Wannstead - Weis done and dusted
This week, Notre Dame coach Charlie Weis squared off against a common foe: Dave Wannstedt of Pittsburgh.
After failed stints as an NFL head coach with the Bears and Dolphins, he had nowhere else to go.
Charlie Weis also began his Notre Dame coaching career about four and a half years ago, but the circumstances were a little bit better.
In the fall of 2005, Weis and Wannstedt actually began their college head-coaching careers against each other.
But times have changed and these two coaches find themselves moving in opposite directions.
But then something strange happened: Pitt pulled it together and eked out a victory.. What do Florida Fans think about that.
Watching this game, it sure seemed like a changing of the guard between two former AFC East coaches..
Good luck to them both.
What we learned
1. Dave Wannstedt's teams are now capable of winning close games.
2. Rutgers has improved mightily since the beginning of the season.
3. Syracuse has not improved and is still the worst team in the Big East.

NASA’s Shuttle Atlantis Prepared for Launch in Florida
NASA readies space shuttle Atlantis for launch
The US space agency was readying the space shuttle Atlantis and its crew of seven astronauts for a Monday launch to deliver a load of spare parts to the International Space Station (ISS).
NASA’s space shuttle “Atlantis” stands on Pad 39A at the Kennedy Space Center, Florida on November 15, 2009. Who doesn't want to be in Florida To see this.
Chief launch meteorologist Kathy Winters also confirmed that "weather should be very good" at Kennedy Space Center on Monday, and said there was just a ten-percent chance of weather prohibiting the launch. Does anybody know how many shuttles have been launched from Florida
he rocket is Ares I-X — a suborbital prototype for the Ares I rocket NASA plans to use to launch its shuttle successor, the Orion spacecraft. Currently the world's tallest booster, the Ares I-X rolled out to the launch pad early Tuesday and is slated to blast off Oct. 27 at 8 a.m. EDT (1200 GMT) on a short demonstration flight.
The $445 million rocket's rollout comes on the eve of a final report from an independent committee appointed by the White House to review NASA's plans for future human spaceflight.. Here is something new I learned about Florida
The Ares I-X is not a full Ares I rocket. Its first stage is a four-segment solid rocket booster — repurposed from the shuttle fleet's inventory — capped with a dummy fifth segment. The thicker second stage, Orion crew capsule and launch abort system are also all mock-ups built to simulate the size and mass of the real thing.

Taylor Swift Country Music Association Awards
On Wednesday evening, Swift stormed the Country Music Association Awards 2009 and took home whole four prizes for which Swift was nominated, including the much-coveted Entertainer of the Year trophy. Atlanta car insurance
While it seemed like a corroborant of Swift's success from the country music establishment, not everybody was pleased with the 19-year-old's victory. Country music legend Wynonna Judd spoke out against Swift's victory, though she reversed her position on Thursday.
During an interview on the show's red carpet Wednesday night, Wynonna Judd was asked what advice she would give to Swift. "You want my loyal comment? It's too much too soon," Wynonna said, according to USAToday.com. "Time is God's way of keeping all from happening at once. It's just too much of a good thing too soon. Mom and I rode in a vehicle for the 1st year of our career to visit radio stations. There was a making of the star, there was a rising-up, and the fans went with us. Now it's over coffee breaks, the success, almost."
But on Thursday, Judd clarified her stance on the message board of her official Web site. "I understand that my comment about Taylor Swift's Entertainer of the Year nomination came across as a negative statement," Wynonna wrote. "My intent was not to take anything away from her talent and contributions to the country music industry, all of which are truly unprecedented for an artist of any age. Taylor is a beautiful, hard-working young woman that deserves the success she has had and I support her as an artist and as a woman in the business."
