Stranger In A Strange Land
9/20/2008 – Auburn 21, LSU 26 – Uh, Michigan is still 1-2
So. I have ventured into the heart of darkness to experience their football and have returned. Evaluations are in order but they should be prefaced with some context: college football is awesome. I have seen eighty-seven thousand people scream this at the top of their lungs:
I defy you to find another activity outside of speaking-in-tongues-style Christianity that can cause large masses of people to say "bodda getta, bodda getta, bodda getta bah." All of this should be prefaced with that truth. College football is awesome. What makes the ESSSS EEEEE CEEEE garbage so odious is its claim that college football outside of the SEC is not awesome. Going to Auburn was awesome. End of big picture opinion.
But I'm sure people are curious about how it compares, so some comparisons:
The chintziness. On a chintziness scale where Michigan is zero—pending the public shaming of whoever piped in RAWK MUSIC over the highlights at the end of the third quarter in the Miami game—and Michigan State is ten, Auburn is around a six.
- Jordan-Hare's advertising isn't too obnoxious, and the edifice itself is extremely nice.
- Aforementioned ridiculous college-only cheer.
- There is a freakin' eagle that flies around the stadium in the pregame.
- Related: "War Eagle" is way, way cooler than "Go Blue" and any other "GO BLANK" exhortation you care to name. War Eagle. Just say it. War Eagle.
- Tiger Walk, the first "team walks to stadium surrounded by fans" event, was really impressive.
- Despite having a couple of bands in the stands, evil recorded music was played over the PA on a regular basis.
- YMCA was one of these songs. YMCA. Come on! My Auburn compatriot said he wanted to run around telling everyone the song was about anonymous gay sex so they would stop, but he was nodding his head to the music just moments before.
- There is a band hype video. It's actually a really well done band hype video but the mere concept of it sent me into hysteric giggles. It also sort of worked, so I was simultaneously FIRED UP about Auburn's band and laughing. It was a weird 30 seconds.
- Auburn has a male cheerleader on a stand in front of the student section that acts like a hype man. He's got a mic, he exhorts the crowd to do things, and it's pretty meh.
- Exception to the non-obnoxious advertising: there's a video board with replays of every play, but sometimes instead of a replay there's an Under Armor commercial, which is a really good way to 1) get me to look at an ad and 2) swear a blood oath against whoever's running the ad.
It was nowhere near the Michigan State experience—if you've never been to MSU, their hype video ends with a computer-animated Sparty coming to life and blowing up a logo of the opposing team with frickin' eye lasers; also at one point they had this plastic chariot that looked like it was made of legos—but I'm a zealot about the piped-in music.
The noise level. We were in the upper deck, so determining if the vaunted SEC noise levels lived up to the hype was impossible. The organized pre-game cheers were pretty blasting all the way up there but I didn't get my face peeled off at any other time during the game.
Shockingly, on LSU's final drive—Auburn up one, this is a BFD—I stood up to yell at some point and had to sit back down sheepishly because no one else in the section was up. WTF? I sit in one of the oldest, lamest sections of Michigan Stadium and I personally guarantee you that if Michigan was up one with six minutes left and the other team had the ball, the section would be on their feet, gurgling out whatever noises their suppurating intestines could manage. This was a game-long issue. The noise levels in my immediate vicinity were no louder than I am used to. Maybe it's an upper deck thing.
The scoreboard. Auburn just has one video board but it's huge and in HD. It is killer. We need one. You have no idea.
However, I suggest that the awesome enormous HD scoreboard at Michigan Stadium should have SEC scores on it. Though Auburn was plenty happy to inform us that Utah had beaten Air Force 30-23 and Missouri had defeated mighty Buffalo 42-21, there was not a single Big Ten score, and the only Pac 10 score was the Georgia-Arizona State game.
The people. Auburn fans were friendly. There were some undercurrents of "Michigan sucks hur" but I took that more as a commentary on society than Auburn.
One thing became terribly annoying, though: "you guys are at the wrong game!" We heard this bon mot at least a dozen times. By the end when people would say it I would have one hand make the universal sign for "yap yap yap" and then have the other eat it violently. We get it. We're not from around here. We are probably aware of this fact.
I assume anyone in a random neutral college football shirt at Michigan Stadium is there to check it off his list of places to see a game before he dies, but apparently the idea of college football tourism is completely foreign to Auburn fans. Why? You have a freakin' eagle.
The coaches. After watching Auburn run what seemed like their eighth consecutive ineffective first down zone stretch with their pounding power back Ben Tate, I concluded that Tommy Tuberville is Lloyd Carr and he's trying to turn Tony Franklin into Mike DeBord.
Later this crystallized into a more general theory of offensive philosophy. Franklin kept running that zone stretch on first down, giving up expectation because of predictability, and hoped to make it back by catching LSU cheating for a big play. Debord was very similar with the zone left-zone left-zone left stuff. The idea is to execute well enough to eke out decent yardage and hit it big every once in a while when you break tendencies. To break tendencies you have to establish tendencies.
Rodriguez, meanwhile, seems diametrically opposed to this. His philosophy is based more on keeping the opponent guessing, whether it's on a play-to-play basis or within the play itself with the zone read. Auburn sort of ran a zone read but when you've got a lead-footed white guy and he's got no options other than a run you're not really threatening much. Rodriguez saw his quarterback's footspeed hampering that part of his offense and implemented that zone read keeper + late bubble screen combo we saw a couple times. I think Rodriguez hates the idea of establishing a tendency; he would prefer the defense to be uncertain at all times, even after Steven Threet's kept the ball.
And then there's Les Miles. At an early juncture when things were going well and LSU looked discombobulated, the Auburn blogger who kindly provided us with tickets sarcastically yelled out "run another trick play, Miles!" and I thought this was a very, very bad thing to tempt fate with. LSU, of course, would later run something I'd never seen before, a halfback pass off the fake-dive-pitch-outside play that would give them a go-ahead touchdown. The two plays before that were identical—someone must have held triangle—deep balls that exploited the same hole in the Auburn zone drops. There was also a successfully recovered onside kick. The Lesticles were in full force, and all of us from the Auburn guy to the three Michigan guys experienced a pang of regret that Miles hadn't ended up in Ann Arbor. The guy is legit.
The sign in the trash. If Georgia goes down and Matt Stafford has a bad game I assume some SEC blogger somewhere will have a use for this picture:
Go for it.
The exploding vein. An enormous black mark on Tuberville: not calling timeout once LSU had driven to around the Auburn 20. At that point they're either going to punch it in or get a makeable field goal attempt; with LSU down to a single timeout they would have little chance to get the ball back if they missed that field goal. You must preserve as much time as possible for a potential response. Instead, Tuberville let the clock run and was fortunate that LSU scored as quickly as it did; Auburn got the ball back with 1:03 and three timeouts instead of 1:43 and two or 2:15 and one.
Also, it was completely nonsensical to use Tate on all those first-half zone stretch plays when they've got a slashing McGuffie type in Brad Lester. Lester briefly enlivened the Auburn run game in the second half before an injury knocked him out.
The fandom. Auburn fans at the game itself were a weird combination of the nouveau Michigan fan who was completely frustrated with Lloyd Carr's coaching style and the old-school Michigan fan who can't stand this newfangled shotgun bullcrap, which was appropriate because their offense was that same weird fusion.
The best example of the latter: Auburn now does the thing where the team doesn't huddle, lines up, looks ready to snap the ball, relaxes, and then looks to the sideline for the call. Whenever Auburn would do this, an elderly Auburn fan was visibly, I-can't-set-the-time-on-this-damned-VCR agitated, throwing his hands in the air in disgust. This obvious discontent seemed to spread to the other oldsters around him as the game continued.
Overall, I got the sense that Auburn fans were a bit more fickle than Michigan fans, ready to turn on Tuberville when something went wrong and willing to turn back when something went right.
The pork and crawfish sausage we got at Winn-Dixie. Like college football, it was awesome.
West F-in' Jihad Epilogue
Rich Rodriguez had plenty of time to work on his "I am not Satan" talking points over the summer, since there was a 75% chance that any question he fielded was about 1) West Virginia, 2) Justin Boren, or 3) the squawking lawsuit kerfuffle. By the time Big Ten Media Days rolled around he had them down to a science: I just changed jobs. Everyone focuses on the one guy who left instead of the 99 who stayed. I can't talk about that because it's a lawsuit.
Meanwhile, various parties in the media incensed that Rodriguez either wasn't West Virginia's coach (WVU honks), was Michigan's coach (ND, MSU, OSU honks), or wasn't Bo Schembechler (Mike Rosenberg and others in the Detroit media) spent the summer decrying Rodriguez's selfish decision to forge ahead with the lawsuit at Michigan's expense.
A typical passage, this from Rosenberg:
This whole thing could have, and should have, been settled long ago. But RichRod was determined to fight West Virginia all the way to the bitter end. Anybody who has even driven past a law school knew he had no case, but that didn't matter to Rodriguez.
Martin should have told Rodriguez that this whole ordeal was embarrassing the university, and that the case was a lost cause. But Martin's legacy is in Rodriguez's hands, so he let his coach do whatever he wanted.
Even at the time this passage was transparent bunk, since the articles about Michigan's decision to settle plainly stated that Michigan had agreed to handle most of the buyout. Now thanks to an article in the Ann Arbor Observer and MVictors, we know the extent of that agreement:
"We've seen an email that went from [Rodriguez's] financial advisor, Mike Wilcox, to athletic director Martin on December fifteenth, 2007, confirming a conversation they'd had earlier that day," he says. "I believe it was cc'ed to Mary Sue Coleman. It said that the liquidated damages clause with West Virginia was a huge issue, and that the U of M had agreed that they were going to be responsible for I think it was seventy-five percent of the buyout, up to 2.5 million dollars." The email was sent one day after the Toledo meeting that led to Rodriguez's hiring.
The rest of the excerpted passage discusses Michigan's extreme reluctance to allow that agreement to find its way into the light, as knowledge of its existence would trash their case. They lost that battle and immediately settled.
The particulars:
- The Michigan AD is on the hook for 75% of the buyout and successfully fought a portion of the exact same clause in John Beilein's contract.
