  • Your New Scoop Site

    Welcome to Scoop!

    To help you figure things out, there is a Scoop Admin Guide which can hopefully answer most of your questions.

    Some tips:

    • Most of the layout is changed in "Blocks", found in the admin tools menu
    • Features can be turned on and off, and configured, in "Site Controls" in the admin tools menu
    • Stories have an "edit" link right beside the "Full Story" link on an index page, and right beside the "Post a Comment" link on the full story page. They can also be edited by clicking the story title in the "Story List" admin tool
    • Boxes are what allow you to write new features for Scoop; they require a knowledge of the perl programming language to work with effectively, although you can often make small changes without knowing much perl. If you would like a feature added but cannot program it yourself, ScoopHost does custom Scoop programming as one of its services.
    • If you aren't sure where to look for a particular feature or piece of display, try the "Search Admin Tools" link in the admin tools menu.

    For support, questions, and general help with Scoop, email support@scoophost.com

    ScoopHost.com is currently running Scoop version Undeterminable from .

    5 Bucks Ain't Enough But 1 is Too many

    The campaign is on, and those stimulus dollars will make up for all the lost pizza money contributions.

    From those disillusioned graduates staring at the faded Obama 08 posters in their rooms.  In their mom's basement.

    And just to make sure that you pigskin loving patriots out there don't beat the tar out of the wife or girlfriend because she is a little slow with your beer and nachos, the administration has a new PSA out.  Airing at special times during your favorite college football game, its a classic re-election ad.

    Your tax dollars at work.

    Next week they will reportedly put out a new don't blow up the local abortion clinic ad.

    Sparty Tears Taste Like Sugar

    That sign in the stands last night.

    The obvious taunt to the MSU fan who wishes it could have been State at the Sugar bowl instead of the the wolverines was written crudely on the pink cardboard sheets and held up proudly as the U of M team played the toughest game of its season.

    A game by the way, which for some, may likely have had divine interference.  I am not one who believes God has intervening interest in sporting contests, but to watch the Sugar Bowl, it wouldn't be hard to conclude the scores were backward most of the game.  All the stats were in Virginia Tech's favor, and the Michigan offensive line was seemingly crippled by a stacked defense.  But somehow, the outcome of the game was cast in overtime and decided in Michigan's favor 23-20. Many will conclude it was a strange event.

    Prestidigitation, illusion, sleight of hand.  All terms that might be appropriately used in describing the end of a contest where the the visual, the virtual, defied the reality.

    Magic.

    Some bad juju unfortunately for V tech, who had its kicking team decimated prior to the first snap with a home invasion charge on its top dog kicker, and a curfew violation sending home the second best. (Or vice versa)  The end result? A player with only a single successful kick last year, becoming a hero and showing three successful attempts for the first three VT scores. In the end however, only to fall in OT with a missed "easy" kick.  No one heard the angel blow the ball to the right, so it must have been the wind .. in that enclosed arena.

    No matter.  It happened. And the Wolverines in a game that was as sweet as its designation, prevailed.

    And MSU?

    Somehow, I doubt their triple OT win over Georgia is any less so (sweet).  For them it might well be quite Splendid. Or at the very least, Splenda.

    "When I think about our nation's future and the direction the Obama administration and Democrats in Congress are taking us, it's clear to me that electing more Republicans will not be enough...what we need are strong, conservative leaders who will have a national platform to articulate our conservative principles." - Sen. Rick Santorum
