Congrats Greg. If I'd known in advance what we'd get for you, I'd have wanted you to win it exclusively as a Cub.

Record of Cincy's wins: 15-27 Their only win over a team that isn't at least 2 games under .500 is conference opponent South Florida(who has yet to beat anybody above .500, 4-4 McNeese St. being the closest), who lost to one of the worst teams in the Big 12, Kansas. But they beat S Florida easily so what's your point? That neither are any good. The same way you can say "If Cincy had played bad teams they'd be 7-2", you can probably more easily say "Cincy can't beat anybody that's any good". That statement extends to USF, whose wins have a combined record of 10-30, with only Southland Conference power McNeese State being at .500 among those teams. And it's not like their losses are fantastic, losing to Cincy and to Big 12 bottom dweller(no offense Snood) Kansas. Kansas lost to Toledo this year, and Toledo is 1-4 in the MAC. 1-4 IN THE MID-AMERICAN CONFERENCE. I don't think Snood would be able to take offense even if he wanted to.

Likely 4 at-large teams: - Notre Dame, unless they play really badly against USC and fall out of the BCS top 12 - will be 11-1 or 10-2 - Whoever loses the Michigan/Ohio State game - will be 11-1 - whoever loses the SEC title game unless it's Arkansas (would be a shame because the Razorbacks are as good as most any 1-loss team right now) - Boise State West Virginia could replace Notre Dame if ND looks bad against USC. Or they'd be the first in line to replace Boise State. Arkansas would likely fall short of the BCS requirements if they lost the SEC title game, which could open the door for Auburn or Tennessee even though neither team is likely to make it to the SEC title game.

I think 99.9999 percent of people outside of Ohio would be rooting for Rutgers if they somehow got to the national title game. That would be outstanding.

I need to ask, why is your avatar an old Pepsi commercial? :wink:

Padres Have Interview with Baker Scheduled
Andy replied to vance_the_cubs_fan's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Had me until that part. -
I'm registered, hopefully the voting area for Muncie is reachable by bus.
-
ND 79, Rockhurst 44. The starting five as I expected was McAlarney, Carter, Falls, Kurz and Zeller. The surprise was true freshman Luke Harangody, who piled up a game-high 17 points and 4 boards in just 21 minutes. 10/8 out of Carter and 11/10 from Kurz looked promising. This is a likable team and hopefully they can give me a fun season.

Eddy Curry could never be as good as Dwight Howard. Howard is more talented than just about any player in the NBA. Bulls looked flat tonight, but 1-1 against two of the better teams in the East on the road is acceptable.
-
TBA and GamePlans updated. Also, Oklahoma/A&M is now at 8 pm. Anyone else think this multiple Saturday Night games thing is getting a tad out of hand with three this week?

cubs to target heilman
Andy replied to abuck1220's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
But he is a solid gamble for a team looking for starting pitching depth. Given his usage out of both the bullpen and his desire (and upside) to start, Heilman is a far better swing-man than Rusch, and a better option to start than pulling up random guys from the minors. If it doesn't cost much in talent, then pursue him. That's fine... I just don't want people to get carried away by thinking that every pitcher coming off surgery will suddenly turn into Chris Carpenter. Heilman isn't Carpenter, Rothschild isn't Duncan, and the Cubs aren't the Cardinals. In fact, it's more likely that Heilman's arm will completely fall off than it is that he'll turn into Carpenter. Unless he ends up with the Cardinals. :wink: -
ND plays Rockhurst tonight in an exhibition at the Joyce. But I'm still on a "Chris Quinn got numerous meaningful minutes in the game last night" high. :D

cubs to target heilman
Andy replied to abuck1220's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
I'm surprised we are going to go after a gutless choking dog like Heilman. /sarcasm -
Looked at the Heat's schedules from all the way back to 1997-98 (as far as the site would let me). No losses of 42 or more. :D
-
Chemo. 57-29 Bulls. This is absolutely ridiculous. Even the Crapper himself is playing fantastic. Nothing spells satisfaction like a silent American Airlines Arena. :D
-
Holy freaking crap Tyrus is athletic.
-
OLD NEWS (per this thread) ;) And that figure is 5.5M short of the actual total.
-
Wow, if Kirk keeps improving that deal will be a freaking steal down the line. Way to get it done, Pax. (As if I had any doubt.)
-
Telling my buddies all year that I wouldn't trade for Nomar if we had to give up Clement, then being absolutely psyched when we didn't have to. (Still wouldn't have done it.) Walker's Superman slide, which I watched with my best friend. Another thing I did with my best friend: started our annual tradition of spending one series at Wrigley for the SD games of 8/11 and 8/12, the 2nd of which Froemming helped to screw us out of before LaTroy (who else) finished the job. Honestly feels like something exciting was going on every single day with that team.

Thanks Cuse. We'll be saying the same to you in the next few years. You have a loose definition of "few" :wink:
-
And since your GM is not an idiot, you probably won't get him back. Hendry on the other hand would sign him to a 4 year deal thinking he had a diamond.

17 hours, 20 minutes. I couldn't BE more pumped.

Wood Files For Free Agency
Andy replied to Mark Priors Calves's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
Doesn't he supposedly want to come back? -
I have only one thing to say TRA-LA-LAA

BSU-Michigan needs no breakdown. It'll be a rout. I'm looking forward to seeing the Big House for myself though. ND-UNC will be just as ugly, as UNC's only win this year is an OT win over I-AA Furman.
