The Lou Holtz/Mark May battle last night regarding tomorrow's game was like watching two [expletive] donkeys attempt to attack one another. However, May's assertion that LeSean McCoy will rush for 200 yards is ludicrous. Javon Ringer took like 40 carries to get 200 against ND and I really doubt McCoy will have that many carries. And ND's defense has improved since September. This should be a very entertaining game, though. I think the Irish win but I'm not overly confident about it.

7 of the Big East's teams were between 7-11 and 11-7 in the league last year. I'm not quite sure what you're looking for in the cluster department.

What's impressive though is how good the depth is. Besides South Florida and Rutgers there isn't a gimmie in that conference. This. And even those two have their moments (USF took UConn to OT last year, Rutgers has a history of giving better teams trouble at the RAC). With a road game at Loyola Marymount and Maui almost right off the bat, I should find out quickly if ND is really #9 good. And I have no idea what's up with the Big East in the tourney, but I've always thought measuring an entire conference on it was unwise. Just to use an example I'm familiar with, there were a lot of teams in the 4-seed area that I thought ND could've taken out in the 2nd round if they'd been podded with them as a 5, but I knew Washington State wasn't one of them. Having the Cougars beating my team was one of the easiest picks in my bracket last year. It comes down to matchups a lot.

One of those beasts actually make the elite 8 this year? Why is it ok to use sample size and crapshoot in relation to MLB playoffs but not the NCAA tournament? No worries though, you guys need someone to throw things at now that Eric Gordon isn't in college anymore.
-
When you're rooting for the Chiefs and Raiders in a week, you know it probably won't be a happy one.
-
And mostly due to that returning talent...eight ranked teams in the preseason poll. Two more receiving votes. This league is going to be an absolute bear. And I can't wait.
-
How many people actually like ALL the sports teams in one city? I know there are a few on this site, but with expansion, teams moving and families moving all more than ever I have a feeling it's fewer than it's ever been. That's my problem with the whole 25 years thing. -
Because it is so much harder to run through the likes of Wisconsin, Iowa, Northwestern, and Iowa, because they are legendary powers. We can debate which conference is tougher and/or have more depth, but it would be a short discussion. Besides, Ole Miss would be the Big 10 second best team, period. Have you seen Ole Miss play? Of course not, cause you're allergic to tough hard nose football. Ohio State would crush Ole Miss. Michigan State would probably beat them handily. In fact, the only Big Ten teams I can say with a lot of confidence that Ole Miss would handle would probably be Purdue, IU and Michigan. I can't stand the Big Ten, but this post is absolutely ridiculous.

My grandmother told me last night that she wrote in Hillary Clinton because while she likes Obama she's not comfortable with his stance on abortion, believing it too liberal. I love my grandmother dearly, but she is not very smart.

The MAC East division has two teams tied at 2-2, a 1-2 team, three 1-3 teams and a 1-4 team. And that's league records. Meanwhile Ball State is stuck in the division with three other teams who are 4-1 or better in the MAC. The best four teams in the league all in the West...insane.
-
Very impressive. Doing that again in the Garden would turn some heads. Derrick Rose is too legit to quit.
-
Probably my favorite possible lineup considering the circumstances (Gordon being banged up). Says more about the rest of the Bulls than these five, but still.

Jake Peavy: Available.

Gerut and Hairston have not been 'prospects' of any kind in quite some time. Both are full-time MLB players and have been for a few years. Comparing them to the Cubs names being floated - besides probably Cedeno, who has been around a couple years now - is not really an accurate comparison. I don't know where you get your information, but Gerut hasn't played anything close to full time since 4 years ago, and Hairston has never been a full time player career. He has yet to break 350 ABs in a season. They are both absolutely comparable to Cedeno and Johnson in terms of value. Not that this argument has anything to do with any teams chances of landing Peavey. I meant full time as in they're always with the big club. -
May Clay Bennett burn in hell. Word.
-
Tyrone Willingham does everyone in Seattle a favor and resigns/is fired effective the end of 2008.
-
I'm a bit peeved that I won't get to see this one, or at least pay much attention to it. Going out to dinner with family for a birthday.

Well, I will be watching more BTN than I originally planned. We'll have to assign somebody to make sure we know which games Gus will be doing.

That's a good point, ISU...I've been rooting pointlessly for some catastrophic circumstance of upsets to hit TCU, Utah and Boise, but I'm probably best off just rooting for continued chaos. There is no way the ACC or Pac-10 will get an eligible at-large team into the mix, and if Ohio State loses again they might not get in there either. Whoever is best of the Big 12 and SEC group will get a bid, but now that I think about it Ball State probably has a decent shot to get a BCS bid after all. If they can run the table.
-
yes you morons, he was pulled because he was ineffective. the offensive lineman was holding up two fingers in front of his face to see if he could count that high. i guess that's a fair assessment, though he's had zero opportunities to do so, and he certainly hasn't shown that he CAN'T come through late with everything on the line. Clearly Penn State needs to stop beating the crap out of these inferior teams to give Clark a chance to prove himself.
-
Ball State 16th in the BCS. :D Unbelievable to see.
-
Sole possession! Big win for Carolina.
-
One more 1st down and Carolina will be 6-2.
-
BEASON INTERCEPTION! Panthers can really put the heat on with a score here
-
You start Gus :shock: It's a two-QBs-start league, and I I had Frerotte in because Warner was off last week.
