Bears Offseason Thread (Trestman new HC, pg 37)
mul21 replied to CaliforniaRaisin's topic in Other Sports
Really? He came from KC and that is a talentless waste hole of an organization. I mean, I think there's some good about his history, but "anything you can read"? Come on. The guy was a strength coach at second rate colleges for most of his career. He's had a relatively brief history in the NFL. There's plenty to question about him. Not the best measure in the world, but how can you say a team that just had 6 Pro Bowlers is a talentless waste hole of an organization? -
My Bucknell pick is looking more promising. Go Bison!
-
Yep, and it sounds like it was absolutely awful. Certainly prevented him from ever being a SS again: http://articles.chicagotribune.com/2011-11-17/sports/ct-spt-1118-haugh-cubs-chicago--20111118_1_dale-sveum-brewers-manager-tom-trebelhorn-prince-fielder

He was an obvious pick, not a good one. Teixeira was the pick they should have made that year. Hands down, no questions asked. If he was drafted as a 1B, I couldn't disagree with you more. If there was a thought he could stick at 3B or in the OF, I might agree with that. Top flight arms are so hard to find (and keep healthy) that when you have an opportunity like Prior, with his perfect mechanics and great stuff, I just don't think you can chance passing it up. You can build a solid offense without a super elite bat, but it's tough to win big without that TOR arm.

They were allowed into the most prestigious football conference in the country. I'm not sure what else my reaction should be. Not become a brain dead toothless idiot like much of the rest of the conference's fans?
-
So most of Missouri isn't supporting Mizzou? Only like 2 or 3 counties in MO are for SEC. That looks like it's probably old data being used from when Mizzou was in the Big 12. Either that or whoever put that together doesn't know they're in the SEC now.
-
Top 10 team when they feel like playing. Lot of size. Fortunately for other teams they haven't played with any urgency (outside of the IU game) in a month. Are they athletic? Up front they're very athletic, especially Mbakwe.
-
Whoever was giving me crap about SLU, Gottlieb just agreed with me. I think they're going to wreak havoc. They're more athletic than they seem, they have upper class men, and play great defense. Unfortunate they get Louisville if they get to the 16, the quickness of their guards may cause them problems.
-
That is a bear of a bottom half between MSU and Duke. Tough draw for Louisville as far as the Final Four goes. Shouldn't the #1 overall get the wort #2 and best #3? I'd be surprised if Duke got bumped all the way down to #8 overall on the S curve.
-
Duke knocked back to the 2 line. That should guarantee IU a 1.
-
I keep wondering if there's a logical reason they're so successful within the conference every year and yet so lousy outside of it. Because they're allowed to anally violate their opponents in conference play without repercussion and don't get away with it in non-con games.
-
I'd bet it has less to do with market than it does ability to adequately pass a physical.
-
Then I'm confused, because I don't see them in your current top 16, which is where I think they should be. I like St. Louis' resume, probably more than most here, but I don't agree. Who in that top 16 should be bumped for SLU? Not a big believer in K State or Syracuse at this point and Wisconsin has been playing like crap lately. Add in the fact that SLU was missing their senior PG for the first 11 or 12 games of the season and has now won 13 of 14 (I think) and you have a pretty legitimate case. Also, Butler isn't a top 50 team any more?

Sounds like the Dbacks have sent Peralta back according to Brett at BN.
-
Then people aren't paying attention. I haven't had time to do anything the last couple of days, but St. Louis will be getting robbed with anything lower than a 4 seed. I think this bracket is bound to miss badly on them. If they win the A-10 tourney, I would be slightly surprised if they don't get bumped to the 3 line.
-
I'd love to see the UI-IU game end like that tomorrow and watch Crean lose his mind getting ejected.
-
yeah, but minnesota had like 20 turnovers and illinois had 6. Unfortunately they were all in a 2 minute span toward the end of the first half when Abrams decided to play with his head up his ass. They should have been up 20 at the break instead of 9 and the game wouldn't have been anywhere near close. They still do way too many dumb things, but Groce has them on the right track at least.
-
I'm only listening on radio, but that's about as ugly of a win as I think can remember.
-
Moe should be Purdue. Boilermakers and whatnot. I guess making Milton Penn State would be a little unsavory though.

If what this story is saying is accurate, I really kind of wish the Bears had a 3rd rounder to use on him. Denard Robinson as a WR? -
590 KFNS is broadcasting it as well.
-
How the hell do you get a stress fracture in a rib? That doesn't seem possible. Also, damn it.
-
Seriously Torre? Bunting with Reyes on 1st, Phillips at the plate and nobody out with a 2-0 lead in the 5th inning? Stupidity at it's finest. And that was an interesting complete whiff and advance by Braun.

Bushrod and Bennett would be perfect. Definitely not perfect, but a step in the right direction. What's the deal on Sam Baker? Did he sign somewhere yet or just no interest?
