No current Talk conversations about this book.
I really liked this book... Most of it. So I'll start with what I disliked.
I disliked the amount of adjectives and adverbs and unnessecary descriptives in this book. It's over 500 pages and every time I found something unnecessary ("he tossed it through the open window" - of course it's open! How could he toss it through a closed window?) I was a little irritated.
I disliked a lot of the side stories. I liked Pella as a character, she was interesting, but her presence was mostly unnecessary, and it felt like she was thrown in there to make the bug less macho. This book could have been simplified and I think I would have liked it more - usually I love books with multiple characters and intersecting stories.
But this is a book about baseball, and Harbach is an incredible baseball writer. Harbach is so good at writing about baseball that I couldn't put this book down when I was reading those sections. I was as absorbed as if I had been listening to a game on the radio. I hung into every word. I slumped back in my seat and cringed and rubbed my hands over my face when something bad happened. I gripped the book with white knuckles as I waited to find out if the high arc of the ball of the bat would be a home run or get caught and merely be an out. I could not have reacted much more strongly if I had been watching the game. (Slightly embarrassing, as I read some of this in a cafe.)
And when he isn't describing games, he talks about the beauty of the game, and the nuances. He talks about young players for whom the game is so much more than a game, but he also portrays an older man who finds baseball boring and then slowly begins to see some of the beauty in it. The symbolism is present but not overdone, or over-important. You can take it or leave it, symbolism or no, it's also just a game.
So mostly, I wish Harbach had left out a little of the growing pains and the heartache and heartbreak and complicated character web. I wish there had been a bit more balance (at times it seemed like the baseball wasn't necessary). I wanted this book to be more purely baseball.
Maybe if I'm lucky, he'll write another book that will be.
4 stars
This is one of the rare ones where I race to the finish the first time, just to find out what happens, and then immediately go back and start sections again, just to savor the prose. Understand me: I wouldn't call this "literary fiction," exactly--it's too real-world and action-y for that label, I think. But the language SINGS in places, sailing a high, hard one past you at times or giving you a low, dirty slider at others. Beautiful, beautiful book. I can't believe it's a debut novel. (The 1 star off is because the midsection of the book drags just the teeniest bit, and some of the goings on are a little over-the-top.)
This is the story of:
--Henry Skrimshander, a shortstop with infinite potential who's recruited by a small private Divison III college that has never won a championship
--Mike Schwartz, team captain, informal scout, and leader of men, who thinks he's going to apply for law school
--Guert Affenlight, president of the college, an academic who's struck by love late in life
--Pella Affenlight, Guert's daughter, who's returned home after a failed marriage and is now a bit adrift
--Owen Dunne (the Buddha), Henry's gay roommate, teammate, and partner in crime, who Has a Secret
For the first third of the book, Henry is becoming the best shortstop who's ever played the game, tying his idol's record for error-free games and getting scouted by the big leagues. It all goes wrong with one throw, though, and the rest of the book covers the fallout as the team heads for the playoffs for the first time in the college's history.
This book works on many levels: the classic everything-hangs-on-the-last-game sports story; the small-town isolated college pressure cooker; young adults learning about themselves in relationships; the stamina required in the drive to be the best; academic bullshit; and sports politics, among others. I'd heartily recommend this book for baseball junkies (male AND female), those who root for underdogs, fans of small towns (especially in the Midwest), and those nostalgic for their college days. This book hits all these bases, and more. Home run.
