Another Upset

Sunday, September 28, 2008

Florida GatorsDo you remember when Robin Williams attempts to teach Nathan Lane how to be a real man in The Birdcage? It’s one of my favorite scenes in one of my favorite movies. Williams asks,

How do you feel about that call today? I mean the Dolphins! Fourth-and-three play on their 30 yard line with only 34 seconds to go!

How do you think I feel? Betrayed, bewildered …

Today it was the Gators and fourth and one with a little under a minute to go. Either way it’s the same. I just can’t believe it. Again. How does the Heisman trophy winner fail to get a single yard? You really can’t blame Tebow, though. That game was lost on the sidelines.

It was another brutal early season weekend in college football. (Didn’t this happen last year, too?) Yes, seven of the AP top twenty-five teams lost, but that doesn’t make it any easier if you happened to be on the losing side.

A Sad Day

Monday, October 14, 2002

With five games involving Top 25 teams Saturday, there was much shuffling in the rankings. The most significant moves were Iowa State cracking the top 10 for the first time at No. 9, and Florida (4-3) dropping out after a run of 209 consecutive polls.

The Gators, 36-7 losers to LSU, had taken over the longest-running poll streak from Nebraska, which fell out three weeks ago after a record run of 348 in a row.

MicroPoll

Wednesday, January 16, 2002

A few people have asked me about the MicroPoll in use on the “FingerTouch” post. I snagged it from Technoerotica!

Any time you see anything interesting here at davidgagne.net relating to code or web design or blogging, there’s a better-than-even chance that I’ve described how I did it (or written a tutorial even!) on my Projects blog. Check it out!

MicroPoll

Saturday, January 12, 2002

I just downloaded and installed the MicroPoll system from technoerotica. I think it’s a killer, tiny, perfect-for-blogs polling script. Do you agree?

Note that only one person besides me chose beer. You rock.
