Bob Davie signs 5-year contract extension! Check out the news from Yahoo! and ESPN.

I’m a Hoosier, and I’d like nothing more than to see ND beat the pants off I.U. this week. At the same time, though, I almost don’t want I.U. to get their ass kicked all season, because I feel that will vindicate a lot of the people who think getting rid of Knight was a mistake. And I do think the man had some, uh, issues.

Sorry, Kel, but this Andersen Consulting guy who spoke at ND sounds like a real wanker. I mean, whose side is he on? He says that e-commerce hurts businesses by making the market more efficient. Should that be a goal? Shouldn’t we, as the world’s foremost example of capitalism, be striving to give consumers as much “perfect information” as possible? Why is it good that companies only survive because people are deliberately restricted from looking for competition? Obviously this guy’s on the side of the “fat, dumb and happy” retailers and not on the side of consumers.

Apparently every student who wants a Fiesta Bowl ticket will be able to buy one this week for $75. I’m impressed; I figured there’d be a lottery or something. There’s also information on the tailgater, pep rally, and travel accommodations if you’re interested.

So the Observer’s all full of passionate letters about the possible ordination of women, and yet meanwhile here in England, a vicar returned to her pulpit after a sex change operation. Kickass. God, I’m happy to be here.
