Lost Time Is Not Found Again: Jan. 12, 2009

By Ryan Corazza

Lost Time Is Not Found Again is what the MPS blog crew is reading today.

+ Erin Andrews has a sister. Oh boy. {Busted Coverage.}

+ A photo of Mark Cuban in the early years. I hope this picture was taken somewhere around 8th and Dunn in Bloomington, Ind. {Ball Don’t Lie.}

+ “Saturday Night Live” takes on the BCS. {With Leather.}

+ How some NFL teams would look different with a Tecmo Bowl running back. {Gunaxin.}

+ Non-sports: Think all the snow this weekend was bad? Just wait for the rest of this week. {Chicago Breaking News.} Can the New York Times survive the death of newsprint? {The Atlantic.}

Quotable:

“If there is one position I am absolutely certain about at the end of this chaotic year, it’s Florida at No. 1. The Gators defeated 10 bowl teams (second-best was Oklahoma with seven), faced the second-toughest schedule in the nation based on opponents’ collective winning percentage and won by the highest average margin of victory. Eleven of their 13 wins were by 23 points or more, with only one rock-bottom embarrassment on the schedule (The Citadel, which UF trounced by 51) and four wins over teams that finished in my top 15, twice as many as anyone else except Southern Cal, which beat three top-15 outfits. Florida beat two top five teams, Oklahoma and Alabama, by double digits. As I said on Friday, a missed extra point against Ole Miss — which subsequently won nine and finished in everyone’s top 15 its own self — isn’t nearly enough to bring a resumé that strong to earth. The Gators are No. 1, and for all of the (legitimate) talk of a split title, it’s not close.” – Matt Hinton, Dr. Saturday
