Around SBN: Events Cause Mariners To Lose To Rangers

THE CURIOUS INDEX, 1/25/2012

WE'RE SURE THE OTHER TWO KIDS ARE D-1 PROSPECTS, TOO. Dontez Ford, Syracuse recruit, is unafraid. Unafraid of the violence of football. Unafraid of the future. And most importantly, unafraid of the mysteries of calculus.

We're sure there's videos just like this of SEC recruits talking about...you know, things other than calculus. SHUT UP WE'RE FAST, OKAY? REALLY REALLY FAST.

CUE CARNIVAL MUSIC (AGAIN.) We're so far through the looking glass with conference expansion that the Big 12 possibly moving to 11 or 12 teams despite the conference being named the "Big 12" is news, and not just an expectation because yeah, dumbasses, your conference should by all rights have 12 teams. Though members are "happy" with ten members (they always are,) future expansion candidates could include Louisville and BYU. The first would be eager to abandon the perpetually smoldering coal slag fire town that is the Big East, and the latter just wants a safe place to land where it can throw the ball, maul people with Polynesian defensive tackles, and maybe harvest some souls. (BYU FOOTBALL: WE WANT YOUR SOULS. NO REALLY WE DO, BUT ONLY IN THE NICEST WAY POSSIBLE, REALLY.)

TCU remains pretty officially happy about the whole thing, though. (Via.)

WELCOME, ADMIRAL. The Big East did get cooler for having to refer to someone in conference as an Admiral, but we'll let Holly explain all of that with a fine and utterly clear graphic.

LOL GEORGIA. All too happy to point and laugh at our state of residence's inability to govern itself coming into direct conflict with football.

AU REVOIR, NEW MEXICO BOWL. If there is general support to limit the field of bowl teams by reupping the win total to seven wins instead of six, then the sum total of bowls that could evaporate under the new system is somewhere between five and twelve bowls. This is delightful news if you like harumphing about the value of a system almost everyone realizes is just a vast series of exhibitions run by the burgers of America's unremarkable midsized towns in cahoots with thieving university presidents, and bad news if you, like us, enjoy watching games on December 19th no matter how silly they may be.

DEREK DOOLEY BRINGS SOME SUNSHINE. If you do not remember the recruit who stole shit out of the Georgia locker room on a recruiting visit, he has taken his rightful place in Knoxville. It wasn't theft, but more a declaration of purpose, you see.

A REMINDER. Zak Kustok was one of the most important quarterbacks in college football history. No, really, he was.

INDIANAPOLIS IS GOING TO GET EVERYTHING IT DESERVES. Though having a Super Bowl in Indy is a better idea than it sounds when you think of all the delicious local treats you can get there.

I'm not sure how I feel about the 7-win proposal

because it’s going to kill some rivalry games in favor of guaranteed wins (as someone on Twitter pointed out, goodbye Louisville-Kentucky game.)

If you want to make it 7 wins to get in, require that at least one of them be a non-conference road game against a BCS conference opponent.

I wouldn't mind it personally

But be aware if the requirement is you MUST have played one bcs conference team on the road outside your conference – almost by default it becomes necessary to play two bcs conference teams OOC every season.

And that's a bad thing because?

Sure, it makes it harder for a fringe 1-A team to make a BCS bowl, but that’s how they want it.

by Big Blue Barrister on Jan 25, 2012 10:41 AM EST up reply actions  

As I said, I wouldn't mind it

but the non-bcs FBS teams would probably argue that it’s anti-competitive because it’s collusion designed to prevent bcs teams from playing non-bcs teams (basically making the exclusive club even more exclusive).

Plus, why should playing Duke at Duke, Kentucky at Kentucky, or Kansas at Kansas be valued any higher for bowl qualification than playing non-bcs teams on the road that would probably beat any of those three?

by kizzak on Jan 25, 2012 10:48 AM EST up reply actions  

Because there's less inequality of resources.

Sure, the teams you named are not world-beaters, but they have facilities and talent a hell of a lot closer to Alabama, Clemson and Texas than say, Eastern Michigan, Nevada and San Diego State.

If you remove the "on the road" stipulation, I'm good with it.

Ohio State plays the front end of a home and home with Cal this year, and thus doesn’t have a BCS AQ road game – but they do next year. I don’t think you should punish teams for scheduling home-and-homes, which the “road game” part would do.

My loyal heart avows no other.

That would further limit the pool of available bowl teams

Remember that a lot of programs “lose” money going to lower-level bowls, once you factor in travel costs for the team, band, entire athletic department and various administrators.
So, teams will continue to take the revenue of a home game vs paying to go to Boise or Shreveport.