Great characters, fine writing, and fun to read, especially in summer!
Chad Harbach's debut novel begins strong, creating a world the reader easily becomes immersed in and introducing characters that one wants to get to know better. The writing is smooth and flowing, at once simple and sweeping, while he's not John Irving, it's easy to see why the novel has brought to mind Irving for many readers.
However, somewhere past the middle near the end the novel began to drag for me. I still cared about the characters but the events didn't really seem plausible. Or perhaps, the characters weren't complex or deep enough to absorb the events that occur. In any case, several developments felt unlikely and ultimately made the ending far less satisfying.
I don't believe in reviews that give spoilers, but suffice it to say that the catalyst for the protagonist's crisis is never really addressed in any real way that makes sense. Likewise, his roommate is immensely intriguing but never grows to be much more, despite his fairly pivotal role in the novel.
Still, it wasn't an entirely bad read and I'm not sorry I spent time reading it. But it felt like it could've been shorter and towards the end I just wanted to be done with it. If I do get Harbach's next novel I'll likely purchase the Kindle edition instead of splurging on the hardcover.
Every page of the writing in this campus baseball novel is absorbing, every character seems larger than life, and in some cases mythic figures that will live on off the page, and many of the psychological insights into their lives are uncannily observed. But all of this is embedded in a novel that is a little bit too long with a plot and some scenes that are a little bit too trite. But the good aspects more than made up for this and even picking up the book to read a few pages was exciting and enjoyable.
The book revolves around five characters: three baseball players at Westish college (a sort of Midwestern Amherst), the President of the college, and his daughter. Their lives collide and intersect in interesting ways after the star shortstop, Henry Skrimshander, makes an error. All of which happens with the contours of a relatively conventional baseball novel and campus novel, infused with homages to Melville (who in the book once visited Westish college on a lecture tour).
The book is a throwback to a bygone, if not universally mourned era when charismatic white male novelists wrote intelligent bestsellers, and one senses that it is intentionally so....It is a work of stridently unexperimental psychological realism, featuring likeable characters with cute nicknames, dramatic events that change people's lives, easily identified and fully consummated narrative arcs, transparently conversational prose and big, obvious metaphors.
Chad Harbach's The Art of Fielding cross-breeds two genres with limited gene pools, the baseball novel and the campus novel, and comes up with a vigorous hybrid, entertaining and engrossing, though almost absurdly high-minded.
It's easy to see why The Art of Fielding has done so well: it is charming, warm-hearted, addictive, and very hard to dislike....
The Art of Fielding feels like a novel from another, more innocent age. It revels in themes that have been unfashionable in literary fiction for generations – team spirit, male friendship, making the best of one's talents. In its optimism and lack of cynicism, in its celebration of the wide open spaces of the Midwest and its confidence in the deep inner meaning of baseball, it is a big American novel of the old school....
...it creates a richly peopled world that you can fully inhabit in your mind, and to which you long to return when you put it down.
Centering on an imaginary northern Wisconsin private school and its baseball star-in-the-making Henry Skrimshander, Harbach sidesteps much of the familiar mythmaking that can go along with spinning the American pastime into literature and instead delivers a rich, warmly human story that resonates even if you have no idea what a 6-4-3 double play looks like.
Chad Harbach makes the case for baseball, thrillingly, in his slow, precious and altogether excellent first novel, "The Art of Fielding."

Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0316126691, Hardcover)
Amazon Best Books of the Month, September 2011: Though The Art of Fielding is his fiction debut, Chad Harbach writes with the self-assurance of a seasoned novelist. He exercises a masterful precision over the language and pacing of his narrative, and in some 500 pages, there's rarely a word that feels out of place. The title is a reference to baseball, but Harbach's concern with sports is more than just a cheap metaphor. The Art of Fielding explores relationships--between friends, family, and lovers--and the unpredictable forces that complicate them. There's an unintended affair, a post-graduate plan derailed by rejection letters, a marriage dissolved by honesty, and at the center of the book, the single baseball error that sets all of these events into motion. The Art of Fielding is somehow both confident and intimate, simple yet deeply moving. Harbach has penned one of the year's finest works of fiction.--Kevin Nguyen

"At Westish College, a small school on the shore of Lake Michigan, baseball star Henry Skrimshander seems destined for big-league stardom. But when a routine throw goes disastrously off course, the fates of five people are upended."--from publisher's description.… (more)

What's in a name?
Signal Corps units in World War II
by Danny Johnson
Many years ago, the Army titled various units by the type of mission the unit performed. It wasn't uncommon to have a designation that could have two, three, four or even more words in the title.
Over the years, the Army had shortened the designations for numbered units; today, unit designations are much simpler to understand. Here we take a look at some real Signal Corps units taken from an Army campaign register for World War II.
The Army had a unit in the Pacific called 3902d Signal Right of Way Construction Detachment. What about 3939th Signal Mess Detachment? On Leyte, the Army had 3948th Signal Switchboard Operating Detachment.
How about 3137th Signal Motor Messenger Company that served in Europe? There were also 801st Signal Training Regiment and 5th Signal Aircraft Warning Training Battalion.
There were units called 3798th Signal Multichannel Radio Teletype Detachment and 3298th Signal Film Library Detachment that both served in Europe. The Army had a number of signal pigeon units such as 277th Signal Pigeon Company that served in Germany.
Serving in the Pacific theater were 1st Signal Troop as well as 3d Signal Radar Calibration Team. There were 1st Armored Signal Battalion, 2691st Signal Air Warning Battalion and 3123d Signal Port Service Company serving in Europe.
Some of the unit titles were quite long, such as 3225th Signal Photographic Production Detachment and 3916th Signal Service Company, Radio Intelligence, who also saw action in Europe. In China, there was 3314th Signal Photographic Supply Detachment.
Some more long-winded titles were 3373d Signal Intelligence and Monitoring Company and 3732d Signal Equipment Installation Detachment, also credited with service in the Pacific. Two other units that served in the Pacific were 929th Signal Battalion (Separate), Tactical Air Command, and 1720th Signal Service Company, Aviation.
The Signal Corps had a unit called 87th Signal Inspection and Maintenance Detachment in the Pacific theater. Also serving in the Pacific were 3241st Signal Newsreel Detachment, 440th Signal Heavy Construction Battalion (Aviation) and 103d Signal Light Construction Battalion.
There were 3323d Signal Information Monitoring Company, 517th Airborne Signal Company and 165th Signal Photographic Company in Europe. In the Pacific theater were 3291st Signal Base Depot, 3292d Signal Base Maintenance Company, 3293d Signal Base Depot Company, 292d Joint Assault Signal Company and 12th Signal Company (Philippine Scouts).
What about 846th Signal Service Photographic Battalion and 113th Signal Radio Intelligence Battalion? There were also 7797th Signal Depot Group and 112th Airborne Signal Battalion.
There were also organizations called 65th Army Airways Communications Systems Group; 1041st Signal Company, Service Group; 6660th Signal School Detachment; and 3107th Signal Service Platoon.
These titles wouldn't even fit on most unit letterhead stationery today.
The unit designations today may be brief, but the same positive attitude to accomplish the mission exists as it did more than 50 years ago. Signal Corps units carry on the same traditions now as Signal Corps units did during World War II.
Mr. Johnson is the command historian for U.S. Army Information Systems Command at Fort Huachuca, Ariz.

City is the only unbeaten team in the English top flight after 10 games but its capitulation in Europe has made Roberto Mancini the target of flak and frustration.
Mancini lost his cool twice this week, in a news conference before the 2-2 draw against Ajax and then immediately after the Champions League game in a finger-wagging confrontation with match officials.
It\'s a sign the Italian is feeling the pressure, at a time when Pep Guardiola is increasingly linked with City following the club\'s appointment of two former Barcelona officials.

Spec World, or The Speculative Dinosaur Project, is a massive, massive world-building work in progress. It's basically an attempt to imagine how the world would be if the K/Pg Extinction Event hadn't happened 65 million years ago as seen from the perspective of dimension-hopping explorers and scientists from our world ("Home-Earth").The best thing you can do is just start reading.note Specworld was almost nearly finished, but then, new palaeontological discoveries (especially this little feller) changed a lot of what we know about dinosaurs. The project has stalled out since 2008, and there are many lost illustrations and broken links. But the imagination, wonderful creature designs, good biology (hallelujah!) and offbeat humor more than make up for it.The project isn't entirely dead, as the Yahoo club below shows. Also, some DA pictures from the staff like this suggest that, once the main site is updated, things will get very interesting... (A summary including some of the new ideas can be found here.)

Man on the street: Circle theory
Date: July 29, 2009
by: Maggie Pahos | Observer intern
Question: What is your opinion on installing roundabouts along the bayfront?
Donald Barney
"Those things are a pain-in-the-butt. But they seem to make the town look friendlier and more social. They are prestigious looking and pretty. Personally, I get lost, but I like them because they make the town look unique."
Randy Hill, Petals on Palm Ave.
"I think that would be a good idea. Some say no, some say yes. Think about the one near Anna Maria Island — that seems to be working. As long as people are safe. It does save a traffic light."
Paul Passerat
"I'm European and I'm all for it. It is not dangerous like people say. On the contrary, it's very safe. Look at St. Armands — it works perfectly."
Frank Creaturo, Creaturo Studio Gallery
"I think it'll give a good look and help with traffic, if it's done right."
Corie Grelle
"I hate roundabouts. I say no. They're confusing."
Trez Cole, Golden Apple Dinner Theatre
"Roundabouts work in certain situations, but not at Five Points. There is too much large-truck traffic for them to work efficiently here."
Gunda Dehn, assistant manager of Art Uptown Gallery Inc.
"I'm not sure how that affects pedestrians — how do they get across? That is the question I have, because I like to walk down there."

