    Disney to acquire Lucasfilm

    DISNEY TO ACQUIRE LUCASFILM LTD. | The Walt Disney Company To be honest, it is in my opinion good for the franchises that George is stepping away. Not quite sure how to feel about their statement that they want to pump out a new movie "every 2 to 3 years". It seems like Disney/Pixar/Skywalker...

    MLB: Big series this weekend

    Well, when the Tiggers head West to the Dome this could very well decide the Central. Detroit has had so many opportunities to put the Twins/Pale Hose away, but haven't been able to do it. If the Twins can take 2/3 or sweep things get really exciting. The Tiggers are down 5-0 to the Royals...

    Big XII Coaches Ranked Worst to First

    Daily Nebraskan - Big 12 coaches: from worst to first Rhoad's at 7th and described as a player's coach. I like that, a lot. Pelini is a little high at 3 IMO (the jolly Italian fat guy I think deserves to be top 3), but I guess it's from the Daily Nebraskan. The writer really doesn't care...

    MLB: Twins Pick up OCab from A's

    Looks like the Twins picked up Orlando Cabrera for Tyler Ladenorf (minors SS). Decent pickup. If we were gonna take someone from the A's I'd rather have Adam Kennedy, but this will allow the team to put him at short, rotate Casilla/Pinto at 2nd and use Harris to spell Crede at 3rd. Twins...
