  1. the hell kind of defense was that? that was just a simple slant.
  2. yeah i was wondering what the hell he was doing, there was only one ohio st guy between the RB and the end zone and the fullback just ran past him and fell down.
  3. k-state struggled to beat friggin umass last week. they suck. bill snyder (a.k.a. dick cheney's doppelganger) should have stayed retired.
  4. haha did the guy dotting the "i" in ohio drill the ABC camera with his horn? (whatever that horn is called)
  5. lane kiffin is probably going to regret all that trash talk. if they aren't good enough to beat ucla at home, they're going to get stomped by the good teams in the SEC this year.
  6. into the penn state-michigan clock three years ago. [/bitter penn state fan]
  7. that's the best part of this game. someone is guaranteed to lose.
  8. attaboy fight for that extra yard, keep the clock running.
  9. way to not throw the ball away there.
  10. assuming that bama beats FIU, the top 5 will be florida, texas, alabama, either USC or ohio st (in other words, USC) and either you guys or penn st. i don't see BYU moving ahead of either team (though they do look very good) and USC or ohio st will drop with a loss.
  11. I rewound it, after the fist pump he shooshed the crowd. Brutal penalty call. that's NCAA rules. jake locker got a penalty for jumping up and chest bumping one of his receivers after scoring a TD a couple of years. they're strict about taunting; the shoosh signal is clearly taunting the other team's fans and throwing the flag there is very much consistent with the way the NCAA has flagged celebrations for years.
  12. because he was in the face of the student section and gave them the "shhhhhh" signal. NCAA refs are pretty strict about not taunting; that one is clearly going to draw a penalty.
  13. I'm honestly not sure what a fair return is for a shortstop who averaged a 5.5 WAR in his age 23-25 seasons and is still just 26. I was just suggesting that Lilly and Theriot is not fair value for that kind of player. it most certainly is not. maybe if lilly were 30 and had 3-4 years of team-friendly contract left, and theriot were better and younger than he is. but theriot is average at best and lilly has one more year left on his contract. fwiw, fangraphs ranked reyes as having the 20th-highest trade value back in july. i'm thinking that theriot and lilly were a long way from making that list. True, but there are likely other variables at work if they decide to trade him. You have to remember that there are reports that the Mets Fo isn't happy with him, the owner losing a ton of money and needing to shed payroll, and Reyes is coming off a calf/hamstring injury. Lilly would be a pretty valuable pitcher for them pitching half his games in that stadium. Theriot is a cheap replacement for them. If we offered to pay some of Lilly's salary and throw in Fox and Carpenter or Flaherty we might be able to get a deal done. the mets already have close to $50M coming off the books after this season. the mets would have only one season of ted lilly, and they're going to have a hard time contending next year with the phillies not losing much of anything. even if they do decide they want to move reyes, i highly doubt that there won't be other teams coming along with a better offer than a pretty good 33 year old pitche and a 30 year old middle infielder who's average at best, plus perhaps one or two mid-level prospects.
  14. bat [expletive] crazy
  15. apparently tennessee still sucks.
  16. Every coach does that even fatass Weis and you know it. LOLZ HE IS OVERWEIGHT SO AWESOME Sorry let me think of something clever and awesome like DickRod. =D>
  17. time to declare the entire big 12 to be a joke.
  18. i know houston is a pretty good team, but ok st is laying a complete egg.
  19. haha he barely even punted that for a first down.
  20. really? i don't care who wins (stadium collapse is preferred result) and i thought it was obvious... ball was out for more than long enough for the michigan guy to ease up.
  21. why do notre dame WR's always have dumb names like carlyle holiday and arnaz battle and golden tate?
  22. michigan's defense looks pretty porous.
  23. i mute the tv when it comes on.