Fragmented power: Europe and the global economy
The European Union is the world's largest economic entity, with half a billion people and a gross domestic product slightly larger than the United States. It is the largest exporter, the largest foreign aid donor, the largest source of foreign investment, and a magnet for migrants. But its decision-making powers are often fragmented and ineffective.To date there has been no comprehensive study of European international economic relations. This book fills that gap. It examines the main areas of Europe's foreign economic policy: trade, development, external competition policy, external financial markets, external monetary policy, migration and external energy/environment policy.This book explains why it is time for the EU to wake up to its global responsibilities, and why, in the absence of reform of its governance system, Europe risks remaining a fragmented power.
The contributors to the volume are Alan Ahearne, Marco Becht, Olivier Bertrand, Arne Bigsten, Herbert Brücker, Beno?Æt Coeuré, Luis Correia Da Silva, Barry Eichengreen, Simon J. Evenett, Marc Ivaldi, Jean Pisani-Ferry, André Sapir, Coby van der Linde and Jakob von Weizsäcker.

A "Supernatural" Concert Review
- Friday, May 14, 1999
by Bruce A. Brown for the Music Channel at crosswalk.com
{{dc Talk}} has been tantalizing fans at select concerts with songs from its ==Supernatural== disc (released last fall) for over a year now, so expectations were quite high for the band's first full-blown U.S. tour since the spring of 1996. And by all indications, the 63-city "Supernatural" tour which concluded last week, was a rousing success.
The weather couldn't have been more perfect for the band or the 10,000 fans gathered at St. Louis' Riverport Amphitheater on May 8th. While it was yet daylight, {{The W's}} bounded on stage, regaling the crowd with several swing-influenced tunes from their Dove Award-winning debut album, ==Fourth From the Last==. In rapid succession, {{Jennifer Knapp}} (also a multiple Dove winner) hit the stage. Joined by a three-piece band, Knapp quickly displayed the communications skills that earned her ==Kansas== album so many critical plaudits. It's easy to see why the folks at the mainstream Lilith Fair tour have tapped her to play at several of their events.
After a brief intermission, the lights were lowered, and the audience roared its approval at the film montage displayed on the huge silver screen at the rear of the stage. Broken Poet Films director Eric Welch, who made several outstanding video contributions to the evening assembled the footage. A "Supernatural Remix," spun together by DJ Form (borrowed from {{Grits}} for this tour) accompanied the clips. Appropriately, Form was the loan figure on stage and would prove to be the lynch pin of many of the evening's hottest musical moments.
As the film footage faded, the band segued into the opening notes of "Dive," with Kevin Max, Toby McKeehan and Michael Tait still hiding in the shadows. As band and singers slammed into the chorus, the entire stage and audience was enveloped in brilliant white light. (Here we must tip our hat to lighting director Andy Dunning and sound engineer Chris Michaelessi, who made the show a joy to watch and to listen to.)
DJ Form provided a U2, electronica style bridge into "Jesus Is Still Alright," which found Max (in a Euro-tailored suit), Tait (in black slacks and shirt) and McKeehan (sporting a cowboy hat), bounding around the stage like human pinballs. In keeping with the tone set by DJ Form, McKeehan showed his mic skills with some freestyle raps.
The trio gave its now customary nod to The Beatles with a smooth segue from "Hello Goodbye" into "It's Killing Me," the second of nine songs from ==Supernatural==. Following a brief greeting by Tait (introducing himself as "the Negro of the trio"), the group reached back for "Colored People," linking arms at center stage in a show of genuine affection for one another. "Consume Me" the second single from ==Supernatural==, displayed a superb vocal blend, as did the slashing rocker "My Friend, So Long." Things continued in a rocking mode for "Since I Met You," which sent the already excited gathering into overdrive.
Tait then returned to the spotlight for "Godsend," taking the lead vocal on the unabashed love song, while relishing the irony of being the only single man in the entourage, and the first set concluded with what is arguably one of bands finest songs, "Between You and Me."
As a small platform at the front of the stage was quickly reset, Toby stepped up to read a modern translation of I Corinthians 13. The group's patented acoustic set followed, as mini-takes of "What If I Stumble," "Into Jesus," "My Will," "40" (courtesy of U2) and Rich Mullins' "My Deliverer" (from Prince Of Egypt - Inspirational) and "Awesome God" followed.
The highlight of the evening for many was the much-anticipated "Disco Set." The spotlight was on DJ Form once again, for a quick remix of some classic dc Talk tracks, including "Heavenbound," "Nu Thang and "That Kinda Girl." The full band returned for "We All Wanna Be Loved," and was supplemented by the horn section from {{The W's}}, who remained on stage as the band surveyed several disco classics, including "That's the Way (I Like It)," "Boogie Nights," and "Le Freak." Finally, McKeehan focused the spotlight on the superb band, giving keyboardist Jason Halbert, drummer Rick May, bassist Otto "Sugar Bear" Price and guitarists Mark Townsend and Barry Graul some much deserved time in the spotlight. In conclusion, DJ Form kicked in some old school beats, and let McKeehan and Sugar Bear both rock the mic for a few minutes.
A rousing version of "Day by Day" kept things moving at a brisk pace, then the crowd seemed ready for a brief rest. That was provided by Max's passionate blend of the English ballad "Greensleeves" and the Christmas chorus (sung to that same melody), "What Child Is This?" "In the Light" brought the audience to its feet once more, and "Supernatural" kept them there.
Although it may have seemed odd to insert the moving ballad "Red Letters" as an encore, the timing couldn't have been more perfect. Along with the impassioned vocals of Tait, Max, and McKeehan, the audience was treated to another of Welch's brilliant video montages. And of course, the crowd was sent into its final frenzy with dc Talk's signature song, "Jesus Freak." As he did throughout the tour, Toby McKeehan returned to the stage to share his testimony and gave an invitation to accept Christ.

