour the yeast mixture, the butter mixture and the beaten egg into the flour and use your hands to mix it all together and to bring it into a soft dough. Add a teaspoon or so more milk if it needs it, it should leave the bowl clean of flour.
Transfer to a clean work surface and knead it for about 8 to 10 minutes, it should become soft and smooth, with plenty of elasticity.
This is my kneading technique, it's basically about stretching and folding the dough.
Alternatively you could use a bread machine for all this. Add the ingredients in the order recommended by the manufacturer and use a dough setting.
Put a tiny drop of oil into a clean bowl and roll your kneaded dough to lightly coat it. Cover the bowl with a damp cloth or clingfilm and leave in a warm place for an hour or so. During this time, the dough should double in size.
Let's turn this dough into pull-apart muffins
Oven 210 C / gas 6 / 410 F
12 hole muffin pan lined with paper cases if you like, or lightly greased.
- 200 g fresh blueberries
- 50 g {1/2 stick} butter
- 100 g {1/2 cup} caster sugar
- freshly grated nutmeg
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Knock the risen dough down with your knuckles then tip out onto a clean work surface. Pat into a rough flat rectangle then use a rolling-pin to roll it out to about 40 cm by 25 cm.
Melt the butter in the microwave for 20 seconds, stir in the sugar, nutmeg, cinnamon and vanilla. Use a spoon to spread this mixture over the dough, right to the edges. Sprinkle the blueberries over the top and press them down slightly.
Cut the rectangle into 5 strips. Layer each strip on top of each other.
Cut slices off the strip about 2 cm thick and place them into the muffin tin holes. Cover the tin loosely with cling film and leave in a warm place for half and hour or so for the buns to plump up.
Bake for about 12 minutes until risen, bubbling and golden. Use a spoon handle to carefully remove the buns from the tin as soon as you can. The blueberries will have released their gorgeous purple juice, it will set as it cools so you want to get those buns out before that happens. Cool on a wire rack.
These would be perfect for breakfast, the buns can be prepared up to the point where the rolled, stacked dough is put into the muffin tin the day/evening before. Cover with cling film and place the tin in the fridge overnight. Get out as soon as you get up, to bring to room temperature, then bake when you're ready.
Eat as fresh as possible.

Last year, Which Wich experienced what might be called a happy accident. Frequent diner Chad Ettmueller locked his jaw when attempting to bite into a double-meat Wicked® at the store in Cumming, Georgia. While painful for Ettmueller in the beginning, the end result was warm fuzzies all around. We received quite a bit of media attention, and Ettmueller became the unofficial ambassador of our brand. We are honored yet again that Restaurant Business recognized this wicked encounter in its list of 50 Great Ideas. In fact, we're no. 1. It's going to be tough to top that this year! But we'll give it a try!

You like us. You really like us! For the second year in a row, Which Wich has made it to the WFAA-List, in which users vote for their favorites in 13 categories, including cheap eats, great meals, arts and entertainment, and fashion. After seven years here, our hometown still hearts us, and we can add 2010 Best Sandwich Shop in North Texas to our list of top honors. Yep, that's a little tear you see in the corner of our eye.
Wow. There aren't a lot of people—much less CEO's—willing to release "before" photos quite like the one above. But that's Jeff Sinelli's style, to tell it (and show it) like it is. Sinelli shares the story of his triumphant weight loss—and regained clarity about his business—with Healthy Dining's Anita Jones-Mueller.
Wow! We're on fire! And we mean that sincerely, because the latest honor is coming out Albuquerque, New Mexico, the only store in the country where you can get hot red and green chilies on your wiches! Albuquerque, the Magazine has named Which Wich the Best of the City in its annual "best of" issue. Congratulations, chile-heads! This is shaping up to be a very happy holiday season, indeed.
Dear UT Austin, we owe you a big Thank You Turkey for naming Which Wich the UTmost Campus Sandwich Shop for fall 2010. We won't lie. We get a bit teary thinking about this one, because a certain Which Wich blogger is a UT alumna.

Since there was no post before yesterday's show, or any post in the last several days, I'm submitting this. If you want to discuss the show with me and Don yesterday, including the final conversation with carm.org apologist Matt Slick, then have at it. Note that comment moderation is on, so it might take a while for yours to show up.

