I never watched the opening ceremony before (well, I only got to see the end of this one), but damn, that's crazy.

Re: OS Off Topic

My car is rebelling against me, sometimes it wont start. I take it to the mechanic, and it started every time for 3 days. I try to drive it off the lot and it wouldnt crank.

Mechanic said he would come tow me from anywhere for free if it starts doing it while i'm at work.

Where did the love for Clemson come from, and how come there's absolutely no mention of VT at the top of the ACC? I know we're a lower-level conference (damn you all) but I don't see how Wake and Clemson are more likely to win the ACC than Tech.

Speaking of German soccer, I had a dream last night that I got into a Bundesliga match for like 2 Euros.

Yep I bet it's awesome being a corporate whore eh? I'm just playing, but it does seem like most soccer kits are walking billboards for major corporations. My father got a Manchester (I think Man U?) jersey from a relative in England and I swear if you didn't know what the team was you'd think it's Team AIG

People don't even look at the sponsor.

I look awesome in the jersey, that's all that matters really.

The Hokies lost a TON of people to the NFL Draft this past year, and I'm not sure they are quite on the level that other major programs are where they can just plug people in and they are automatically awesome, a la USC or Oklahoma or some other top-tier program. That said, they have to be the favorites in the Coastal until a different program emerges as a legitimate threat... Miami has fallen off but has the best chance of coming back based on sheer talent, UNC looks poised to make the jump but they still have to actually do such, Duke is Duke, UVa has had too much off-the-field trouble, and Georgia Tech probably will need to recruit some players to properly run Paul Johnson's system.

Also, Clemson is returning the top quarterback in the conference, the top running back in the conference, and the top receiver in the conference, not to mention they are loaded on defense. Notwithstanding the annual Tommy Bowdeon chokejob, I have no problem with them being picked as favorites at this point.

Not sure where the love for Wake is coming from though; they're a good team and have a number of good players, but not sure they have the horses to win the ACC, let alone their division.

Preston Parker doesn't play for Clemson.

Re: OS Off Topic

Preston Parker doesn't play for Clemson.

Aaron Kelly of Clemson had, out of all returning ACC receivers, the most receptions, receiving yards, and receiving touchdowns last season. That was my basis for that comment.

I understand that statistics don't tell the whole story, but having never personally seen Preston Parker play, I can't make the argument for him.

Re: OS Off Topic

On Tuesday almost everyone at work will be on a trip, so I plan to come early and print some stuff I need. Mostly business cards for me and my wife. I've put about 20 of them (for each one of us) on A3 page, put crop marks to mark every card's crop spot, saved it as a PDF Press file - and then I'm gonna print it on a special hard paper we have there. I always say, that if you can take advantage of the equipment at work - do it!
