  1. I realy can't stand anything about UConn. Their coach is a sleaze, their players get into lots of trouble off the court, and even those that don't (Thabeet) are complete ninnies on the court.
  2. I was at church and missed the first half, but reading the first half's posts, it sounds like the fact that UConn is the only Big East team that I vehemently root against is once again being justified.
  3. I just start giggling when people try to run on Soriano now.
  4. Most of the off-season I haven't been ready to get going with the 09 season, but the last couple of weeks have produced the same anxiety of any other season. Let's get this going.
  5. I think I had us overperforming our Pythagorean by like 9 games last year. I fixed that this time around. by having us underperforming our pythagorean by like 9 games this year? I have us at +153 in runs and +16 in wins. Am I missing something?

  7. July 27-29 will be my annual trip to Wrigley this year against Houston. I've picked up bleachers to the first one, but bleachers for the other two are unavailable. I also picked up a pair of Terrace Infield seats to the Cubs/Cardinals game on April 17th. That will be my first Cubs/Cards game, and I'm very excited.
  8. Michael Jordan got hit harder and more often in any one playoff game against Detroit in the late '80s and 1990 than LeBron has ever been hit in his entire life.
  9. I'm failing to see why Mike Scioscia would've left Anaheim for the Cubs right after winning a World Series.
  10. it sure makes the idea of ncaa basketball being for "student-athletes" seem pretty comical. but we pretty much knew that already. If coaches can jump schools without punishment, why shouldn't the athletes who made their college choice assumedly in large part due to the coach be able to make the jump too?
  11. Is that the rumor? I wouldn't bet on Dixon leaving Pitt except to go to a real 'name' basketball school, which USC is not, but you may know something I don't.

    Yeah, I just looked at it for a few minutes. Really good. Can't wait to watch it in regular-season action.
  13. The grays should be set on fire. They are awful.
  14. He doesn't pitch and therefore doesn't need the magic of one Dave Duncan. :wink: I'm looking for the magic of Rick Ankiel and Ryan Ludwick Not many were confident in Ludwick to do it again... I think we've become pretty good at evaluating who's likely to have the pixie dust again and who isn't. I think most of us feel Ankiel will continue to be pretty good but Ludwick won't be nearly the same.
  15. Absolutely. The team that finished tied for 4th in the Big Ten beat the team that finished tied for 9th in the Big East (who also has a history of sucking beyond belief in the city of New York), so it's settled. ha ha ha, just talking a little trash. There seemed to be a lid on the basket for ND in the first half....I've never seen so many gimme layups roll off the rim. I thought Harongody was going to eat PSU alive inside, but they suddenly came up with some interior defense in the past week. Who knew? I missed the game, but that's happened from time to time with us. Just a bad time for it to happen. I noticed McAlarney shot 2/11, which is pretty much par for the course with him. I was hoping to win the NIT, but the season was a disappointment either way. SSR, I was drunk when I made that post. Don't worry about it. 8-)
  16. If I hadn't taken Cary Harris already in round 2, I'd have taken Bruton with my 3rd rounder. Good pick by AI.

  18. Carolina ran some wildcat last year with DeAngelo Williams. With their third-round pick, they'll take a guy who can run some more of it: QB Pat White from West Virginia. He can also jump in as a RB or a WR on occasion. Carolina loves guys they can move around a lot (Steve Smith, Williams). dew has been PM'd.
  19. Every year I take a risk with my pick and end up with someone who never hits any homers. I just decided to take my guaranteed 10-ish this year and went with Mike Fontenot.
  20. i'm pretty sure the acc has a team in the final four. also the big xii does not. As we've already discussed, the ACC sucked outside of UNC, and the Big 12 has had a very solid tournament.
  21. ESPN's trashing of the Big Ten during basketball season is the same as their trashing of Notre Dame during football season - because they don't control the TV rights for those teams, they undermine them at every opportunity. Only I guess the Big Ten fans aren't used to it, because you guys are acting as petulantly as I used to (and sometimes still do) before I realized this fact. The Big Ten, Big East and Big 12 all had fantastic tournaments. The Big East went in as probably the best conference so they pretty much maintain that, the Big 12 was with the ACC and now jumps them for 2nd, and the Big Ten does the same jump past the ACC for 3rd because they got a team in the Final Four. Done and done.
  22. Williams had that crazy and-1 dunk against Villanova, it's safe to say he has some ability.
  23. Luke Harangody if Harangody got every piece of contact ever against him called. That's why I hate him. He just got a touch foul called 40 feet from the basket against the national player of the freaking year. Unbelievable. I've never seen someone have the refs so far in their pocket.
  24. Typical UNC, booing like crazy after two guys shove the player of the year at the same time.