- As soon as Michigan realizes they can't win the case, they settle.
Somehow this adds up to "Rodriguez forced this lawsuit on the athletic department" and is worthy of condemnation because of the negative publicity associated with it.
Anyone who espouses this line of reasoning is either ignorant of the particulars or is so far around the bend on Rich Rodriguez that they should be ignored.
Meanwhile in Morgantown, Rich Rodriguez's problems with the West Virginia athletic department and administration become more understandable by the day:
These people are &#$@ing amateurs.
OMG Pantsless, OMG Hopeless
Two pictures that somehow summarize the directions of two linked programs follow. Be careful with your eyebrows, folks.
There have been a lot of changes in Michigan's program over the last few months, ranging from the expected (lots of shotgun, zone read option) to the… well…
…unexpected profusion of naked freshmen. Earlier this year we had the assortment of shirtless helmeted guys; now we've got freshman wideout Terrance Robinson without a helmet. Or anything else except an arched eyebrow and all that promises in the way of smooth jazz and smoother lovin'.
Meanwhile, this screencap will haunt Bill Stewart for the rest of time.
There's nothing more to say. This is Bill Stewart, now and forever. It's over.
Unverified Voracity Veins Veins Veins
Wish me luck. I am going to be out of pocket this weekend: I'm going to the LSU-Auburn game with some friends. Fortunately I'm going to be in the part of the state that doesn't want to string me up, so I should be okay. I don't think it will disturb posting schedules too much but today and Monday might be a little light.
Obviously, there has not been a UFR as promised. I'm through most of the game and it will be up Monday/Tuesday next week.
Oh. My. God. I have veins in my head labeled "rupture in case of clock management malfeasance" that I have to get replaced on a weekly basis every fall, but holy God I have never seen anything quite as inept as "Coach Stew" screwing around with the clock last night.
So Colorado and West Virginia are tied 14-14 and West Virginia is putting together a potential gamewinning drive. They're on the 50 with 1:10 left and two timeouts. (4th Q PBP.)On first down they hit Devine for four yards and let the clock run. This would be fine if you could get to the line with a play ready to go; instead WVU burns 25-30 seconds screwing around. After getting stuffed for the fifth or sixth time on short yardage, they run the clock down to four seconds and try a Hail Mary. Erin Andrews then describes the scene on the sideline as "chaos… carnage… limbs everywhere, disorganization… blood".
- How do you burn 30 seconds like that in your two-minute drill?
- How do you not have the ability to pick up a QB sneak or even a short yardage play four or five times in a game?
- How do you see yourself stuffed four or five times on runs up the gut on third and short and not, I dunno, try anything else?
And oh my god the sideline interviews. You just know, don't you? You, the college football viewer, have seen dozens and dozens of successful college football coaches and not one of them is like Bill Stewart in any way whatsoever.
Prediction: in two or three years there will be a post on this blog attempting to decide what was the most obviously terrible hire in college football history: Bobby Williams or Bill Stewart? (I guess you can throw Gerry Faust in there, too.)
Again with the high school football. Jeremy Gallon and Apopka take on Mississippi powerhouse South Panola tonight on ESPNU at 8. I don't get ESPNU and will probably be in Alabama by then, anyway, but if anyone's got it and can compile a set of Gallon clips that would be excellent.
Oh, snap. I guess you can do this when you're USC and you've just bombed Ohio State 35-3, but man these guys are carpet bombing the Buckeyes with incendiary quotes:
"Easy" was one word defensive end Kyle Moore used after missing practice two days last week with back spasms before having the game of his life (eight tackles, a fumble recovery, two tackles for loss for 19 yards, including a sack for 15).
"You can tell they don't practice full speed," Moore said of the massive Buckeyes who made it "easy" to fly past them.
"They were still getting into their (first blocking) move, and we'd already be into our second move (on defense) and past them," Moore said.
Conference solidarity only applies when you're not trying to scratch out a Motor City Bowl bid, so: ha-ha.
Argh why would you call a backwards pass? The header to the left was a common complaint in the aftermath of the first disastrous fumble of many disastrous fumbles. This complaint is answered simply: no one called a backwards pass.
Rodriguez clarified that in the weekly Big Ten teleconference thingy:
We want to throw it in front of the receiver, and when you do that it's obviously a forward pass, not a lateral.
That's mostly on Threet then, not Minor.
Who's on what then? I'll have my piece on this in UFR, but Varsity Blue takes a look at the long Tate touchdown, concluding thusly:
The blame for this touchdown does not fall on Stevie Brown. Repeat: Stevie Brown is not culpable. He wasn't exactly stellar the rest of the day, but don't rag on the kid for this touchdown. Our good friend GSimmons (a high school DC who runs Shafer's 3-4 Okie package as his base defense and also knows much more about football than I ever will) lets us know that it appears Michigan is running a read-2 defense, which is a form of cover-2-like-substance. Morgan Trent sees Tate head inside, leading him to believe that Tate will not be a deep vertical threat. Because of this error in judgment, Trent does not cover a deep half, which allows Tate to get behind the defenders.
A commenter protests that gsimmons' meaning is not clear and the man himself descends to clarify:
I don't see Stevie Brown being responsible for a deep zone, if its man, he has back out of the backfield, if its three roll, he has flats, if its 2 read, he has underneath responsibility, one thing for sure, its not a deep quarter zone, you can tell by his alignment, and his eyes.
While I'm not going to dispute gsimmons' assertions about the coverages, I do think that there is a possibility Brown's alignment and eyes were screwed up because he was running the wrong coverage.
Hello: Craig Roh
Arizona DE Craig Roh has committed to Michigan. Informative update coming.
Roh's guru ratings are, on average, slightly better than Anthony LaLota, who committed last week. Roh will be a weakside compliment to Lalota, who's already around 260 and will probably play at at least 270. Roh's around 225, more of an edge rusher. ESPN bot Tom Luginbill:
"He is a prospect who plays smart and displays good recognition skills and instincts for the game and puts himself into positions to be successful on the field. He can quickly get off the ball and be violent with his hands. He has good speed and can pressure the quarterback. He is also a well-rounded prospect who also excels in the classroom with a 4.3 GPA."
ESPN's scouting report($) is weirdly reserved for a guy who is in their top 100 and will play in their All Star game this winter:
Roh is a productive and sound player. As he physically develops he has the tools to be a good and accountable defensive player at the college level. He may not always be the most athletic kid lined up, but he knows how to play the game and get himself in situations to be successful.
WTF? That reads more like the scouting report for a guy they give a three-star-equivalent rating. They mention the need to "add bulk," FWIW.
And your weekly dose of eeeeeeee Barwis:
"He's out-of-this-world good," Roh said of Michigan's new conditioning guru. "He was the most impressive strength and conditioning coach I've seen. He's very outside the box. They don't just do ordinary lifting, and that really impressed me."
Roh's final five was impressive: Michigan, USC, UCLA, Nebraska, and Arizona State. Other suitors were numerous: 40+ offers including Notre Dame, Oklahoma, Miami, Arkansas, Tennessee, Missouri, LSU, Texas, and the entire Pac10.
99 tackles and 15.5 sacks as a junior, garnering all-state recognition.
Roh's listed 40 is 4.72, which actually seems feasible given his stature.
Highlights from last year:
And there's also some free AMP video of Roh and a number of others doing one-on-one DE/OL drills at USC's camp, and an interview he did with Scout.
Well, the kid is a top 100 recruit with offers from just about everyone. That's good. The add-bulk thing might dictate a redshirt, but only if Brandon Graham sticks around for his senior year. Without that luxury we'll probably see Roh on the field as a slight but explosive pass-rushing DE that tantalizes with the occasional big play.
Think Tim Jamison, who flew up recruiting boards his senior year to be rated even slightly above where Roh is currently hanging out. It'll be interesting to see his development under Barwis as opposed to Gittleson; hopefully his big strong muscles are the things getting developed instead of his spare tire.
Michigan's severe need at defensive end has been met in under a week by two high-rated players with offers from a who's who of college football programs. Huzzah! Assuming Michigan re-acquires the commitment of five-star DT Will Campbell, Michigan will have a full defensive line of four-star-plus prospects. Score.
The only potential downer: Lalota, who just started playing last year, and Roh, who needs to add weight, might need a year or two before they're ready to go. With Michigan's tendency to rotate defensive ends and the lack of options in front of him they might not have that luxury.
As far the rest of the class goes: Michigan's still in the running for a variety of other guys, including a top-50 type in SC DE Sam Montgomery, and may take a third. The next guy on commitment watch is Cass Tech safety Thomas Gordon; past that Michigan needs a couple more guys in the secondary and another OL or two.
Etc.: Varsity Blue also has a Roh recap; Chaparral has an impressive official site for a high school; more photos.
Shirt Screwup Sale
Okay, so we put up the Bo T-Shirt during the summer and a lot of people purchased it. Then they waited because Rich Robots was switching providers and printers and this didn't go very well. These people got shirts, but very late, and they were charged very early.
Then we got a note from the Bo foundation/organization/paramilitary threatening to sue the begeezus out of us so we had to take the shirt down. We're currently trying to work something out with them, but I'm told things aren't looking great on that front. (But Bo can have his own merlot, which is a little mindboggling.)
This meant a large number of people who had not received the shirt sat there waiting and never got one and only got a refund eventually.
This is Not Good, and we're sorry. In an attempt to make it up to you, we've got a three-pronged attack:
- Anyone who ended up waiting an unacceptable amount of time and did not get a shirt should have a refund. If you don't, please email me. This summer I'm going to implement a "subscription" option that will remove the ads for anyone who signs up; these people will get two-year freebies.
- MGoStore is having a "no, seriously, we actually do make and send out shirts" sale. Everything is 25% off until September 30th. The sale code: "MGoBlog Autumn".
- We're also implementing a contest: every week the best diary entry as chosen by yrs truly, will get their diary bumped to the front page and a shirt of their choice for free. The start of a week is defined as Saturday; the diary contest will run weekly during the season and monthly the rest of the year.
Now is the time to get your "Bow Down, Little Brother" shirt.