Open thread on AE 2/15

For a quick crash course in Slick tactics, I suggest the RRS show that he was on about 1.5 years ago. He's not a nice man. http://www.rationalresponders.com/forum/the_rational_response_squad_radio_show/show_guests_and_musicians/10854
Honestly? It was painful. It repeatedly dissolved into him yelling about you guys not letting him talk whenever you were questioning or trying to clarify a point. On top of that, he didn't really get anywhere. While I do hope the guy calls in again, I really hope it isn't more of the same that he tries to give us.
That Slick person could have saved some time with his argument by using math as a "transcendent" concept instead of logic. Math is also something that is arguably independent of space time.Just because there are things which might be true, though, is for me still no argument that they needed a creator. Unless his point was that logic is god or some such nonsense.
Mark's "Transcendental Argument" seems to me to be a relative of the Ontological Argument, which basically defines God into existence by making a bunch of needlessly obfuscated logical assertions. It's like one of those fake proofs that 1=2, where it's hard to find the exact place where the logic breaks down, but it's still clearly absurd.Nevertheless, I found it frustrating to listen because in his eagerness to jump on any assertion he felt was unsupported, I think Russell was jumping to conclusions too early. Mark was being very careful to avoid making huge logical leaps, but very often Russell or Don leapt to a conclusion that was way beyond anything Mark had said and began arguing against that. It sounded like a straw man to me. (I can't come up with a specific example right now, but as soon as the audio is posted I will find one.)
Mark Plus
I wonder what presuppositionalists like Matt Slick make of the fact that computer engineers routinely design computers to perform logical and mathematical operations through electrons in motion. A computer's "logic gate" on a piece of silicon doesn't look so "transcendental" to me.
It was interesting to have a theist with at least half a thought in his head on the show – too bad it was still only half. I shared a little bit of the Matt Slick's frustration with the conversation because although I support the notion that if you let a million assumptions go whizzing by you have to start over to address the problems, but after a while it seemed like he could only speak in half sentences and I really wanted to hear what he was trying to get at.That being said, having gone to his website and read the whole argument, I think you guys had him nailed by the end with prescriptive vs. descriptive. Plus, the argument is so convoluted it amounts to sleight of hand imho.Whatever. I enjoyed it.
I'm listening to the show now. I stopped it at the 1:01 mark to do something else, but I'll listen to the rest soon.
One thing I've noticed in general is that there seem to be too many intelligent people involved with atheism, which can unfortunately lead to a distasteful appearance of smugness, a public relations liability. Where are the brutish, lowbrow atheist extremists that the moderates can disavow in order to seem more tolerant and reasonable?
R. Daneel Olivaw
This guy is a fail. A quick read through his we and you find this:"We also analyze secular philosophies such as abortion, atheism, evolution, and relativism"Evolution: science theoryAbortion: medical procedureAtheism: response to theismWhere's the philosophy side of those?
stronger now
Ok, I didn't get to watch the last few minutes. My computer went down. What happened? Are you still an atheist? Will that guy call back on another show? Will there be ongoing dialogue between him and the ACA? Just kidding, but it is killing to me to not know the outcome. I hope you get the audio problems fixed soon. It's getting difficult to listen to on mp3. I still love the show.
Its hard to say too much as the echo made it a little harder to hear and Matt Slick is known for throwing a bunch of convoluted BS. The problem is (and I think it was stated by George after the show as well) is that with Matt Slick you would probably have to dedicate a whole show, and not sure how interesting the show would be. It would be far easier to debate and talk with him on email as you can have him lay out what he is talking about, and then refute it (similar to the Colson issue). I will have to rewatch/relisten to it later to listen in more detail.
Excellent show. The audio was pretty annoying. I got use to it and it worked out okay, but as a listener, when two people were talking at the same time, it was impossible for me to understand either person with the set up you had going. I really hope he calls in again, that was AETV at its best. Though I did not think he was really understanding and thinking through want he was saying. Even at the beginning, he was making huge leaps with what logic was as a definition that he could not support. The principles of logic seem to be the best way we humans have, at the moment, of understanding the world around us. This does not make it the end all be all of human thought. We could one day discover a system of "knowing" that is better than the current one we have. But the fact that the logic we rely on today is the best that we have does not by definition mean it is the pinnacle of human intellectual achievement. There are other systems of knowledge and ways to construct worldviews in the world today. This of course does not make any one worldview and system of know equal to all others. Certainly the "western logic" that we use appears to be the best and most accurate way to arrive at Truth with the smallest degree of error that we have come up with to this point. But this does not mean that it is transcendental. It only means we are thus far too stupid to find a better way. I felt like he was trying to attack Don's position that logic is a human construction to describe and understand the world around us as a sort of relativistic position. I think this is not the point that Don was going for, but to be fair to the caller Matt, the way Don started that statement is the way that many relativists will start out their statements that all knowledge is relative and so we cannot really "know" or trust anything. It might have been a good tactic to describe human constructions of ways to understand the world as operating on a continuum. On one side of the line would be Truth with 100% certainty and on the other side would be Truth with 0% certainty. All the knowledge systems in the world would fall somewhere on that line, probably with no knowledge system achieving 0% certainty and obviously no knowledge system achieving 100% certainty. Certainly "western logic" falls really close to that 100% certainty, and of all the knowledge systems that we know of that have to this date been created, it is the best method we have devised at getting close to 100% certainty. But I do not think that anybody would claim that we have 100% perfect knowledge of anything that we have studied so far. And because logic has not yet gotten us to Truth with 100% certainty, it does not make sense to call it transcendental. We know logic was created by humans, we can go back and actually see the steps they took in creating it. There is no reason to think that it is transcendental, or to assume that it was created by an all-powerful fairy in the sky. The rules of logic are proof of humans, not of any god.
