I am practically salivating for football. I'll start the week 1 thread soon after the preseason coaches' poll comes out (switching to the AP rankings when they come out later in August).
-
Right, that's comparable. IU succeeding in football, to the degree they can, would essentially have no effect on me. It's not like Notre Dame and IU are consistently battling for recruits, and it's not like I said I hope IU is gonna compete for titles. I just have a few friends who are fans, that's all. Not sure why it's such a big deal, and I certainly apologize for offending all the non-IU B1G fanboys.

Thought he was a goner for sure.
-
That's great for IU. Hopefully they can turn that into a few more and start to make some hay in becoming a consistently good program.

2008, and to a lesser extent 2007 were the clear outliers of the past decade. People talk about the Cubs "waiting for the three run homer". That's nonsense, they don't wait for anything. Not that this team would be patient under anyone, but it'd be really cool if we hadn't scapegoated the hitting coach of those 07 and 08 teams for no good reason halfway through 09. -
Just as Sergio Mitre and Jason Marquis before him. The Cubs beat Roy Halladay. I have no idea why, but they do, consistently.
-
Prior was 18-6 (and that record should have been significantly better) with a 2.40 something ERA in 2003 (the height of the steroid era). That's the best single season of pitching that many Cubs fans have ever seen and probably will ever see in their lifetimes. I don't see how drafting that guy was a mistake unless they knew he was fragile, and there was little if any reason to believe that at the time IIRC.

I can't think of one athlete who's taken more crap since 2004 for no real reason like Carlos Zambrano. He's done a couple of idiotic things since being here, but it has reached the point where he is almost literally ripped for doing anything other than playing baseball.

Um, no, they should not.Didn't you hear the man? He said he doesn't care what you say!!! :-)

Kelly has been quoted as saying Floyd will play all the games or none of them, which means he is going to play all of them. how in the world do you know that? you think kelly has been this public about it just for show? jesus. what i've heard is kelly has pretty rigorous [expletive] for floyd to complete and if he does it, he'll reinstate for all the games. while he's had 3 alcohol incidents, the first 2 were minor in possession, so i think it's a bit different from stonum. i think stonum is probably [expletive]. I don't know that, I just find it incredibly unlikely that A) Floyd would fail to impress Kelly with his various rehab efforts, and B) that Kelly would really excise Floyd entirely from his senior year. I expect to see Floyd out there against USF.

6/29 Giants (Lincecum) @ Cubs (Dempster) 7:05 PM WGN
Andy replied to UMFan83's topic in Fred Hornkohl Game Thread Forum
Yeah, it was really nice to see the team happy about something for once. Good win. -

I covered Hatch in a sectional game back in March. He had a great game. Horrible story. Really hope he pulls through.

Cubs do an "It Gets Better" video in support of LGBTQ youth
Andy replied to inari's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Do you think any of the Cubs that participated in the video are homosexuals? What do you want them to do about it? I don't see your reasoning. And how do any of us know that there aren't any Cubs who are gay? The statistics would say there is a very good chance there is. If the message is "don't be a bully, and if you are being bullied, hang in there", then that's fine. If the message is "hey, if you're gay, it gets better", then the message is a bit hollow coming from baseball players because professional sports is one of the least welcoming environments for anyone who is gay. It's a bit like an all white country club putting out a message to minorities that "it gets better". Even if the people putting out the message aren't bigots themselves. Yeah, it's almost like a move like this is done almost entirely for P.R. or something. *waits for the sarcasm to be missed* -
Not that he's going to do much in the pros, but the Bulls should definitely make an FA offer to Ben Hansbrough - especially since they didn't draft a shooter anyway.
-
So Minnesota has traded from 20 to 23 to 28 and now what did they get now? The Heat's 31st pick and a future 2nd rounder apparently.
-
I'm not a big Jimmy Butler fan. He was like the 3rd or 4th best player on a bubble team last year. So there's that.
-
So Norris Cole was actually picked for the Heat, who traded up to get the 28th pick from Minnesota, who originally got it from the Bulls. This is wacky.
-
Actually to Denver via Portland. Rudy Fernandez to Dallas.
-
Marshon Brooks traded from Boston to the Nets for pick 27 and a future 2nd rounder.
-
Didn't the Wolves just pick at 23? That's who we traded with to get 23. But it wasn't even their pick, it was Houston's? So, did HOuston trade with Minnesota, who then traded with the Bulls? NO mention of that on TV. The NBA is dumb about trades and they can't be officially completed until after the draft is over. Houston traded Brad Miller and 23 for Motiejunas and Jonny Flynn, and the Wolves then traded 23 to us for 28, 43 and money.

Well, there's the guy who won't be here next year. One would assume they'll pick a low-ceiling guy who can contribute right away at 30 now.
-
Bulls just traded 28 and 2nd rd pick for 23. Here we go.
