Greetings from LA LA Land!
and a Merry New Year to all!!
This will be the seventh decade that I have lived in. Can 7 be my lucky number? Is it too much to ask to make this decade THE decade?

Happy 2010
Just got back from dinner the Blackhawks game and getting home with 3 minutes to spare to my parents to ring in the new year with the kids and spend some time before heading home. Left the kids with parents as the cousins are having a New Year’s Eve sleepover just like my cousins and I did when we were kids at my grandmothers.
My hopes for 2010 on a sports level in order of when they would happen.
1. Northwestern beats Auburn,
2. Lovie Smith, Jer ry Angelo and the entire coaching staff is fired from the Bears,
2. Dawson is elected to the Hall of Fame
4. The Bears hire Bill Cowher as head coach and Jim Harbaugh as OC.
5. Cubs get a leadoff hitter.
6. Cubs have awesome start to season.
7. Blackhawks win Stanley Cup.
8. Bulls land a major free agent in this awesome free agent class/
9.; Cubs win world series
10. Jay Cutler starts to show that he is what the Bears thought he was when they traded for him
10. Northwestern has another great season

The entire coaching staff of the Bears?
Dave Toub leaving would be a big loss.
I’d prefer to see John Paxson, Gar Foreman, and Vinny Del Negro unemployed in 2010. They are incompetent and useless.

Fair enough
Of course, we’re on opposite sides of the NFL allegiance!
I’m an Iowa (and Michigan State) fan tonight, though.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
Anyone got any tips on kicking cigarettes?
GO CUBS!
"I always tell the truth -- Even when I lie"
Set the package of cigarettes on the ground...
take careful aim, draw your right leg back and then thrust the leg and foot forward striking the package and propelling it upward into the air. Remember to follow through.
Now only 12,859 on the "Cubs Season Tickets Waiting List"...
Or give them to me - I'm a lost cause...

do it right NOW....before the Cubs start playing....
I quit a few years ago right after the season ended so I’d have about 6 months behind me.

Man, I guess right field at Wrigley really is hard to play...
…what with all those giant letters and fireworks and all…..
Happy New Year! May your 2010 be filled with excellent vision!

With the Cubs playing some other team -- that's what we're hoping for, right?
"You can observe a lot just by watching." ~ Yogi Berra
not to be picky, but if this is supposed to be the Cubs winning the WS
why are there not any red, white & blue banners along the edge of the stands?
No stock photos from the 3 play-off appearances in the last decade?
…I’m teasing! A great image to usher in the new year—it is a lot easier to dream in January as opposed to the hard reality of September/October.

Anyone watching the NU Game?
Just taking a break to show my cousin who was talking about lack of good Cubs talksites to show him BCB. Isn’t this an awesome game?
Brennan and Booth their Story Really begins November 2009
Watched the end of it
Was pretty confused by the final call of the game, but not having your regular kicker will inspire temporary insanity sometimes.
And the eighth and final rule: if this is your first time at Fight Club, you have to fight.
stupid call..
… just dumb. Missing your regular kicker or not (who had a poor game), it was a short field goal.
How the hell did they beat Wisconsin?
Horrible play from their QB and Kicker today.

the secondary
Kafka eviscerated the Badgers pass defense and they executed their game plan perfectly. While it prob. wouldn’t have made a difference, I am surprised that Jacory Harris didn’t pass more.
Watching the Cap. One Bowl, they should be embarrassed by the condition of that field. The Big Ten and SEC should demand improvements for next year.
I didn't see much of the UW-NU game
You’re right about the field in the Cap One game. What a mess. 57 seconds left to even up the conference bowl record.

That should be interesting . . . the guy’s a kid.

I'm a syfy fan and why I never watched Dr Who baffles me....
can you just jump into the series or should I start at the beginning….but what beginning, the PBS series or the syfy channel series….what’s the best way to get started???

I don't think it matters
Just jump in and enjoy. Any questions you have, you can ask any of us to fill you in…
FYI, BBC America has been running Dr Who marathons in preparation of the new Doctor. The final David Tennant episode is being shown tonight (Satuday).

The newer stuff has very good acting and special effects
The original has laughable effects (but good acting). I prefer the writing of the older stuff, but John’s right – you should be able to jump right in.

I think he'll be on BBC America
I’m not sure if they’re going to go through SyFy anymore. Which is ok with me, because the last year was just five specials instead of a series, and I was able to watch the first three on YouTube earlier than I could on TV . . .

I heard BBC Am was bringing back Life On Mars too which I loved….I like that station….the sci-fi shows seem to have a longer life on that channel.

I hope I can pick it up from here, it was really good...
but I think I’ll wait to watch the old ones till I figure out what’s going on now and how far I’ll need to go back.

Not a mission per se
The character started out on the run from his own people. It never was explained why, exactly, but there were several theories.
Essentially, he goes around looking for adventure and winds up finding trouble, and tries to fix it.

Happy New Year
Can’t wait until the 2011 season is upon us !!!!
The Blackhawks and the Stanley Cup in 2010.
Side note
I can win the weirdest way to find out about the Byrd signing.
I had been radioless all day and a friend who’s not a sports fan when our group was sending around Happy New Year emails noted a radio station during their sports updates was playing Peter Griffin singing Bird is the Word from the Family Guy, Then I realized we must have signed Byrd.

Lou Piniella has got to be pissed
Count me as being unsurprised if Lou Piniella quits before spring training even arrives. I am being 100% dead serious here. There is no way he can be happy with this horse bleep roster being put into his custody. No way on God’s green earth is he happy.
Piniella quit once in Tampa Bay. There is nothing to stop him from quitting again.

Since you’re not a Cubs fan anymore have you picked one new team?