Hey AE people. I'm a little disappointed that you guys played along with Matt Slick, rather than point out the main problem with his 'proof'. That problem is that even if he's correct about most of what he said, it is not actually a proof at all. Check my post on this topic:http://www.atheistpropaganda.com/2008/09/scientific-proof-vs-religious-proof.htmlThis is a god which used to part oceans, release plagues, slay children, etc, etc. And now it only reveals itself through the 'transcendental proof' (a "philosophical proof"). Wow, philosophical proof. That's the best they can do now. They know their god will never reveal itself in any other way, and they know it will never be detected.Next time somebody calls with this kind of 'proof', I'd like to see you guys point out that it isn't a proof at all. It's only theoretical, and proof of existence requires detection.
First time posting in response to a show and I have to ask, Why did you let that guy babble on for so long? It was painful to listen to, even more than the non-professonal apologists, since there seemed to be no point. Even if logic were some non-universal elemental force, it doesn't lead to a God, much less the christian one. What if Socrates was right and it's a result of the world of form and world of substance? If logic exists outside of observation why can't it just be a spectrum like electro-magnetism (as a side note isn't that more or less how Disk World works?) Why is that guy considered a good apologist? all he did was fling around faux intellectual buzz words. If he comes on again, would it be possible to insist he argues purely by real evidence? After all, even if he wasn't being absurd, something can be logical and still not reflect reality (ie. the Zeno's paradox)What really got me about his argument is that he outright broke his own established rules of logic. Law of contradictions. Something can not have two mutually exclusive qualities (ie something heavy cannot also be light). He then says that God is both inside and outside the universe. Unless he's trying to argue that God is so fat he's stuck in the universe's door frame he's invoking special pleading.
To be honest I was a bit disappointed in the conversation with Matt Slick. I know you guys were trying to avoid letting his argument be based on falsehoods or poorly defined terms, but I don't even think he got a chance to get to any worthwhile part of his argument (if he had one). Frankly, with the short amount of time that was left, I would have let him get about half-way through to the first "meat" of his argument, then embarrass him.
I once heard post modern philosophy described as taking a concept and making it as difficult to understand as possible. That's exactly what he did. He took a concept that could have been expressed fairly simply and instead loaded it with as many big, smart sounding words as possible.I can understand why he was getting pissed at being interrupted: He's used to throwing out that argument all in one go and relying on it to shock his opponent into submission. By being interrupted and called on things, he couldn't rely on that.
Ing,exactly. It's just so convenient that special pleading makes him special. He's special by definition, ergo has the 'I win' button permanently implemented in any argument. Of course theists will maintain that removing God from any reasonable argument by definition does not in any way invalidate the claim that he exists in reality and can be experienced by the transcendental part of the mind. 'Cuz I say so'. End of discussion.Turn around, and the Pope is condemning condom use again. 'Cuz he wins'. Disasters punish homos. 'Cuz he wins'.Argh.
First time to comment for me as well.I've to agree with some comments here in that she show wasn't much fun to watch, mostly due to the caller's whining. I mean, he gets interrupted for like 2 seconds and then cries about it for 2 minutes. That being said, I don't know what the right strategy in response to that kind of behavior would've been. Just let him go on for 2 minutes and then shut him down completely? Aggressively telling him not to act like a baby? As for the caller's argument: In my opinion it already falls short when he tries to imply that formal logic actually "transcends" anywhere… when it doesn't even manage to break out of the realm of pure mathematical models and definitions."IF…THEN…" may sound like a formal logic statement of the form A => B (I don't recall what example he jumped on), but it's not.IF the light is green THEN go across the street. Right? No, wrong! If the light is green and there's no ambulance rushing in and you know that the light isn't falsely showing green and [insert infinite amount of more conditions] then go across the street. Real life situations are impossible to model using formal logic because life isn't discrete.There are of course other kinds of logic and similar methods used in knowledge engineering that try to cope with that problem, but they of course come with a price. For example, inference might break down or you've to say goodbye to the caller's much loved laws of identity… heck, you're lucky when you can assume monotony.Anyway, I hope I made some sense here and thanks for making the show.
I'll reiterate that Matt Slick NEVER has a point. His sole purpose in a "debate" is to babble incoherently and complain about not being allowed to speak. He HAS NO POINTS. They could've let him talk for an hour, an he'd stutter for half of it, continuously repeating himself, have long discussions about nothing that go nowhere, and spend 15 minutes complaining about not being allowed to speak and another 5 making fun of the atheists for allegedly being logical when, if they were logical, they'd agree with him so they're obviously not.

