I saw Caroline Kennedy once while I was living in New York. I was just walking down the street and she walked past me. I then became a stalker, turned around and followed her to see if it was...

I basically meant the GOP primary voters anyway (yeah, I know people can't read my mind).

But there are also some kingmakers within the GOP and they went for McCain in a big way at a decisive...

No list is valid without Jindal. The 2012 nomination is going to be a fight between Romney and Jindal, at least I hope so.

I refuse to believe that the GOP could be so stupid as to actually...

How is the map from yesterday significantly different from 1992 or 1996? Don't read more into it beyond it being a comfortable victory for Obama. Clinton beat Dole by a more comfortable margin.

Yes, I realize that which is another reason why the Pac-10 shouldn't get an automatic bid. If the auto bids were reduced to only three, the SEC, Big 12 and Big 10 would be the likely recipients of...

The BCS is an improvement

I'm not angry at the BCS, I'm angry at BYU for not bothering to show up against TCU. TCU's operated under the same restrictions imposed by the non-BCS label and they proceeded to throttle BYU.

I can't imagine 3-4x income being that big of a deal. I'm moving into a house in a week that I had built. It's about 3.2 times my income. It's our first house and after taxes we're only paying...

Palin sucked ass last night.

I'm a decided voter in the sense that I won't be voting for Obama, though I probably won't vote for McCain either. I'm writing in my vote for Johnny Utah

I hate to agree with Cali on this one, but with the honeymoon being over and the verdict beginning to come in, Palin is going to end up being an overall negative for McCain.

That's just a dumb comment and its the same justification some people have talked about using against USC should it go undefeated and there's an undefeated Big 12 and SEC at the end of the year.

Being in the top 12 with an MWC schedule and being the cream of the crop of a very bad crop is something BYU can do every three years or so as long as the current coaching staff is in place.

Unless Nebraska becomes a power again, I'm not sure if that would be enough to make it to a BCS bowl every 3 to 4 years. It would be a once in a decade thing. It's no secret that the South is where...

I'm excited for FSU coming into town next year. Also, ASU is replacing their QB next year and that would be a quality win. With Utah, TCU and Air Force playing in Provo next year, 2009 can be...

The rules changed starting, I think, for the 2006 season. That's why Boise State made it in 2006 and Hawaii made it last year. Utah made it in when the rules were more stringent, I believe. If the...
