Changing the Clip on a Spyderco Para-Military 2

The Spyderco Para-Military 2 has four positions for the mounting of the clip.  To change the clip to another position you will need a T7 Torx screwdriver. I ordered mine from Amazon.com.  The total price for a 6-piece set was $5.31 plus shipping.  To reposition the clip, remove the three screws, then retighten in the new desired position.  Easy as that.

Review of Spyderco Captain

I recently purchased a Spyderco  Captain.  This is my third Spyderco.  I purchased this knife from PDQ Blades.  Great customer service and fast shipping.

This knife is no longer made by Spyderco, but you can still find it on ebay and other sites.

USC Sanctions

There was no good news for USC football when the NCAA handed down its sanctions.  The Trojans will face the following:

The Trojans may also lose their 2004 National Championship.

Basketball For Whites Only

Not since the Louisiana magistrate denied marriage for interracial couples have we seen such an unenlightened point of view,

But here’s the kicker: According to a press release the newspaper and other Augusta media outlets received from the new league, “only players that are natural-born United State citizens with both parents of Caucasian race are eligible to play in the league.”

Thank you Moose Lewis, for setting back race relations at least 50 years.

USC Football: No Norm Chow For Now

It was previously reported that Norm Chow would be joining Lane Kiffin at USC.  Apparently Chow is not interested in moving across town to USC, he will remain at UCLA.

Norm Chow declined the chance to switch teams again in Los Angeles’ fierce football rivalry.

Chow said Thursday he’ll stay at UCLA for his third season as offensive coordinator, rebuffing overtures from Lane Kiffin to return to Southern California.

After a couple of uneasy days during which the Trojans openly courted Chow, UCLA coach Rick Neuheisel was grateful to learn his widely respected offensive mastermind had passed on a lucrative contract offer at USC.

Media Reaction To USC Head Coach Lane Kiffin

The reaction to USC hiring Lane Kiffin as the new head coach of the Trojans has drawn impassioned reactions from all media sources.

• Gene Wojciechowski – Kiffin has no credibility
• Dan Wetzel – I don’t think this was the worst move by the Trojans
• Peter Schrager – Lane Kiffin is leaving Tennessee in a state of rubble and shrapnel
• Dennis Dodd – Lane Kiffin? Lane Kiffin? Really? Ha ha! No, seriously, really?
• Michael Rosenberg – Well, I really have to hand it to the USC Trojans: They aren’t even faking it anymore.
• Stewart Mandel – Welcome to college football in 2010.

USC Football: Kiffin, Chow, Orgeron Back At USC

According to ESPN,

Tennessee’s Lane Kiffin has been named the next head coach at Southern California, athletic director Mike Garrett announced on Tuesday.

Kiffin replaces Pete Carroll, who jumped to the NFL as coach of the Seattle Seahawks.

“We are really excited to welcome Lane Kiffin back to USC,” Garrett said in a statement. “I was able to watch him closely when he was an assistant with us and what I saw was a bright, creative young coach who I thought would make an excellent head coach here if the opportunity ever arose. I’m confident he and his staff will keep USC football performing at the high level that we expect.”

It is also being reported that Kiffin will bring his father, Ed Orgeron, and Norm Chow, in what is being called a “blockbuster deal.”  Sorry UCLA.  For those claiming USC would not win without Norm Chow, that is now a worry of the past.  Norm Chow and Matt Barkley, that will be a formidable team.  Yes, Matt Barkley confirmed he is staying at USC.  And so is C.J. Gable.

That should also cover recruiting with Orgeron, word is he is already working.  As for defense, it does not get better than Monte Kiffin.

Charlie Weis And His Comments About Pete Carroll

Weis is now backing away from the reckless comments he made about Coach Carroll.

Weis later claimed his comments were meant to be general statements about false Internet rumors and their impact on coaches’ lives.

 

These are the statements that Weis make about Coach Carroll,

“Let me ask you this question: You guys know about things that go on in different places. Was I living with a grad student in Malibu, or was I living with my wife in my house? You could bet that if I were living with a grad student here in South Bend, it would be national news.

“He’s doing it in Malibu and it’s not national news. What’s the difference? I don’t understand. Why is it OK for one guy to do things like that, but for me, I’m scrutinized when I swear. I’m sorry for swearing; absolve my sins.”

USC UCLA Pregame: UCLA Mascot Attacked By USC Students

The Men of Troy will face their cross-town rivals the Bruins of UCLA on 28NOV09.  The Trojans are favored, on bodog, by 13 points.   UCLA has not defeated USC since 2006.

One of the enduring traditions between these two schools is attempting to paint the other school’s mascot.  The students of USC succeeded this year when they painted the UCLA Bruin, Joe Bruin, Cardinal and Gold.

Tommy Trojan will be guarded by students until the start of the game.  Tommy is also wrapped to protect him.  You can watch the vigil on TommyCam.

Stick A Fork In Fat Man Charlie Weis, He Is Done At Notre Dame

As mentioned on Dreadnaught here, here, here, here, and here, Charlie Weis must be fired.  Charlie lost today to UConn.  Yes, he lost to Navy and UConn in the same year.  Charlie, what happened to the the “decided schematic advantage“?

Wait, maybe you were misquoted.  You intended to say that with you as head coach, Notre Dame would have a “decided schematic disadvantage.”  That is what they have.  Take your cash, your FUPA, your barely-.500 winning percentage,  and your condescending attitude and go back to Jersey.  You are a joke!

Navy Over Notre Dame

Charlie Weis made history in 2007 by losing to Navy for the first time in 44 years.  He did it again today by losing to Navy  23 – 21.

This takes Notre Dame out of the BCS, with their third loss of the season.

This should increase the calls for Charlie Weis to be fired.  As mentioned here, here, and, here, Notre Dame needs a new coach.

Another note on the game, specifically on the coverage by NBC, the praise for Jimmy Clausen is getting worse every game.  Praising Clausen for his ability to make comeback wins in the 4th quarter is more of an indictment of Notre Dame.  They are losing for most of the quarters they play.  That is not a good thing.

USC V Oregon Prediction And Odds

The Trojans of USC travel to Eugene, OR to decide the Pac-10 championship against, the Ducks of Oregon.  Yes, the team with the worst uniforms in all of sports.  Here is a preview:

Hollywood couldn’t have scripted it better: Halloween night, the din of Autzen Stadium, crisp fall temperatures and No. 10 Oregon versus No. 4 USC in arguably the Pac-10’s biggest game of the season.

“It’s going to be crazy,” Ducks quarterback Jeremiah Masoli said. “It’s going to be one of those Autzen nights times 100.”

Oregon (6-1, 4-0) sits alone atop the conference standings with no league losses, threatening the hold the Trojans (6-1, 3-1) have had on the Pac-10 title for the past seven years.

The Ducks have won six straight games since an embarrassing 19-8 loss at Boise State in the opener, a game that got uglier when running back LeGarrette Blount punched a Broncos defensive end as he was leaving the field.

bodog has the game Oregon +3.

Dreadnaught prediction: USC over Oregon by 21 – 17.
