Not to sound like a complete misogynist, but does anyone else think its weird that the women's final four and championship is a day after the men's? it used to be the women's championship game was a week or two before the men's now its a day after. Aren't you supposed to save the best for last? Even as an Uconn alum, believe me, even though the women have been much more successful than the men, people especially around campus care 100x more about the men's team and sorry but thats just the way it is. Im all for title ix and equality and what not but you seriously can't compare the marketablility of the men's and women's game. what are your thoughts?

I'm not interested in the main girl dancing or the one who says "Ole". I like the short haired girl on the right. She's gorgeous!

As soon as this news broke out, WE HEARD THE TAPES! I don't remember the whole thing verbetem but we heard Blago say, "I'm just trying to make money..." A couple days later we hear that Jesse Jr was contestant number 5 and I'm sorry he looked guilty as sin. But still Rod will admit to no wrong doing. I think I remember hearing dispite the suspicion that he was trying to sell Obama's seat, they didn't have enough evidence to get a warrant to tap his phone so its inadmissable. So is that like some sorta mark furman type of thing? We know the guy is guilty but because evidence was gathered illegally, it can't be used? And I've got no problems with this Burris guy. Obviously Blago is going to pick a Democrat who is forever tied to this scandal and this Senator basically has to walk to water to even stand a chance to get reelected in a few years so they're all the same. I just think because it happened right before the Holidays, he was kind of saved and let the dust settle for a while with enough time for him to appoint someone before he's impeached. Please someone tell me if I missed something because I find it amazing he's still in office.

My friend told me there is a guy on post that shapes berets. I could do my own but I've seen them and they look high speed. Plus the headband isn't made of leather and is a neoprene material instead. They look a lot better really. Has anyone heard about this? Do you know the guy's store name and number? Thanks!!!

Anyone else notice a couple of episodes ago when the cast went out clubbing the same night Brianna freaked out about tasting coke after kissing that girl? Anyways, what was up with the track jackets worn by the guys? They all wore the same track jackets with will and greg matching with green ones and joey and the other tool wearing blue ones. Why?!?!?! Was it halloween? Were they working promoting something or another? Why else would grown men coordinate their outfits like that? If not for the cameras, halloween, or working, what self respecting girl would talk to any of those four guys after doing something lame like that? Did I miss something?

My exercise regiment includes weights 4 times a week followed by 20-30 minutes of running on the treadmill. I usually run about a 5K in that time (I track this with my Nike Plus and I'm a geek about getting my miles). I'm in the Army as well so my goal is a 13 minute 2 mile so I like the treadmill because it helps me focus on my goal and maintain my speed. I feel it takes me above that threshold of what I'm used to running. The problem is i tend to get shin splints. So I'm thinking if I doubled my distances and just ran every other day instead, would this help? Do the shin splints go away after I get used to running a faster pace and longer distances? Or am I possibly overtraining? PLEASE DON'T TELL ME NOT TO RUN ON THE TREADMILL. IT'S MORE CONVIENENT AND I THINK IT TRAINS ME BETTER. I DO RUN LAPS ON A SOCCER FIELD WHEN I CAN WHICH IS A MUCH SOFTER SURFACE. THANKS!!!!

What's up with Reverend Wright's attack on Cheney? That racist said he served six years in the military then says how many did Cheney serve. He's booed then a Caucasian woman takes the mic and and Wright gives us a piss poor salute. What branch of the military did he serve in? Or should I say what country? I know none of the American Armed Services salute like that? Nice curved hand there Jeremiah the bullfrog! Anyone else think that's outrageous?

So Roger didn't win the Austrialian Open to start the year... big deal. And Tiger is on a what, 6 or 7 tournament winning streak? Still I think he is just as dominating within his sport. Sure he could use a little more personality and maybe his nose is a litte weird looking, but:

WOULD HE BE JUST AS POPULAR IF NOT MORE POPULAR THAN TIGER IF HE WAS AN AMERICAN?

Neither play sports such as baseball, basketball, or (American) football which are more popular here, but tennis is more physically taxing. I think tennis clearly beats golf in the "Is it an actual sport?" debate.

What are your thoughts?

Who is that girl from the Zyrtec commercial? The one with the yellow top and short dark hair. Is she a new up and coming actress or is she pretty established? i'm crushin on her! It's hard to even find a link to the commercial or a pic to show you whom i'm talking about.

Entourage is one of my favorite shows. Now I'm not the hugest fan of hers but think she's okay but I think Anna Faris looks better with dark hair like the "Scary Movie" than she does with blonde hair in season 4 for Entourage or in "Lost in Translation." I don't see why people think she's "So Hot!" I think she's okay but while she is an actress (playing herself), she'd actually be a downgrade from the likes of Sloan or Emily on the show.

But I guess my real quesiton is, did anyone notice her Kool-Aid lips the whole time she was on the show? You have to know what I mean by Kool-Aid lips! I mean what was that? Did she happen to drink A LOT of Fruit Punch or Kool-Aid before every shot or was that some sort of post-acne scarring. Everyone else must have noticed! does she really look like that when she's upclose or the camera more zoomed in? Maybe sunburnt? I really wish i had a picture but I looked and couldn't find one. ;-(

Any Army Officers, probably 1LTs or CPTs, taking this? It sucks! The tests are hard and don't give any feedback. I'm the first person I know taking this course so it's not like there's a secret answer key going around, not that I know of at least. Anyone else having problems or annoyed by this? We can work together. Hooah. Army of One!

I want to get myself a E.C.W.C.S. parka. I definitely want the green but I've seen them plain or with the velcro for nametape and rank. Is it a regulation (or will there be a regulation soon)to have the one with the nametape and rank or can i just have the plain one? The plain one is quite cheaper. Is sewing my own velcro for the nametapes an option later or is that too much of a pain and/or just looks dumb.

websites for where I can order them would be good too! Ranger Joe's could have one thing I want then Supply Sergeant could have something else I want but I can never find the items on both catalogs. So ultimately I would pay two shipping fees. What other uniform sites are there besides those two?

I'm in my twenties and have been a serious tennis player growing up until high school and I graduated about 5 years ago. I was always good but never great enough to play in college (not to mention being too short) but played recreationally whenever the weather was ideal. Back then, Titatinum racquets were all the rage as well as longbody (28 in long or more) and I loved my Prince Michael Chang Titanium oversize (wish I could get another!!! )

My girlfriend is just starting out and I want to give her my old one and perhaps get a new one for myself. It seems like they don't make Longbodies anymore really or titaniums. What's the new technology out there I should be looking for? I've always been a loyal Prince guy and always been intrigued by Yonex but I'm open to anything.