BRISTOL, Conn. (AP) — Barnes Group Inc., which makes parts for aerospace and other industries, said Friday that it will sell its North American distribution business to MSC Industrial Direct Co. for $550 million. Shares of both companies rose on the news.
Barnes Group also named a new chief executive officer and reported improved fourth-quarter earnings.
The company said Patrick Dempsey, the company's current chief operating officer, will replace the retiring Gregory Milzcik, its CEO since 2006.
The appointment of Dempsey, 48, is effective March 1. Milzcik will remain with the company through May 3 in the role of executive vice chairman to help with the transition, Barnes said.
The sale of the North American distribution is expected to close in late March, or early in the second quarter of 2013, Barnes said.
Barnes said the Cleveland-based business provides inventory management, technical sales and supply chain services for maintenance, repair, operating and production supplies. It employs about 1,400 people and posted 2012 revenue of about $300 million.
Barnes said it expects the after-tax proceeds from the sale to total about $400 million. Part of that will be used to reduce debt, buyback stock, invest in growth initiatives and for general corporate purposes.
MSC, which is based in Melville, N.Y., is a major distributor of metalworking and maintenance supplies to industrial customers. It said the acquisition to boost its fiscal 2014 earnings by 15 cents to 20 cents per share and fiscal 2015 earnings by 30 cents to 40 cents per share. Most of the costs related to the deal will be incurred in fiscal years 2013 and 2014, the company said.

