  1. I want to do it in one summer, but I know I'll be much too old to enjoy it thoroughly enough by the time I can afford such a trip.
  2. So it comes to this. Three games to determine the most wins of the year title between myself and Soccer... In case it got lost in the shuffle, I pick both road teams this weekend.
  3. What would be your definition of screwing it up, out of curiosity? You want CJ the most, right?
  4. The Bears' orange jerseys are among the very worst of all alternate jerseys currently in use in the NFL.
  5. Ball State breaks the skein and officially rids themselves of the title of worst team in the MAC by beating the new worst team in the MAC, Northern Illinois. Relatively easy 71-60 win. Our JC transfer center Micah Rollin, who never played HS basketball but is a 6'10, 280 pound behemoth, is developing pretty nicely.
  6. I'm rooting for the asteroid for now, but if the Bears win early Sunday, I want the Colts to win. A Bears/Colts Super Bowl might lead to all-out warfare here in Muncie. I wouldn't mind seeing one.
  7. BTW, Carolina fired their offensive coordinator Dan Henning, in a move I've been calling for for a while. Keyshawn Johnson claimed he'd only stay if Henning did. We'll just see.
  8. Does he know who the Raiders are? I'm guessing he thinks they're what he thought they were. Should he get hired I don't doubt that he has no plans to let them off the hook.
  9. PM Tim, he'll give you one.
  10. I spent way too much time on my "Are we the favorites or not" blog.
  11. OMC's sig just made me a bigger Saints bandwagoneer
  12. You think he's been given a free pass? From every article I've read about future HOFers, he's always been listed with McGuire and Palmiero as people who have the steroids scandal looming over them. In fact, I'm convinced that he'll receive the same level of media attention when his chance at the HOF comes up as McGuire did, and his testimony to Congress (or lack thereof) will receive the same spotlight. I think he's been given a 'comparatively' free pass. the controversy over him is NOTHING Like it's been for Bonds. It WILL if he's playing. And you're right- it will rain * on him when he's HoF eligible, too, regardless. Since McGwire retired first, though, he'll get the bulk of the heat and public debate...until Bonds. Sammy hasn't faced Bonds's style controversy because A) he hasn't had a book written about him that essentially proves he used steroids, B) he's not approaching Aaron's record, and C) he's not a prick (at least, not the type of prick that the media is obsessed with anyway).
  13. Well, I arrived at the Cubs and Bulls at separate times and for separate reasons. I moved to Indiana from South Carolina at age 10 and it was too hard to follow the Braves here so I latched on with my best friend's team which just happened to be the Cubs. This was around 2000. However, I'm also an admitted Bulls bandwagon jumper from the MJ years because I loved and still love the man (and there was no reason to cheer on the closest team to me - the Hornets - when I was little). I never had the heart to switch from the Panthers after I left South Carolina, but I'm glad I didn't. It's sort of fun being an outsider in this little Midwestern Bears/Colts universe.
  14. Are you from the future? Nov. 14th is a Wednesday, BTW. I'll be keeping an eye out. :wink:
  15. KU wins by three and Mizzou takes two bad shots on their last two possessions to ensure defeat. Tough loss.
  16. So Mizzou's up by five with under 9 minutes left...
  17. It just occurred to me how ridiculous it's going to be on here if the Bears do make the Super Bowl, and that led to me realizing it's going to be 20-30 times as crazy if the Cubs ever make the playoffs again...
  18. The Irish are now ranked 20th in both polls. And wow, Louisville isn't very good.
  19. I'm rooting against whoever wins this game in the Super Bowl. I can't stand either the Pats or Colts. That said, I'm picking New England.
  20. Whatever happened to Drew Stanton anyway? Going in to the year I heard a few people say he was the 2nd most pro-ready QB of this class behind only Quinn, and no one mentions him anymore.
  21. Bulls lead right now and Tyrus Thomas is flying all over the court - he has 3 blocked shots and arguably should've had 2 more that were called goaltending. BG is leading in scoring.
  22. BIG game against the Spurs today. No Big Ben again, so PJ is at center and Tyrus is playing the 4. ETA: Du missed practice yesterday, overslept, so he's out too. Bulls wearing the black, presumably to honor MLK.
  23. I don't think so.
  24. When did they trade for Arod?!?Heh, point taken. Best player in the NL, then.
  25. Aren't they ripping off the "Who Dey?" of last year's Bengals? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. The Bengals are the ones who ripped it off. "Who Dat?" comes from a song that came out in 1981 called "Who dat say dey gonna beat dem Saints?" The 1981 Saints went 4-12. I think everybody said they would beat the Saints. Wow, it's getting vicious in here already. :twisted:
