I hope Texas beats Mizzou, but I think OU is the only team in the Big 12 with the chops to do that this year.

Re: Time to give Theriot less playing time?

well, i had to miss the game, but that's a bummer. What really pisses me off is that the experts will use this as proof that KU is a sham, as if losing to a ranked team on the road is something to be embarrassed about. Would have loved that game, though. Now we really have to man up in the Big XII.

jeebus not another mizzou fan. things are pretty grim when you're excited to see a sooner fan posting.

to be fair to Kansas, they were actually losing some of those games for a while and were just trying to play people they had a chance against. 1996-2006 was a pretty lean time for KU football, with a couple of exceptions. I have no problem with this seasons OOC schedule. USF on the road. And La Tech is the kind of mid-level WAC team that can jump up and bite you now and then. FIU is a joke. Same with Sam Houston St.

i'm a little shaky about this week too (I always am on long road trips). I think we win, and we're clearly the better team, but I worry about what someone like Locker will do to our defense. We have a habit of letting guys like him just take over a game. I think you guys should roll UDub. But they're dangerous enough that's I'd be worried, too, despite their 0-2 record. I really though our running game would be a strength this year, but so far it's been pretty non-existent. And I don't know how our redshirt freshmen tackle is going to block Selvie. If Reesing gets time, I have faith he'll produce. And our Defense hasn't allowed a TD yet. But that Florida humidity is going to be a twelfth man that, i fear, will really make a difference. Hopefully we can force Groethe into some dumb mistakes.

Nervous about KU @ South Florida. 1st road game, young offensive line, short week....
-
A little discouraged by KU's offense, particularly the running game. I'm hoping it's just a young offense line still learning to gel. And despite USF's struggles, I'm pretty worried about that game next week.

Beer. Seriously, I always kind of laugh when people bag on the city of St. Louis. Yes, the downtown area sucks. It's unsafe, dirty, and doesn't offer much of anything to do. The only time I go downtown is when the Cubs are in town or for work. But get outside the downtown area and there's plenty of stuff to do. Next time you're here go to the Central West End or the Clayton area. Go ahead and kid yourself if you must, but StL is a dump, despite its occasional nice little neighborhoods. Clayton sucks, though it has nice places here and there. the CWE is cool; it's also surprisingly dangerous for an "upscale" neighborhood. (I worked in a restaurant there for three years.)

I glanced around and didn't see this being discussed. Kid left a lot of $ and a ML contract on the table. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/08/16/AR2008081600230.html

haha, so it's not just my computer -
Damn it. I really want tOSU to lose that game. They do not need to be in another championship game.

anyone w/ vid of the curtain call?

bill self signed a 10 year, 30 million dollar contract.

That ball came to eat. that used to crack me up.

There's almost no question FSU w/ Weinke would have curb-stomped Tennessee that year. Haha, Weinke was such a putz. I'll never forget him pissing himself when Torrance Marshall was barking at him before the Orange Bowl. He looked like he wanted to cry. Sometimes when I need a good laugh, I go back and watch that video. That notwithstanding, I thought that FSU team was way better than T martin and Co....except for when that rooster dude was playing. He was aawful.

Well that should be the very reason why you should learn sabermetics, not shun them. With sabermetrics you learn about sample size that explains that series. 'Shun' isn't even close to describing how I view sabr. I like the stats, but they are not absolute and only explain results, not necessarily predict. What do you use to predict player/team performance? Well, I'm not betting on baseball, so I tend not to predict results. I don't see much value in personally spending copious amounts of time studying the deeper statistics, in order to predict an outcome of a baseball game. I have no use for that. I just listen/watch the game and hope my Cubs win. Stats are useful for fantasy baseball though. I think a manager should use stats to make lineups of course, and not go with gut feelings. However, something that bothers me is when stats betray us (like last years playoff series vs the D-backs), it's simply written off as 'fluke' or 'small sample size', which has just as much justification as a good excuse as gut feelings or hunches. How did "stats" betray us? "Stats" must be a nickname for Augie Ojeda.

According to the game thread on LEPG, he threw 19 pitches tonight, only three of which were sliders. http://www.fangraphs.com/statss.aspx?playerid=237&position=P He's thrown the slider more than twice as often this year as he did last year. Whether or nor that's true, it seems like it's his fastball that's getting hammered. That could just be a matter of perception for me though. I don't get to watch as many games as I would like.
