And if JLS had any ability to rebound from a tough loss at all and MSU had played even close to that well in future games, they'd have won at least three more games and been a strong bowl team. But then again, the devil's in the if's. The loss to Notre Dame didn't have that much to do with John L. Smith. That was almost all Stanton. Michigan State a 7 win team? They only looked pretty good against Eastern Michigan at home. That was about it. They then looked either terrible or bad during every single Big Ten game. Michigan State may have played Notre Dame well, but they were not a decent team by any stretch of the imagination. That's the point. They should have been. If you can play that well against ND, why the hell can't you get it up to play well against Illinois, Indiana, etc? That was my point. Shouldn't an entire Big Ten season of play carry more wieght than three quarters in a non-con game? Of course it should. I'm not saying it doesn't. The point is that Michigan State played well against ND, so to say they barely escaped a "crappy" Michigan State team, while technically true, shadows the fact that the Spartans played well enough to win that game.

That is why you don't go for it a couple of minutes ago.

Why did Nessler do the ACC title game? That guy should be the No. 1 play by play guy.

You can't go for it. You have to take the lead and trust your D that has done so well thus far. 10-9 Bruins.

The most absurd part of that isn't the fact that all those Duke games are on ESPN but that they're showing it during an ILLINOIS-ARIZONA GAME.

In hell, they play that USC song they play all the time on loop. True story.

USC just looks plain bad right now.

Do you guys get the ball to start the 2nd half? No. Damn.

I'm all for saying ND just isn't that good. Our opponents sure seem to want people to think that based on the crapfests that GT and USC are submitting. Maybe it's just true. ND barely beat a horrible Michigan State. They've been beated by the only good opponents. I just don't see anything to justify ND being all that good. Georgia Tech is the only decent team they've played, and GT is no great shakes. I'm not even going to dignify Michigan State. You and everyone else know the Spartans played better in the first 3 quarters of that game than most teams have played all year. It's not our fault JLS can't coach a team with a big lead, nor can he recover from a tough loss. GT I'll give you, that was a rough performance for ND, but everyone else was playing I-AA teams that week so it's hard to hate on them too much for it. Maybe Michigan State looked so well is because ND just isn't that good. Maybe, but I seriously doubt it. Moo did this in 2005 too, remember - play out of their heads against ND and crap out the rest of the season.

Somehow, someway, despite the Sycamores shooting 61 percent from the field (63 from 3) in the 2nd half compared to 41 (29 from 3) for BSU, the Cards pull out a 73-70 win over Indiana State in overtime. The officiating in this game rivals the worst reffing job I've ever seen in my life, but D'Andre Peyton's 3-ball with 12 seconds left gets the job done anyway. Next up is what should be top-15 ranked Butler at Hinkle on Wednesday, and I'm going.
-
I'll do you one better. If USC loses it would guarantee the rematch. It shouldn't but it would.

The logo is shiny and nice but the rest of those uniforms look amazingly like minor-league jerseys.
-
I believe the Bulls went into last night ranked 26th in the NBA in defensive FG percentage. That's a joke.

Cubs Pursuing Lilly
Andy replied to vance_the_cubs_fan's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
4/37 is the figure being thrown around. -
Because Jones is the new Walker. Nobody knows why he must go. But dammit to hell, he's got to GO!! Well, Jones is supposedly getting traded in this deal, so CF would be open. But why not just look for another CF and put Lugo at SS?
-
I'm totally on board with getting anyone who can post a sub-4 ERA in Coors Field. But why oh why oh why does Lugo have to play CF in all these projections?
-
Considering the Cubs' current team I would agree with you (since neither Cabrera nor Pujols would be better than Ramirez or Lee to the degree that it would cancel out losing Zambrano).
-
What set things up for 2004 to be a pressure-cooker was the Cubs trading for Derrek Lee to replace the Choi/Simon/Karros first-base group, signing LaTroy Hawkins to replace Crappy Setup Men A, B and C, signing Greg Maddux to replace Shawn Estes, replacing whoever the hell played third base in the first half of 2003 with a full year of Aramis numbers. Then in July it was all topped off by replacing our worst position player at the time with Nomar. That team had no business not winning 100 games.

White Sox re-sign Podsednik
Andy replied to Post Count Padder's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
I was personally rooting for the Sox to sign Juan Pierre, but I'll settle for them keeping their existing crappy leadoff hitter.
