  1. It is pretty crazy. Even with two of them being end of quarter threes. Thats still 0 for 7 on "normal threes" His 3 looked really bad though. It does not have nearly enough lift on it. He only took one other non 3PT jumpshot, which he made. Everything else was in the paint. And some people on the NBA forums are saying its some conspiracy he got to the line 21 times. Of course they are. I watched the game, and not one of his FTs came on a phantom foul.
  2. Mayock replacing Theismann/Millen, which is a great move. Johnson/Mayock would be an excellent team.
  3. Yep. CSN+ is non-HD and an absolute formatting nightmare. Heh, I get CSN+ in HD but not WCIU, so I feel the exact opposite.
  4. I'm just shocked anyone in the Legends/Leaders conference agreed to a non-conference game with an FBS opponent outside of September. I thought the conference schedule was much too important to Jim Delany for ND to divert eyeballs from it. I'm glad to be playing Northwestern. It's a good series to have on the slate.
  5. Amazingly, the Cubs managed to win a game. As if that weren't enough, they won a game in which I started the thread, which is the first time in like 4 years they've pulled off that feat. They will have to beat some long odds to do it again, because due to the DL-loving rotation we have, we're pulling out another emergency starter. This time it will be ex-reliever James Russell, who seems to enjoy the company of some odd people http://cdn1.sbnation.com/fan_shot_images/112081/20100416_astrosvscuba_0191.jpg against the great and powerful Brett Myers. http://thatreenagirl.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/bobby-brown-my-prerogative.jpg Whoops, that's not him. http://static.igossip.com/photos_2/february_2011/how_cute_so_cute_Chris_Brown.jpg Crap, that's not him either. http://www.techbanyan.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/charlie-sheen-arrested.jpg Hmm, I'll get this eventually... http://www.jimmyscottshighandtight.com/files/Kim_Myers.jpg There he is. So anyway, the Cubs will be playing on CSN, which bodes well since they are incapable of winning on the superstation, WGN. To celebrate that point, here's a dog wearing a Superman cape. http://dogs.thefuntimesguide.com/images/blogs/superman-dog-wearing-cape.JPG Go Cubs!
  6. The Blackhawks' first home games in the playoffs are on the Sunday and Tuesday following the beginning of the playoffs. So we can be fairly certain the Bulls will not be playing either day. Get ready for a Saturday/Wednesday beginning (assuming the NBA pulls their usual BS of dragging the first round into oblivion).
  7. So today the Cubs send their Answer Man http://a323.yahoofs.com/ymg/ept_sports_mlb_experts__12/ept_sports_mlb_experts-782275068-1221758343.jpg?ymiOYrAD8wwIFnT1 to the mound to try and stop this ridiculous nonsense we call 'losing'. Lucky for the Cubs, the elixir served them in aid of this quest is one that's proven to be very effective: the Houston Astros. So Geovany Soto returns to the scene of his inside the park homer, and if he wants to revisit that night, he will have to do it against one Nelson Figueroa, who some believe will have the light shining upon him due to the fact he's facing the Cubs. http://ohmurph.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/nelson-figueroa.jpg Apropos of nothing: http://www.cubby-blue.com/.a/6a00d83451fe4669e2013487524ff0970c-800wi Go Cubs! Put the Astros in the http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e67/ndistops/Dumpster.jpg
  8. I don't think so. I pretty sure somebody posted 3-0 on CSN and 0-3 on WGN coming into the series which puts the Cubs at 4-1 on CSN and 0-4 on WGN now. The Cubs have sucked on WGN forever. Even in 08, I'm pretty sure they were barely over .500 on WGN.
  9. And Kelly says Floyd is still suspended as of now.
  10. Floyd may yet miss games due to coach punishment (and I'd still be surprised if he didn't), the university just didn't suspend him - just to clarify.
  11. Notre Dame will probably finish 6th or 7th in the Big East, make the tournament again and lose early again. I look forward to watching Scott and Abromaitis and the development of Eric Atkins, but my excitement level is still very muted after the crappy final 2.5 games ND closed the season with.
  12. Yeah, I was in some of those AIM chats and a good deal of the people I remember regularly being in them don't post in game threads hardly ever anymore.
  13. Three questions for Mike Quade: 1) Why is Reed Johnson hitting vs a RHP in the 9th when we're losing and Kosuke Fukudome is available? 2) Why is Darwin Barney hitting 2nd, ever? 3) Why is Marlon Byrd hitting 3rd, ever?
  14. I'll post mine too. Drop Holliday add Werth.
  15. Put the Buccos in the http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e67/ndistops/Dumpster.jpg
  16. I'm not a huge fan of taking yet another QB, but I also don't love anyone else at the top and much as I would like to believe it's not true, there's no reason to believe Clausen will ever get Carolina to where they want to go. So I'll take Blaine Gabbert, QB, Missouri.
  17. Man, no offense to Bradley, but the MAC really is a far cry from what it used to be if their top coaches are going to mid-level Valley teams.
  18. I officially love Mike Quade. The 2011 Cubs may not make the playoffs, but it won't be because of stupid management decisions.
  19. I got one Elite 8 team right and zero Final 4 teams. This is the worst bracket I have ever filled out. And I can't wait for next weekend.
  20. I really have not been a fan of Turner's need to shoehorn their broadcast crew into the tournament. With the possible exception of Barkley. And it also kept Jay Bilas out of the tournament, a huge negative.
  21. Is Arkansas really a better job? The SEC is hot garbage and has been for some time.
  22. Group A: Albert Pujols Group B: Adrian Gonzalez, Carlos Gonzalez Group C: Troy Tulowitzki, Matt Holliday, Ryan Braun Group D: Jason Heyward, Justin Morneau, Kendry Morales, Ike Davis, Geovany Soto Wild Card: Will PM
  23. Heh. I defer to you on that. I hadn't even thought about Matt James in that list.
