Spoke too soon. Allen signed with the Bears.   [Hidden Content]

Pretty sure Rice is there.   Sam Houston had a terrible weekend series and dropped from the Top 25.

Wichita St vs Kentucky was one of the better games I've seen in a while.   Coach should have played for OT IMO.

Wango, tango!   Get'em, Ted.

  So you had all those games picked correctly?

Retweeted by ESPN ESPN Fantasy Sports ‏@ESPNFantasy 13m   2,185 perfect brackets remain in Tournament Challenge after Mercer's victory.     That's crazy talk!  

  18, 741 people picked North Dakota State? That's crazy talk. I HATE blowU, but I did not pick NDSU.

1. Houston Oilers 2. Old Buffalo Bills 3. Old New England Patriots 4. Seawhawks 5. Old Miami Dolphins (I played for the Ft Lauderdale Pee-Wee Dolphins in 1975)

  Schaub is a serviciable NFL QB. He was simply beat "between the ears" in Houston. A change of scenery will do him some good.   Fitzpatrick will probably be the starter until they groom thier draft pick.   The Texans sit at 8 projected wins for next year. At this point, I'll go with the "under".

Ukraine? Are they one of Obama's bracket picks?   Putin is just crazy emough to do it. If anything, he's a man of his word.

Sounds like he has not agreed to any terms and will make a decision this weekend.

One was a medical issue and one graduated.   Best of luck to both of these law abiding citizens.    

"McCormick was shot  by his girfriends father after she denied knowing who he was and he made a sudden move that the father interpreted as aggression.   In general, it’s a bad idea to make sudden moves when someone has a gun pointed at you, especially when they are in their own home and aren’t sure who you are, or why you are there"   Sounds to me like he entered the room with the gun.

It's back to work in the morning. Thanks Harvard and Dayton!

  I would not congratulate the man. I do believe, under the same circumstances, I would protect my daugher. That is assuming she said she did not know the person in her room. 

2 Corinthians 5-10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each of us may receive what is due us for the things done while in the body, whether good or bad.     God does not hate.

ESPN is reporting he has agreed to terms with the Seattle Seahawks.   Good goat! That defense will be stout.    

  This should make AJ Hoffman and Fred Facour on ESPN Radio here in Houston VERY happy.

  Yes. If either of them were to drive a car at 15, the law is pretty clear.

So a minor can leagally consent to sex, but cannot open a bank account? That makes sense.

  It's a double edged sword.   On one hand, these students need to "practice" speaking English in order to assimlate into the educational/cultural environment. The ultimate goal is to speak English as a Second Language (ESL).     On the other hand, many of the students that are "new arrivals" need to speak their native language simply to navigate through the school day.   I think the principal had good intentions, but approached it from the wrong direction. I'm not so sure she should have been fired. She probably should have simply been put on a Growth Plan in reagrd to the issue at hand. We are all subject to re-education from time to time.

I'm  The boy was 17 and the girl was 16.     Texas Romeo and Juliet Law- "This meant that a consensual sexual relationship between a 16 year-old and a 17-year old was illegal, and would result in the 17-year old registering.  Although it is still illegal, recent changes to Texas law now exempts the actor from registering."   Please help me find the ballpark.  

  It is my understanding that the Romeo and Juliet Law only prevents the minor from being labled a "sex offender". It does not make the act "legal". I could be wrong. 

  Ok. Insert "sexual assault" in place of "statutory rape". Either one is a criminal act.

  Ok. What did I miss? Was the girl over the age of consent?
