  1. Is it too what-if/instant-history to say that a Texas win would've been one of the best single-game coaching jobs in sports history? I feel like the way things were going for Texas after McCoy went out that it was a borderline miracle they ever got close. Gilbert really impressed me in the 4th quarter, and the fumble that lost the game really wasn't his fault since he got crunched by an unblocked player on his blind side.
  2. Well, this would certainly cement Pete Carroll for all time as a raging d-bag.
  3. Congrats RF, but stop calling it #13. It's #8. Else we should all get together and dig up every single poll ever voted in college football to decide how many titles our teams have, because I know for one that Penn State would have a few more, ND would have over 20, Oklahoma, LSU, Ohio State, Michigan, etc.
  4. I'm increasingly coming around on the Jets. I'm thinking they're going to win.
  5. Oh good, RF is going to claim the 12 titles, which by Bama's standard is 'anyone who's ever voted for anything puts us #1 so it's a title".
  6. Mike Brey has everyone beat on the 'never playing young guys' front. We play a 7-man rotation currently and none are below juniors in eligibility. The only freshmen I can ever remember Brey playing more than a couple of minutes a game in 10 seasons as coach were Chris Thomas and Luke Zeller (because they were Mr. Basketballs in Indiana), Tory Jackson (out of necessity when McAlarney decided to drive around with weed) and Luke Harangody.
  7. Because Kirk Hinrich was wide open, and it was a point blank 15 foot shot and hes the shooting guard and....how the hell did he miss that shot? That's as close of a gimme as a jump shot can be. I'm sorry if you can't trust your starting SG to hit a 15 foot jumper uncontested and point blank in the clutch, you have big problems. That's not even getting into his wide open 3 pointer he also missed. He's horrible and getting worse every year. Hinrich sucks at shooting the basketball and has for a while. I was more angry with Salmons missing his wide open 3 to tie. I just take for granted that Hinrich will miss these days.
  8. I watched more college football this year than I've ever watched in my life, and what I get for that is an 11-21 bowl picks record so far. Definitely never betting on these again.
  9. Why the Bulls do anything but clear out for Derrick Rose late in games when they're down single digits is befuddling to me. He was schooling Charlotte tonight in the 4th. Schooling them.
  10. What in God's name are you possibly basing this on? The Cubs were worse than the Cardinals in 2009 and have gotten worse at baseball this offseason and one of their best players will miss a month to open 2010. I didn't think that was such a controversial statement.
  11. Notre Dame tried their damnedest to lose to South Florida tonight but managed to hold on because South Florida sucks and their inbounder whipped the ball into the crowd with 2 seconds to go down a point instead of on the basketball court. Harangody had 36 and 6.
  12. I'm ok with this because frankly it's going to take a miracle for the Cubs to compete with STL in 2010 anyway, and once we have our ducks in a row again that contract won't look so good for the Cardinals.
  13. I don't konw why, but I recall hearing it's not allowed. I'm quite sure the Cardinals fans in your office pulled this straight from their collective asses. I'll fully admit to pulling this out of my arse, but they could mean he gets part ownership after he retires, not as part of his current contract. Kind of a buy now pay later unwritten agreement thing. I doubt it's a possibility, but that's probably what they meant. This was a rumor during the Kobe talks and I believe it's not allowed, at least not in the NBA. I can't imagine it would be allowed in MLB either.
  14. Well, if the Bears are stuck with Lovie another year, at least Cowher will still be out there. I know some of you (gooney) aren't going to be as happy about that as some. After John Fox bolts following the 2010 season, we get Cowher. STAY AWAY. :)
  15. Jimmy Clausen having surgery tomorrow on torn toe ligaments that he played on all season - not turf toe as originally reported. Makes his eye-popping numbers more impressive in my opinion. He'll miss the combine.
  16. I'm going to take all the home teams except Green Bay, but I wouldn't be surprised if the Jets beat Cincy as long as they don't let Sanchez screw up too much.
  17. Divisional Playoff schedule: Saturday: Game at New Orleans, 4:30 pm FOX Game at Indianapolis, 8 pm CBS Sunday: Game at Minnesota, 1 pm FOX Game at San Diego, 4:30 pm CBS
  18. I just don't want Colts/Cowboys. Too many of my friends root for one of those teams. Anything else I'd enjoy. I think if anything I want Colts/Packers or Colts/Saints. Lots of points, hopefully.

    NFL Week 17

    Ndamukong Suh by himself should win them two games. :)

    NFL Week 17

    The Panthers are the only team in the history of the league to have two 1,100-yard rushers this year and also went 8-8, so I guess you and I are kindred spirits in the 'insane rushing numbers with little to show for it' regard.

    NFL Week 17

    Alright, so forget what I posted earlier. NYJ/Cin and Phi/Dal on NBC Saturday. Bal/NE and Ariz/GB Sunday on their respective conferences' networks.

    NFL Week 17

    Well, Rematch Weekend should be fun.

    NFL Week 17

    Dal/Phi the early Sunday game, Ariz/GB the late Saturday game according to the guy that does those NFL maps's Twitter account.
  24. Notre Dame hung tough but lost to UConn. I was impressed with the effort but UConn's too big and too talented.
  25. If Brennaman is calling the game you might be awakened by the first instance of fellatio being performed in front of a live national audience. I hate Fox doing these games so much. They haven't done a [expletive] college game all year, but suddenly show up for the biggest games of the year. I can't wait for this contract to expire Luckily for you, that's next year. The Orange Bowl is the last BCS game that Fox will do. ESPN broadcasts them all starting next year.
