That was a hell of a play to get that pick.

Purdue could be a 5-1 team. I'm hoping that's a shot at CubbieBum and not a serious thing. They're not 5-1 because they're not good. No they aren't. I'm just saying that they aren't as bad as their record and it takes a lot of bad luck to lose that many close games. I'm also a Big Ten homer. Fair enough. I do think they're capable of being better than they have been - they played pretty well against ND.

How in holy hell is Purdue leading Ohio State? I'm convinced no one in the Big Ten is really any good.

Would Gruden leave the booth to revive a moribund Big East program?

Ball State's game with Purdue is being moved to Dec. 19th in Indy for the Wooden Tradition. Was going to be in Mackey on Dec. 5th. I like it. Good chance to get some exposure.

I got 104. I didn't get Cedeno, Walker or Hollandsworth and don't know jack about the early-'90s Cubs.

Dave Duncan says he'll return if Tony La Russa does

There's an army of crappy starting pitchers just waiting to sign with STL should that duo be there to wave their magic wands. -
I'd like to see Yanks-Dodgers.
-
I almost knew that was going to happen - I think it was a few days after Daryle Ward's homer off Kevin Gregg, which officially pushed the 2008 Cubs into "they don't surprise me anymore" mode regarding comebacks and clutch hitting.
-
No disrespect, but don't you think those opponents are looking at the Panthers as their opportunity to get well? Probably. But the Bucs are 0-5, and the Bills just lost to a QB that went 2/17 - I think they have a lot more to deal with than we do.
-
Carolina's cream-puff October continues. Bye, vs Skins, at Bucs, vs Bills is our October schedule. Need to win this week and next to keep playoff hopes alive because it's not easy after that.
-
They wore them in a win against Army in 2006 - the idea being to honor the senior class of that year that had contributed so much, I guess (last home game). Supposedly his kid came up with the idea.
-
Yeah, I got pretty excited for that. Weis said the earliest he'd be back would be Pitt, so that's actually four weeks too late. FWIW, he also said ND will wear blue, not green, on Saturday.
-
Yeah you guys should get JaMarcus Russell. Talented guys who give a crap. So, you want Carolina to trade for Brady Quinn. It all makes sense now. :) And Joe Thomas, Darren McFadden, Louis Murphy, Josh Cribbs... The great thing about it is those teams will give those guys up for garbage.

Miklasz: "These Cards are playing like Cubs"

Game 4. -
Was that the game against the Brewers? I'm almost positive he had something like 16 or 17 K's in a game against the Brewers but ended up with the lost. Reds. He didn't lose the game but left with it tied at 1 and we lost. Only run was a Sammy homer but it was after the fans had turned on him.
-
I've come to the conclusion that Carolina needs to trade for some talented guys on the Browns and Raiders. The jump in production just for leaving those organizations seems to be huge.
-
That was against St Louis in extra innings. (In STL) Not that I doubt you, but do you remember which game it was? All I remember is still up relatively late watching the game, which I believe went into extras. It was July 24th, 2005. http://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/SLN/SLN200507240.shtml

I don't remember what bowls get which Big Ten finisher, after the Rose Bowl, but PSU is going to have a tough time finishing higher than 3rd. I'd bet it comes down to Iowa/OSU with PSU 3rd. MSU 4th? Wisconsin? Hard to say. The Big Ten schools have played such crappy out of conference schedules that it's hard to know how good any of them are. It used to go Rose - Capital One - Outback - Alamo, but I don't know if that's true anymore That sounds correct. The Gator Bowl becomes a Big Ten bowl starting next year though, I believe.
-
I'd rather play Miami. The media would arbitrarily decide that that didn't count as a big game if we beat Boise State, and Miami would be an awesome matchup for historical purposes to harken back to the old rivalry.
-
Why on Earth would the Fiesta Bowl pick Boise State over Miami? If my understanding is correct, the Fiesta gets to pick before the Sugar does. Less travel distance for Boise fans than Miami fans? I still have to think they'd get more Miami fans out there than Boise.

Everything I'm about to say is unlikely, but consider this: If Tennessee wins out (including current #2 ranked Alabama and fringe top-25 South Carolina), does that get Berry at least an invite? Tennessee very well could be ranked (albeit low) at that point and Berry likely would have played very well for us to win those games. There would also be quite a bit of talk about Tennessee unseating Alabama. I don't know, but it's a thought. Maybe. I don't see why not if Berry plas a major role. He's the best defensive player in the nation, and if he several stand out plays against Alabama and SC then its possible. Just very unlikely :-). It's sad that a player has to be on a top 25 (preferably top 15+) team to be in a serious Heisman race. Berry could have fantastic games and standout plays, but the offense does nothing and the team finishes the year 6-6 and he'd never get any Heisman consideration. But if he plays the exact same way and the offense is good enough to get us to 8-4 or 9-3, then he might get consideration. The Heisman has fast lost meaning for me and many others for that basic reason. Guys like Jason White and Troy Smith basically win the Heisman because they're a very good player that happens to be on an outstanding team.
