No way. A wheel rolls down a hill...or a rounded baseball bat slung down to the ground stands up on its end?

It's sort of what you get when you fire a perfectly good coach and hire a psycho wife beater who had never been above a defensive line coach in his career. The good news is Art Kehoe becomes available to hopefully take the Notre Dame o-line job. Yep. Our AD and Chancellor are complete idiots and have never done anything right. One of their greatest crimes was letting a coach who was 44-29 overall and 25-23 in the SEC. Is this sarcasm? If it is, those numbers are better than anyone ever at Ole Miss besides Vaught so what exactly do you want? haha, I left out the word "go"....it should have read "one of their greatest crimes was letting a coach GO who was..."

Neat spreadsheet I found. http://files-upload.com/files/639254/Revisedstats-2.xls Some things that I found interesting: - Ted Williams never led the league in hits and was only second in hits twice...although I think it had something to do with the fact that he led the league in BB 8 times! :-) - Mickey Mantle only led the league in RBI once, never placed second in RBI, and only finished third one time. - Hank Aaron led the league in total bases 8 times, and finished in the top 4 in total bases 14 times! - Rogers Hornsby led the league in SLG 9 times, finishing second all time to Ruth who led the league in SLG 13 times. - Stan Musial (most underrated superstar ever, IMO) led the league in BA 7 times, hits 6 times, doubles 8 times, and triples 5 times. - Joe Jackson threw a baseball 396 feet on Sept 27, 1917 at Fenway Park during a contest, defeating Ty Cobb, Tris Speaker, and Babe Ruth. (Be interesting to have a long toss contest nowadays, I'd think, but it's obvious why they wouldn't). - From 2001-2004, Barry Bonds' OPS+ was 244!

Tebow is an amazing player, but Florida would probably still be a contender if they had whoever else at QB. The only reason Arkansas wins a game is because McFadden.

Ole Miss has fired idiot head coach Ed Orgeron. Thank Christ, what a disaster he was. Under his disastrous 3 years, the Rebs went 3-21 in SEC play and overall were 10-26. As head coach, he only beat ONE team that ended up with a winning record that season! If anyone never saw the "Coach O/Colonel Reb is crying" video that's been referenced on ESPN several times, you should: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nACZJ5x_wBY and if anyone has never heard this cajun knuckle-dragger speak...behold his horrific "Buy a Hummer" commercial:

Well hell, it's funny you say that because I think Ernie beat up Tyrus. I get home today and open my suitcase and Ty's bobble head had come off!

HAHAHAHAHAHA, God I hate Tigers fans so much (LSU that is).

Wow, this is an instant classic. Once again, I will reiterate what I've said for YEARS....LSU is the luckiest football team in the history of the world.

Ole Piss might actually win a conference game this year! Kiss your pathetic bowl hopes goodbye, bulldogs! Come join us in the toilet bowl of the SEC!!

I'd be shocked if David Eckstein did roids. I'd say just Will Clark didn't do them but he did cheat by looking at Greg's mouth. Will the Thrill was badass, it's too bad he didnt play longer. I think only Junior Griffey has a prettier swing.

You have really high standards for the term violently racist. I, for one, am comfortable saying a man who tried to choke a black man to death for being too familiar with him is violently racist. I'm comfortable saying the guy was just violent in general. We're talking about a guy here who beat up his roommate on a roadtrip when after a game the roommate got to the bathtub before he did. On a related note, I was at a sports store in Denver yesterday and bought an Ernie Banks and Ty Cobb bobblehead. *Cut to inside OMC's suitcase in the plane on the way home. The Ty Cobb Bobblehead beats the crap out of the Ernie Banks Bobblehead for being too agreeable. LOL, thats pretty funny. ....Cobb was actually a fan of Banks'. At the time of his death, his favorite players were mantle, campy, and mays.

Guess I didn't pay attention to it at the time.

I was just looking at some of their rosters recently from the late 90's and early 00's, and they had quite a few stars playing together who have been "suspected" of juicing: Pudge, Juan Gone, Raffy, Matthews Jr., Kenny Rogers....and some even suspect A-Rod (which I don't). Is this old news?

Very overrated and now very overpaid.

Matthews to left, Anderson to DH.

Will ya'll leave him alone, jeez.

You would know. i meant that it seems to be OMC vs. Every Member of NSBB Plus the GoogleBot on this one I think the YahooBot agrees with me....get it? Hardy har.

IBL

You would know.

I'm going to disagree with that term only because that implies that his racist views led him toward acts of violence or that his brand of racism was a particularly violent one. Like I said before, the incidents in those cases were caused by racist attitudes to start off with, but his decision to physically attack them was not as a result of his racism, they were a result of his uncontrollable violent temper in certain situations. James Earl Ray or Klan members that lynched blacks or killed civil rights workers were violently racist. Those were actions that weren't committed in a spur of the moment rage. The only time I can recall a story of him planning on hurting someone was after the death of his good friend Ray Chapman at the hands of a Carl Mays fastball. Mays was known as the premier headhunter of his day and didn't show much remorse at the death of Chapman. The first game that the Tigers played the Yankees after Chapman's death, Cobb wrote a note before the game and handed it to the batboy to go give to Mays in the Yankee clubhouse. The note read "If it was within my power, I would have inscribed on Chapman's tombstone these words: Here lies the victim of arrogance, viciousness and greed." In a 1942 interview, Mays described what happened next: Mays' scar in 1942: http://baseball-fever.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=27876&d=1187807322

As if Citizen's Bank is Griffith Stadium or something? That place is more of a bandbox than Coors these days. Coors was 10th in baseball in home runs this year.

Not normally. Definitely not as unanimous a top 5 selection as Cobb usually is. Well, Wallace's racism effected hundreds of thousands of blacks. Cobb's racism just effected those he personally encountered.
