    Interesting theory as I've never noticed her dolled up as much as she was Wednesday either. What if she was dating a Cub covertly? That'd be pretty sweet.

    Surprised this wasn't mentioned - the coaches' poll came out today and Georgia was #1, though it was far from unanimous. Pretty surprised to see Michigan in there, very surprised to see West Virginia so high, and pretty surprised Kansas was left out of the top 10. The AP rankings are scheduled to come out on the 16th, and I'll post the Week 1 thread soon afterwards. 1. Georgia (22) 2. USC (14) 3. Ohio State (14) 4. Oklahoma (3) 5. Florida (5) 6. LSU (3) 7. Missouri 8. West Virginia 9. Clemson 10. Texas 11. Auburn 12. Wisconsin 13. Kansas 14. Texas Tech 15. Virginia Tech 16. Arizona State 17. Brigham Young 18. Tennessee 19. Illinois 20. Oregon 21.

    Completely agree. I don't understand why people spend all the money on real jerseys either. What's worse is the people who bought all those 2007 Division Champs clothing. It was dated 20 seconds after the playoffs ended for the Cubs. I forgot to mention that I have an 07 division champs t-shirt, which I bought after the playoffs. Three losses to an anti-Pythagorean team doesn't take away my fond memories of the '07 season, hence the purchase.

    So awesome. Sigging this immediately. Thank you sir.

    Why are you frustrated? It should be clear by now that Ryan Ludwick is a very good baseball player. Oh yeah, he's a stud. Some comparable players according to baseball reference are Termell Sledge and Mike Diaz. Termell is only 31 this year, we should see if we can sign him. Let's check with his local 7-11 to see if he has the vacation built up to play. This is so wrong but so funny (and puts in perspective how ridiculous this Ludwick thing is).
  6. Andy
    That's pretty much apt.

    We just exposed the Brewers about as thoroughly as anyone has ever been exposed as not ready for the big time. This is my new favorite regular season series of all time. Following on Gameday was hell only as far as not getting to see the beating administered live. This is quite seriously about as happy as I've ever been to be a Cubs fan.

    He'll be a good fit at Duke where athletics (and certainly football) take a backseat to academics. I just disliked him immensely because of the ridiculous 7 home, 4 road, 1 neutral schedule template he was trying to get installed (basically guaranteeing we couldn't add any more marquee matchups to the sked - and rumor is that Alabama was one of the interested teams stonewalled by that ridiculous idea which really pisses me off), the lack of movement on the renovations to the Joyce Center, his insane Weis contract extension, etc. etc. He's best suited to a school like Duke. And I was quite happy with our AD hire to replace him.

    4 up over everybody else in the NL, and we have the best trio of starting pitchers in the universe. No one wake me up from this dream.
  10. Andy
    5 out of 6 actually, but great performance
  11. Andy
    If we're gonna go with a 5 man pen, why not get some more bench offensive players up here?
  12. Andy
    Chad Gaudin is the goods. Hendry did a spectacular job getting Beane to part with him.
  13. Andy
    Uh, Dempster had BETTER freaking not be coming back out
  14. Andy
    Demps's next 3 years will not be worth 30M. I love the guy but it's best to let him walk at the money he'll command.
  15. Andy
    He won't be here next year so that's not an issue. you're so sure that Hendry won't be duped into a 4 year deal based on this season? Not with Samardzija, Marshall and Rich Hill all possible replacements, I don't think.
  16. Andy
    He won't be here next year so that's not an issue.

    My favorite...ridiculous.
  18. Andy
    Maybe we need to keep doubting him. I stopped doing that a while ago.
  19. Andy
    Looks like just one man's opinion though. He doesn't cite any polls.
  20. Andy
    This, so far, has been pretty much the greatest regular season series ever.
  21. Andy
    Put the Brewers in the http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e67/ndistops/Dumpster.jpg

    On another note, it should be only another couple of weeks or so until I can officially post the week 1 thread. I can't wait for the season to start.

    Also, my attitude towards the Big 10 may be why Big 10 fans hate us (BTW, it bears repeating that that conference had its chance to have us and instead blackballed any of them from playing us), it doesn't explain everyone else in America.
  24. Andy
    Why Big 10 people hate ND fans! For the Big East, that hate would only help us and has. That's because ND doesn't play any Big East teams (in football), so their "we're better than everyone and don't need you" attitude doesn't rub you the wrong way. The Big 10 has had a fairly symbiotic relationship with ND (Michigan, Purdue and Michigan St. mostly, with PSU having some history), yet fans like Andy constantly say "whatever, we don't even want to play you", etc. ND has been playing Big East teams for a while (Pitt? WVU around the turn of the century? Syracuse?), and the reason we dumped BC from the schedule is mainly because they ditched the Big East under cover of night. Kevin White, before he left Notre Dame (thank God), was working on getting 3 BE teams on the schedule every year (the same amount as our 'half the season' Big Ten schedule). And it's not that I don't appreciate the fact that the Big Ten provides our September schedule. I just dislike the conference and most of their fans for basically the exact reason they dislike us (think they're bigger than they are, especially Purdue and MSU). Not playing the Big Ten is not feasible anyway because we're contracted to UM until 2031 and MSU and Purdue basically in perpetuity.

    It worked last time, I guess. Decent lineup, and while I don't like seeing Soto sitting out more often than usual lately as a fan, I recognize that it's probably a smart idea.
