Rant

How many bloggers have ever written the words, “I love Microsoft”? I can only think of one. But sometimes love fades.

Why? Because Microsoft came out with a new version of Internet Explorer last week, and it doesn’t show Hole Punch Sports properly. It’s not a big thing-the top search bar just overlaps the “Hole Punch Sports” box-but considering I’ve been nothing but a shill for that company, it’s a little weird. (Plus this website doesn’t even have pictures-I don’t know how you screw that up, but I guess they found the one possible way.)

There may be an easy fix, but I didn’t find it in several seconds of Googling, so I gave up, especially considering there’s a decent chance Blogger will fix it for me.

In the meantime, like my link-mate, I will point you in the direction of some alternatives. (Though I read and recommend the site, I’m not the Mike who commented on that particular post.) I tested this site with Firefox, Opera, Safari, Camino, Mozilla, and Konqueror, and each worked. I would have tried more, but those were really the only ones I could think of. In fact, I’m quite confident that Internet Explorer is the only browser on the entire planet that will have problems with this website. (Strictly speaking, that’s not true-AOL Explorer has the same problem, but it’s just IE with AOL’s name on it.)

You should probably update your computer anyway-I did-but don’t be surprised when the best site on the whole Internet ain’t so pretty anymore.

What I don't get is why, if momentum is their best asset, they'd come out with something that just doesn't work. (It does the same to your blog, for example.) It's like they're daring you to try something else.

Complacency, huh? Yeah. The thing that's weird to me is that I've still never heard anyone fall back on the ever-present college coach excuse, "Just wait until he can recruit players who fit his system."

Is that because no one in Colorado actually knows about college football, or because no one really cares?

National Basketball Association Finals Preview Blowout!

If you're looking for a stereotypical matchup breakdown for the NBA Finals between the Detroit Pistons and San Antonio Spurs, (Game One is tonight, 7 o'clock Mountain, ABC), you've come to the right place! Center: Ben Wallace, Pistons vs. Nazr Mohammed, Spurs Wallace might be the league's top defender, winning his third Defensive Player of the Year award this season and leading the Pistons in both blocks and steals. It's said he's an improved offensive player, but he still scores primarily on tips and wide-open dunks. "Big Ben" is horrific from the foul line, connecting on 42.8% this season. Also, his brother has taken on NBA players and can probably beat up Mohammed's brother. Mohammed has been a good fit for the Spurs since being traded from the Knicks. It appears Isiah Thomas may have finally made his first mistake as general manager in New York, as Mohammed has started every Spurs' playoff game, averaging 8.1 points to go with a solid seven...

Forget Brett Favre (*)

From my 2007 NFL season preview : Favre's not as good as he once was-who is?-but he's not the disgrace people make him out to be...I don't think he "deserves" to go out with another Lombardi or anything, but I hope he gets to leave on a good note. Oops. What a mistake. And I even knew this day was coming. Let me say that Brett Favre deserves to go down in history with whatever records he earns, so long as a giant asterisk is placed by each and every one of them. As you may have heard, Sunday's victory over the New York Giants made Favre the winningest quarterback in NFL history. I don't know what ESPN did on TV, but this record practically went unnoticed in the places I follow sports. But it's of crucial importance to me. Why? "Maybe someday down the road it will mean a lot," a typically humble Favre said after the 149th win of his career, moving past Hall of Famer [and indisputable greatest quarterback of all time] John Elway. Humble...

Did CU ever win the Pac-12?

In 2010, I bet a college buddy of mine (who longtime readers may remember as the only other contributor to Hole Punch Sports) that CU’s football team would not win the Pac-12 in the next 15 years. Guess what? It’s time for me to gloat, because I was right. Why we were doomed Back in the day, a lot of people made the argument that CU should join the Pac-12 because we’d get so much more TV money there. Of course, given college football is the answer to the question, “what if you had a sport where multiple teams were like the Yankees, and you created a whole universe of haves and have-nots?”, then yeah, you want to be aligned with some of the haves. But the question in my mind wasn’t, “will CU be better off with more money?” That’s an obvious yes. The question I asked was, will CU be any more competitive in their own conference if they’re competing against teams who are also getting more money? I couldn’t see why they would be. The mathematical angle Legend has it that Cowboys runn...
