    They sure did move fast back in the day.

    Connect the dots or paint by numbers?

    Hopefully they are considering him regardless of what they do with Hill.

    I know you hate Notre Dame, but this is ridiculous. ND has at least two rivals - USC and Michigan. Maybe to ND and their fans, but not so much for the other team and their fans. That's the thing, my defineiton of a rivialry must include both teams (a) with a history, (b) a history that includes many important games, and © a history that includes some level of enmity. ND-Michigan is traditionally at the begining of the year, is out of conference, and aside from the John Carney kick hasn't included much in the way of drama. ND-USC is out of conference and the fate of the two teams is many times decided before the game begins. I don't think many USC teams have prepared their season to play ND. They are out of conference games.While USC/ND is out of conference, it's ludicrous to say their fates are decided before the game. I couldn't tell you the exact number, but USC and ND have played many a game in the rivalry where one team ruins the other's national title hopes and/or sends themselves on to one. 1964, 1973, 1977, 1988, and 2005 are five good examples of USC and ND ruining each other's title hopes, and in the last four cases, the winning team went on to play for a title of their own. One could say that about any team who plays a team who is going for a national title. If that is your definition, Illinois-OSU and Michigan State-OSU are big rivalrys. Live the dream!

    It's easier to spend money when it's your daddy's too! That's where George got his too, from his dad. In fact that is the main reason why most people are wealthy in the first place. Not rich, wealthy.

    After reading the thread I'd put Mizzou-Kansas under the least know nastiest rivalry. I cannot believe that people would wear those t-shirts. Although I have seen quite a few "Ann Arbor is a whore" t-shirts on the OSU campus. I've also seen Brutus the Bukeye recieving felatio from a Michigan cheer leader t-shirts too. Columbus can be a scary place sometimes.

    I believe what he's trying to say is that if he takes that word, and not only acknowledges it, but promotes it as his album cover, he is accepting it. And thus, that word no longer has any power because it no longer hurts him. At least, that's what I got from it That reminds me of Clerks 2 when Randal wanted to take back "[expletive]" and wrote it on the back of his shirt. Jay-Z is right. Words are completely arbitrary, their meaning is found in how people respond to the word. Nas cannot take back a word anymore than he can take back hate some people have of him. All he is doing is further dividing American culture that is already fractured too much.

They are out of conference games. Meanwhile, under the Golden Dome every coach and every team is measured by Knute and Ara and their teams. ND has done a lot to create their singularity in college football. It is the singularity that keeps them from having a true rival. In a real sense they are their own rival, "Wake Up the Echos" and whatnot.

    I think that was Auggie Doggie. His bizarre hatred seemed to be a mitigating factor in his later banning as well.

    Army-Navy and it isn't particularly close. The game is just part of the deal. I know neither team is a powerhouse but, it really is the best. I encourage everyone to go to a game if they get a chance. Alabama Auburn is probably the nastiest rivalry, followed closely by Texas-Oklahoma. The funny thing about the OSU-Michigan rivialry is that the U of M don't really make a big deal about the game unless it is for the conference championship. OSU defines themself by the game. That is one of the things that infuriates the knuckleheads in Columbus. USC-Notre Dame is not really a rivalry although they play each other every year. ND's only rivial is the ghost of Knute Rockney and Ara Parsegian. I'd say USC-UCLA is a bigger rival than USC-ND.

    You would be wrong. Bedard has taken the mantle of best lefty in baseball not named Johan Santana title. MacPhail and company might not be the sharpest tools in the shed. But Kershaw with all his value doesn't equal bedard in a 1 for 1. I don't think MacPhail and Co. think so or he wouldn't be mentioned in trade proposals. I don't know what they are thinking, but I'm glad Andy is no longer the President of the Cubs. I wish he'd a taken his boy Jim with him.

    ha! I remember that guy BREAKING NEWS: I went #2

    Your theory may be sound, but nobody (by that I mean ARod) is sensless enough to walk away from that amount of money. This entire thing reminds me of the Rangers preseason press conference with ARod where he was named captian and then was traded. I think ARod and Boras aren't on the same page.

    Tripple B, the Cubs didn't get to be this bad by accident or chance. "I think we can compete within the division."

    It's also been reported in the Daily Herald.

    That shirt is amazing. Reminds me of the student near our section that dressed up like Quantrill for the Kansas game last year. Haha! I love this Kansas T-shirt

    I'm not, but Hendry seems to be. I think Lou is an old school guy and wants power from the corners. I don't think they think Murton will hit for enough power. I don't know enough about Fukudome to say one way or the other. I think many people who post here want him because they like his name, it is like a running joke. I'm glad there's not a Dick Steele who's a free ageent.

    Every day is something new. Jones for Infante Veal to the bullpen Cedeno to the outfield it is readily appearent that Hendry incapable of thinking strategically. He has no plan and is making things up as he goes along. Meph is right, one has to really try to be this bad.
  20. CubinNY
    Cubs swap Jones for Infante, pay Jones Salary - $1M, board jeers So, we trade Jones for Infante an 1 million salary relief...ok, that's dumb. I messed up. The Tigers pay all except 1 million, board mostly jeers.

    Wha, What?

    Tools baby, tools.
  24. CubinNY
    He'd have to be a throw-in as he doesn't really have much trade value, except to Hendry. He's basicaly a part time utility player. The only saving grace is that he is relatively young.
  25. CubinNY
    That's what she said.
