I feel bad for those who died on the tracks this evening, but I don't know why they were on the tracks in the first place; and I'd like to get home before midnight.
Steve wanted to thank those of you who shared your stories and comments during the recent Starbucks Giveaway Contest we held on BevReview.com. We were just notified that we were one of the TOP 3 sites for number of comments related to the contest... and as such, get a little something as well. Thanks again!
Congratulations Steve! And since none of the other top 3 were beverage related sites, I think that's a win by any standard.

Each site was given control of how to run their individual contests, as long as it had somewhat of an "office/goofing off" type theme. Looking back, our criteria was probably a lot harder than other sites (i.e. "Post a website you visit when you don't feel like working"... seriously?) So it's kinda cool that we were still able to pull it off.

Wow, just realized today that you went and actually deleted @matthom entirely from twitter. Ballsy, man.
- Mark Smithivas
I figured it was better to remove the account, than leave it dormant and following no one - some might see it as I unfollowed them, and take it the wrong way. :-)

From what the site says, it sounds like the $25 donation will go to the city of Chicago, which is as you know run by Emperor Daley. He'll probably put that into the Chicago 2016 fund, with nary a dime going to an actual school.
- Mark Smithivas
If you connect the dots, most all goes thru him in this city anyway, but the audit trail never goes to him! It is also running in other cities, so there is always hope...

It makes me feel squeamish when defenders hold a guy up so someone else can take a big hit on him. I know tackling outright isn't always possible but dang...

Just saw the INT - espn360 must be on a killer delay :P

Now that OSU is impressing me with their chance to win I am not sure which I would be more irritated to see go undefeated. Does either team have a conference championship game?
- Daniel J. Pritchett
...against that I-AA juggernaut, Jack State!

Daniel ...no Pac10 or Big10 conf. championship games
- .LAG liked that
...missed opportunity for OSU, not doing anything with that INT. as a Pac-10 fan, if I've seen it once, I've seen it several dozen times: no one adjusts better in the second half than SC... the Buckeyes have to cash in every SC mistake now!!!!

Sorry as an SEC fan I get irritated at the idea of anyone making it into the BCS championship game without having to play a conference championship :P
- Daniel J. Pritchett
But that's months away we can just enjoy the game for now
- Daniel J. Pritchett
...OSU dominated the game, and it's tied. as I've said earlier: I've seen this SC story before, they make the best adjustments in college football... can't wait!

Is there a reason unhurt players might wait to be helped up by a friend? That last guy appeared to lay on the turf for a good while scanning frantically for the helping hand to pull him up. Are they worried they will get stepped on if they put a hand on the turf or what?
- Daniel J. Pritchett
Daniel... nah, I just think it's a "team" thing... help your teammates to their feet, bond...
- .LAG liked that
I figure that's usually the case, this guy on the ground just seemed like he was going to wait all day until he got the lift. Probably nothing...
- Daniel J. Pritchett
...holding OSU to a FG is a win for SC. what's with the no-socks on the Buckeye kicker
- .LAG liked that
15-10 is a score that makes you think OSU might get a last second field goal; if it comes down to that OSU's kicker can hit from 60

Maybe his lack of socks gives him power just like awesome hair does for the islanders chasing him down...
- Daniel J. Pritchett
RAP ...or it's enough to lose on a fluke TD at the end... .LOLz

Daniel ...I just think most kickers on most football teams are just, well, weird

I can certainly see SC going up 17-15

Holding; you are going to see more of that. OSU does the Florida State rotation and the D Line will be very fresh

One thing is clear: the "team speed" argument is moot in this game... OSU is just as fast as SC tonight
- .LAG liked that
Such a beautiful view; Ohio Stadium is quite a lady
- RAPatton

very impressed with OSU's team speed and tackling ability . so last week either they were looking ahead to SC... or Navy is much better than anyone realizes

Navy is a bowl team, and they've been good for a few years

Sorry RAP... the Buckeye D was AWESOME tonight, but I thought OSU squandered some opps to bury them early...

it's always nice to see a Buckeyes loss
- Mark Smithivas
What a surprise. The Buckeyes lose another big game. What else is new?
- Give 'Em DBizness
oh man, it's going to be a rough week in Columbus...

Tough loss just like the Texas game was. No need to bag on OSU for losing by less than a TD to a top 5 school in either case.

No one should die because they cannot afford health care, and no one should go broke because they get sick. If you agree, please post this as your status for the rest of the day.

I guess one of the key features of "Snow Leopard" is it's lean size. At least, I've been reading reports about that. So... they are trying to improve that aspect of their apps, I guess..

Good to know. But I still have to question Apple's software designers for coding in a way that requires such enormous update files. Windows get so much crap about its shortcomings. Have to keep some balance in the Force!

Great! What you gonna do? Don't fall in the "too much freedom" trap, where there's so much you could do, but end up doing nothing because there's too many decisions to make (happens to me a lot). ;-)

I hear ya! Wifey has left me some "honey-do" items so I need to get cracking!