Subject: All the Catfish you can eat
Need to see just in case you're going fishing anytime soon!!!!!!!
For all those crazy guys who go noodling for catfish and stick their arms down the fish s throat!! This would really be all the catfish you can eat.
Each year, a few people will be drowned mysteriously in Huadu's Furong Reservoir. It was not until recently when the son of a certain official went swimming in the reservoir with his friend and were drowned that the secret was unravelled!
It's a 3 metre long man-eating catfish whose head alone is 1 metre wide! After cutting up the catfish people were surprised to find the remains of a man inside!
Because this was a huge incident, and the local government was afraid of the impact on local tourism, they imposed an embargo on the news, but people came away with these pictures taken on their cell phones of the man-eating fish!
Swimming in the reservoir is now forbidden because it is feared another similar man-eating catfish is still lurking in the waters.

This week's recipe is in celebration of my fiance's birthday today! His all-time favorite meal, lasagna, is what I make him every year. I have always used the same recipe from www.allrecipes.com called World's Best Lasagna. It's a bit more work, but the end result is delicious! I always add green peppers to liven it up a little. So, if you're feeling a bit of cabin fever, or the winter blues...dig yourself out and get yourself to Price Chopper! Heat up the kitchen and serve up some smiles.
Here is what you will need:
1 pound sweet Italian sausage
3/4 pound lean ground beef
1/2 cup minced onion
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
2 (6 ounce) cans tomato paste
2 (6.5 ounce) cans canned tomato sauce
1/2 cup water
2 tablespoons white sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons dried basil leaves
1/2 teaspoon fennel seeds
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1 tablespoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
4 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
12 lasagna noodles
16 ounces ricotta cheese
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 pound mozzarella cheese, sliced
3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- In a Dutch oven, cook sausage, ground beef, onion, and garlic over medium heat until well browned. Stir in crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, tomato sauce, and water. Season with sugar, basil, fennel seeds, Italian seasoning, 1 tablespoon salt, pepper, and 2 tablespoons parsley. Simmer, covered, for about 1 1/2 hours, stirring occasionally.
- Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook lasagna noodles in boiling water for 8 to 10 minutes. Drain noodles, and rinse with cold water. In a mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese with egg, remaining parsley, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
- To assemble, spread 1 1/2 cups of meat sauce in the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish. Arrange 6 noodles lengthwise over meat sauce. Spread with one half of the ricotta cheese mixture. Top with a third of mozzarella cheese slices. Spoon 1 1/2 cups meat sauce over mozzarella, and sprinkle with 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese. Repeat layers, and top with remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheese. Cover with foil: to prevent sticking, either spray foil with cooking spray, or make sure the foil does not touch the cheese.
- Bake in preheated oven for 25 minutes. Remove foil, and bake an additional 25 minutes. Cool for 15 minutes before serving.
Yields 12 servings
Happy Birthday to the most wonderful man in the world! Enjoy!!!

Washington State Adopts Digital Ticketing with Paciolan's Help
Mini Swamy
, TMCnet Contributor
Washington State University
has extended
its long-term partnership with Paciolan, a reputed provider of venue enablement ticketing, marketing and fund raising solutions in college athletics.
Story continues below ↓
made the announcement and said that the University had added the company's full digital ticketing package for football and basketball going live this fall. Paciolan powers over 500 live entertainment organizations who sell over 100 million tickets annually.
With the Paciolan system in place, buying tickets is not only faster and easier, but also more convenient. Tickets can be purchased online and then printed at home. This would do away with the inconvenience of having to wait in long ticket office lines to buy a ticket. There is no doubt that this system positively impacts fan behavior.
Not only do the fans stand to gain. University costs associated with printing of tickets and mailing are saved, and streamlining of ticket office operations makes for hassle free ticket buying and selling. Interestingly, this mode of selling tickets allows the office to gain background data on customers, by getting information about attendance statistics, entrance patterns, and other no-show data as well.
"Paciolan's commitment to college athletics and our continued success made the decision to renew our agreement easy," Leslie Johnson, associate athletic director, business operations, Washington State University, said.
Johnson said the success of the Paciolan System made them look ahead at implementing an efficient digital ticketing system for the university. Given Paciolan's established position and powerful software capabilities, Johnson looked forward to being associated with the company for a long time.
The great advantage of the Paciolan's digital ticketing system was that it improved the season holder's experience by allowing him to transfer unused tickets to anyone electronically. The barcode on the ticket ensures its validity.
"We're honored to be facilitating Washington State's foray into digital ticketing," Dave Butler, CEO of Paciolan, said, and added that by leveraging the many capabilities of its full football and basketball ticketing system, Paciolan could look forward to helping Washington State achieve their marketing goals.
Founded in 1980, Paciolan is the leader in venue enablement, powering ticketing, fund- raising and marketing technology solutions for leading organizations across North America. Collectively, Primary markets include college athletics, professional sports, performing arts, arenas and museums. Paciolan is a wholly owned subsidiary of Comcast (
Paciolan recently
the extension of a multi-year partnership with The University of Texas and its intercollegiate athletics program. The agreement was approved by the UT System Board of Regents at its last meeting.