Environment: Content from Across the ABC
06 Jul 2015 6:55:27pm
Australians 'want action on carbon' because they have been completely mislead as to its role in the world and its crucial role in supporting life.
Carbon dioxide is NOT a pollutant. It is the vital component in the growth of plants by photosynthesis. Were it reduced to zero or to anything approaching zero all plant growth would stop and we would all starve to death. Correspondingly, when it increases plant growth increases and food availability is improved. Has anyone in the IPCC calculated by how much food production would fall if CO2 were to return to around 300 ppm? It would mean a great deal of hunger.
Higher CO2 will do much more good than harm - especially in Australia. It will mean more rain, less drought and more food. Average temperature will be slightly higher but you can test the effect for yourself right now by moving a modest distance northwards, e.g. from the Gold to the Sunshine Coast. If you live on a hill, moving 100 metres lower down the slope will have the same result.
We should all be thankful that the politicians have fumbled this issue. It gives us a chance to return to reality.

The Giants Causeway is a region located at the tip of Northern Ireland and is renowned world wide for its beauty and unique geological qualities. The region is made of a volcanic rock called basalt which flowed out of the earths crust some 50-60 million years ago. When it cooled and solidified the chemical elements in the basalt formed approximately some 40,000 geometric, mostly hexagonal, shapes.

