| Ending the Weis Era p. 1 |

This game was sort of his encapsulated career, or at least his post Quinn career. Lot's of fancy touchdown passes to skilled players. But ND loses to a blue-collar tough team playing straightforward solid football.
Similarly Clausen and Weis function as the nearly the same entity. Clausen is a good thrower who can hit the deep pass and when everything goes right he is the best. But when there is pressure, or tight coverage, or the receiver has to adjust his route, or time is running out, or the lineman fails, Clausen is more often then not unaware of this and doesn't adjust. That is why he can rack up all the great stats and still not come through on the big drive as we saw vs Pitt, Stanford, and Navy.
I'll take a less flashy good but not great player who can't play spectacular but can avoid the big mistakes any day.
Simarly: Rumors say we are hiring Bob Stoops. I hope I am wrong but I don't want him. He runs the spread which is too one dimensional and right now "Big Game" Bob refers to his losses; in his last 4 bcs games losing to LSU, USC [both for the title], West Virginia, Boise St, Fla [also for the title] and something like 4 str8 against Texas.
Not that it matters but here is my list to replace him. I am even violating my own 2001 advice of picking someone who is a proven champion, these guys are winners but not title winners.
1. Jim Harbaugh
2. Mike Belloti
3. Sean McDonnell |

Well, I just won a satellite for the Sunday million. I'm probably not going to play, though; I've got a lot of work to get done today...and the Bears are on this afternoon (I'm a glutton for punishment....)

STOCKHOLM — Swedish police say they’ve cleared a man who was arrested for allegedly murdering his wife after deciding the culprit was most likely a moose...She was found dead after an evening stroll in the forest... hairs and saliva from a moose — aka a European elk — were found on the victim’s clothes.

Prices always seem to be going up, except when they aren't. The 32" flat screen TV I purchases a few years ago can now be had for a third of what I paid for it. But so what? Now everyone wants a bigger, flatter TV. Did the cost of living go down because flat screen TV's are 'better' than the clunking boxes they replaced, even if they cost the same or more, despite the fact that they sort of serve the same purpose?
And that's just the tip of the icebox. It's really hard to figure out whether a particular something has increased in cost or not over the years. A while back, I noted that I could find no way of figuring whether mattresses were cheaper now than a few years ago, or any information on their cost over time at all.
So here's a quiz for you:
Do you think, generically, we pay more for the residential electricity we use now than in 1990?
Poll #1491952 Do we pay more for electricity now than in 1990?
Open to: All, detailed results viewable to: All, participants: 14Do we pay more for electricity now than in 1990?
