Now up for rookie of the year -- Jesse Orosco
It's a bad sign for the Grammys when a band featured on the lunchtime retro show is nominated for Best New Artist. On the plus side, it was cool to hear this song on the radio since I missed it when it first came out.

NRA Ken sold separately
If it were cheaper, this would make for a great trash tournament prize.

T-W-E-A-K
Mark has already touched on the new season of Lingo, and I think the show looks and feels even more foreign than when it was taped in Amsterdam. The set, the somewhat dulled out picture and the blonde co-host (complete with accent) all contribute to this. Also, Chuck Woolery looks a lot slimmer and isn't as quick with the quips as before. Maybe that separation took a lot out of him.

Coming up lemons
Now it looks like Northwestern may not go bowling (or get blown out by Bowling Green) after all. The SEC may get the second BCS berth no matter what, especially when you consider Florida is going to the Outback instead of the long-rumored Peach Bowl berth. With that move, it looks like Tennessee moves into the BCS, the Georgia-LSU loser going to the Capital One (nee Citrus) against Ohio State (instead of the BCS). And with the Buckeyes not in the BCS, there won't be enough Big Ten bowl spots and the 'Cats stay home.
I'm not really disappointed if it doesn't happen since 6-6 only made it a technicality to qualify for a bowl, and it's not necessarily indicative of a good season. It was a decent season, given everything, but is it bowl worthy? I'm not sure. The one potential positive is that 10-2 Northern Illinois may go bowling after all since two SEC teams in the BCS would free up the Independence Bowl to take an at-large team.
What's really strange is while it's fun to figure out who goes where, a lot of the matchups already announced do little for me. Many of them look like those very average Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday night ESPN games where average teams hog the national spotlight because it's the only thing on. Sure, I'll watch, but only because of a couple of bowl pools. Ah, the joys of gambling (or pseudo-gambling)!
