Yesterday, I got a little giggle from something we received in the mail and thought it was worth sharing. Jesse and I both received mailings from Harding in Searcy. Mine was addressed to Mr. Nick Faris, hers to Ms. Jesse Maddox. So, I learned two things yesterday. One, Harding thinks we're living in sin. Two, they hope to see us in Searcy for Homecoming.
In other news, the "I'm a PC" commercial is pretty good. It's also really late, like by about three years. And this is my problem with institutions. By the time they get a response together, even if it is good, it's too late. Give me grassroots, give me a quick response, give me a Mac.
In a related story, I also like the American Express commercial montage. Two good commercials there.

The Seven Again
Failing to keep my word to Brother Bob, I have decided to post my seven here, in shame. Said Brother called on Sunday, but didn't leave a message. I'm guessing he didn't feel it was appropriate to let me go with a voicemail. These things are better done in person. Without furth...
1. USC - more proof that you can recruit speed. I think this team is very good, but I also think they lose at least one. I don't think that one will be this week, but something more along the lines of the usual Pac-10 upset. UCLA maybe? Again?
2. Ohio State - more proof of what happens when you don't recruit speed. Okay, seriously. I LOVE this team's depth and maturity. They have a lot of upper classman talent. They would have been my #1 going into Week 2, but then they almost lost to Ohio. They'll gain credibility by hanging tough this week, but not tough enough to get the win when it counts. Again.
3. Florida - I think this team beats Georgia and probably ends up playing for a National Championship. Again.
4. Oklahoma - I saw a good stat the other day about the impact of an offensive line with over 100-something starts in their college career. Look it up. I think it was Ivan Maisel. They're coming out of the Big 12 and losing their BCS bowl. Again.
5. LSU - I think they come out of the west and finish the year looking better than they really are. Again. Les Miles questionable coaching finally catches up to him.
6. East Carolina - These two early wins were huge. They give ECU credibility, which they'll need at the end of the season when they are undefeated. Look for them to be the controversial team that screw up the BCS. Hmmmm, BCS screwed up? Again?
7. Missou - not sure if they're really as good as advertised again, the October game against UT should answer that question. Until then, who else belongs at seven?
