- His partner Neal Caffrey is dreamy. -- nm - Mop Jan 23, 07:10
- that's awkward. -- nm - loosilu Jan 23, 07:10
- Have no idea what show you're talking about. Either way, though...this show is about Purefoy and Bacon...anyone else is secondary. -- nm - Jim Jan 23, 07:06 4

NCAA: Mizzou coach Frank Haith expected to be hit with a "show cause" penalty, similar to Bruce Pearl - Strongbad Jan 23, 06:39 11
- so he fits right in with the rest of the SEC then. -- nm - tRuMaN Jan 23, 06:54
- (which will also be attached to all 3 of his assistants. What's not sure is whether this will force Mizzou to fire him) -- nm - Strongbad Jan 23, 06:45 8
  - They will. It's pretty much a foregone conclusion that he's gone if this comes down. - Jim Jan 23, 06:46 7
    - The debate is whether he has to be fired in-season. - David Jan 23, 06:54 6
      - None of the assistants are currently at Mizzou so they'd have a nearly full complement of coaches -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 23, 07:06 4
        
        That makes it easier but the NCAA and school should still let him finish the season. -- nm - David Jan 23, 07:14 3

    - how does the parlay affect the odds? -- nm - Don Homer Jan 23, 05:15 1
      - so I'd have to pick two separate games, say the odds were 1.4 and 4 and I bet $2: $2 x 1.4 x 4 so I could win $11.20 - Beaker Jan 23, 05:37

- the longer the shot the better too (so Django Unchained, if I bet $2 I would win $162 (2x81) is the way our system works) -- nm - Beaker Jan 23, 04:53
