A friend of mine here in Florida was a sheriff just north of Denver in the 70's and 80's. They had an unsolved murder of a pretty, young woman, and they had long suspected Bundy of doing the murder. They got to interview him before his execution. He knew everything there was to know about the murder, but he would not confess to the killing. They left 99% sure Bundy was the murderer, but they couldn't close the case on a gut feeling.

Tony told me: "You're going to think I am crazy, but he wasn't anything like I was expecting. He was very friendly and polite and the kind of guy you would want for a friend. It still bothers me to this day that I liked the dude."

UConn losing makes me happy.

Ole Miss has got to be the worst team in the league at getting in a runner on 3rd with less than 2 outs.

I went in to China in 1989 to talk to officials at Beijing University about tools that were used for chip design. In their lab they had 30 sets of proprietary hardware and software that were banned from export to hostile countries like China. They call their system Dragon Master, but it was Chip Master from a company called Daisy.

I sat down at one of the systems and hit a few keys to make the software go to debug mode. I then moved around in the code to show them the names of the authors along with records of when and where the code had been written. They were shocked, and my team was immediately escorted into a small room and 2 armed guards with machine guns were placed at the door.

I assumed we were all about to get shot or best case go to jail. After about 4 hours this old guy in a Mao suit shows up and apologized for holding us while they did an investigation. He said some people at the university had been very bad, and he wanted to "make things right". He handed me a notarized check for $30,000 made out to me and wanted me to sign a sales agreement for the systems valued at more than $3M. I did it just to get out of there, and we caught the first plane we could get on from Beijing to Hong Kong.

When I got back to the US, I took the check to Daisy and told them the story. They didn't want the money because they didn't want to give the Chinese approval of how they handled it. They just told me to cash the check and use it or give it to charity.

China became part of my regular territory in 1993. In 4 years all of the old Mao guys had been replaced by younger men that wore western garb, and they were actually reasonable guys to work with.

MSU completes the sweep of Ole Miss 7-1.

MSU wins the series vs Ole Miss with a 6-1 victory. State has now won 9 of the last 10 series vs Ole Miss. That really does make no sense.

That OU guy did a short slide at 2nd. He was in easily otherwise.

The CF camera has been bobbing since the first pitch. Awful.

... and Bauer wears #24.

Good game, Texas.

12,887 in Starkville tonight for a mid-week game.
