It would be really nice if BJ Young gave it some second thought now and chose Indiana instead but I doubt it. Pass.

I've been a little surprised at the lack of recognition New Mexico has gotten as a bubble team. I don't think they'll get in, they have warts, and I don't think they're great, but two wins over BYU and a win over Colorado (and they are ranked No. 43 in Pomeroy) puts them, in my opinion, rather on par with some other oft-mentioned bubble teams.

No, it wouldn't. Not at all. College basketball was fine before the one-and-done rule and would be fine without the "stars." The NBA is dependent on stars, college basketball isn't.

Hold up a second. Are you saying that Texas Tech, Baylor, Oklahoma, and Oklahoma State are all worse than Iowa and Indiana? Indiana is bad. They're the worst team in the Big Ten. That, however, does not mean they're the worst team in the Big 12. IU is No. 78 in Pomeroy, substantially better than both Texas Tech (107) and Oklahoma (134), and similar to Iowa State (77), Oklahoma State (75), and Baylor (72).

I know absolutely nothing about this case, but I don't see how you can claim he "avoided" statutory rape charges. He, in fact, did not commit statutory rape as the age of consent is over sixteen -- as it is in a majority of states. Hey guys, I "avoided" murder charges yesterday.* *Because I didn't murder anyone yesterday.

This isn't going very well.

NSBB NFL mock draft 2011 - Saints (IMB) on the clock
Exile on Waveland replied to dew1679666265's topic in Other Sports
Don't want to speak for CCP, but if he wants to continue picking for the Colts with me as understudy (as with the last few years), that would work for me. -
Does anyone know if Blue Ribbon is doing their tournament preview this year? They've done it the last couple years, but hadn't for quite a few years before that. There wasn't the option to purchase a package that included it preseason, and it doesn't seem to be mentioned on their website. So, I assume they're not doing it (which is stupid, but whatever).

Luis Suarez? YES PLEASE.

From 12-2-10. Just saying guys, I'm pretty smart North Carolina is actually better than Duke. Been saying that since the first time they played. (Though I do suspect Duke will win the ACC Tournament.)
-
It is really hard to fathom why any non-Mormon (athlete especially) attends BYU.
-
Baffling. The guy has all the time in the world at ISU and he's acting like he has to make a big run in 2012/2013 or it's curtains. Outside of White he's bringing in JAG's. The SIU kid sucks and Babb and Allen are average. Luscious kind of sucks and you're tying up 2 years of scholarship so he can give you 1 likely mediocre year. I don't get it. I vehemently disagree -- especially relative to Iowa freakin' State -- that Allen is average and Lucious kind of sucks. Vehemently.
-
That was so pretty.
-
Everyone realizes that Carolina is better than Duke now, right?
-
I'd rather give Belmont and Utah State at-larges. I'm with you, and Pomeroy loves Belmont . . . but Tennessee did beat Belmont twice this year (and has non-conference wins over Pitt and Villanova).
-
Oh, this guy is a ridiculous homer. However, K-State is playing some great ball and seems likely to out-perform their seed come tournament time.
-
Chris Campoli?
-
Robert Pires, seriously? I saw the score but didn't check the lineups. Yeesh.

Hank Steinbrenner: No "Socialism"
Exile on Waveland replied to Banedon's topic in General Baseball Talk
"Socialism" sure has killed the NFL. -
Huge. Really good performance too. Trying not to get too excited about a potential winning streak . . . but it seems possible.
-
IU is No. 70 in Pomeroy. I don't see how that is remotely underachieving.

Indiana isn't Kentucky. IU fans may be very -- very -- forgiving of boorish behavior from their coach, but I think the program/fans/school have proved that recruiting/winning is not the only concern (after an obviously gigantic misstep). Sampson wasn't fired until they were forced to. After the truth was coming out, the fake Assembly Hall was belting out Kel-Vin Samp-Son clap clap clap clap clap. I would have fired Sampson immediately and would agree IU waited too long (believe I argued something similar on here at some point). However, IU ruined what was, at the time, an oustanding season -- you can say they should have done so earlier, but very, very few programs (if any) would have fired a winning coach mid-season with that team. The decision to fire Sampson was supported by a large majority of fans. Further, the support the program has received over these three miserable years also attests to my thesis. I wish things would have gone differently and IU did not act perfectly, but they remedied the situation about as well as possible. That's not to say recruiting/winning is not important, or the most important thing, but it's pretty clearly not the only concern. And I promise you this IU administration -- thankfully, after the curse of so many utterly incompetent ones -- cares about more than winning as well.

He's [expletive] crazy. If they fire him next year, it's going to be like Christmas for Purdue fans. They'll lose those monster recruiting classes they have coming in and who the hell is going to take that coaching job? He isn't getting fired next year. He has a 10 year contract and his 2012 recruiting class will buy him more time if nothing else. Yeah, he's not getting fired. It's absurd to even discuss it. However, he really should keep his mouth shut about this -- or complain in a more dignified, less petulant manner.

You can't be too young to remember Jaacks, his senior year was Alford's first year. I always assumed you were in my age range (mid-late 20's). Same. I'm totally perplexed now.