If my uterus had a face, I would punch her in it.
So, it's pretty awesome that my cycle and the time it takes my cat to go through a bag of food are totally matched up. Because apparently I cannot be around animals, or photos of animals, without having a hormone-fueled weepfest.

Mother's Day and my 21st anniversary fell on the same day this year. While I enjoyed a weekend away my kids held down the fort.
Now, often when the kids are on their own (even though a few of them aren't really kids any more) the house tends to get a little dirty. Since the kids know I love a clean house they decided to make that my gift this year.
I couldn't believe when I walked in the door and saw my sparkling kitchen. They had even polished all the normally covered in fingerprints stainless steel appliances.
My oldest son explained in great detail how they had spent Saturday night working together to get the house clean by "mom's standards." That's a little joke in our house because often my children will clean to their standards (meaning popcorn kernels belong under the couch) instead of my standards (popcorn kernels belongs in the garbage).
Not only was the kitchen clean, the rest of the house looked great too! The kids shared what they cleaned and were so proud of their work.
My little girls were excited to give me the Mother's Day cards they picked out and Cora was really excited because my card from her had a sticker. She suggested I put it on my computer, but I told her I would put it on my journal instead.
Even Cora my littlest got into the action by wiping around the doorknobs and baseboards. The Scotch-Brite non-scratch sponge does a great job getting dirt off and doesn't damage the paint!
It was great to come home to a clean house after a fun weekend away. Since the house was clean we spent the rest of the day hanging out and relaxing. My kids definitely knew the best gift for me this Mother's Day!
I'm partnering with Scotch-Brite to share cleaning tips and ideas this summer. All opinions are my own.