A visit from Napa's state senator, Lois Wolk, ignited some intense debate at New Technology High School this week.
Wolk stopped by New Tech on Monday for a school tour and to visit a political studies class as a special guest.
During her classroom visit, Wolk encouraged students to ask questions — no topic was off limits. At first, the questions varied — one student asked about immigration, another asked about women in the Legislature. But what really got students talking was the issue of privacy versus cyberbullying.

Originally written on Pro Sports Daily | Last updated 2/3/13
TORONTO -- As he so often does, LeBron James took over Sunday's game late in the fourth quarter, and he did it in a variety of ways. His rebound and pass set up a big 3-pointer from the corner by Chris Bosh to put the Miami Heat ahead by seven points. Then James stole a pass by Toronto Raptors point guard Kyle Lowry and took it the other way for a driving dunk, putting the Heat on their way to a 100-85 victory before a crowd of 19,800 at Air Canada Centre. Heat head coach Erik Spoelstra said James' ability to dominate the late minutes might be overlooked. "We don't take that for granted because we know how valuable he is," Spoelstra said. "But around the league that probably goes under the radar. In terms of a guy dominating in the last three to four minutes, he was being a facilitator. It speaks to how competitive he is and what kind of winning plays he can make." James finished with 30 points, eight rebounds and seven assists as the Heat defeated the Raptors for the...

