I took advantage of the snow day and rode my TT bike (mounted to the computrainer for the winter). 20 miles of pain and I never went anywhere, but I sure as hell burned a lot of calories. It was also my first run w/ homemade risers for the aero bars - custom cut hardwood flooring to give me an extra 5/8 of an inch- what a difference in comfort!

He's too smart for that. My daughter is extremely bright, but he's off the freaking charts. At 3 he taught himself how to read by reading songs on an ipod (he was a music freak from day 1), he's in kindergarten, but his teacher has moved him twice now and they've got him reading with the 3rd graders. It's facscinating (and somewhat scary) watching the wheels turn with him.

Yeah, watching that little tyke play the drums like that is pretty fascinating. Prodigy stuff.

I came upon this low spot which is now a small pond. There was a sign that said "Road Closed," but some cars ahead of me ignored it. And in a moment of insanity I plunged right through.

The big danger is an unseen sinkhole under the surface.

Mmmmm, Don Pedro serves up carne asada like pic #4 sans guac. Could totally go for some of that.

It can get hydro locked. If the car goes in so deep and it starts to act funny while still in the water SHUT OFF THE ENGINE to avoid hydro locking it.

I started up the car again and ran the engine for a minute or so. It sounds normal. Maybe the crisis has passed?

He was, ahem, deceived (allegedly).

Wow. Why? Dude was an easy first round pick, and now they'll be talking about his "character" at the combine. And the fact that he couldn't make a tackle in the title game.

Just finished reading the entire story, holy cow! I don't know how he thinks the playing dumb card could work, he (hopefully) had to know if his girlfriend was real or not...

Can any team still want to draft him? He is a great football player but anyone who is part of one of the most elaborate sports hoaxes in a while is clearly tainted.

Ray Lewis was on trial for murder. Teo will still be a top 10 pick. Jarvis Jones may go in front of him, but he could have done that anyway. Certainly he will still be either the #1 or #2 linebacker

RUOkie 01-16-13 04:48 PM

and speaking of football. Congratulations to Chip Kelly on ruining the most entertaining football team in FBS. I expect he will be coaching an SEC team in 3-4 yrs

Yeah I could retract my intial shock statement somewhat. But football players pretty much try to murder their opponents every game, whereas Teo just played the fully crazy card. I'm more just confused than anything.

And we thought Solo had girl issues.

According to this tweet, ND knew by the "hoax" on December 26. It doesn't come out until now?

Which, coincidentally, may be when UT will be conducting its next search.
