I was going to as 100? I hate it when teams run up the score, but against Barnett, I could look the other way. EDIT: Not that Texas is running up the score. All they are doing is running and Colorado still can't stop them. They should not be caught off guard by the run. UT is classless. Against Mizzou, they went for it on 4th and goal near the end of the 3rd quarter up 4+ scores. That is terrible. I hate teams that do that. A few years ago when ND fake punted against Stanford when they were up 4+ scores I was outraged. That was when I lost all respect for Ty. At least they finally pulled Young. I do wish Texas would quit running out of bounds though. Lets get this game over with and start the real game.

Is Colorado really this bad of a team? I haven't seen them play this year, but this is a debacle.

This game is unbelievable. Why is Vince Young still in?

There is the same joke with ND and BC. Another goes: ND and BC students all have one thing in common, they all applied to ND. Go Bruins!!

They had the number 4 class last year, and the few years before that were top five as well. Aside from injuries, could it be more coaching than the recruiting? Edit: Just found this list 52 reasons why ESPN sucks. Didn't think it warranted a new thread, but some of it is pretty funny. There are some vulgarities in it, thought I would put a warning in case that offends some.

Weis had something like an eight-man rotation on the O-line this year, and I think that in addition to one starter, two backups will be back. I doubt the O-line will suffer that precipitous a drop. As for Stovall leaving, guess who isn't. Rhema McKnight, who's coming back for his extra year after losing this one due to a leg injury. Rhema may not have Stovall's pro tools but he's pretty darn close to as good as Maurice IMO. With Quinn/Walker/Samardzija/Rhema back next year, ND's offense would look to be loaded for 2006. You certainly aren't the first to say Quinn is a better pro prospect than Leinart, however. I've said for the last month or so that if you switch Leinart and Quinn, Leinart's Irish and Quinn's Trojans would probably still have the same record, but Quinn's USC team wouldn't have had near as many close calls as the real Trojans Sean Salsbury did a big interview about this with Cowherd awhile back. He said Quinn is the first quarterback since Young that you can look at and know he will be great in the NFL. He did not think that Leinart has all the tools to be great, but Quinn does. I forget exactly what he said Leinarts flaw was, but I think it was either throwing on the run, or mobility to scramble effectively. He said that in five years Quinn will be an NFL star. NDistops, you are right about the Oline. I think they only will be replacing two starters, based on the rotation that Weis used. Also Fassano is 5th year eligable, and they have Horde and Grimes who, IMO, are going to be very good. Really their offense is losing Shelton and Stovall (who will be replaced w/Mcknight, who is just as good), more than likely Fassano, RPN (who was suspended most the season for a DUI) and 2 Oline spots. Not to shabby, IMO. Oh yea, they also have a five star RB coming in by the name of James Aldridge who is the 5th ranked RB, and Jackson the 13th ranked WR. Plus Walker and Thomas will be back.

ESPN Insider did a article on what would happen if Texas, USC, or both lost this weekend.

That is why I respect Leinart so much. He chose to stay even though he could have left and instantly been rich, and in the process risked injuries or having a bad year (Although he does have a nice insurance policy, just in case he gets hurt.) Ihope next year I have the same respect for Quinn. However if he changes his mind and decides to go, I can't blame him one bit. I could not imagine having a decision like that to make. I have faith in Brady to stick to his guns and make the decision to stay at ND. He clearly wants to win a national title, and whether he admits it or not, probably also wants a Heisman, and I think he's willing to stay that last year to get it. I also think that, like Leinart, Quinn loves the college life too much to cut it a year short. I hope I'm not eating my words a couple of months from now, but I'm still about 90 percent sure that he's staying. His Mom already admitted it for him. :D

Brady has already made quite clear that he intends to come back next season. I really don't see a reason for him to leave. Why leave now in such a talented draft class, when you can wait and become an absolute lock to be a top-3 pick next season, not to mention a possible national champion and Heisman Trophy winner? He has said that, but did you read the article? I hope he isn't having second thoughts. I think Charlie may have addressed it today in his presser, but I haven't read it yet. I doubt he would leave, and he has said many times he won't, but money does talk...

The Brady Quinn to the NFL talk has begun. I really hope he stays. Also not sure if this was posted yet or not, but here is a ridiculous Reggie Bush HS highlight tape. Some of those runs are just...wow. The first one replays in slow motion, but after that they are all different, and equally amazing.

This is the message I get. It won't let me edit either. I'm just not gonna post until it is fixed, so I quit double/triple posting everything

Everytime I try to post I get a real wierd message, then it tells me I have to refresh. After I do that it tells me the thread is no longer available. After I leave NSBB and come back the thread is there (except the spring training, that one is still gone) and I have multiple posts on it. I guess this is one part apology for the multiple posts and one part a question to see if anyone else having the same the same problem, and if there is anything I can do to fix it. I assume it is just related to what is going on with the site, but I wanted to make sure.

I heard this on ESPN radio not too long ago.

I would love to vote Cubs, but it is not possible without a poll. :wink:

OK it is official, I will be in Mesa the week of the 13th. The Cubs play two games in Mesa, one in Tempe (Angels) and one in Scottsdale (S.F.). I will be visiting my ex-girlfriend (had a hard time explaining why I had to wait until March) so I will probably be only able to make one game, maybe two but I may be pushing my luck (unless she has to work ). Should I go to HoHoKam or would one of the other parks be better? Any other advice would be great. It will be my first time to AZ so I want to make the most of the opportunity. Thanks in advance.

Perhaps it is just me but I get real confused in the Transactions forum. Thread start out as rumors and then get real long and often times I have a hard time determining what is fact and what is speculation. Would it be possible to start a sticky of some sort that contains only the transactions that occur throughout the league, once they become official, without 30 pages of commentary on the topic. I don't mind the commentary at all, and find some of it to be quite entertaining, but I often lose track of what is really happening, and what is speculation.
