I have decided upon a cable modem from my cable provider. They provide web space and it's much faster than DSL. Once I know the new address, I'll post it here. It should be about a week to ten days before I get it installed. After that, the current address will only exist for until the end of this month.

I'm looking at moving to a new internet provider. This will impact you in 2 important ways.

Number 1: you won't be able to reach me at tvan@en.com anymore.

Number 2: you won't be able to view this web page any longer.

Therefore, I'm also in the process of searching for a new host for this web site.

I don't want any advertising or anything, so the usual suspects are all out.

Since I care about you the reader, I'm asking for any and all reasonable suggestions.

Prediction: Purdue 24 - Ball State 16

Prediction: Browns 3 - Ravens 86

Prediction: Michigan 0 - Notre Dame 2

Why does the WNBA still exist. Why? Does it make money? I don't think so. Why does the NBA continue to subsidize it? It makes no money. No one watches it. No one cares about it. No one watches it. Who cares that you're being equal opportunity providers of this crap. Just end it already.

Rumor has it that Ken Jennings Jeopardy streak has ended. They aired his 41st victory last night, but apparently he loses on show number 75 with winnings of over $2.5 million.

Someone needs to tell the AP voters that when you win a game 51 to nothing you're supposed to go up in the rankings. Purdue was 24th going into the weekend, then proceeded to humiliate Syracuse, and actually went down in the rankings to 25th. What do the voters demand? Win a game 22-21 in overtime against an unranked opponent?

I enjoyed the Purdue - Syracuse game yesterday. I don't take much from it however. Purdue isn't going to be +3 turnovers every game. They're not going to be able to dominate the opponents offensive lines once they get into Big Ten play. The receivers will be blanketed by defenders, and the running backs will have a hard time pulling off 40+ yard runs. Once Big Ten play begins, I think then we will see the true measure of this team.

I cannot believe that Oregon State didn't beat LSU. How in the world does your kicker miss THREE EXTRA POINTS in one game? He hit the goal post twice and pushed it way wide right once. I think kickers are generally supposed to be able to hit at least 33% of their extra points.

I think I could hit 33% of extra points.

At the same time however, this is exactly why college football is better than professional football. Anyone really can beat anyone else on any given Saturday. An un-ranked Oregon State travels to defending champ LSU in Baton Rouge and nearly pulls the upset. I think anyone would take being up 8 on the road with 1:41 left in the 4th quarter.

The NFL season starts soon, and I don't think I could be any less interested. If I wasn't playing Fantasy Football, I probably wouldn't even watch 10 minutes of any game.

Zell Miller is THE MAN!

Damn. That was awesome.