Everyone knows this law was aimed and Mexicans and Mexican types. (I’m of Hispanic origin; we can call each other that.) Sometimes Samoans are mistakenly identified as really large Mexicans, except Samoans can play football. The Georgian Legislature doesn’t get out much and the Falcons don’t have any Pacific Islanders on the team, to the Legislature passed a law that was much too broad, i.e., it had football consequences.

Solution: Get him into Life College and let him play rugby for a year. He’ll maintain his vicious edge and learn chiropracty. Then transfer him. Then repeal/amend the law.

That video makes me for ever grateful that youtube did not exist when I was 18

Two things of note from last night’s news

1) I’ll miss Prince Fielder’s homeruns and his “ya know” filled interviews. Good Luck in the D, big guy. I hope you and Miggy both mash, because if Cabrera’s really going to play 3rd, defense is going to be interesting.

2) I was surprised to see Carla Gugino reprising her role as Karen Sisco on Justified. I wonder how long it takes before they acknowledge her maiden name. The confused way Raylan called her “Goodall” tells me it won’t be long. I wonder if Jennifer Lopez was approached about playing the role she made famous. Also, Mykelti Williams character appears to be channeling Bill Cuddy and Tyler Durden.

Yat's is great.

Also St. Elmo’s, Harry & Izzy’s (St. Elmo’s knock-off. Factoid: co-owned by Peyton), Recess is amazing. But yeah, we’re mainly a chain-restaurant town. Though the chains include Morton’s, Fogo de Chao, Eddie Merlot’s, Sullivan’s, etc. And lest you forget, Indy is among the best at hosting “the big event”. The 500 and all those Final Four’s…the Super Bowl will be a good one.

Last restaurant rec for the truly adventurous (who have a car). Go to a place called Bonge’s Tavern. It’s in an old barn in a tiny burg about a half hour north of the city. Be prepared to take a cooler and tailgate as you wait for a table (arrive REAL early), but you will not believe the food.

I mean, Beane made some mistakes

but the book itself has aged surprisingly well. I just reread it when I was home for Christmas, because I’ve been trying to get my business-owning grandfather to incorporate it into his management training courses, and the bigger lessons that Lewis focuses on – carefully evaluating received wisdom, being willing to reject it when necessary, the importance of staying ahead of the market through research and innovation – are things that are useful in pretty much any setting.

"You gotta be like John Wayne: you don't take no shit off no fools, an' you judge a person by what's in 'em, not how they look. An' you do the right thing. You gotta be one of the good guys, son, 'cause there's way too many of the bad."

I meant more

that his specific theories (no high school pitchers, focusing on OBP stats from college players, etc.) are no longer vogue with most MLB front offices.

Oh, gotcha.

I misunderstood. I’ve spent too much time reading FJM and reading ESPN comments on stories about Beane. “HAR HAR THOSE IDIOTZ NO CHAMPIONSHIP STATS ARE BULLSHIT.”

"You gotta be like John Wayne: you don't take no shit off no fools, an' you judge a person by what's in 'em, not how they look. An' you do the right thing. You gotta be one of the good guys, son, 'cause there's way too many of the bad."

Is it that they're no longer in "vogue"

or is it that, once publicized, there ceased to be as much “value” in those beliefs.

by Awal on Jan 25, 2012 2:14 PM EST up reply actions  

Probably both

The point of the book is finding inefficiences before someone else does. My point was that some of his theories have become very outdated.

The new big inefficiency would probably be attempting to evaluate injuries or the propensity for injury, by the way.

by Albino Tornado on Jan 25, 2012 2:25 PM EST up reply actions  

Drachen Fire's problem wasn't any kind of structural defect

The ride wasn’t very smooth, granted, but it didn’t have anything to do with the integrity of the ride. The biggest problem with it was that no one was riding it. People would be lined up past the queue house to get onto Big Bad Wolf, while there was virtually no line at Drachen Fire. They determined the biggest reason for this lack of interest was because it was so isolated from the rest of the park (I heard this from someone directly involved, when I worked at the park years ago), though the reputation of a rough ride did factor into it, as well.

The money from scrapping Drachen Fire largely went towards Apollo’s Chariot, later.

I don’t know why they decided to close Big Bad Wolf, exactly, other than the fact that the ride is very old. Loch Ness is old, of course, but it’s the most iconic Busch Gardens coaster. I do know that they’re building a new coaster in its place, called Verbolten, which is also making use of the concrete footers still present in the Rhine River.

