Wow, 3rd and 5th rounders isn't a bad haul for Jenkins. He isn't really very good anymore. I like what the Panthers are doing so far this offseason, I just hope they bring in some good FAs and a good draft to top it off.
-
Damn, damn, damn. I'd heard talk that he'd explore his options and I wanted him to leave like none other. Here's to Anderson being Derek Anderson again next year and Quinn getting his shot.

Now that they are finally healthy, the Cards are going to be a tough team to beat. Your team better learn how to play D. You guys are great on offense but your defense is going to cost you in the NCAA's. Ordinarily we are much better on defense...Brey came out in a zone for some odd reason and it failed miserably. There's really no reason for us to play zone unless Luke Zeller (who can't defend bigs by himself) is on the court, because all the other guys we have are decent if unspectacular on the ball defenders. I'm not too worried. For a while now I've been looking at ND as a Sweet 16-caliber team, maybe Elite 8 if they get the right draw, but not more than that. Should be a fun March.

Not the height of comedy or anything, but it's nice to see the Fukudome having no problems blending in with his teammates. I'm pumped for the season.
-
I don't see how I don't take you guys to make the Final Four. Those first twelve minutes or so were utterly dominant. Made us look like fools. Very impressive.

ND loses to Louisville 90-85, never once led in the game and it wasn't that close (Hillesland hit a 3 pointer at the buzzer). Not a surprise to me at all. What was a surprise was Luke Effing Harangody. 40 points, 12 rebounds, and he even drained three triples, his first three of his career, towards the end. What a ridiculous performance.

I really hope Hinrich is eventually the one that falls out of favor. Granted, sample size, but the Bulls' offense has been much better the last few days when Hinrich is not on the court. I dig the free-flowing, anyone can touch the ball, just find open guys offense. I'm really looking forward to the rest of the season. Hughes + Gooden + more minutes for the young guys has equaled a much more fun to watch and frankly much better Bulls team.

You wont be saying welcome home very long, hes a shell of his former self. Anything is better than the cesspool of crap that was anyone in the receiving corps not named Steve Smith last year.
-
Read last night that Trevor Laws out-repped Sedrick Ellis of USC - sort of killing Major Knock No. 2 on Laws, his strength. Major Knock No. 1 is height, but I would love Carolina to take Laws in the 3rd or 4th round if he's there.

Talks for Cubs to play at Cell while Wrigley gets facelift?
Andy replied to UMFan83's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Ludicrous, the Cubs would still outdraw the Sox, and by a fair margin. -
Welcome home Moose!! Muhammad has been signed by Carolina, and David Carr has predictably been dumped.

So you can use your 3-seconds-ahead feed to ruin everything again? :wink: -

Andy replied to UMFan83's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
I would probably opt to go to St. Louis or Milwaukee for a trip rather than go to the Cell. I could see going there for Cubs/Sox but I just don't want to be there otherwise. -
My guy says the deal is done but the Cubs want to give Yao's injury its proper attention.
-
I agree with you louky. I'm looking at Thursday's game as a probable loss for us - the good thing about it is that it's at L'Ville, so unless ND gets completely reamed, it won't be looked at as a bad loss. I think you definitely deserve at least a 3 if you win out, and if you hit the finals, you're definitely a 2. I'm not sure why the Cardinals are so underrated nationally (in particular, why ND is ranked ahead of them in the coaches' poll). On the flip side, if ND wins the game and then beats the crap teams (DePaul, St John's and USF) to finish the season, that'd be 25-5 (15-3) and would have to be at least a 3, meaning the committee would probably give ND a 5 and ship them to the West Coast to play against the best 4-seed. Either way, Thursday's game promises to be the best of the year in the Big East.

I'd be a lot more confident about saying it if Houston had another decent big man, but could they have Ewing Theory potential without Yao? Just throwing it out there.

Sigh. I don't know about this. -
Hughes took good shots tonight. Really I don't have a complaint about any of the Bulls except Aaron Gray, who was no good at defending Yao - but not many unathletic guys with a 6-inch height disadvantage will be.
-
Putting aside the Rockets' insane 3-point shooting, the Bulls played alright tonight. Wins or not, I like watching this team way more than the Wallace-infected one.

+11ty billion. I really don't think it's that big of a stretch, i wish someone in the org would pick up on it. Lee gets on base at a monster rate (.400 obp last year) and his power, which was a big reason why he fit very well in the 3 hole, is now much diminished (maybe it will come back, maybe it wont). So why not just stick him in the 2 spot where a player with a huge obp and moderate power belongs? I think it's safe to say Lee's power will be fine. He was ripping the ball in the second half of last year.

36 in a row at the Joyce behind an incredible performance from McAlarney. 30 points on 9/11 shooting from 3 (a school record for three-point makes). Now all that's left for ND is the Louisville game on Thursday, followed by their final three games coming against the dregs of the league. That ND/Louisville game will almost certainly decide at least a share of the Big East title.
-
Not that I think that it will happen anytime soon, nor am I sure whether or not that was a sarcastic comment, but at this point in spring training, I doubt that they'd wait to allow another sport to have their spotlight. Both teams would want to get the players involved in the trade into the swing of things with their new clubs sooner rather than later. We've been kidding around with 'not taking the spotlight away from' stuff ever since it was actually speculated (I think at OH) that the deal was done but we weren't announcing it to give something its spotlight - may have been the Fukudome signing.