Riot police were deployed after up to 100 people breached security and tried to run up the ramp of the cross-Channel ferry.
Migrants were foiled from getting on board the MyFerryLink-operated Berlioz vessel when the crew raised the ramp and turned a fire hose on them on Wednesday, officials and a witness said. A MyFerryLink spokesman said: "MyFerryLink can confirm that an incident took place in Calais, whereby several migrants entered the port and attempted to board the MyFerryLink Berlioz.
"The crew took immediate action to ensure the ship's security and the attempt was unsuccessful."
A spokesman for ferry operator P&O, whose vessel Spirit Of Britain was not stormed, said: "We approached the port and witnessed the migrants. Our crew remained in the inner harbour and didn't tie up until we were able to do so."
One passenger, John Bailey, said he saw a large crowd of migrants on the main access road being guarded by French police, some armed with sub-machine guns.
A UK Border Force spokesman said the ramps on the vessel were immediately raised when a number of migrants entered the port, and none was able to board.
He added: "All freight vehicles inside the port at the time have been rescreened by Border Force."

Otters get enough sleep for sweep of twin bill
EVANSVILLE - If it were something other than Frontier League baseball, the Supreme Court would rule it cruel and unusual punishment.
Instead, it's called a scheduled doubleheader between the Evansville Otters and the River City Rascals at Bosse Field on the heels of a Saturday night game at the Lake Erie Crushers.
The Otters lost that one 6-2, their fifth straight setback on the road, then had to board a bus to drive overnight to Evansville from near Toledo, Ohio. Then they started two games with the Rascals at 4:35 p.m. Sunday.
"We got back to Bosse Field at 6 a.m.," said Evansville's first-game starter, Garrett Bullock. "That's not too bad for me if I know I'm starting the next day. I think it's harder for the position players. But when you get into minor league baseball you know that's what you're getting into."
It didn't seem to matter out of the gate, as the Otters got three runs in the third inning and Bullock put up all zeros until the last inning of a seven-inning game that Evansville eventually would win 4-1.
Then the Otters scored two runs in the bottom of the seventh of the nightcap on run-scoring singles from Nick Schwaner and Steve Marino to force extra innings before they won 3-2 in 10 innings.
Greg Fontenot, who was the hitting star of the first game with two hits and three RBIs, got the game-winning single in the nightcap, his only hit in five at bats.
"That was much needed after a dismal road trip," said Otters manager Andy McCauley. "The guys really battled and came back in the ninth inning of that second game. But that's the way they've been playing. They've been working hard all year."
Bullock said getting back to Bosse Field, even with the cruel scheduling quirk, was exactly what the Otters needed.
"It's tough for everybody," he said. "But it's a big momentum changer to come back here where we're more comfortable. Everybody prefers play
ing here.
"Skip (McCauley) just told us to get quality at bats offensively and then for us to get shut down innings when we got some runs. Then after we got those three I was able to keep putting up zeros."
McCauley hopes this is just what the Otters needed to start their biggest homestand of the year.
"A sweep like this could get us going," he said. "Even the last two games at Lake Erie we had quality at bats, we just didn't score enough runs.
"Now we're back at Bosse Field and sleeping in our own beds. We started the year with 15 of 18 on the road and now we play 15 of 18 at home. This is a very good way to start with two good starts (from Bullock and Matt Crim). Now we need another quality start (tonight)."

Baptist Pastor Sean Harris is unapologetic for the remarks he made during a sermon that was a part of the Vote For Marriage NC campaign, a movement encouraging voters in North Carolina to vote against gay marriage.
Harris, who has become known as the Amendment 1 pastor, said:
So your little son starts to act a little girlish when he is 4 years old and instead of squashing that like a cockroach and saying, "Man up, son, get that dress off you and get outside and dig a ditch, because that is what boys do," you get out the camera and you start taking pictures of Johnny acting like a female and then you upload it to YouTube and everybody laughs about it. And the next thing you know, this dude, this kid is acting out childhood fantasies that should have been squashed.
Can I make it any clearer? Dads, the second you see your son dropping the limp wrist, you walk over there and crack that wrist. Man up. Give him a good punch. OK? You are not going to act like that. You were made by God to be a male and you are going to be a male.
And when your daughter starts acting too butch, you rein her in. And you say, "Oh, no, sweetheart. You can play sports. Play them to the glory of God. But sometimes you are going to act like a girl and walk like a girl and talk like a girl and smell like a girl, and that means you are going to be beautiful. You are going to be attractive. You are going to dress yourself up.
Harris has been the subject of scorn since that sermon. The liberal media have made the preacher out to be an advocate of child abuse and gay bullying.
Those who think his message was too violent have sent him death threats. Others have protested outside of the Berean Baptist Church, Harris' congregation. Police are still patrolling and protecting the area.
The mainstream media have expected an apology, but they have not received it.
Harris recently appeared on CNN's "Anderson Cooper 360."
"I was telling them in strong words that were not careful. What did I learn this week? Be more careful with your words," said Harris.
He said he would have used the word "straighten" instead of "crack."
"It's amazing how 'punch' has been equated with inciting violence against gay youth. That's not what I meant."
When CNN correspondent David Mattingly asked "what exactly" he meant, Harris said: "A shove, an affirmation. You see coaches give their players a good punch, a good slug. It's a way of affirming the gender distinctions between a male and a female. I was apologizing for my failure to say the right thing, to be more careful. …I don't even believe there are such thing as gay children. …I don't think I need to apologize for preaching to my people what the word of God says. That's my responsibility."
Mattingly said: "I heard a few 'Amens' on that recording."
Harris replied: "Yeah, because they knew what I meant."
Harris is not alone in his stance on gay marriage. North Carolina became the 31st State to add an amendment on marriage to its constitution. Vote For Marriage NC, the group with which Berean Baptist Church was aligned, raised more than $1 million.
The Rev. Mark Harris, president of the Baptist State Convention of North Carolina, said: "The involvement of the local churches across this state was absolutely the turning point."
Minnesota, Maine, Maryland and Washington will be voting on gay marriage rights in November.

