No College Football Playoffs…EVER!

For real, I think it’s a horrible idea.

WOW

The Jayhawks, now 6-0 heading into Sunday’s game at UCLA, trailed 4-0 early and then embarked on a nearly historic run. KU scored 36 unanswered points, one short of the NCAA-record 37 that Utah State ran together in 2006 against Idaho.

This is Web Big

Yahoo and Facebook have signed an integration agreement:

“With this integration, we are opening the door for two of the Internet’s largest online communities to make it easier for people to stay connected,” said Jim Stoneham, vice president of Communities for Yahoo!. “It also enables us to further the Yahoo! Open Strategy, which is aimed at making experiences dramatically more open, social and personally relevant for the more than 500 million people that visit Yahoo! each month.”

Integration of Yahoo and Facebook it a game-changer for Yahoo which has great presence in portal and email space but has slipped behind Google in search and content.  Now that Facebook will drive traffic to Yahoo, the flagging search engine/portal site has a real chance to re-establish itself as a leader.  Long term, I expect Facebook to become more of an open standard so Yahoo needs to plan its next move carefully, lest it fall back into its recent funk.

Man, if only Outlook could get Facebook integration.  That would be the bomb.

I Should Really

Spend more time working on my work blog.  I might actually be able to do something worthwhile there.

But then again…it’s hard to build up/feign the interest right now.

Do Buy has failed

One of the those funny puns that we get these days, like Bernie Made-off or Kneel Cash-Carry.

What a College Football Weekend

Another BS win by an SEC frontrunner.

The end of the Charlie Weis Era.

The end of the Mark Mangino Era [probably] complete with another 4th quarter meltdown.

The end of the Ralph Friedgen Era [probably].

The end of the Fat Coach Era with demise of the 3 coaches listed above.
