    Good lord, Bradley before Ramirez? Lee still third? Soto seventh? That's a horrible idea.
  2. Andy
    This sounds like it could be good, maybe. Interesting idea at least.

    Getting a 1st rounder of any type for Thabo is a pretty good pickup. It's unlikely we'll get someone great, but there's always the chance of stumbling on a contributor in the late first round.

    Don't like the word they used but they won so I think they can chant what they want. I just found it rich considering they all probably went home with their sisters that night.

    Notre Dame headed to the NIT after losing to West Virginia. They probably needed to be 10-8 with their crappy RPI, so they'd now need to win out including a home game with Nova and a trip to UConn. Big props to West Virginia's student section which chanted "Luke's a (six-letter gay slur)" the entire game. Really original. Really classy. He's better than anyone on your whole damn team, you punks. 26/13 while our guards took turns turning the ball over the entire game and our other forwards decided to let WVU set world records for offensive rebounds.

    I'm a lot more excited about the contract implications than I am about Miller. Miller's an ok big guy, but we now have two sizable contracts that come off the books in 2010. Those will be nice trade chips next year.
  7. Andy
    That's pretty fantastic. Basically we traded Nocioni for Miller, and Miller's contract is up in 2010.

    I think it's been discussed on here before that the committee won't put the two black colleges (SWAC and MEAC champions) against each other in the play-in game even though most years they're easily the two worst teams in the tournament.

    Hahahahahaha, awesome.

    I have almost literally no money, so I'm going to be following SSR's lead and try secondary market later on.

    I'm doing Gameday Audio this year. I'm blacked out of Cubs games anyway. Why don't you watch it on TV or do you not have cable or satellite? CSNC is the RSN in this area and I am able to watch all the games (except WCIU because it's too much of a pain to switch over to an antenna to get it on channel 69). MLBTV blacks out in market subscribers which is why you cannot get the Cubs games (nor Sox, Tigers, Reds). So I am going to assume this is for when you are working. When I'm working will be nice, but I also don't get CSN+, so that's a fair few games I can't otherwise watch. And like last year I'm sure I'll be wanting to follow other teams' games too.

    I'm doing Gameday Audio this year. I'm blacked out of Cubs games anyway. MLBTV follows blackout rules too? I only want it for Cubs games. If the Cubs will get blacked out then forget it. You bet they follow the blackout rules. Can't miss more chances to screw over baseball fans.

    Well, I couldn't have asked for much more as a completely biased observer. Thabeet comes up short big time in UConn's biggest game yet. DeJuan Blair is and continues to be a monster.
  15. Andy
    Wow, DeJuan Blair damn near broke Thabeet's arm.
  16. Andy
    I see the Cubs finally stopped stacking the early spring with night games.
  17. Andy
    Yeah, St. John's should never have happened. They'd be just fine without that loss, even now. I figure 9-9 with 2 BET wins would get them in, or 10-8 with 1. 9-9 with 1 BET win or 10-8 with zero would be bubble at best.

    Notre Dame played a stretch of 8 games where they played 7 teams who were ranked in the top 10 at some point during the stretch (Cincy was the exception). That may be the toughest stretch any college hoops team has played in decades. Brey should be hammering this point home every time he talks to the media. Politicking works. I will reiterate this point when Hasheem Thabeet wins Big East POY over Harangody - Calhoun's been all but carrying signs. Anyway, ND had some issues with South Florida today - they always do - but managed to win 67-57. I was really impressed with our defense in the second half. Harangody had 19 and 11, but KMac was the big deal - hitting five treys. He's finally getting his shot back, and just in time. West Virginia on Wednesday night will be huge. With the reconfigured Big East tournament, seeds 5-8 get a bye and play a 9-16 seed team in their first game, so getting to the 5-8 mark would help immensely. Ball State scored a huge victory today at home over the MAC East leader, Buffalo, 53-51. The Bulls had won nine in a row. Ball State's alone atop the West at 6-5 and gains a ton of confidence for if the two teams meet in the MAC tourney.

    This is probably my favorite Cubs' moment. I still get chills every time I watch that highlight. which game was that from? the hr in the 9th against the brewers? That one was the White Sox walk-off homer this last year.

    I exaggerate not one iota when I say there was not one even 5-minute period of this season before tonight where Notre Dame looked remotely like a team that could beat Louisville 90-57 under any circumstances. Luke 32 and 17, though I fear that the ridiculous Thabeet love combined with UConn's superior record is going to snake Big East POY from him. That is simply the best we can play. Dim tournament hopes still alive, I guess.

    the hats in the pic above are from the 4th of july or another american holiday. they aren't what the cubs will be wearing on the road. They introduced the darker hats a few years ago - as BP hats. I love mine! The typical "Cubbie-Blue" is a very harsh color (in my opinion). The darker blue is just simply a better looking hat . . . I know and love the hats of which you speak (I own one too), but the BP hats we have now are even brighter than the regular ones.

    Tyler Hansbrough remains a girl after falling down like a concussed man after receiving an elbow to the side of the neck (not the face). Oh, and Ty Lawson is much better than Hansbrough is. Lawson's the best PG in the nation by some margin.

    I'd say nothing, because, and I have no idea who originally made this point, but someone said something that made sense to me. Who's going to be leafing through baseball records without knowing context? I think any reasonable baseball fan knows to take these numbers with a grain of salt. Why mess with the numbers? You leave them there, and everyone knows the truth anyway.

    Apparently Tony La Russa's insane "if you can play infield, you can play outfield" statement is true in reverse too. This is comedic.