Collin County Prosecutors Ask for, Jury Gives 2 Life Sentences in Aggravated Assault, Drug Case
(McKINNEY, Texas) – Earlier this month Collin County prosecutors asked for, and the jury sentenced defendant Carlos Delarosa to two life sentences and $10,000 fine on two charges of aggravated assault/family member, 60 years in prison (Texas Department of Corrections) and a $100,000 fine on the possession with intent to deliver case, 20 years TDC and $10,000 fine on the third aggravated assault charge, and two years and a $10,000 fine on the evading arrest charge. Two of the three aggravated assaults were against family members so they were first degree felonies. Delarosa was also charged with possession with intent to deliver over 400 grams of cocaine and evading arrest.
Prosecutors Gail Leyko and Kelley Sullivan handled the cases, along with their investigator Kenneth Moore. "I couldn't be prouder of Gail, Kelley, and Kenneth," Collin County District Attorney Greg Willis said, "they put their heart and soul into working these cases. And the jury sent a strong message that Delarosa's violent conduct won't be tolerated in Collin County."
The defendant was living in Plano at the time with his wife and 6 children. On the evening of April 25, 2009, the defendant, his wife (Serena Delarosa) who was 7 months pregnant at the time, and her brother Robert Enriquez and Robert's girlfriend, Stacy Guardado went out to a comedy club. There was drinking by all and they seemed to all be getting along that evening. After the night out, the four went back to the defendant's house where Robert and Stacy had already planned on spending the night. Also in the house were 13 children belonging to the four adults. Robert and Stacy went to sleep with their one year old daughter in the bed with them. The defendant and Serena got into an argument because one of the children wanted to have a friend spend the night. Serena ended up locking the defendant out of the house. The defendant came back in and loaded his gun and shot Serena in the head. He then went into the bedroom where Robert and Stacy were sleeping and shot Stacy in the face and Robert in the thigh. He threatened to shoot the baby. The oldest son walked into the area where defendant was and the defendant pointed the gun at him. The defendant fled the residence and several of the people inside the home called 911.
All of the victims survived, including Serena's baby who had to be delivered by emergency C-section at 30 weeks.
Plano police located the defendant and got in a high-speed chase with him.. He ultimately wrecked out and Plano PD rescued the defendant from the burning car. The gun was recovered from the car and it was discovered that it was jammed. Upon searching the house with a warrant, the detectives discovered a kilo of cocaine in the garage in the defendant's toolbox. District Attorney Willis remarked, "the Plano Police Department did an excellent job on this case." Willis added that the main officers involved were Detective Brian Pfaning, Detective Larry Bartek, Detective Carlos Harwell, officer Bradley Hutton, officer Kenneth Foale, officer Jason Moses, officer Chris Sanders,officer Matt Quillin, officer Brian Kailbourne, and CSI Susan Smith."

He probably even got a few votes from Oklahoma precincts after Thursday night's performance. It wasn't the prettiest game Tebow ever played, but it will go down as one of his best.
- Bio | E-mail | Recent columns
- Florida Gators win 2nd National Championship in 3 seasons

- Pictures: Florida Gators 2014 football media day
- Photo gallery: UF coach Will Muschamp speaks to Orlando Gator Club
- Photos: 2014 Florida Gators recruiting class
- Pictures: 2013 Florida Gators fans, band and cheerleaders
What made the performance so memorable was how it started. Those two interceptions in the first half were as many as he had all season.
The second was snagged by Gerald McCoy, who's a 295-pound defensive tackle. That's the kind of indignity that's supposed to happen to sixth-team All-Big 12 quarterbacks, not Heisman heartthrobs like Tebow. At that point, Florida fans had to be wondering who had inhabited the body wearing No. 15.
It would have been a lot worse had Oklahoma remembered how to score. It racked up roughly a gazillion points in the regular season, but it will be remembered for failing on two goal-line chances Thursday night.
Tebow can thank Florida's defense for keeping things close long enough for him to re-appear. It came after a 12-yard gain. Tebow popped up, ran toward the Gators sideline and went into one his fist-pumping frenzies.
His theatrics have gotten pretty old to Florida's opponents. But you can't argue with the effect they have on the performer. And as Tebow goes, so follow the Gators.
As he started to boil, Fox cut to the tape of Tebow's Ole Miss post-game speech. The one where he vowed no player would work harder and or try harder the rest of the season. It's been continually cited as the turnaround moment of Florida's season. Tebow's Heisman candidacy was built on him carrying Florida with his spirit more than his statistics.
It didn't sell well enough to outdo Bradford's ridiculous numbers. It Heisman voters got to re-vote, they might still give it to Oklahoma's sophomore. But they'd also have a renewed appreciation for the intangibles that make Tebow Tebow.
He rushed for 48 yards on the drive that gave Florida a 14-7 lead. I would call it the go-ahead drive, but every time Florida got ahead the Sooners came back.
That was largely due to Bradford, who is as smooth as Tebow is rowdy. The popular angle going in was the Heisman showdown, but neither quarterback had a dominant statistical game.
Tebow bested Bradford because he got more help from his defense, and he had a guy named Percy Harvin to hand off to. But make no mistake, the BCS game was still The Tebow Show.
He got the Gators going with his running early in the second half. He finished the night with a passing exhibition. It was punctuated by a short touchdown pass to David Nelson. Naturally it had a little Tebow flair, with a jump thrown in.
At that point, you wondered what Oklahoma's Dominique Franks was thinking. He was the unfortunate cornerback who said Tebow wouldn't be one of the top three quarterbacks in the Big 12.
That made him the designated goat after Thursday night, but you really can't get on Franks too much. The Big 12 did have three great quarterbacks, and he was just standing up for his league.
But as the game ended, the chant that echoed around Dolphin Stadium was " SEC! SEC!" And the biggest reason was the guy leading the Gator Chomp.
It was better than even being named All Big-12.

