The battle between Alabama and LSU is the kind of game every high school player dreams of playing in. Two heavy weights going toe to toe on national television with championships on the line. LSU held a 15-10 lead going into the fourth quarter after scoring some success against the ...Published on: 4th November, 2009
For the second year in a row, Alabama and LSU tangle with a trip to Atlanta on the line. This used to be Auburn's gig with the annual cat-fight to determine the West. While LSU remains a top team, Alabama has replaced Auburn as the dance partner. For the Tigers perspective ...Published on: 2nd November, 2009
I'll tell you up front, I'm not a “stats” guy; I look at stats, but I trust my gut more. When I attempt to predict the future, I don't look at stats, but only the last few weeks. In college football momentum means far more than what happened ...Published on: 29th October, 2009

“Always in motion is the future.” - Yoda, Jedi Master There are sites on the Internet that quote the fictional character Yoda from Star Wars as “One Minute Wisdom” Though to me Yoda sounds suspiciously like Kermit the frog, the future is in motion and the predictions are haphazard ...Published on: 27th July, 2009
My boss owns a software company with many employees. We deal in high-tech products, but when it comes to an organizational chart, he uses sticky notes on a white board. If you are stuck at the top of a list, that's good; being at the bottom is bad. Sticky ...