If I had my way, either Drachen Fire wouldn’t have ever closed, or they would use the space to build another huge, multiple-inversion coaster like Alpengeist in its place. (I don’t think this will happen, though; they seem very happy to use the space for their outdoor summer concerts and such.)

You can write music "by the book," too

In fact, I used to do that a lot as a music major. For example, I don’t have a particularly good ear, but Western music theory dictates chord progressions. A normal progression is I-IV-V-I. That sounds quite a bit different from a I-IV-VI-VI-I, or even a I-III-IV-V-I. So, being good at the theory part but not so much at the hearing part, I could figure out a chord progression by how normal or strange it sounded.

The Law of Music was that first you had to learn the rules, then you could break them.

I just see programming as a creative endeavor, and not just a putting-together-of-things to make a program. It’s an art that uses a science, if you will.

My college theory prof phrased it the best I've heard it:

There are no rules to art, only expectations. People expect things to look/sound/taste a certain way, and they will react if they don’t. The art is how you use their expectations to manufacture a reaction.

That's what I mean by "knowing the rules before you can break them"

A V7 “normally” will resolve to the dominant, for the release of tension. It’s not doing that which does what your prof says. But if you’re gonna learn the theory, you learn the “rules,” which perhaps are more like suggestions or tendencies.

I think we're saying the exact same thing

With different word. It’s a suggestion or tendency (or rule, even) because Western listeners expect it. Himalayan musicians would have no idea what a V7 chord is, much less its role in a chord progression.

The art of programming

comes from finding elegant solutions under weird constraints.

A particular one Im proud of came about due to some speed constraints at the time. We could read and write to the database but couldnt do updates. This led to some very interesting logic, including one beautiful piece.

The whole software is one of the best things Ive ever worked on. The client has modified it a bit over time, but unlike everything else I did for them, they have never rewritten it. Instead, their IT department had to be trained on it, so they could modify it. Its too damn good to rewrite.

Realistically, will put it this way:
Engineering:Archetecture::Programming:Software Archetecture.

Unlike for engineers/archetects, the same people ofter do both in the software world.

Oh my God, thanks to the Cracked article on Hit Songs written by unexpected people

I now know that the lead singer of 4 non-blondes is responsible, somehow, for both Pink’s Get the Party Started and Christina Aguilera’s Beautiful.

But that’s the not shocking part. The shocking part is I watched 4 Non-Blondes’ “What’s Up” video. I… I… lived it and I don’t remember the 90s being that terrible fashion-wise. I’m sorry, I was wrong. I’ll never criticize any other era’s fashion again.

Also, this is what happens when you ask a non-actor to lip-sync their songs. You get overly big motions and ridiculous facial expressions

How casual?

Just missing-a-tie casual, or khaki-polo casual?

Casual casual then?

Lands’ End Canvas has some slimmer options, still at mostly Lands’ End prices, can’t speak to the quality of construction as I don’t own any.

Brooks if you can afford it, their website’s sale section is quite good, as is the sale section of Ralph Lauren’s website. Howard Yount and Kent Wang (hehe, wang) have some good quality items, as vouched for by PutThisOn in the past, but I have no personal experience with them.

Yes.

I’m actually wearing a pair of the flat front, permanent leg crease ones.

I pull them out of the dryer and smooth out wrinkles with my hands on my folding board. BAM.

That opens it up a lot then.

If this was an immediate need then you’d have much fewer options.

Check out the department store sale websites, I think Bloomingdale’s is saleing currently, and Macy’s always are on something or other.

He is a five-star Fulmer Cup prospect, for sure.

It's called the FULMER CUP for a reason

That, and aside from the Wire Road 4

Auburn’s record in the Fulmer Cup WAS pretty dang clean.

One of the best craft beers in a can (supposedly; I didn't care for it because I don't like pale ales),

Dale’s Pale Ale, was first brewed in a bathtub in a trailer on Wire Road. The War Eagle Reader did a story about that a while back.

For people who like pale ales

it’s apparently highly regarded in terms of “beer in a can.” But yeah, I’d pass too, simply because I’m not a pale ale fan. I love Shiner beers, but I don’t know if I’ll even try their new Wild Hare Pale Ale, just because pale ales aren’t my thing.

Me either.

Then again, our nights when I was at Auburn usually consisted of Simply Lemonade from the gas station or Circle K green apple slushy with a generous helping of cheap-ass vodka from Tiger Package. So. We’re not the classy sophisticates you’d expect on EDSBS.

Still interested in doing that.

Trying to make sure I lose a bit of weight before I get fully back into running so as to lessen the impact stress on my feet, but soon I’m definitely looking into it.
