  1. The entire state of Michigan should be proud after that display yesterday. I picked all of the games right, but that was embarrassing. So far Illinois is the only Big Ten team I got wrong. I had them 2-6 with Iowa and tOSU as the only winners.
  2. Crying guy gets away with the throat slash on more than 1 occasion, yet K-State gets 15 yards for a salute? They say there's an entire page in the rule book covering unsportsmanlike behavior. Maybe they should add another.
  3. I'm kinda good at some stuff. What's your girlfriend look like?
  4. Sure, if you're keeping payroll roughly constant then 2-3 wins is probably the right ballpark, and probably a little high actually. Just as a simple exercise: Add Pujols ($25M) Subtract Aramis Ramirez ($14M) Add a replacement 3B for $1M Subtract Ryan Dempster ($13M) Add a replacement SP for $1M What's the impact of those moves taken together? The money's even -- $27M out and $27M in. You think the Cubs would improve by a lot more than 2-3 wins in this scenario? I don't. Do you really think, in that highly unlikely situation, the Cubs would replace Dempster and Ramirez with $1M replacements, though? The whole point of the exercise is to keep the money even. Ah, I thought the point was to prolong a boring argument.
  5. I'm trying to figure out how to type out NCAA and include dollar signs. n¢aa eh, makes them seem cheap

  7. I guess if you want to go strictly by the definition of the rule, it was an intentional foul, but I was shocked they called it. I was even more shocked that 2 of the refs called it. It was really no different than most of the fouls committed by losing teams in the last minute of a game.
  8. Remember, he has the endorsement deal with them and does their commercials. It doesn't mean he has to eat there. I hope he was lying to get paid. That I can respect.
  9. Hmm, miss almost half of the season or lie to my coach so I can play the bowl game, get more stuff, then leave and get paid... What to do?
  10. I was a little disappointed to hear Gus went to BWW the night before the game. Who goes on the road and eats at places like that? You're better than that, Gus.
  11. Why not? It's not like he's returned every punt he's ever fielded.
  12. Speaking of clowns, it was nice to see Ed Hightower last night.
  13. It sure as [expletive] ain't free throw shooting.
  14. Did I actually hear Lou Holtz say that Syracuse always plays well at Yankee Stadium?
  15. Sounds like SRO for the game tonight. It'll be weird watching a basketball game at CHA and have it packed.
  16. Yeah, I don't see how he falls out of the 1st round. I haven't seen the guy play much but his numbers aren't all that impressive. Low 60's completion percentage, sub 7 YPA, 16 TD/9 INT. 1 TD/2 INT in the bowl game. I'd have to think there's some red flags that could easily bump him down to the 2nd round. Teams hesitate to take 4 QB's in the first and he's not in the top three, right? Almost everything I've seen has him #2.
  17. I admittedly do not watch the vast majority of MNF games, and I'm usually out when I do. Sitting at home watching NO/Atl was one of the most painful experiences I have ever had watching a sporting event. I'm not sure you can top that booth. The Thursday night booth is the worst in sports history, followed closely by every other booth that featured Joe Theisman. The Thursday crew is terrible, but I actually prefer them to Jaws and Gruden.

  20. They absolutely got the call right. http://hawkcentral.com/wp-content/gallery/insight-bowl-game-action/gpndc5-5xp2e75azkpicqys462_original_0.jpg
  21. what a show by Gabbert and Coker
  22. Gabbert might throw for 700 yards.
  23. He was such a dolt at times. I've already watched more games this year than the previous 3 seasons combined despite being so shitty.
  24. They used an Iowa ID to buy a huge block of tickets and showed up in orange.
