  1. They should, but Clemson had a good win as well so who knows
  2. It's always nice to know that none of your games all season will mean anything before NFL season even starts. Super excited to go 8-4 without any decent wins and another offseason of being told it would be dumb to expect any better.
  3. I left Hunt on my bench in fantasy football because I'm an idiot I left Hunt on my bench because I had no interest in starting a rookie in his first game against the Patriots. He went for like $40 in my auction draft that happened just a day or two after Ware was announced out for the season. Obviously looked really damn good last night.
  4. Yeah, I phrased that poorly. I just meant that inasmuch as teams think tanking is a good idea, this proposed reform would probably do nothing whatsoever to dissuade them of it.
  5. It will still be a viable strategy if that particular idea goes through. Changing the bottom three teams to each have equal chances at the #1 pick doesn't disincentivize tanking at all - in fact it probably helps as you no longer have to be the worst team in the league to have a somewhat decent shot.
  6. Pittsburgh defensive positioning helped, that was probably a single with normal placement. Who had Avila plating Leonys Martin for a game winning run that mattered in March?
  7. Florida and FSU's games against tomato cans both moved up to noon. IU/Virginia takes the ESPNU slot vacated by Miami/Ark St.
  8. Another hurricane-addled week. Miami @ Arkansas State has been canceled and won't be rescheduled, and Memphis @ UCF has been moved to Friday.
  9. I don't deserve to win after mismanaging the crap out of my wild card.

  11. I have no idea how the physics works on that to be possible I covered a game once where a kid did that. I don't know how it happens but the idea terrifies me
  12. And Francois' leg was destroyed. Not the greatest day for them
  13. Back to back days with upset bids ending with thuds.
  14. I'd like to see Quintana have at least one more badass start like his debut before the playoffs, just to make myself feel better about him being the #4. (Although I guess he might be #3 to break up the lefties.)
  15. LSU vs BYU moved to New Orleans because of the hurricane.
  16. That phrase will forever conjure video of routine running catches on MVP Baseball in my head.
  17. I got hit with PF a couple years ago and it went away very quickly after I got insoles for it.
  18. Anthony Rizzo, by Bryan Shaw in Game 7 of the WS? Russell got the free pass 2 batters later, after the Zobrist double
  19. Fun times begin. As always, I'm using ET for the listings, and will use AP rankings until the playoff committee rankings begin later in the season. “Week Zero” Games (Aug. 26) ------------------------------ Rice vs (12) Stanford – in Sydney (10 pm, ESPN) (19) South Florida at San Jose State (7:30 pm, CBSSN) Portland State at BYU (3 pm, ESPN) Oregon State at Colorado State (3 pm, CBSSN) Top 25 games ------------------------------ (3) Florida State vs (1) Alabama – in Atlanta (8 pm, ABC) (2) Ohio State at Indiana (8 pm Thursday, ESPN – Megacast) Western Michigan at (4) USC (5:15 pm, Pac-12 Network – Regional) Kent State at (5) Clemson (12 pm, ESPN) Akron at (6) Penn State (12 pm, ABC) UTEP at (7) Oklahoma (3:30 pm, FOX) (8) Washington at Rutgers (8 pm Friday, FS1) Utah State at (9) Wisconsin (9 pm Friday, ESPN) Tulsa at (10) Oklahoma State (7:30 pm Thursday, FS1) (11) Michigan vs (17) Florida – in Arlington, TX (3:30 pm, ABC) Georgia Southern at (12) Auburn (7:30 pm, SEC Network) BYU vs (13) LSU – in New Orleans (9:30 pm, ESPN) Appalachian State at (15) Georgia (6:15 pm, ESPN) (16) Louisville vs Purdue – in Indianapolis (7:30 pm, FOX) Bethune-Cookman at (18) Miami (12:30 pm, FSN/ESPN3) Stony Brook at (19) South Florida (4 pm, ESPN3) Central Arkansas at (20) Kansas State (7 pm) (22) West Virginia vs (21) Virginia Tech – in Landover, MD (7:30 pm Sunday, ABC) Maryland at (23) Texas (12 pm, FS1) Montana State at (24) Washington State (10:30 pm, FS1) Georgia Tech vs (25) Tennessee – in Atlanta (8 pm Monday, ESPN) Other nationally available games --------------------------------------------------- Presbyterian at Wake Forest (6:30 pm Thursday, ESPN3) Buffalo at Minnesota (7 pm Thursday, BTN) Austin Peay at Cincinnati (7 pm Thursday, ESPN3) Elon at Toledo (7 pm Thursday, ESPN3) Rhode Island at Central Michigan (7 pm Thursday, ESPN3) Tennessee State at Georgia State (7 pm Thursday, ESPN3) North Dakota at Utah (7:30 pm Thursday, Pac-12 Network) Holy Cross at UConn (7:30 pm Thursday, ESPN3) Florida A&M at Arkansas (8 pm Thursday, SEC Network) UL Monroe at Memphis (8 pm Thursday, CBSSN) Sacramento State at Idaho (9 pm Thursday, ESPN3) New Mexico State at Arizona State (10:30 pm Thursday, Pac-12 Network) Fordham at Army (6 pm Friday, CBSSN) Charlotte at Eastern Michigan (6:30 pm Thursday, ESPN3) Central Connecticut State at Syracuse (7 pm Friday, ESPN3) Colorado State vs Colorado – in Denver (8 pm Friday, Pac-12 Network) Navy at Florida Atlantic (8 pm Friday, ESPNU) Boston College at Northern Illinois (9:30 pm Friday, CBSSN) Ball State at Illinois (12 pm, BTN – Regional) Wyoming at Iowa (12 pm, BTN – Regional) Bowling Green at Michigan State (12 pm, ESPNU) Missouri State at Missouri (12 pm, SEC Network) California at North Carolina (12:20 pm, ESPN3) Youngstown State at Pittsburgh (1 pm, ESPN3) Portland State at Oregon State (2 pm, Pac-12 Network – Regional) VMI at Air Force (2 pm, ESPN3) NC State vs South Carolina – in Charlotte (3 pm, ESPN) Temple at Notre Dame (3:30 pm, NBC) Nevada at Northwestern (3:30 pm, BTN) William & Mary at Virginia (3:30 pm, ESPN3) Troy at Boise State (3:45 pm, ESPNU) Eastern Washington at Texas Tech (4 pm, FSN) Charleston Southern at Mississippi State (4 pm, SEC Network) Kentucky at Southern Miss (4 pm, CBSSN) Stony Brook at South Florida (4 pm, ESPN3) James Madison at East Carolina (6 pm, ESPN3) NC Central at Duke (6 pm, ESPN3) Miami (OH) at Marshall (6:30 pm, Facebook) Liberty at Baylor (7 pm, FS2) SE Missouri State at Kansas (7 pm, ESPN3) Hampton at Ohio (7 pm, ESPN3) SE Louisiana at UL Lafayette (7 pm, ESPN3) Stephen F.

  20. We would've announced a trade if we had given something up for him. It was a straight waiver claim.
  21. Wilson won't get the L, but by God he deserves it
  22. This dude is a horsefeathering clown.
