Does Raymond Chandler count as crime/mystery?

I loved the Hercule Poroit books as a good, quality entertainment.

can’t say as that one has crossed by mind, didn’t know murder on the orient express was Poirot. I shall check this one out, too.

Who wants to spend all that money to go to Glendale Arizona (middle of nowhere) and see your team get trounced?
/Phoenix sucks.

I wasn’t impressed for the BCS game. I’d go back if I could play at least 2 rounds of golf.

I can’t believe I’m about to say these words, but if Connecticut lost money on one cross country trip, then what makes anyone think they would make money on having at least 2 or 3 road trips that could also potentially be cross country through a playoff format.

I’m still for a playoff but my intensity of preference at this point ranks below my preference of which socks I wear to work each day.

The other problem is you can get a better deal on tickets on Stub Hub than buying through the School.

So UCONN spent $1.8 million for a 4 hour commercial for their university? There are worse uses of cash.
