That is assuming OSU and FSU win out.

I'm looking forward to the Auburn/Bama game. I think Bama will prevail, but things get interesting if Auburn wins. Lets say Auburn wins, and Mizzou wins out the year. Would we then have a scenario where the SEC does not have a team playing for the NC? We end up with FSU vs OSU?

Can't accuse the Cards of standing pat.

I'm bringing the slaw - anything else needed let me know. I plan to be there late Friday morning or around noon at the latest.

Yeah I'd take Tulo also. But to get Tulo they'll have to give something up, whereas Peralta is a free agent. Could be a negotiating ploy also, give Peralta a lowball offer and see if it scares the Rockies into easing on what they want for Tulo.

If OSU and FSU both win out, I can see OSU moving ahead of FSU, mainly as OSU will have to beet MI State in the Big 10 championship game.

Thanks for the report! I salute you and Donna for getting out on such a cold and windy day. Beautiful smallie, nice to see the JB is working!

They appear to be seriously pursuing hm. Supposedly he turned down their first offer of $52 million/4 years. The guy has some pop in his bat for a SS, but not a lot of range defensively. Seeing how he was involved in that PED scandal last year and got a 50 game suspension, it makes me wonder if his numbers may have been inflated by PED use? It's hard however to not trust Cards management and assume they know what they are doing.

After watching Baylor get spanked by OK State, it's probably a good thing they did not end up in the title game.

Good win for Mizzou, beating Ol' Miss in a tough away game. Texas A&M next. Oregon lost, Baylor beat - Mizzou moves up to #6 or #5?

Speaking of boats being towed... 30 years ago when I lived in Massachusetts, I used to do a lot of night fishing for bass. I usually fished a black jitterbug. I had this one man fiberglass canoe that weighed 40 lbs. or so and I could cart around in the back of my S-10. One night I was fishing a lake near my house and having a great time, bass fishing wasn't as popular then as it is now, and I think those fish in that lake had never seen a jitterbug at night. I caught several in the 5-7 lb. range. But the "one that got away" occurred as I was running the jitterbug down the side of a dock, huge bass erupted on it, I hooked it and held on as the monster pulled me and my canoe towards a small sailboat that was docked near the shore, I just couldn't get any leverage to turn it or get a really good hook set and it swam under the sailboat and got off. 10 lbs. maybe? I'll never know.

Is it a Black Friday sale, or does it start earlier in the week?

That would make me cry, not ripping the skin off the tip of my thumb, but getting a drop of superglue on the boat.

Yeah that would be something if you had 12' of leader out, trying to lip a nice bass.

Watch out on those "what's a good jerk bait" questions - it always seem to ignite a lot of debate. As far as deep divers, I'm planning to fish a Rogue Perfect 10 this year, tried it for a bit last year, caught some fish on it, but did not fish it a lot. They get down deep, 8-10 feet, and have that unique Rogue action. I had to attach suspend strips to them to get them to suspend however. It's a big bait, if you want something smaller, Lucky Craft has a lot of options in deeper diving baits. A Spro McRip in another deep diver you may want to look at.

Main thing I see in Bourjos stats that concerns me is that he strikes out about 1/4 at bats and he doesn't get a lot of walks. Here's some info on Grichuk, the other guy they got in the trade. He definitely has some potential. http://www.stltoday.com/sports/baseball/professional/birdland/who-is-randal-grichuk/article_a9bf7506-2f6f-5b1a-bac5-1c7354f33981.html

I haven't been up the WE arm since summer, but If I was going I'd probably try a Wiggle Wart around chunk rock banks - try and position your boat parallel to and near the bank so you can keep that Wart in contact with the bottom/rocks for as much of the retrieve as possible, I'd also want some wind on the banks if I was going to fish the Wart. Texas rigged tubes have been working for me lately, work them around laydowns, bluff ends and chunk rock. Hop the tube back to the boat, or slow drag it, keep bottom contact. You might also try a jig around timber, I've talked to some guys on Table Rock who have been picking up largemouth working a jig around pole timber, but they are swimming the jig for suspended fish rather than working it on the bottom. I'd also throw a jerkbait around.

Yes good to hear the jerk bait is working. I've been thinking about getting out tomorrow, having a hard time talking myself into it.

Baylor and OSU are pretty close in the BCS rankings, if, and it's a fairly good sized if, Baylor beats Okie State and assuming OSU wins, I would think Baylor would jump ahead of OSU.

Now you have to wonder if John Jay will be traded also.

Yeah it felt heavy, but it wasn't moving a lot - I thought I had a good sized walleye.

The Royals signed Jason Vargas for 4 years at a cost of $32 million. Seems like a lot of dough for a #3 or #4 guy in the rotation, but I guess it's the going rate.

Now there's a big mess with the FSU QB.

That is a nice one!

Nice eye!
