    I think Joe Buck really does hate the Cubs, or at least dislike them... he's a Cardinal announcer, it's not too hard to see the connection. Meanwhile, where is the Jimmy-Claussen-is-God coverage the other day does one get the idea that ESPN hates ND? Oh brother, it's the media. They pump up Jimmy because he got hype. As soon as he shows signs of not being good (which he hasn't really yet), they'll rip him down like they do everyone they put up on a pedestal. And Pat Forde JUST WROTE an article blasting Weis for winning with Willingham's players and being unable to win with his own, ignoring A) that Ty couldn't win with his own players (ever notice how NO ONE points out that Ty's only decent season as coach came with Bob Davie's players?) and B) that very few of Weis's players had any experience at all coming into the season and were immediately charged with beating two (current) Top 20 teams, one on the road in front of 110,000. So there's that.

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't every single commentator on that network debate the worthiness of ND getting a BCS bid the last TWO years in a row, ignoring the fact that they got an AUTOMATIC BID in 2005 and that the only other option in 2006 was West Virginia, who got smoked by South Freaking Florida? I don't know if that's bias or not, but it sure as hell was stupid journalism.

    Can't tell you how funny it is that the media outlet that despises Notre Dame the most is being called out for talking about them too much. NARF ESPN despises Notre Dame? That's funny, because I could've sworn that they spent more time talking about ND during Saturday's game than they did about spent talking about their opponent, which happened to be much better, and also relevant in a major conference race, if not the national championship picture. But in any case, those who watched Saturday's game and have a sense of humor should find the link above to be funny. They talked about us because that's what they think people want to hear. Apart from Jimmy, you'll notice not much of it was complimentary (nor should it have been). I put up with ND getting a ton of attention because it means I get to see most all their games on TV, but that doesn't mean I like it.

    Oh my god. I'll give TLR credit, if he did go (back) to the South Side, he'd somehow be even more hated by Cubs fans.

    My roommate came in to tell me one of our basketball players got arrested for drugs just as that play was happening, and I was too busy yelling and jumping around my room to notice him. OMG...HUGE. And (just barely)... Ryan put the Astros in the http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e67/ndistops/Dumpster.jpg

    Is there any question we'll see a double with Palmeiro scoring by about 2 inches?

    For once this man is right on the money. We need K's.

    OT: How do you get the MLB media player to open on Vista? Everything else about when I open it is fine, just the media player doesn't actually open.

    Ahh....Lou sends Hill out to force the RH pinch-hitter. Savvy.

    No way. Rich coming back in. This is a terrible idea.

    Cliff can start every game the rest of the year if he keeps getting 7 total bases a game.

    How the hell are we only 1 game out of first?
  19. Andy
    no one? i don't think it was a 1-A mandate. i still thought it was a conference by conference decision I don't remember seeing a single team not playing 12 since that decision was made. Would you pass up another opportunity to make money?
  20. Andy
    No one plays 11 games. Some play 13 but no one plays 11, not since 2006 began anyway.

    Fortunately the playoff teams aren't decided by who "deserves" a playoff spot. Yeah, they're decided by wins and this team sucks at that too
  22. Andy
    That's pretty much the story of the season. Nothing else even needs to be said.

    This is bad. Real bad.

    to remove the inequities of scheduling among other things geography no ties, as conference championship games determine the playoff teams I could be wrong about what you're proposing. Are you saying that each conference champion then enters a post-season tourney to determine the NC? If so, I don't understand how that eliminates scheduling inequity? Individual conferences will still be better than others. Which means many times the best teams (say, the second best team in the SEC) will be eliminated from post-season contention because it had a much harder schedule. College basketball works fine with unbalanced conferences, etc. A system that mirrors college hoops would be much better, IMO, then realigning every college team in the country, and it would also spare us from the confusion that arises during other sports' seasons. i mean in terms of # of games played, when games are played, etc. right now it's ridiculous Why? How? I don't understand what's ridiculous about those aspects of the current system. The only thing ridiculous is that the Michigans of the world can put 8 home games in a year on their schedule as opposed to the Ball States that play 4 or 5. I don't see what the big deal is about everything else.
