Once again, a Big Ten team wins a big game, and people set stuff on fire. This time it was OSU. But I’ve seen it happen at other schools: I think it happened in East Lansing a few years back (after a basketball game). And I’m pretty sure it’s happened at OSU before. The funny part of this AP story about last night’s incident is that the headline is “Columbus relatively calm after OSU win,” despite the fact that there were dozens of fires and 40 arrests. Fires and arrests, and you call it calm… suuurre.

MS Zune, take two…
Posted by eric on November 15, 2006
This is kind of funny, on the heels of yesterday’s post about the Zune’s error screen. Now it’s being reported that it’s not compatible with Vista. Oops.

scratch that off the list…

Looks like Butch Davis is headed to Chapel Hill. Most Miami fans will agree that there will be a coaching change made in Coral Gables… now the big question remains who will come in.

quote of the day

“Election night is fantastic. It’s catnip. It’s crack. It’s the best, and I cannot wait.”
— Brian Williams, quoted in the Baltimore Sun
It can be a fun night. It can also be a rough one. We’ll see how this plays out…

it’s still Monday in my mind.

I watched Studio 60 tonight, as I have since it started. Within the first few minutes, the general plot smacked of “Celestial Navigation” from season one of The West Wing — person of importance is arrested in some tiny town, lots of people go to help, and the whole story is told using flashbacks. Real creative, Sorkin. This seems to be a recurring theme (the plot reuse, that is). Of course, the commentary of the show is classic. I still have a feeling the show won’t make it through the halfway point of the season.

the coaching carousel…
Posted by eric on November 5, 2006
For Miami and FSU fans, this football season is pretty much a lost cause. But I’ve thought of one bright spot for Miami fans.
Our school can fire its coach, if it so desires. (Which is pretty much a foregone conclusion at this point.)
Because, you see, it’s awfully hard for FSU to fire Bobby Bowden when they’ve named the stadium/field after him, and put a statue of him out front. And it doesn’t sound like he’s ready to step down on his own just yet.
Which brings up the next coaching thorn in FSU’s side — Jeff Bowden.
It’s hard for Bobby to fire his son. Which gave me an idea.
Have Tommy Bowden hire him at Clemson.
No, not necessarily as a coach. Something involving less strategy. I was thinking… maybe waterboy?

I’m not doing a very good job with this…
Posted by eric on November 4, 2006
Well, to recap last night: sushi was good, The Prestige was good. The movie definitely has some twists and turns.
I don’t know if I’m going to be able to use the word “good” to describe Miami’s gameplay during the football game that begins in less than a half hour.

and that makes three….
Posted by eric on November 3, 2006
Friday. Thank goodness.
I’m headed out to meet some friends for dinner (sushi, in case you care).
Then, we’re all seeing a movie: The Prestige. At a theater with all kinds of food — always a favorite of ours.
Tomorrow, it’s a day full of errands (cleaning, grocery shopping), with the “big” UM-VaTech game at 8pm. That… will be interesting. Or embarrassing.
