The other day we were discussing the Harlem Globetrotters and a friend wondered, "Hey, who plays for the Harlem Globetrotters?"
We went to their website and found the player roster.

I'm sure I'm duplicating any number of angry rants out there on the Web 2.0 Blog-o-sphere, but it's a little upsetting that "Calvin and Hobbes" and "Bloom County" are no longer with us, while incomprehensible midden heaps like "Alley Oop" and "Zippy the Pinhead" just keep on truckin'. [Note: I don't have the patience to follow "Alley Oop" but I think it's about a caveman who travels through time for some reason. As for "Zippy the Pinhead," your guess is as good as mine.]
A pin-up calendar based around engineers? How can we lose?
"Called "The Girls of Engineering 2007," it includes racy photos of actual Illinois engineering students. But despite nine months of work and 3,000 copies made, only 300 have been sold since the calendar went on sale last October."
Occasionally I like to take the position of devil's advocate and present the views and profiles of Vanderbilt Student Communications adversaries. Without further ado, here are today's most noted Vanderbilt media critics:
A few of us attended today's Tennessee senatorial campaign debate and we have quite a bit of content to post. Keep checking InsideVandy for coverage as it is produced.
Reflections on the game, now that it's over and I'm back at the dorms:
1. South Carolina fans are pretty obnoxious in victory.
2. The score was a palindrome, so I'm pretty sure we get to make a wish or something.
Yup, 24 South Carolina - 13 Vanderbilt.
Highlights since my last post:
Game attendance of 37,280.
Steven Bright has fractured his lower leg.
Some South Carolina scoring.
At the last moment of the second quarter, Chris Nickson scored a touchdown and Vandy made the extra point, bringing us to 17 South Carolina - 10 Vanderbilt.
A drive of 12 plays and 66 yards, and we have a field goal.
I think that horn gets louder every time it goes off and the Spirit of Gold sure is playing "Viva Las Vegas" a lot.
