My Missouri Tigers haven't beaten the Oklahoma Sooners in football since 1998, but they finally did it on Saturday. The fact that Oklahoma was the number one college football team in the nation just makes the victory that much sweeter. Here's a video featuring highlights from the game, including the Missouri fans storming the field and taking down the goal posts. Mizzou is now 7-0, but they have a tough game next weekend vs Nebraska. Go Mizzou!

Since I don't drink coffee, why would I have a kettle to make coffee? Did you notice the toaster in the 700 baht room? I figured you'd be thrilled by that, since you consider toaster ownership such an important indicator of success. It honestly never dawned on me to look at whether the toilet walls reached the ceiling. Guess that's because it wouldn't bother me one single bit if they didn't reach the ceiling. I don't think the rooms at the new location have windows that face the beer bar complex next door, so I'm sure it's not as bad as when I stayed at the old lo

On my next trip to Pattaya I'll spend the night at Sky Top and see if the electrical situation is an issue for me. I've had a drink in Tropical Berts but not seen the rooms. 650 is at the top of my personal price range, but may have to look at it. Is that "B/F" a breakfast or a barfine that is included?

Not beating a dead horse or trolling, just providing an updated review. I actually, sincerely like the place and think it has gotten a bad rap on this board. I have no investment or interest in the place. I took time out of my trip to Pattaya and actually went down there and took a look for myself. How many of you naysayers have actually been there and looked at the rooms? Anybody? I wasn't familiar with the owner (Pete) misrepresenting himself on this board. I agree, that's wrong. I disagree Steve, it is not a dump. I also wouldn't use MM's words "plain and average". Yzi, pe

I stayed at the old Sky Top for one month back in 2005 and at the new location (just down a few doors from the old one) a couple of times, but it's been a year or two and I wanted to see if it was like I remembered. I went down there on Saturday afternoon, October 16th, 2010. All these pics were taken by me on that day. First I was attracted by the cute girl minding the bar out front (Naree Bar). Her name was On and though her face was average she had a nice figure. She's hiding behind the Doreman pilow in this picture. She wouldn't let me take a picture of her. We playe

Halliday labors for 12 years with the Blue Jays, never sniffing the play-offs, then, in his first post season game, throws a no hitter. Amazing.

Just because I find pretty much every soccer match boring, even when they score a couple of goals, does not mean I feel the same about baseball. On the contrary, I agree that some of the best games I have watched have been 0-0 pitcher's duels. Nothing better than two pitchers who are in a groove taking turns on the mound confounding hitters. I am no fan of 15-10 baseball games. I appreciate good pitching and good defense. Hell, I grew up a Royals fan, and that's how we won in the 70's with Whitey Herzog as manager. Guess I'll have to tear myself away from the week 4 NFL highlights and

So many to choose from. Let's go back to 1938, one of my all-time favorites Bringing Up Baby

I wasn't being literal. My point was Maddux wasn't known for being a power pitcher, but he's one of the best pitchers in MLB history. Back to Chapman, he's currently 2-2, with 16 strikeouts in 11 innings of work and a 2.38 ERA. He was a September call up so I'm guessing he won't be on the Reds play-off roster.

He was very good in The Cooler

Rookie tight end Tony Moeaki makes a beautiful one-handed touchdown grab in the Chief's victory over the 49ers. http://www.nfl.com/videos/nfl-game-highlig...b4/Oh-my-Moeaki

I agree with everything you guys say. A guy like Greg Maddux is a Hall-of-Fame pitcher even when he never bumps the radar gun over 80. Speed means very little if you can't get hitters out. Still, 105 mph. No one has ever thrown a pitch that fast. It does impress me. I stood next to the bullpen and watched Zack Grienke warm up a couple years ago when the Royals were in Phoenix to play the Diamondbacks. I'm guessing he didn't break 90 mph, but standing that close and watching the white blur that sounded like a gunshot everytime it landed in the catcher's mitt. It impressed me.

The season began with Washington Nationals phenom Stephen Strasburg. Now it's ending with the Reds fire-baller Aroldis Chapman and a MLB record. From Yahoo Sports: SAN DIEGO – Aroldis Chapman(notes) was summoned from the bullpen one batter too late to make a difference in the game. No matter. The 22-year-old Cincinnati Reds left-hander made do by making history Friday night, throwing the fastest pitch recorded in a major league game, a 105-mph fastball. The blazing pitch pushed a white-hot pennant race to the back burner. Yes, the San Diego Padres won the game 4-3 to pull ahead of

Good movie, directed by Peter Jackson, and I actually remember the other girl's name Melanie Lynskey

One of the best movies of 2008, IMHO Revolutionary Road

I just can't get excited about baseball this year. I'll probably get into it once the play-offs start, but right now it's all NFL.

Wait thru the commercial and you'll see the highlights. It was an exciting and bizarre first week. Chris Johnson and Arian Foster go off. Michael Vick rose from the ashes. A last second non-catch for the Lions, and a very costly last second penelty for the Boys. http://www.nfl.com/videos/nfl-videos/09000...-back-at-Week-1 Looking forward to a great season.
