    Beat Bama. Is that game in Knoxville? Yes, and not likely. Alabama plays better on the road right now....Tennessee couldn't beat Auburn, so I doubt they'll beat Alabama. But this is the SEC so who knows... I don't think Alabama is that great. Texas, PSU, USC, OU, and UF would blast them I think.

    Well, time to watch the Bulls game.

    Ron Zook: Still an awful coach.

    Mizzou is completely outclassed up front.
  6. SpongeWorthy
    There you go. POUND McCoy.
  7. SpongeWorthy
    The thought of "Mack Brown: Multiple national championship winner" is scary.
  8. SpongeWorthy
    Mizzou is going to get something figured out with their defense. Those offensive line splits are absurd too.

    Or Jim Miller, Steve Walsh, Erik Kramer, Shane Matthews, et. al. I'm definitely waiting for the other shoe to drop.

    Just saw this flash across.: http://www.suntimes.com/sports/football/bears/1218485,metcalfe101308.article Anyone think this is a big deal?

    Those that root for teams in different cities aren't real people anyway :D

    Can I still whine about the Falcons game in this thread? I dind't hate the squib call but in that situation I would definitely prefer a high pooch kick to about the 25-30 yard line. Terrible breakdown in coverage. It was terrible schematically and terrible in execution. Is Babich a fiery type guy? We know Lovie isn't but sometimes you need someone to get on the players for lack of focus, effort, and concentration. They mentally checked out thinking they had the game one. THat's unacceptable. The good news is that Orton is actually looking like a player. The TD toss on the go-possesion was a thing of beauty. He had about a 1 foot window to throw that ball in and he was spot on. That was really good stuff.

    Manny's a corker! God. That was amazing. Almost as impressive as the homer he hit in Game 1 of the NLDS.

    Admittedly I don't see as many Bulls game as you Chicago guys but I never thought Gordon's lack of easy baskets/FT opportunities was because he's hesitant to drive. From what I've seen, he's effective at getting into the lane but not at finishing around the basket. He gets rejected or his shot altered too much. It's frustrating because he's a good athlete and can break a man down off the dribble--he's just lacks the vision/creativity of a Paul or Nash or the finishing ability of a TOny Parker. When he penetrates the offense bogs down too much.

    The short term success of this team is going to depend on Hinrich. He was awful last year and we consequently had an awful season. Deng is still only 22 years old. Last year was a bit of an off year for him but he'll rebound. He can be an extremely efficient ballplayer when he's not the focal point. Longer term is going to depend on TT and Noah. Rose WILL be a superstar. Beasley might be but he screams Shareef Abdur Rahim/Zacn Randolph type to me--big numbers but not a true difference maker.

    Ryan's propensity to throw picks in college was mainly a function of having little skill talent around him and not much of a running game. If he's going to throw picks now it's because he's a rookie in the NFL. I couldn't believe some people were so down on him and saying that Flacco, Henne, Woodson, types were better. I think he ends up being a top 3 or so QB in the NFL and definitely the best one drafted in the last 5 years or so. He's that good.
  17. SpongeWorthy
    Dare I say he's actually showing a nice burst.

    Benson is getting a little work in the Bengals/Cowboys game if anyone is interested. I don't know why you would be.

    How competitive the Cubs were before ultimately falling would've determined how sad I felt. The fact that they rolled over like gutless dogs means I'm pissed and sickened. Thanks for the worst spectating experience of my life and the 3 hour drive home in the rain Cubs!

    I wish there were a line graph like one of those game charts that shows the spike in the number of domestic violence disputes and DUIs in the greater Chicago area tonight.

    The best part of not having any booze in the house at the moment is that I haven't thrown my remote through my television screen.

    I don't even feel like going to Chavez Ravine on Saturday. If USC hadn't lost to Oregon State I would definitely sell my tickets and watch USC/Oregon instead :/
  23. SpongeWorthy
    I feel like drinking and getting in a bar fight.

    Does anyone else want to entertain the possibility that the Dodgers pitchers have come in with little pressure on their shoulders and happened to locate their pitches brilliantly while Dempster and to a lesser extent Shark felt the heat and overthrew? Or is that taboo since Nate Silver hasn't quantified it yet?
  25. SpongeWorthy
    Dodgers pitchers located and we didn't. Nothing much more to say about this game.
