After going winless for 36% of the season, Purdue has finally become Sun Bowl eligible. Hopefully with a win over IU they can upgrade to the Alamo Bowl.

I got nothin here.

Work was insane today. I could feel the veins in my head throbbing and the blood pressure making me have a heart attack. Trying to focus on what you're doing, which needs to be done yesterday. Phone rings. Someone comes in. Help me with this. Help me with that. Hey when you get a minute, come over to my office. I want to show you something. Ring ring ring. Hey, remember that thing you programmed 86 years ago. Its not working anymore. Are you busy? Ring ring ring.

Murder is the case that they gave me.

What do I want for Christmas? Strike that. What do I want for Christmas that I won't get for myself?

You all know what I like. Discuss amongst yourselves.

Does anyone have a copy of the Bubba Sparxxx intro to College Gameday from the day of the Purdue - Wisconsin game?

If I realized 3 weeks ago that every player on Purdue should be sent through fumble drills every practice, why is it that no one on the coaching staff can realize that? So far fumbles have only cost the team 3 wins. No big deal apparently. Already in the first quarter against Iowa, they've fumbled two more times.

HOLD ON TO THE FREAKING BALL. The idea is not that hard to grasp. Here's what you do... you put one hand (which happens to be connected to an arm) on the bottom of the ball. The you put the other hand (which also is connected to an arm) on the top of the ball.

Wow. You'd think that I had just cured cancer with that idea. Maybe someone should forward this to Tiller. Maybe he thinks that holding the ball three feet away from your body and in only one hand is the best way to hang on to the ball.

Another week of gloomy predictions:

Iowa - 16
Purdue - 13


Notre Dame - 20
Tennessee - 24


Baltimore - 17
Cleveland - 9

I don't know if this is good or not. Under John Kerry I would have been considered one of the rich wealthy elite, which would have been good for my ego and bad for my pocketbook. Now that Dubya has rightfully won, I am once again one of the middle class who gets to keep more of my tax money.

That's my Bush!

It's his birthday and he'll cry if he wants to.

Happy 36th birthday to Justin.
