    MAYBE Derek Jeter? :-k he's only allowed to be half-gritty.
  2. TruffleShuffle
    i think he's similar to theriot. won't make a lot of errors but their range is fairly limited. i think they're both slightly worse than average.

    whatwhatwhat? yeah i realized that the way i wrote it the first time didn't make sense so i tried to do it over, and left some of the earlier (bad) sentence. :oops: sorry, that was my cubbiebum/rchap moment of the day.
  4. TruffleShuffle
    yes but winning three championship three championships in four years doesn't make it a three-peat. at least i don't think it does, i'll have to run it by pat riley though.

    that seems like a really good deal for the a's. his body should hold up well as long as he rarely has to take the field.

    not really. more bets were placed on texas tech than ole miss, but the line went from like texas tech -7 to -4, meaning that your average fan was betting small money on texas tech, but the big-money professionals were all over ole miss. i actually have a friend who bets a lot based on where the "smart money" is going. in this case you're right though, 2/3 of the bets are going on florida and the line has moved 2 to 3 points in their direction.

    how dare espn sully pacman's good name.

    it's really not a big deal. average temps in early april are around 50 for a high and 30 for a low, and by the end of the month the average high is up to 65. by that point of the year there's not much difference between the climate there and the climate in chicago, detroit or cleveland. they'll probably get a couple of "cold outs" or "snow outs" in a year, but i would guess that from beginning to end of the season, you'll get more rain outs in an open air stadium in, say, miami, boston or new york than you will in minneapolis. How's their late October? goes from 66/45 on the 1st of the month to 50/32 on the 31st. chicago starts at 69/48 and ends at 55/37. about 5 degrees difference. minneapolis does have an average low of 3 in mid-january whereas chicago's average low is in the lower to middle teens, but neither good for baseball in mid-january, and nobody is playing then. really, cold climate is only a huge problem in minneapolis during the months that baseball isn't being played. new york and boston average close to 20 inches more liquid precipitation than minneapolis over the course of a year, that's why i say that the northeast teams are more likely to lose more games to weather than the twins.

    not even close. lowe is much better than garland.

    Say you woke up one day and were given two choices. You will either die tomorrow, or will have to spend every minute for the rest of your existence in north dakota. Which do you choose?

    That's just nuts and it was Harvard's first win ever against a ranked team First big game Tommy Amaker has ever won come on, he had plenty of big wins in the NIT

    (a) they lost that game and (b) penn state, UIC, alabama and virginia all beat georgia tech. they're not very good. plus georgia has lost to loyola-chicago and texas a&m-corpus christi. georgia sucks.

    as long as someone keeps doing spikes' homework for him and taking his tests, he should do it. tebow should do it so that he can be great for another year before his football career heads down the crapper.

    Hampton is a Houston Astro. and sucks i'm not sure how you can determine a guy sucks from his pitching 12 games in 3 years. i guess it sucks to get hurt all the time though.
  18. TruffleShuffle
    michigan relies way too heavily on the three. almost half their FG attempts are outside the arc, and tonight about 2/3 of their shots (19 of 29) were 3 point attempts. if they have a night where their shooters aren't hitting, they'll lose bad, even if they're playing a bad team like indiana.
  19. TruffleShuffle
    yup

    You're right. Being the best running back in the country is meaningless. Remember, like you said no national champion in the last 10 years has had a 1,000 yard rusher. Wait, how many times did you backtrack on that? It's much more impressive to throw slip screens 1-yard in front of the line of scrimmage (or 8 yard ducks to guys who are fass) all year than it is to be the guy to stop on an offense and still get over 6 yards per carry and 100 yards every week. Dude were not saying based on his numbers he had an amazing year...heisman is not decided by just players numbers it's based on the [expletive] media, There team being one of the top ranked teams, Then the numbers You can't write like this and call ANYONE [expletive] agreed. i don't know what the hell that "sentence" is trying to say.

    brandon spikes is still dumber than anyone in this thread or on oklahoma.
  22. TruffleShuffle
    how many times do they say this? why not just affiliate with warm-weather places if you're going to complain about the cold every year And then complain about rain outs in August in Florida. dear cubs oklahoma is usually pretty rain free and stuff and it also is warm in march-october just a suggestion cut to ballpark being lifted out of the ground by an F5 tornado

    meph badly needs a hobby. and possibly a restraining order.
  24. TruffleShuffle
    haha yeah right. usually i do really well during the regular season and then crash and burn in the bowls. this is the first year in like the last 5 that most of the bowls went the way i thought they would. i think the bowls are usually pretty unpredictable because teams are off for a month and momentum (coming into the game) means just about nothing. but Meph has a system! A SYSTEM! with my 5 points from tulsa's win, i've beaten meph's system. amusingly, i got the game right and plummeted 275 places. i think even if OU wins, i'll drop out of the top 1000 nationally.

    i like how gene keady will start openly rooting for purdue, then catches himself and starts being neutral again. i can't say i blame him, he was there for 25 years.