Illinois' Mendenhall and Davis, Michigan's Adams and Wisconsin's DeBauche Earn Weekly Football Accolades
Sept. 24, 2007
Jamar Adams, Michigan
SR, S, Charlotte, N.C./Butler
Adams equaled the second-best single-game performance in Michigan annals with five pass breakups, including one on each of Penn State's final two offensive plays to secure a victory over the 10th-ranked Nittany Lions. The senior safety matched his career high with eight tackles while earning half of a tackle for loss as the Wolverines held PSU to only three field goals, more than 30 points below its season average of 45 points per contest entering the game. Adams' performance ranks second only to Marlin Jackson, who broke up a school record six passes against Washington in 2002. Three of the North Carolina native's five breakups came in the fourth quarter and four thwarted third or fourth down opportunities. Adams collects the first weekly laurel of his career.

Lindsay, 22, has a certain confidence in her step now -- compliments of what's in her shirt. "I've just always wanted them. I think breast implants are super sexy."
How much did her new breasts cost her? Not a single dime. Total strangers footed the bill for her new breasts.
She explains, "Currently on our web site there is 20,297 guys willing to donate to boob jobs. I think that's incredible. I love the Internet."
Benefactors donate at least $1.20 each time they email any of the 3,000 women waiting for implants. Lindsay said, "Probably about 10 guys really paid for my boob job."
There have been 41 "boob jobs" paid for and completed since My Free Implants took off two years ago. In fact, 11 of those 41 surgeries happened this month.
Lindsay said, "I went from an A-cup to a double-D." As women's cup sizes grow, so does the business.
Co-founders Jason Grunstra and Jay Moore expect to raise a million dollars before the year is out.
What possesses a total stranger to pay for this?
The founders explain, "For some of them, they have a lot of money... a charity type thing. For others, it's like science fiction...creating the perfect woman in their eyes."
They continued, "Guys spend hundreds of dollars on drinks at a bar on women they don't know. This might be a better investment for some guys."
The most amount of money donated by one benefactor is $30,000 in one month by a man from the UK. The founders said they paid for just over three breast surgeries.
Ninety percent of the money that benefactors donate goes directly to the woman's doctor of choice. With advertising that consists of doctor listings on the site and ten percent of the net proceeds, these entrepreneurs are in for a huge payoff, and they're not even 30-years-old.
In the meantime... women who have received the implants are thrilled. One said she thinks the two founders are brilliant. Another says, "A big thank you to Jason and Jay. You guys are a God send."
God sends that encourage benefactors to "help improve the women's self esteem and confidence."
Lindsay agrees, "I got something I wanted for free and had fun while doing it." She says her clothes fit better now, and everyone smiles at her more.
Lindsay's benefactors didn't come away completely empty handed. For as little as $1.20 per e-mail, they got to see photos of her new figure.

Another Great Boat Name
I've become a collector of boat names. There are so many good ones that come through the marina. This is a great time of year for that because all of the snowbirds who have flown south for the winter are now on their way back up north for the warmer months. Most drive but many have taken their boats down for the season as well, so we get a steady supply of new names to enjoy. And they get a steady supply of friendly faces as they pass through here. Fair trade.

Burgess, Roberta (2010) Goat production in the Northern Cape : what are the impacts of farmer training? Masters thesis, Rhodes University.
The main millennium development goal is to eradicate extreme poverty and hunger in the world by 2015. South Africa is one of the countries that signed this pledge at the millennium summit in 2000. The Department of Agriculture, has initiated a number of projects to assist farmers and communities with reaching this goal. In the Northern Cape, the commercialization of goats is one such anchor project. The major activities of this project is to train farmers in applied and appropriate production practices, assist them with accessing markets and supporting them with improved livestock. The main aim of this research was to evaluate whether the project has achieved its outcome and whether this outcome, is having an impact on the livelihoods of the farmers involved in the project. After reviewing the literature on evaluation research and programme evaluation across time, the different paradigms and approaches, participatory methodology was used in this study. A case study approach was applied to evaluate the outcomes and effects of the training received by farmers, as part of the commercialization of goats programme. The results of the study proved that the training received by members of the Campbell Agricultural Co-operative Enterprises, changed their goat production practices. The training also had a secondary impact. Trained farmers were imparting (technology transfer) their acquired knowledge to other members of the co-operative. This appeared very effective as all members of the cooperative were farming more scientifically. These changes to the production practices had a positive impact on the livelihoods of the farmers, as their animals were of a better quality and they were able to sell their animals at different markets and for better prices. This has however not commercialized their farming operations as they are still faced with many challenges. These challenges are the lack of a proper marketing structure, access to financial assistance, proper infrastructure and adequate transport for the animals to mention a few. If the Department of Agriculture and Land Affairs is serious about assisting these farmers to move from the status of "emerging farmer" to "commercial farmer" they will have to look at addressing the problems experienced with financial access and access to adequate and appropriate transport.

