A little preseason housekeeping...

So I'd like to get this done now so I can have a working system set up in time for preseason warm-ups.  So I'd like your comments about the following ideas:
1) Who all is interested in participating?
2) Any issues with the Google spreadsheet we used last year?
3) Any issues with everyone putting their own scores into the spreadsheet, rather than me entering them all?
4) Do we want to modify the scoring?  Last year it was a sum of differences model, with a margain of victory tiebreaker.
5) Anything I missed?  Throw up some ideas in the comments section, its a flexible structure.

Welcome back football, my how we have missed you...

On a lighter note....

The future is FINALLY starting to arrive.  For all of you wondering when you could hop from Mishawaka to campus with your jetpack, its here, and better yet, it runs on premium unleaded gas.  

For those of you with a longer commute, or looking to get back for football games, now you can knock some of that out in the air with your flying car.  

Thats all for now, but the show goes on all week, stay tuned!

While we're throwing gas on the fire...

I think the Colts will go 9-7. My margin of error is no more than 2 games.

Details in the comments -- you're welcome to match my prediction.

Are you really going to vote for this guy?!!! You must be kidding!!! I guess eloquence is more important than actual substance and character.

McCain is a Maverick!! If you really want change he's your guy!! Plus he won't destroy the economy or lose a war.

Andrew Giuliani = Giant Douche


It took me a while to realize that this kid was immortalized in an SNL sketch by Chris Farley. No surprise he turned out to be a huge turd.

New Career Paths....

And credit to NPR's Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me...   for this gem.  I must say, as a pilot there are 2 kinds of people telling you where to go.  Absolutely great folks who do an outstanding job (about 90% of ATC) and, well, people I'm convinced filled out this form...

From the NASA Watch.com website, just another way you can help NASA maintain our dominance in space...  by marking your territory.
