  1. why do i keep forgetting how dumb this thread is and clicking it
  2. wasn't LSU a brief stop on the Gunner Kiel* Tour? *another victim of a targeting penalty/non-penalty/maybe-penalty/who-really-knows
  3. untrue parenthetical
  4. probably meant we have a 2 year window to threaten most wins in a season record then we'll maybe regress to plain ol' mid-90 win seasons
  5. we've maybe reached peak recruiting
  6. amongst all qualified hitters last season, Heyward was - 74th percentile for OBP - 74th percentile for strikeout rate - 95th percentile for stolen base value (wSB) - 85th percentile for taking pitches out of the zone - 71st percentile for walk rate - 86th percentile for Speed Score - 96th percentile for baserunning value - 74th percentile for contact rate so, i mean, if he's not a good leadoff hitter, who is?
  7. i wasn't going to bother the first time you said it, but since this makes twice... who is to say any of that would've played out the same had he kicked, especially since not kicking resulted in them getting the ball where they did? it probably wouldn't have. going for the TD was fine. coaches choosing TDs over FGs should always be celebrated regardless of the situation
  8. give Cam the MVP
  9. funny to think that Sebastian Janikowski was drafted the same year as Ron Dayne
  10. Michael Crabtree getting process'd now to reverse 3rd & 9 conversion, taking like seven steps before bracing his fall with the football hand and putting it on the ground cool rule, NFL
  11. at least PSU is semi-equipped to test MSU's terrible secondary in a way that OSU couldn't with their 50 QB draws today
  12. Heyward's led off the game 126 times in his career, with a .866 OPS i'd be ok with that
  13. eh, we barely escaped with wins vs. Minnesota, & Jordan Howard, so hard to be too bothered anymore by Blake O'Neill's greasy mitts in light of those breaks
  14. James Franklin has spent the whole game giving back all these gains with his hatred of touchdowns
  15. http://i.imgur.com/nva28et.gif
  16. i'm learning lots of new things though, for instance, the ribs are located below the waist
  17. the targeting penalty is like jazz; the refs kinda just make it up as they go along
  18. Glad I'm not the only one who thought it was me-me. I remember my wife laughing when I first used the word around her and correcting me. You guys should read a book once in a while. Start with "the selfish gene" by Richard Dawkins. Meme / gene. Pronounced the same. geh-nae? /bryce'd
  19. a couple hundred fouls called already in this Michigan-Xavier game...
  20. Gardner's one of the most selective hitters in the game, while Castro expands the zone with alarming frequency which is the main reason i could see us being interested in this but i really do hate watching Gardner play baseball
  21. He was nowhere near the worst pitcher in baseball last year. He had a 2.7 fWAR (39th in MLB), pitcher WAR... http://static.comicvine.com/uploads/original/11111/111118857/4617709-shudder+gif.gif
  22. easy there, you don't even know what race i am
  23. probably the happiest year of his life though, because they tried OH HOW THEY TRIED
  24. This sentiment is so ridiculous. Samardzija was pissed that his team didn't try YEAH [expletive] THAT GUY!!! nobody was forcing him to say stupid things to make himself look like a meathead dimwit, and it's perfectly fine for some to be residually annoyed at the guy for those times he sounded like a meathead dimwit i'm not sure it's all that different than the universal Theriot hate on here
  25. This sentiment is so ridiculous. Samardzija was pissed that his team didn't try basically just lazied their way toward a 97 win season
