DC,
Nice job with ATE.....not sure the RPI/WPI game will be much of a contest though.

Thanks U89... dewcrew just thought he'd run for a sentence or two on the Engineers vs. Engineers thing. DC would've tried getting in a "bizarroneers" reference for the LLPP, but he figured the Guru would not approve.

unionfan was elated to read Kickoff this AM and discover that Chris Sharpe has graduated from Springfield.  That is grand news--unionfan was sure he had one more year.

unionfan strongly suspects that Mr. Sharpe is now wandering Georgia looking for a pick-up fiddle contest in hoping of winning back the soul he traded for all that nasty talent...  A few years ago it seemed like Sharpe could have hung 35 on the Dutchmen personally even if his entire o-line was passed out drunk like Billy Bob.

dewcrew nice start to Around the East. Just looking at those games gets me excited. Sharpe was and is nasty. I have a feeling hie replacement will be pretty darn good as well. Does Sharpes team in Finland run the triple option as well? Or is being asked to throw the ball more?

Great find on the Sharpe page.

What are the chances that the front page photo would be him throwing the ball?

Thanks for the kudos. Springfield's been up and down the last couple of years... I think Sharpe's loss will be huge. I believe also that his team in Finland is more passing.

DC just had a chance to read ATE, good job on the write up on the games to see.

not always a gross fan and agree w/ him about 50% of the time but pbr thinks he is right on this call unfortunately...

By Jody Shenn
     Sept. 4  The U.S. government needs to start using more of its money to support markets to stem a burgeoning ``financial tsunami,'' according to Bill Gross, manager of the world's biggest bond fund.      ``Unchecked, it can turn a campfire into a forest fire, a mild asset bear market into a destructive financial tsunami,''
Gross said. ``If we are to prevent a continuing asset and debt
liquidation of near historic proportions, we will require
policies that open up the balance sheet of the U.S. Treasury.''     Banks, securities firms and hedge funds are dumping assets,
driving down prices of bonds, real estate, stocks and
commodities, Gross, co-chief investment officer.
     ``There is an increasing reluctance on the part of the
private market to risk any more of its own capital,'' Gross
said. ``Liquidity is drying up; risk appetites are anorexic;
asset prices, despite a temporarily resurgent stock market, are
mainly going down; now even oil and commodity prices are
drowning.''


not big on govt bailing out companies but he is probably right on this one unfortunately. so keep your cash in your mattress your better off...

Best part is that the Sharpe site lists his stats for a game:  5-21, 1 int, 33 yards.  Yikes.  RUN HIM YO!

Good piece Rev,

JU is not sure if Boston real estate can be included in the national discussion.  Good houses (in the medium home range in boston 350K-650K) are still getting sold within days from what I have been watching.  It seems that many of the people in the lower bracket (below 300K) and the luxury ones (1,000,000k+) are the one that are having trouble selling. 

And Ive gone around and looked at dozens of homes.  To be frank, people want to sell you crappy run down houses for high prices just because they are in a nice suburb.  People arent going to fall for that in Boston (or anywhere else for that matter) and I think that may be part of the problem.  If you have a nice house or put some good work into it and its in nice condition, it will sell in Boston for a price and the seller can make money.  But if you own your house for 5-10 years and think you can sell it for profit in the same crappy/unfinished/old roof/dirty walls/brown floor condition that you bought it in, you are in for a long wait.....

Just JUs humble opinion.

Prediction:

Ithaca 41

pbr thinks ithaca wins but it is much closer than people think it will be....lyco's new coach is young and aggressive and will have them ready...pbr said it months ago if the fed/govt dont step in this could turn into another depression its that serious....unfortunately

This was the problem when MR and I moved.
MR NEEDED to live in ritzy subdivision A.....old school (1960-70) houses, old money, things going on, very lucrative.  People feel as though they can get crazy money, even though the houses are as JU described with a very outdated floorplan, run down, etc.

It's really annoying at worst to view these houses in their run down glory...a waste of time at best.  Fast forward 5 minutes up the road to new subdivisions where new school desgin (nice master suites, huge houses, up to date fixtures and materials), etc.  Really a no brainer.....even MR couldn't convince herself that ANY of the 30 houses we looked at in SD A were something she wanted to live in. (and if you know how MR rolls, we were looking at $$ everything)

The funny thing is, if someone had a halfway decent house in subdivision A, we would have paid 1.5-1.75x what we paid for subdivision B house.

Go for it JU....if all else fails, Reg will partner up with Gro and buy you out for .50 on the dollar.