On Football
Matt Williams
---- — Early this morning — before or after you thumbed through this newspaper, depending on when you rise — hundreds of boys around the North Shore were doing jumping jacks wearing football helmets and shorts.
The joy that comes with such a seemingly mundane activity can be explained in three words: It's football season.
Much work will be done between today's sessions on the dewy grass and the season opener. Teams will install offenses and defenses, learn techniques, get in shape and discover which underclassmen can contribute. Lots of things can change, but with the unofficial beginning of the fall sports, lets look ahead to what you can expect from the teams on the North Shore.
Since this is the first time the Bay State is employing an official playoff system, lets run through the local teams in order of their divisional placement.
Defending D1 Super Bowl champion St. John's Prep headlines the field in Division 1 North, a field with 12 large schools. Returning Salem News Player of the Year Johnny Thomas is undoubtedly the best running back in the state, probably in New England, and the Eagles return four of five starters on the offensive line.
Repeating as Super Bowl champs has proven impossible in the immediate area, though Gloucester has done it several times. As the Eagles look to make history, the team in their way would be one that knows plenty about back-to-back Super Bowls: Everett. A titanic match between the Prep and the Crimson could punctuate the D1 North final.
The other local entry in D1 North is Peabody, in their first season under coach Mark Bettencourt. After going 0-10 for the first time ever, there's no where for the Tanners to go but up. The Blue-and-White started so many young players last season — Ryan Collins, Mike Raymond, Tanner Moquin, Billy Teehan and Cody Wlasuk among them — that it's easy to imagine improvement simply by virtue of maturity.
A playoff berth might be a reach for Peabody, but it isn't impossible. For this year at least, you have to imagine the Tanners will measure themselves on competitiveness, however.
There are no area teams in D2 North, though Lynn Classical and Lynn English are out of the Northeastern Conference.
Division 3 Northeast is loaded with the North Shore, however. Defending Super Bowl champion Beverly would also like to go back to back, but the Panthers are rebuilding the offensive line and looking for depth behind lead running back Isaiah White. Excellent defense has been a Panther staple under Dan Bauer and that should continue and help any growing pains for the Wing-T without Brendan Flaherty and Kenny Pierce.
The biggest challenger should be Masconomet, a team with a dynamic offensive one-two punch in Mac Cashin and Mike Tivinis. The Chieftains are always strong, disciplined and well-conditioned, and back in the Cape Ann League look like a playoff lock. Marblehead should also be in the mix.
There are just 12 teams in D3 Northeast, with eight of them making the playoffs. Those numbers gives teams like Salem and Danvers hope for making the postseason for the first time in some time. Salem returns a lot of speed and Danvers appears to have all kinds of offensive skill. Both teams will need to be more consistent to contend for the sectional crown. Don't overlook Gloucester, either, especially if the Fisherman stay healthy.
Tewksbury could contend, especially coming from the rugged Merrimack Valley Conference, but the preseason prediction here is Masconomet against Beverly for the D3 Northeast crown in November.
Division 4 is similarly loaded, but just eight of 16 teams will qualify for the tournament. That could put a team like Swampscott, playing a fairly difficult schedule, at a disadvantage. Stil, the Big Blue are playing against like-sized teams, so if they get into the bracket they should be very dangerous as QB Brendan McDonald gets his feet wet.
Ipswich could improve under new coach Greg Brotherton and Hamilton-Wenham will have to get used to life without Trevor Lyons, though the return of running back Cam Macri should help ease that transition. Beyond the immediate area, its easy to like Triton and Lynnfield in the Division 4 North section. Winthrop, always tough under coach Sean Driscoll, could be a surprise team once the tournament begind as well.
It seems the most difficult thing about D4 will be qualifying, because of the increased number of teams that don't. There will be good teams that don't squeak in.
In Division 5, the Catholic Central League appears to have a leg up on the competition. I figure the two best teams on paper coming in are Bishop Fenwick and St. Mary's; another rendition of last year's classic something football fans can salivate over. With Rufus Rushins and Nick Bona as foundational pieces, it feels like the Crusaders are primed for a run at their first Super Bowl in a decade.
North Shore Tech is the entry in Division 6 North, and the 19 teams along with these are some of the usual suspects for Bulldogs fans: Chelsea, Mystic Valley, Minuteman, etc. Coach Paul Worth has done a fine job keeping his team in the mix since he returned to the sidelines and this year should be no different.
Once a team wins its sectional, they'll face the winner of the South in Division 2, 4, 5 and 6, before advancing to the state final against a team from Western or Central Mass. In the case of D3 and D1, the Super Bowl would be against a South opponent.
So much can change between today and Halloween, roughly when the playoffs begin, that these predictions might mean nothing. Still, it feels great to know that the time to make them is finally here.

