Although I used it to wash down some good meds. The bad part about this prescription is that I actually get tired. None of the other stuff I've ever gotten has done that, but I'm sitting here struggling to keep my eyes open (and it's not even the Holiday Bowl's fault).

I got some good news at the doctor yesterday...
I got some good news at the doctor yesterday...
he was pretty sure I had torn my ACL, which is obviously a longer-term recovery after some pretty invasive (for a knee) surgery; when I got the MRI results back yesterday it turns out I have a torn lateral meniscus and I'll be in and out of surgery in half an hour and my knee will be structurally capable of running the next day. Pretty much exactly the news I was hoping for.
Go Blue!

Wish I could have gotten news
Wish I could have gotten news
Wish I could have gotten news like that. Tore my ACL and lateral meniscus last spring playing basketball. Had surgery in June. Just had my 6 month checkup last week, doc still says it is too weak for a return to sports. I guess ice fishing will have to be my wintertime activity. Best of luck with surgery.

Ouch.

That's too bad, man. Hope your recovery starts picking up, that's got to be tough.

Watching Baylor pass against UCLA, I have to ask if Jim Mora has been itching to try out some of Jim Knowles' theories on man coverage, because it works so well for Duke, right?

My theory has been
My theory has been
that the Big 12 was really good this year, that the defenses (except WVU) weren't as bad as they seemed, it's just that they were going up against devastating offenses.
K-State/Oregon will be the big test. But this has been pretty convincing so far.

while i don't think it will
while i don't think it will
while i don't think it will be a complete blowout, i think oregon will make quick work of k-state's defense. i think there are very few defenses in the country that have the ability to slow down oregon, much less stop them.
It's been a lot. Its been a roller coaster that for some reason seemed like it would never get good. But you know what? We kept fighting. It's like that old saying goes, "Those Who Stay Will Be Champions." -David Molk

If I were the program
If I were the program
If I were the program director here, I'd insist upon as many cheesy bear-related lines as possible from the announcing crew: "Just when the Bruins appeared roused from their hibernation, the Bears' pass rush pounced on Hundley like he was made of honey."
Brian Griese is doing color commentary. He's not bad.
This is an epic nickname matchup: Bears vs. Bruins. Winner gets to officially represent the Ursidae family for the next year.