2 Nigeria journalists charged after polio killings
Newspapers and radio stations also often hold off paying journalists their salaries for months at a time. That forces reporters to make money from selling advertising to those they cover or through collecting so-called "brown envelope" bribes slipped into briefing materials at news conferences.
Mohamed Keita, an official with the Committee to Protect Journalists in New York, said his organization is investigating the circumstances surrounding the journalists' prosecution.
"We are troubled by the detentions of journalists insofar as there appears to be no evidence linking their program to the murderous attacks on the polio clinics," Keita said. "We call on Nigerian authorities to afford the journalists due process under the law."

My first swedish pair
Pattie Reaves
from Lewiston, ME
on 2/5/2013
I didn't know how a swedish pair would work, so I bought this and a pair of regular goggles.It's been about 7 workouts and I haven't even opened the regular pair. Don't pay any more for goggles! These are super comfortable and the best fit I've ever had.

Premium or BUST!
Jon A.
from Westervile, OH
on 2/25/2014
Swedish goggles are notorious for putting pressure on the eyes or scratching the edges of your eyes, but the Sporti Premium Swedish goggles have a small silicone seal that is perfect for extended wear and comfort. The rubber strap eventually deteriorates so it's nice to have the bungee strap as a backup. Overall, spend the extra money and get the silicone seal!
More comfortable than the original
Natalie G.
from Los Angeles, CA
on 7/5/2013
Makes swimming at night look clear as day. The rubber around the yes are almost unnoticeable, but definitely make a difference from the originals. I wish these came in the metallized version.
Perfect for Feferi Peixes from Homestuck!
from Pittsfield, MA
on 1/23/2013
I bought these for a cosplay from the webcomic Homestuck by Andrew Hussie They work great! Not a single scratch!They shipped well too, very easy to order.
Love these goggles
Luke W.
from SAN DIEGO, CA
on 3/21/2014
In the pool I use the Arena Swedix but these goggles are much more suitable for open water. They provide just enough smoke to take the glare off the water but not so much that you can't see on foggy days.Only reason for 4 vs 5 stars: the goggles last forever, the straps are a different story. Not a big deal, just keep extra straps on hand.
Good goggle for price!
Patrick O.
from North Kingstown, RI
on 3/5/2014
Bought two pairs of these goggles to keep my swim bag for backups and recently started using one as my primary set of goggles. For the price you cannot beat this goggle they are functional not the most comfortable goggle out there but they rarely leak and they do the job.
Love it or Hate it - The Swed Type Goggle Hurts
from Maine
on 12/29/2013
My son says that these goggles hurt his face after a swim team practice. He will not wear them. Too bad, cause there is nothing wrong with the goggle or the price.
great products
Regina R.
from FREMONT, MI
on 12/22/2013
these are used for swim team and are great
My son loves them
Momma D
from Kingwood TX
on 11/11/2013
My son had trouble with normal goggles falling off when he dives in. These have helped with that problem. He finds them very comfortable. He is nine years old. The only problem he had is they are actually orange, not amber, like we ordered. But now that he has tried them, he doesn't care about the color. I'm sure I could have returned them but there was no need.
Best Goggles
from BETHALTO, IL
on 9/4/2013
These have no seal to break, they just work and hold up for a long time.I don't know why they provide the extra corded strap, but Hey, you may be able to use it for something. I always seem to find someone without goggles. These are great to give or lend because they are so inexpensive.
good quality and great price
from oHIO
on 4/30/2015
Very comfortable. I like the optional bungee cord as well.
excellent product, excellent price
from colorado
on 4/7/2015
a great swim goggle and incredibly inexpensive.
from San Diego, CA
on 3/5/2015
These goggles are much better than I thought they'd be, judging by the past reviews; they don't leak as much as the amber pair of normal Swedish goggles I got and they are perfectly shaded. I may not buy more of these, but this pair works well and I will continue to use them.
from Millstadt Illinois
on 2/13/2015
They are exactly what i wanted and work great. They are more comfortable then the pairs i owned before.
Great Goggles
Master Swimmer :)
from Fairfax, VA
on 1/18/2015
Easy to use - and very comfy - if you like Swedish goggles (which I do)Wash them well after use - do not touch the inside and do NOT rub them...the anti-fog stops working otherwise...
As always - great goggles
nice swedes, but needs more smoke
from New Hampshire
on 1/15/2015
The smoke goggles weren't dark at all, unlike what I would expect.Otherwise they're nice goggles.
Silicone makes the difference
John B
from Atlanta, GA
on 1/14/2015
So glad to see these back in stock I ordered several sets. The silicone is just enough to add comfort and water tight fit. They also have been redesigned without the bar on the outside edge of the goggle so you can see all around you.
Great Goggles!
from Spokane, WA
on 1/8/2015
I was very happy with these goggles. I have always used swedes but I have never used one with a gasket. These are a little more comfy and I appreciated the bungee that is included with the purchase. Normally bungees are extremely difficult to run through the original sweedish goggles, but the bungee included here is a little thinner and the holes on the goggles are a little wider so it was very easy to set up. If you are new to using swedes, don't give up on them right away if they are uncomfortable, you will get used to it. And I never had these come off during a race.