It is a very sad day to learn of the death of yet another Police officer while another is fighting for his life.
Officer Craig Birkholz was shot in the upper chest by the suspect and killed. Officer Ryan Williams was shot twice in the chest and is in critical condition. My condolences to the Birkholz family and friends, RIP Officer Berkholz. I wish Officer Ryan Williams and OfficerZackSchultz a speedy recovery and a Tsunami of prayers.
For those you who choose not to wear a vest because they are hot and uncomfortable and thinking nothing will ever happen to "YOU", please reconsider wearing your vests and safety gear. Think of all the grief, broken hearts & tears of those who care about and love you should something ever happen to you. I am not lecturing anyone here, just don't want to see any of my brothers or sisters in my ER dieing because they did not want to wear their BP vest. Take care and be safe

It was a tough day at the ball park for the Clemson men's golf team - especially for its youngest members.
The Tigers' struggled to a 25-over 305 and stand 13th in the 15-team field headed into the second day of the Fighting Illini Invitational, which is being played at Olympia Fields outside Chicago.
Clemson tossed out a 14-over 84 by first-year freshman Carson Young, the reigning South Carolina Amateur champion, but counted a 79 by his former Pendleton High teammate, Austin Langdale, as well as a 77 by sophomore Stephen Behr and a 76 by sophomore Miller Capps.
Sophomore Cody Proveaux led the Tigers with a three-over 73 that included five bogeys and two birdies.
Both Young and Langdale struggled with big numbers. Young double-bogeyed his opening hole, took a triple on the 10th and then finished with another double at 18.
Langdale, after opening with back-to-back pars, had a quadruple-bogey 8 on the par four.
Behr and Capps avoided big numbers, but combined for 15 bogeys and just one birdie.
Clemson trails No. 1 Alabama by 24 shots going into the second round, and second-place Oklahoma State by 14. The Tigers are 10 shots behind sixth-place Florida State. They lead Northwestern and Florida.
Proveaux's 73 was good enough for a tie for 15th in the individual standings.
Martin In Top 10 at Scarlet Course: Ben Martin shot a two-under 69 on Friday and is tied for ninth place at the midway point of the Web.com Tour's fourth playoff event - the Nationwide Children's Hospital Championship at Ohio State's Scarlet Course in Columbia, Ohio.
Martin, who followed up on his opening 70, continues to take steps to enhance his playing status on the 2014 PGA Tour, which begins next month. He is currently six shots out of the lead, but just two strokes out of fourth place.
Martin tees off at 12:45 p.m. on Saturday.
Both D.J. Trahan and Jonathan Byrd missed the cut after 76s on Friday.

