Heck, unlike Georgia, they were good enough to play for their conference championship, and unfortunately the two stars were hurt bad and there was simply not much chance.
Did he tell the AD before or during the season?
Before.
Well, reportedly, a private plane carrying former Nebraska coach Tom Osborne and Chancellor Perlman arrived in Baton Rouge Saturday afternoon. Speculation is, of course, that it was to interview Bo Pelini, after leaving BR they headed to Atlanta. An Atlanta-based firm, is assisting them in a search for a new coach. Nebraska is said to also be looking at someone named Turner Gill who is a former Nebraska quarterback and now coaching at Buffalo.. Buffalo? Heck, he’d probably pay them to hire him away from Buffalo!
Democrat Says Declining Casualties in Iraq is Not Progress
(CNSNews.com) - New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson, a Democratic presidential candidate, said Sunday that the decline in U.S. casualties in Iraq -- which has accompanied the increase in U.S. troops in that country -- is not a sign of progress.
"Progress shouldn't be measured by casualty counts, body counts," Richardson told host George Stephanopoulos on ABC's "This Week."
Richardson must be getting his talking points from the Hideous One.... he is obviously angling for a cabinet position
America hates Hillary Clinton and Co
By Toby Harnden
They call it flyover country. These are the parts of the United States that the pundits and prognosticators of American politics see just occasionally - and usually from several thousand feet. It is a land where people shop at Wal-Mart, eat at Dairy Queen, work two jobs to make ends meet and have a Bible at home. They can decide on their vote with the help of talk radio, cable television and the internet - or from a combination of rumour, scraps of hard information and gut feeling.
Iowa and New Hampshire are the early-voting states into which the east-coast campaign bubble bounces every four years. They provide the stage for the opening acts. But it is in flyover country where the 2008 presidential election will be won and lost.
Theres less hustle and bustle here than on the coasts and a different outlook on life, said Marla Russ, a secretary and part-time policewoman at a football game in Weatherford, Oklahoma. Theres pride in the land and trust for each other. Things are still done on a handshake.
So is Hillary Clinton the polarising figure we hear so much of in the media? Can only a Democrat win in 2008? Is America ready to elect its first female or black president? Has the letdown of the Bush years left the average Joe Schmoe yearning for the Clintons?
With a year to go before the country votes for its 44th president, The Daily Telegraph embarked on its Crossing America project to find out. The answers that Julian Simmonds, photographer and videographer, and I got were often surprising. They provide little comfort for Mrs Clinton but not much more for any other politician. Although few people have no opinion about the 2008 candidates, the election has yet to grip the American imagination. And for most, their final decision remains a long way away.
Travelling principally by road in between hops by air, we reported as we went along, posting video, text and photographs on the Telegraph website each night. Our odyssey was enhanced by the emails and blog comments we received from Americans suggesting routes, berating us for skipping over their town or promising to show us a slice of true American life if we stopped down their way.
Try small-town restaurants, country stores, truck stops and outside houses of worship after services, advised MyTelegraphs racefan. You will be intrigued to discover that people can think for themselves.

LOL great cartoon.
Hi Lady.
How’s your Monday?
Hi, Fanfan! It’s a gloomy drizzly Monday outdoors and the cats might be succeeding in sending me to the Land of Nod anon.
How’s your Monday?
It’s grey here too.
My dog keeps “marking” the kitty litter box.
We bought some spray today that is supposed to discourage him from the area.
What should I do if it discourages the cats too?
Mount the gate high enough so the cat can skootch underneath and still keep the dog out.
I was having to sit and listen to the BB liberal in the next office carrying on with his nauseating drivel about how much smarter Hillary is than the “right-wingers” trying to take her down. He doesn’t “discuss” issues with me any more. I need a source of white noise in my office to tune him out. His mouth never stops...which is probably why he never actually gets WORK done.
Yes, a horizontal attack!
Very good, thanks!
I’ll hit Wally Mart again tomorrow.
:-)
Yeah, she is a something, allright, I just wouldn’t define it as smart. Ask him to name one thing she has ever accomplished in her own right. Not the dishonest stuff, like her commodity trading or her real estate shenanigans. Not something she aspires to but something she has done other than attach her considerable backside to the coattails of a philandering man and hold on like flypaper?
I too this photograph of a church close to our building when I went for a walk this morning. They will soon be celebrating their 1,850th. Anniversary.
Evenin, Cardy. I got my exercise today too,....shopping..lol.
The “Cardy” tomorrow and probably more shopping, heh, heh, heh.
Are you having fun yet?
Wow...that’s an old one, isn’t it? Very nice.
Almost as old as you and I.
1,850? Thats amazing. I wonder how much of the original structure is still accessible, if at all.
Did you go to Wally Mart today? How was it?