Fins' Jordan Ready For Liftoff
The Miami Dolphins thought enough of defensive end Dion Jordan to trade up to the number three overall spot in the draft to select him. But if you think Jordan is going to be exclusively used on the defensive line, you would be mistaken.

What does a woman look like? Fine-boned and petite? Curvy of hip (But not too curvy!)? Full-breasted? Delicate-featured with flowing hair? Creamy-skinned? These are certainly the standards of Western female beauty, but frankly, these descriptors, which are more about the Western male gaze, bear no relation to what women actually look like. And, most importantly, it is not appearance that makes a woman a woman.
It is appearance, though, that has everyone talking about Caster Semenya, an 18-year-old South African runner now competing in the World Championships. Semenya (pictured above and below) is under scrutiny because of her powerful running style and her appearance.
According to The Sydney Morning Herald, "the world athletics governing body, the IAAF, has conducted a series of tests on the South African, including physical checks and genetic screening.
Officials were to meet late Tuesday to decide whether the teenager from Pretoria would be able to compete in the 800m final on Wednesday."
Officials were to meet late Tuesday to decide whether the teenager from Pretoria would be able to compete in the 800m final on Wednesday."
I do not know the results of the IAAF's tests, but I imagine I know how humiliating and intrusive it must be for a teenager far from her rural home, family and friends, to be attacked and questioned and then poked, prodded, tested and forced to prove that she is female enough to compete with other women--and all of this because she doesn't look "right" and because she is too good at her sport.
I know it must be heart-breaking to hear your coach say, as Semenya's did:
We understand that people will ask questions because she looks like a man. It's a
natural reaction and it's only human to be curious. People probably have the right to ask such questions if they are in doubt. But I can give you the telephone numbers of her room-mates in Berlin. They have already seen her naked in the showers and she has nothing to hide.
I know that people will point to Semenya's narrow hips and broad, muscular shoulders and androgynous voice and say that critics are right to question her femininity, but black women have had their womanhood challenged for much less. First Lady Michelle Obama...pop singer Ciara...the list is long. (Monica at Transgriot has a great series of posts about this issue.) Having a "womanly body" and wearing pretty clothes and makeup is emphatically not enough to help high-profile black women escape charges of not being women at all.
Does Semenya really look all that different from the athlete running beside her in the race photo above? They both look like the stereotypical image of a professional runner--lean and muscular with minimal curves. Yes, Semenya's shoulders are broader and her hair is pulled into corn rows, but so what?
Tonight, according to the Telegraph, Caster Semenya "produced the fifth fastest 800 meters time in history to become a world champion." If only the world were talking about the teenager's remarkable athletic achievement and not speculating about her sex.