PLAYERS: Kirk Cousins, Brent Celek, LeSean McCoy, Andy Reid, Bryce Brown, Ahmad Bradshaw, David Wilson, Dez Bryant, Rob Gronkowski, Maurice Jones-Drew, Torrey Smith, Roddy White, Robert Griffin III
TEAMS: Washington Redskins, Philadelphia Eagles, New York Giants, Dallas Cowboys, New England Patriots, Jacksonville Jaguars, Baltimore Ravens, Atlanta Falcons
TEAMS: Washington Redskins, Philadelphia Eagles, New York Giants, Dallas Cowboys, New England Patriots, Jacksonville Jaguars, Baltimore Ravens, Atlanta Falcons
Robert Griffin III The Redskins continued their strong push for the playoffs behind their rookie quarterback. However, it wasn't the former Heisman winner behind center but instead a guy taken 100 picks later. Kirk Cousins threw for 329 yards and two touchdowns filling in for the injured RGIII and could be in line for a second straight start. RGIII did not play after spraining the lateral collateral ligament (LCL) in his right knee. We detailed the injury last week and discussed how an injury of this magnitude would limit a mobile quarterback like Griffin. The limitations remain the same despite the progress shown by Griffin last week. RGII was able to participate in practice, but Cousins continued to work with the first team. If the Redskins take the same approach this week, then it is a good sign that Griffin will miss another game. However, if he is cleared and physically able to receive a majority of the reps with the first team, that should serve as a good indicator he will be back against the Eagles. If you are a RGIII owner with a fantasy title in play, cross your fingers that he continues to make progress but make sure you add Cousins as insurance. Brent Celek, LeSean McCoy An independent neurologist has cleared both Eagles players to return to action after each suffered a concussion. McCoy has missed four games since sustaining his head injury while Celek missed last week's contest recovering. Celek seems more likely to play in Week 16 and remains a low-end tight end option. McCoy's status is less clear despite coach Andy Reid suggesting he could be available. McCoy's concussion was significant enough to sideline him for a quarter of the season. Exposing him to another hard hit when your team has little left to play for would be an unwise decision. Rookie Bryce Brown may have cooled down since big games over the Panthers and Cowboys, but Philly should use the final two outings to see if he is capable of splitting time with McCoy. Utilizing two backs may be somewhat of a headache for fantasy owners, but the occasional carry by Brown next season could help McCoy avoid another injury and keep his legs fresher for the entire season. Expect the Eagles to make a decision by the weekend. Ahmad Bradshaw The Giants running back insists he will play against the Ravens this week after sitting out New York's blowout loss to Atlanta. Bradshaw suffered a sprained knee in a win over the Saints and was forced to watch as David Wilson had a breakout performance. However, Bradshaw has made progress in rehab and feels the knee will allow him to play against Baltimore and a defense that is 26th in the league against the rush. Still I'm not sold on Bradshaw just yet. His nagging foot injury remains an issue and its unlikely the knee is 100 percent healthy. He's only received 20 or more carries in four of the 12 games he participated in, and I suspect Bradshaw will split carries with Wilson if he does manage to play. Dez Bryant Despite a broken left index finger Bryant not only played against the Steelers in Week 15 but hauled in four passes for 59 yards and a touchdown. He played the game wearing a protective splint on the digit, fighting through any associated pain. While his presence was a boost for the Cowboys and fantasy teams alike, he remains a risk. The break is significant and reports are surfacing that Bryant may ultimately need a bone graft. A bone graft is often used in situations where the pieces of bone are having trouble joining together. A small piece of bone is taken from another part of the body, usually the iliac crest of the hip bone, to help fuse the pieces together by creating an environment better suited for feeling. A straight, solid union is necessary so that the bone can serve as the anchor for the intricate system of ligaments and tendons that allow for proper finger function. Look for Bryant to address the issue when the season has concluded. In the meantime, he will play with the splint and try to help Dallas sneak into the postseason. Keep him in your lineups but understand there is a good deal of associated risk that comes with his achy finger. Rob Gronkowski The Patriots offense could get a lift if their Pro Bowl tight end can return. Gronk has been out since Nov. 19 after he suffered a fractured left forearm in a win over the Colts. Surgery was required to stabilize the break and insure a proper union would occur during the healing process. It appears to have helped as he returned to practice late last week but was inactive against the Niners. A return this week remains possible with the Patriots still fighting for a top seed and first round bye in the AFC playoff hunt. If he plays you have to start him, bone heals quickly and there should be little limitations on what he will be capable of doing on the field. Watch his practice reps to see how active he is and keep in mind he has a minor hip issue as well. If all goes well throughout the week look for Gronk to return slightly ahead of the initial projected timeline. TURF BURNS Maurice Jones-Drew: MJD remains a long shot to play this week as he continues to recover from a midfoot sprain. He has missed eight consecutive games and the Jaguars have no incentive to play him in the final two games of the year. Ryan Mathews: A broken right collarbone delayed the start of his season and a broken left collarbone will end it. Mathews finishes the year with 707 yards and one touchdown. Torrey Smith: The Baltimore receiver sustained a concussion in the loss to the Broncos and will be subjected to the NFL concussion protocol before he will be cleared to play. Roddy White: White played through a minor knee injury Sunday and finished with just two catches for 16 yards. The Falcons play Saturday night so a short week is working against the receiver. Look for him to sit for most of the team's practices but be in uniform against the Lions. Adjust your expectations accordingly.

The Will County Board held its monthly meeting on February 21, 2013. Here are the highlights from that meeting:
- The Board recognized Black History month.
- A request by Boughton Materials, Inc. in Naperville to amend the local zoning map from A-1 to I-2 and/or for a special use permit to operate a concrete recycling facility was sounded defeated on a 25-0 vote. Boughton'srequest was fought by thousands of local residents in and around the area of the proposed facility. Boughton plans on challenging the Board's decision in the local courts.
- On the recommendation of the Finance Committee, the Board approved two intents to abate certain property taxes to local businesses.
- Several resolutions were passed authorizing approval of professional services agreements for local road projects. Monies obtained through the RTA tax funds were used to fund these projects.
- Two resolutions were passed, after amendment, establishing Will County's 2013 state and federal legislative agendas and priorities. Comments relating to the proposed third airport were withdrawn after some concerns were voiced that new board members were not given the opportunity to review the procedural history of the airport. So that portion of the legislative agenda was stricken and will be discussed on March 7 before the Committee of the Whole.
- Several appointments were approved by the Board, including that of Shawn T. Walsh, son of County Executive Larry Walsh. Shawn was appointed as Will County Regional Superintendent to fill the vacancy created when Jennifer Bertino-Tarrant resigned after being elected to the Illinois Legislature. Prior to his appointment Shaw was the Deputy Superintendent.
The next Will County Board meeting is Thursday, March 21, 2013 at 9:30 a.m. in the County Board Room, 2nd Floor of the Will County Office Building located at 302 N. Chicago Street, Joliet, Illinois. All Will County residents are invited to attend.
