Texas pulled out an ugly win last night against Ohio State, who lost to USC 35-3 and Penn State 13-6. Texas scored a touchdown with 16 seconds left and earlier got a first down by an inch or two on fourth down. Mack Brown said that he wasn't sure before, but now he was sure that Texas should be #1. Holy crap, you were lucky to win against a team that shouldn't even be in the top ten. Mack, what should USC do, join the NFL?
I'll bet the cops have a story or two when they picked up Charles Barkley for DUI. I wonder if Charles bet the cops he'd pass the test.
In the book, OUTLIERS, Malcolm Gladwell, has come to the conclusion that baseball, hockey, and soccer players born in January through April have a much better chance to excel. The reason being is that when they get in these programs as a youngster, the cutoff date is January 1st, so those born earlier in the year are so much more mature. They outshine the kids that are born later in the year. Eventually the younger kids get discouraged and lose interest. This means that almost half the talent is eliminated before they even get started. Look at any successful baseball team and you will see most birth dates are early in the year. If only I would have known this years ago, I could have saved a lot of time because I was born in June!!
JOKE OF THE DAY
A guy walks into a restaurant, orders a drink, and asks the waiter if he'd like to hear a good Notre Dame joke.
"Listen buddy," he growled. "See those 2 big guys on your left? They were both linemen on the Notre Dame football team. And that huge fellow on your right was a world-class wrestler at Notre Dame. That guy in the corner was Notre Dame's all-time champion weight lifter. And I lettered in 3 sports at Notre Dame. Now, are you absolutely positive you want to go ahead and tell your joke here?"
"Nah, guess not," the man replied. "I wouldn't want to have to explain it 5 times."

I have to disagree with your book. I looked at the rosters for the Cubs and the Phillies. The Cubs had the best record in the NL last year and there ratio (born in April or before:born after April) is 15:25. The Phillies, who won the world series is 8:32.
I'll throw the book away. That's ridiculous!! Wait a minute, did the Cubs win the World Series????!?? Did they even win the NL playoffs. I wonder they lost, the had late bloomers. I said a good team.
You are hilarious!
