I guess Sudoku has made the big time. I was listening to the White Sox broadcast of the Tribe game today on XM and they actually have Sudoku giveaways this year. Apparently, Sudoku books will be distributed to Sox fans on certain nights. Still waiting for the Jacobs Field sleepovers.

You can't riot over women's basketball. You just can't.

Meal of Links

The Peabody Awards were announced. Winners include: "South Park", "House", Scorsese's Dylan doc, and PBS' "Two Days in October", based on "They Marched Into Sunlight" by David Maraniss. I finished that book last month, simply because viewing "Two Days in October" sucked me in.

"London Calling" gets man arrested. Apparently, the taxi driver didn't like it.

Katie Couric moves to CBS, where I still won't watch her. No offense, but the rerun of "PTI" is on at 6:30.

Exercise Yard

The 100 greatest finishes in college football history. Good to see "On a fine, sunny Saturday. Buck Belue to Lindsay Scott...", as Keith Jackson would say, made the top 10. Amazingly, the Anthony Carter Homecoming game vs. Indiana barely cracked the top 30.

The immortal Bob Ufer with the call:

"The Wolverines are at the Indiana 45-yard line with six seconds left. There is time for just one more play. The season hangs in the balance. Okay. Under center is Wangler at the forty-five, he goes back, he's looking for a receiver, he throws downfield to Carter, Carter has it! Carter is...Ooooohhhhhh, Oh my God, Carter's scored!...[crowd going gaga]...Look at those Wolverines! 95 Wolverines are going into the endzone! Carter caught the pass! Indiana is stunned! Ufer is going out of his mind! I have never seen anything like this in all my 40 years of covering Michigan football! Anthony Carter, the Human Torpedo, caught the pass! Bo Schembechler is looking up, he's looking up at Fielding H. Yost in football's Valhalla, and Bo Schembechler says thank you Fielding Yost! Thank you Fielding Yost for that one! Look at the crowd! You cannot believe it! Michigan throws a 45-yard touchdown pass! Johnny Wangler to Anthony Carter will be heard until another 100 years of Michigan football is played!"