Supplemental Information
Fore Street
The widest of the town's old streets, Fore Street was once the main thoroughfare through the town. It was often used for the sale of livestock until a new market was built behind The Ram Inn in Fore Street. The market later moved to Caxton Hill. Parallel to Fore Street ran Back Street, now known as Railway Street.
Parliament Square
Created in the 1920's and named after Parliament Row to the south side (now demolished) which was so named to commemorate the relocation of Parliament to The Castle behind, following the outbreak of The Great Plague in 1563.
Livestock Market
Fore Street was used for the sale of livestock until a purpose built market was constructed in 1851. This market had space for 2,500 sheep, 500 pigs and also space for calves. However there was no space for adult cattle. A further market was later built in Caxton Hill, which itself has now disappeared, making way for homes.
Corn Exchange
The original Corn Exchange was built in the early 1840's next to the Cross Keys Inn. Prior to this date, trading in corn was done behind the Shire Hall. The New Corn Exchange which replaced it was opened in 1859.
Market Street
Market Street was cut through between Fore Street and Railway Street in 1890. This meant the demolition of Beard's men's outfitters and Savage the cooper and basket maker in Fore Street; and cottages in Railway Street. Later on in the mid-1930s a bus stop was constructed in Market Street, whicg required the removal of the Thistledoo Cafe.
Post Office
The original Post Office was in Fore Street next to what is now the NatWest Bank. A purpose built Post Office was erected in 1890 by local builder H.Norris. .
Old Cross
Old Cross was originally the town centre of the northern part of the town. Free passage between the two parts of the town didn't come about until the removal of tolls from Mill Bridge in 1893.
Maidenhead Street
Maidenhead Street is so named after The Maidenhead Inn, which occupied the premises that are now Woolworth's. In earlier times it has also been known as Cordwainer Street and Glove Street. This has always been one of the principle shopping areas of the town, with shops such as Sweetings Butchers, who traded for over 300 years. The town's first cinema was also in the street - the People's Electric Theatre - on the corner of Bull Plain. In 1917 fire destroyed an important part of the street opposite what is now Stead and Simpson's shoe shop. Click here for picture
Railway Street
Once the eastern end of Back Street until the coming of the railway in the mid-1800s. It was bordered on the north by Butcherly Green, a densely populated area of slums.
Bull Plain
Bull Plain takes its' name from The Bull Inn, which once stood near to what is now the site of Hertford Cameras. It 1915, there was extensive damage here after a Zeppelin raid.
Cowbridge leads from Old Cross towards Port Vale and Port Hill. It is so called because it was the route used by drovers to get cattle in and out of the town.
St.Nicholas Hall
In 1893 the hall was restored as a parish Hall, with funds raised by a fete in Christs's Hospital grounds and monies from Hartford, Conneticut in America. It was named after the church in Maidenhaed Street, which fell into disuse, the parish being combined with that of St.Andrews. The church of St.Andrews stands next to St.Nicholas Hall.
Town Mills
Four of the town's mills were recorded in The Domesday Book of 1087 - Horn's Mill, Molewood Mill, Sele Mill and the Town Mill.
Butcherley Green
Butcherley Green was a densely populated area of slums inhabited by some 1300 people, on the site that borders Railway Street and is now the Bircherley Green shopping Centre and bus station. This area was cleared after the first world war and the original bus station built. The residents were moved out to new housing, probably in Camps Road, now part of the Sele Farm Estate. In 1859 the town''s Ragged School was built here, next to the Tallow House, where candles were made. This site is now occupied by modern housing.Read more...
Mill Bridge
Close the the original crossing on the River Lea, Millbridge is arguably the cradle of the town.
Hertford Priory
Hertford Priory was established shortly after the Norman Conquest by Ralph de Limesi, a strong supporter of William I. It was built on the banks of the Lee close to the present Priory Street and was dedicated to St.Mary. The lands owned by the Priory included pastures on the Meads and Dicker Mill. De Limesi eventually became Prior and both he and his wife were buried in the Priory cemetery.

Hillary Clinton's Chicago roots run deep.
Whenever Hillary Clinton campaigns in Chicago -- as she will likely be doing again soon, when she runs for president again -- she mentions that she was born here.
Not only was Hillary born here, she has deep roots in Chicago politics, that go back even before her birth.
Later that month, back home in Park Ridge, Hillary saw news of the riots at the Democratic National Convention. Telling their parents they were going to a movie, she and Betsy Ebeling drove down to Grant Park and walked through clouds of tear gas, past battles between cops and antiwar demonstrators. At one point, they ran into a high school classmate who was providing first aid to the protestors.
