    hahahaha that was an awesome sequence of events by Soriano

    If it makes you feel better Cubbies, I like the Tate George version of that ad much better. I think they need more of those though. Bryce Drew, Ty Rogers, that dude from NW State, Danny Ainge (barf) for starters.

    You've always got your graduation rate, Constable.

    I can't get my head around the Hyundai Lead-Off Man. I've been watching this show for 8 years and now they slap Hyundai on it? Barf

    After all that's gone right in my bracket for the first 5 1/2 days, Texas just goes off and that's it. I stupidly had the Cardinal in the title game and now I'm done.

    There's not going to be anyone rooting for Kansas on Sunday night.

    They're cut-blocking cheap-shot artists, their former CB ran his mouth off to Steve Smith all the time, their former dog-murdering QB had magical powers against my team to the point where he literally levitated 5 yards across the goal line for a game-winning TD that kept us out of the playoffs in 2004, and on top of that Delhomme got his season-ending injury against them last year. Apart from that, they're alright. :wink:

    I am guessing you are a Panthers fan. What's the deal at QB with you guys? Is everyone solidly behind Jake, or has everyone soured on him? Also, don't look now, but Tampa is having a really nice offseason. They may overtake Atlanta for my most hated team. Then again, no one sucks worse than the dirty birds. I think they're still behind Jake. In any case they won't pick a QB before the 3rd round, so it's unlikely anyone would be able to challenge him anyway. I believe his contract is up after this year, though - he looked great last year before his injury, but if he can't keep that up, they'll likely go the FA route in 09. Tampa's got a decent nucleus. If they can figure out which of their 7 quarterbacks will start they could be very dangerous. And I agree with you - I don't dislike any NFL team more than Atlanta.

    both. the prestige of the program is still mostly intact. i'd go so far as to say top 6. unc duke kentucky kansas ucla iu in no particular order. it's tough for me to argue for or against. i'm not close enough to the situation, but it seems that Indiana hasn't had an "elite" team in a long time, Mike Davis' Final Four run not withstanding. I mean, would you consider Penn State a top 10 prestige job in football? that's a tough one. it's going to be VERY interesting to see what happens when JoePa retires. knowing Penn State, they'll just promote a coordinator and completely rule out the idea of getting a marquee head coach from outside the system As football prestige goes, it's difficult to argue a basis, but based on overall program winning percentage, the following 10 programs are the most prestigious: Michigan, Notre Dame, Texas, Ohio State, Oklahoma, Alabama, USC, Nebraska, Tennessee, Penn State. That leaves out programs like Florida State, Florida, Miami and LSU. And with the possible exception of Florida, I think it's fair to say that those last four remain on a lower tier than the first list (PSU and Tennessee can be argued but I'd say they are). There's a reason Les Miles carried on a long flirtation with Michigan before a contract extension kept him at LSU. The last four are consistently very good to great teams - the first list are brand names in college football.

    Tomorrow, I need Michigan State, Stanford and Kansas to win for my bracket. I also would like Davidson to win since that game's a sunk cost anyway. If MSU and Stanford win, making money will become highly likely for me since everyone has Memphis and Texas.

    3/4 tonight. Thanks for turning the ball over 800 times Tennessee. I can still win probably all my pools, but making a splash nationally is probably out.
  12. Andy
    Hahahahahahaha at WVU's inbounds defense there. 78-74 Muskies with 24 to play.
  13. Andy
    Big shot Lavender. Ties it up with a minute-plus to go.
  14. Andy
    Wow, Xavier sucked on that last possession.

    LOL Dan Morgan. Every year he 'looks' healthy and then all of a sudden he has lingering concussion symptoms. He is/was the Panthers' Mark Prior. Have fun with that. Panthers signed some guard from SD. Toniu Fonoti. He's pretty good. Carolina keeps signing people at positions I think they're drafting at, so I'm not sure what they'll do.

    I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed the white/gray thing last year, but if the blues are used mostly on the road rather than at home, I can get back on board.
  18. Andy
    Wow, I didn't realize until now what a giant portion of my team is white.

    Both of those songs blow terribly, but I'd rather not have the Office Depot song.

    I forget, because Delino played 2B/SS. Unless you mean somebody I don't follow. And I'm not sure what Simon did to deserve disdain. I actually quite liked him. Cliff/Pagan I'm not sure about either, although neither were very good, so I suppose that could be the only reason.

    Isiah Thomas or Jim Harrick to IU?? =P~ There's a lot of talk that Tony Bennett is the favorite for IU. There is also a LOT of Pitino to IU chatter, as well. After watching him dismantle my team, I now think IU's list should begin, peak, and end with Tony Bennett. He's done a lot with not much at WSU and shouldn't have a problem getting good recruits to IU.

    I originally voted LaTroy but want to change my vote to Dusty.

    Good pickup. Reed's a good guy to have off the bench.
