That, and that my earlier opinion that the East is wide open for the taking because of the Heat's slow start was wildly incorrect. It's going to be Boston barring some sort of natural disaster or malaria outbreak. They actually turned it on for about 10 minutes of the game and still won easily.

The main takeaway I have from this game tonight is that Derrick Rose has definitely taken the torch from Kirk Hinrich as the guy in the NBA with the most ridiculous amount of blatant fouls against him that simply aren't called by the officials.

I honestly had successfully blocked Jose Macias out of my head until I listened to those. How could you forget The Gremlin? And at least they don't mention Freddie Bynum. Bynum was an 06 refugee. I wish I didn't remember that.

What a brutal loss for NIU. Damn.

Yeah, I have been hearing this too. WVU will probably be selected if they are 9-3 and not the Big East champ. The Champs can only pick ND once between 2010 and 2013 and would probably like to pick an 8 or 9-win ND in that time frame rather than take a 7-5 ND with a very good alternative available to them. It's possible ND could jump to the Holiday Bowl to replace an empty Pac-10 slot but that would require Washington State beating Washington as well as Oregon beating Oregon State as well as ASU's bowl waiver being denied. Miami in the Sun appears the most likely matchup.

Ron Santo was the most unintentionally funny person in the history of the world, the greatest Cubs fan there ever was and a constant presence in my life since I began listening to games on the radio a decade ago. When I decided to finally buy a Cubs jersey a year and a half ago, I didn't want a current player because I knew it would have a limited shelf life. I wanted one that would always have usefulness. Needless to say I picked Ron. I saw Ron on my way up to my seats at a game last year against Oakland, being escorted to the booth in his cart. I was too shell-shocked at the randomness of the encounter to really do anything, much less ask for an autograph, and I just kept walking. He sort of looked at me as I passed, probably noticing my jersey. Not saying hi or anything to Ron Santo will probably be one of those small regrets that I'll always have. R.I.P. Ronnie. Your replacement in the booth will be better at his job, but there is no way on earth they will be as fun to listen to.

You kinda have to. The guy had a legit shot at getting a decent look off if he's not shoved in the back.
-
Well, that was quite the turn of events.

Theriot to Cardinals
Andy replied to mul21's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
I'd say Ryan Theriot being in the top two spots in the lineup would also have been a contributing factor to 09 and 10 being failures. -
Well in 2008 and 2009 Duke played in Mackey Arena and the Kohl Center for the challenge respectively. Yeah they finally went into true road venues. I wish with Sergio and Frankie we would have got them to come to Assembly Hall. Duke has also played at Assembly Hall (IU version) in the challenge, I believe.

What's wrong with the basketball side? It's not like Georgetown and Marquette, for instance, don't deserve to be in a big-time basketball conference even if they don't want to be big-time in football. Not sure what else you can do with schools like that. TCU in the Big East, FWIW, really doesn't make much less sense than staying in the MWC. Travels to Boise and Fresno would've been just as long as their trips to the northern Big East schools and now they get the BCS bid. It's ridiculous that the conference has twice as many schools in basketball. What don't you get? Whatever. I don't remotely care enough about this to debate it. But the Big East was a basketball-only conference six years before they even started football.

Well, I guess Buffalo would have a rival in the "what the hell are you northeastern schools doing in a midwestern conference" category.
-
There may not be a Pac-10 #3 since there are currently 3 bowl-eligible teams in that league and two of them are going to BCS games.
-
? He's saying that their power rankings have no meaning at all.
-
Syracuse went from unranked to number 10 in the AP and number 24 to number 9 in the coaches, last year Notre Dame once leapt from unranked to #10 as well, in 2002.

NFL teams aren't always very intelligent.

Well, there is already a UIC (Illinois-Chicago), so that would get confusing. They are part of the same system. He's simply asking why the Champaign-Urbana campus gets the "University of Illinois" title over the Chicago campus Isn't the Champaign campus the main one? Seems that would be the obvious reason.

Didn't Boise join the MWC after Utah was already out the door, or am I not remembering that right? In any case, I don't know what on Earth this does to the basketball conference. They should probably just boot DePaul out but I'm not sure they want to do that.
-
Gameday is at Oregon-Oregon State, at least the 3rd time this year they've been to an Oregon game.
-
Man, I love the way Notre Dame basketball plays defense. And I never expected to be typing that sentence circa January 2010. They just out-toughed Wisconsin tonight. I imagine they'll be ranked this week.

is it b/c your school sucks so much that you're so offended by the ND no-bowl last year? ND is likely to go to Champs Sports. They aren't locked into any, but that's probably the best offer they'll get and they'll take it. If Mizzou is going to fall to the Holiday Bowl, then ND's bowl situation is very relevant to me if the Pac-10 can't get a 4th bowl eligible team. That would require Washington losing to Wazzu and the Champs Sports passing on Notre Dame (they get first crack due to the Big East tie-in). Possible but unlikely.

Jake Delhomme has 2 picks and one was returned for a score. Panthers ball at their own 25 with 11 minutes left down 1.