Reply+3#7 to #3 - LaBarata (02/18/2011) [-]
It's X Men. The kid tied to the chair is Leech. Rogue can't have any physical contact with other people because it'll most likely kill them. However, Leech's power is that he nullifies all powers within a certain area. Basically, having him around means that she can touch people. Yes, I'm a geek. Get over it.

Tagged: Gaza
A new book on the international aid flotilla attacked by Israel sets the record straight.
If you're upset about the unemployment rate, don't blame immigrants.
In the aftermath of the Gaza flotilla in May, a powerful new alliance may be emerging in the Middle East.
Learning what actually transpired during Israel's attack on the Gaza Flotilla was apparently of little interest to the majority of congress which signed a letter in its defense.
Israel has put together a committee to look into its recent flotilla attack. Is Washington's support for this less-than-independent inquiry a quid pro quo for Israel's reducing its blockade of Gaza?
Rhetoric and bombast can create its own reality and lead to a crisis.
Instead of pinning the blame on Israel for flotilla tragedy, congressional Democrats are leaping to Israel's defense.
What were Tel Aviv's decision makers thinking?
There's plenty to criticize in Turkey's conduct. But is it really an evil puppet master?

Sharp invests $1.5 billion in LCD TV boomJanuary 12, 2005
Gizmo shopping in JapanOctober 14, 2004
The new liquid crystal display, which should hit stores this month, will be the first mass-produced monitor capable of displaying different images at the same time depending on the angle at which viewers are watching, Sharp said on Thursday.
Sharp says the technology, which it calls "two-way viewing-angle LCD," is useful for a number of things. For instance, one person could watch a TV program while another surfs the Web with the same monitor. In a car, the monitor might display a map for the driver while playing a movie for passengers.
The screen could also function as a double-duty billboard, displaying different advertisements at the same time. A salesperson could use it for meetings with customers, keeping certain confidential data from view, Sharp said.
However, watching different TV shows or movies at the same time creates a problem--overlapping sound. For that, viewers would presumably need to wear headphones, which might make movie night with the family a little awkward.
The dual-image LCD will cost about twice as much as Sharp's standard display, according to an Associated Press report. Sharp representatives were not immediately available to discuss pricing.
The technology that enables the device is called a "parallax barrier." When superimposed on the LCD, it causes "the light from the backlight to separate into right and left directions, which makes possible a display in which the view differs depending on the angle at which the screen is viewed," Sharp said in a statement.

- Narrow scope
- Its some cool innovation, no doubt. I seriously doubt if it will make any dent in home entertainment. You don't want to spend a lot and then not watch somethign together with your family. And its too much of a hassle for home use. You always have to sit on one side of your room to watch ! I do see good scope in the screen being used for advertising display, yes.

Winter is one of the hardest but most beautiful times of year to camp. Stop by this clinic and learn what to bring and what to do during these cold months. By the end, you will be able to safely and properly prepare for a camping trip during the winter months.
Wilderness First Responder
The Wilderness First Responder (WFR) is the perfect course for anyone working in a position of leadership in an outdoor setting or for individuals who want a high level of wilderness medical training for extended personal backcountry trips or expeditions. The WFR course is 72-80 hours long (7 to 10 days), and is a comprehensive and in-depth look at the standards and skills of dealing with: Response and Assessment, Musculoskeletal Injuries, Environmental Emergencies and Survival Skills, Soft Tissue Injuries, and Medical Emergencies. Although these appear to be the same basic topics covered in our two-day WFA course, they are covered far more extensively, with much more hands-on practice. Additional topics, such as CPR, are also included.
Stand Up Paddleboarding
Stand Up Paddling (SUP) is the fastest growing paddle sport in the world. It combines the thrill of exploring with a great total body workout. With our new SUP boards, OA offers a variety of classes, trips, lessons, and tours. No experience is needed and everyone is welcome to this exciting new sport!
Sea Kayaking
Skimming over the surface of the water, experiencing the aquatic environment in a way that remained largely unchanged for the last 8,000 years, all while getting an incredible workout. Whether you've never been in a boat before or you've grown up with a paddle in your hand, get out of the library and join us for a day of fun kayaking.
