Cal 45, Texas A&M 10

The Desmond Bishop hit on Stephen McGee was particularly sweet...

Here's the new Cal commercial that will be shown during the Holiday Bowl.

Hopefully this will help people realize that UC Berkeley and Cal are the same school.



Thanks to Dave Shin for the link.

My brother-in-law just got his dream job as a web content editor for Blizzard Entertainment, the company that developed World Of Warcraft (WoW).

He writes and edits articles for the official website of WoW, which has almost 8 million players worldwide and is the world's biggest Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game (MMORPG).

The game is so popular that some trinkets my brother-in-law got from his holiday party are selling for $300 on ebay.

Furthermore, NPR's All Things Considered did a feature on people who are exploiting WoW's popularity and setting up WoW sweatshops. In these sweatshops, laborers are paid low wages to play characters for long hours -- with the sole purpose of making virtual money that will later be converted into real money.

Crazy...now we have virtual sweatshops, not just real ones.

The Boston Red Sox bid $51.11 million for the rights to negotiate with pitcher Daisuke Matsuzaka. They chose $51.11 million as their bid because they wanted to beat out similar bids of $50 million, $51 million, or $51.10 million.

I bring this up because yesterday I lost an ebay bid for Ducks tickets because my max bid was $50. The winning bid was $51.

That's what I get for not bidding like Theo Epstein...

Please be in prayer for Kwang.

As he was driving to church this morning, his car hydroplaned and overturned on the side of 280. He broke two bones in his neck and is now in a brace.

He was transferred home, where he should be staying for at least five weeks. Praise God that he is expected to make a full recovery if all goes well.

So I finally, FINALLY got an AIM screenname:

tommyelee7

Some reasons why:
-So that I don't have to send Basile 10 e-mails a day.
-So that I can complain about how bad my fantasy sports teams are doing.
-So that I can show people more YouTube clips.
-So that it's easier to tell Chongo that I don't have a girlfriend.

Just bought Arrested Development Seasons 1-3 on Amazon for $34.

Don't know how long this deal lasts, but the fine print says:
Monday, December 4th this item has special Amazon.com Gold Box savings. Limited quantities available.

So I made sure to buy it today...

The most frustrating thing about the BCS this year is that it would've been so easy to have a 4 team playoff. Now that they've added a 5th game, the championship game is played a week after the other 4 BCS games, so they could've just made a couple of the January 1 BCS games semifinals.

For instance, on January 1 we could have
Rose Bowl: (1) Ohio State vs (4) LSU
Fiesta Bowl: (2) Florida vs (3) Michigan

And the BCS Championship Game would still be on January 8.

Sure, there would be other issues this would create (such as a debate about who should be #4), but at least undefeated major conference teams (like 2004 Auburn) would get a chance.

And of course Florida could actually play Michigan to decide who's #2. But I guess that makes too much sense...
