Ponderings from PapaBear
I see that there are already many great blogs posted on last nights BCS Title Game and another recap is not needed. However, I have a few final thoughts on this game and the Buckeye season. First, congratulations to Les Miles and his LSU Tigers. They were the dominate team on both sides of the ball for the final three quarters of this game and are deserving Champions. For the past month I was slowly able to convince myself that the Buckeyes had a shot at a victory in this game. In order for them to pull off the upset they would of had to play the perfect game. Their overall team effort was certainly better than the one the they put forth in last years game against Flordia, but perfect they were not. Turnovers and really stupid penalties kept this game from being close and the final result was much the same as last year...A sizeable loss.
Haggerty, MacKenzie star for McGill lacrosse
Unlike high school, when they played lacrosse during the spring season, Teagan Haggerty of Salem and Whitney MacKenzie of Hamilton have gotten used to playing their college lacrosse in the fall, due to the fact that spring comes so late in Canada.
Nevertheless, Haggerty and MacKenzie are coming off of outstanding seasons for McGill University in Montreal this past season.
Haggerty, a junior captain and goaltender, was selected as a Second Team All-Star for the Ontario University Athletic League. A third-year math major, she helped the Martlets finish the year 7-6-3, qualify for the playoffs and made 19 saves in a tough 7-5 loss to Western Ontario University in the playoff quarterfinals.
MacKenzie, who transferred into McGill from William Smith College in New York, contributed to the Martlets' offense as an attack wing.
Michigan’s Government Showdown — or Shutdown?
Michigan's colleges and universities, already down millions in deferred state payments, are facing an incredibly uncertain fiscal climate. As legislators in Lansing bicker over a $1.75 billion statewide deficit, the threat of a government shutdown starting on Monday looms. .
Big Brother 8- Party Task
This week's party task seemed like fun at first but of course there was a twist. Big Brother asked the housemates to choose five lucky people to attend an exclusive BB birthday bash but this didn't mean it was going to be a quiet night for those who didn't get picked. Gerry, Ziggy, Nicky, Amanda and Sam were chosen before another set of instructions were dished out. .
U-M deal also has $4 million buyout
The university will also contribute an unspecified amount toward his retirement fund and provide him with two cars, plus paid insurance, according to the agreement. Former Michigan coach Lloyd Carr, who retired in November, earned $1,770,535.50 in overall compensation during the final year of his contract. Rodriguez could earn an additional $300,000 if he wins a national championship at Michigan. He can earn $200,000 if the Wolverines appear in a Bowl Championship Series game. Also Friday, Rodriguez received a $287,000 incentive payment from West Virginia for goals reached during the 2007 season. Among the incentives he reached this season was a one-time $150,000 payment for winning the Big East championship and receiving a BCS berth, and $25,000 for finishing in the top 10.
