The Morning After: November 12, 2009
Good Thursday morning. It’s been an odd week for me, for good reasons, but odd anyways. Yesterday was Veteran’s Day for those of you that just climbed out of your hole and weren’t aware, so I naturally had the day off since I work for the Feds. Having Wednesday off is pretty cool…off two days for the weekend, work Monday and Tuesday, off one more day, work two more days, and then it’s weekend time again. I could seriously get used to Wednesday’s off.
Anywho, there was sports yesterday:
To start us off this morning, commenter and S&F contributor CBH49er gives us the Week 11 Cram Session.
Next, it looks like it’s getting scandalous at the BCS Headquarters (side note – put some monkeys in a video, and I’m hooked):
Some historical history from historical stadiums. And, some cool pics.
I do believe Sammy when he says it was a mysterious cream…
Chris Petersen’s pay doesn’t quite compete with that of other coaches at his team’s competitive level.
The Week 11 college football announcing schedule.
This is exactly why D-Wade switched from Chuck Taylors to The Swoosh.
Don’t forget to nominate your favorite greatest sports plays ever…so sparty can hurry and crack that whip and make me compile results in spreadsheet form.
The Jordan boys just can’t stay out of the news.
Harsh irrelevancy levied at the Ol’ Ball Coach.
No mustard for the Steelers.
The Iron Bowl may not be for another few weeks, but it’s never a bad time to tell Bammer to go to hell:
Taking a look at the spread-option…
How does McGwire get re-integrated with mainstream baseball?
WTF!? Hell, I’ll just spell it out…what the fuck!? Seriously, what is this and why is it on the knoxnews.com website. I really hope I’m on the outside of an inside joke here. Again, seriously, what the fuck?
Do the Longhorns have one of the easiest schedules?
Unfortunately for Iron Mike, his past doesn’t garner the benefit of the doubt.
Memphis is going to do whatever they can to botch a coaching search, no doubt.
Time to retire the football helmet? Don’t scoff at the idea.
I’ve really been impressed lately with the sports coverage in the WSJ…very intelligent stuff. This one’s no exception.
Check out the “College ball” notes…I like that GameDay is branching back out.
Finally, because turtles are my favorite animal:

The Lebrons are in second place behind the Bucks and the Magicians are in third place. Awesome.

I like it though. I hate when GameDay is at a stupid game just because it’s being broadcasted by ESPN/ABC. yes, I understand cross-promotion principles, but I do like to have GameDay at whatever the biggest game of the weekend is.

Trey – looked like there was a fair amount of empty seats last night. Not Yankees empty, but…you know. It was the ShaBrons.

pistons have slashed ticket prices on some packages that are available. lower bowl seats for 40 bucks. of course, the economy in detroit is probably much worse than orlando right now.

Memphis is offering $10 lower bowl seats…still can’t get people to come to the games.

No matter what, bad basketball is just that. No way you’re going to bring in fans for a Grizz vs. (insert team here) tilt. Couple that with November….

Knightro,
It was pretty packed, considering the scalpers wanted $100 per for lowers.
My guess is those seats just didn’t show.
Sparty- not as bad as Detroit, but in a city that depends on people’s leisure dollars we’re struggling
