    i'm sure it's nice, but i'm just as sure that it's not a top 3 golf course in florida....for $79 a round it may be top 3 in it's price range, but not overall. btw, what did you shoot? Well I guess the guy we were playing with lied then, but It was a steal with only paying $79 to play. I shot 93 I think...I'm not a good golfer, but I love playing...See I had to learn to hit righty cause I used handy-me-downs when I was younger instead of hitting lefty which I'm naturally left handed hitting...and I've just never gotten much better than I am right now because of that. Phil Mickelson says hang in there! He's actually a righty that plays golf left handed. I wish I had just learned to play left handed....I would have been such a better golfer

    Hmm they rank Purdue as finishing 23-8 and only losing two more...at Mich St. and at U of I That is because there's a statistical difference between the odds of losing each individual game, and the overall odds of finish over the course of the season. No I understand I just thought it was surprising only two losses...Not a loss to OSU or Wisconsin on the road? Well, the odds of winning each individual game is just above 50%, but the odds of winning both games is less than that. According to Pomeroy's overall statistics, there are pretty good odds Purdue is going to lose at least 2 other games on their schedule. However, chances are pretty good they'll be favored in the OSU and Wisconsin contests. OK

    $80 for 18holes? Man...I play the cheap courses...$24 /w cart, $17 without. That's affordable. If I had to play $80 for 18, I'd only play once or twice a year. Yeah I do to in the Chicagoland area, but I was in Florida and it's supposed to be one of the best courses in Florida so $80 was a steal

    What's the word if they are going to have enough room? They were just talking about it a few days ago in the Trib?

    Just played at University Park in Florida http://www.universitypark-fl.com/Club/Scripts/Home/home.asp It was amazing and affordable. Only cost $79.00 for 18 holes and it's rated in the top 3 courses in Florida

    Great hire, I'm extremely pleased with Capers. McCarthy said they're going to go to a full-blown 3-4 in his press conference today. I'm even more excited to see that. It's been a great offseason so far for us. I'm hopeful that we can sign an outside LB like Bart Scott in free agency. Thompson has hinted that he could pull out the wallet this offseason to bring in a free agent. Is Kampman an OLB or an end? I don't know much about Capers or the 3-4, but I'm at least excited to see something new. Kampman will become an OLB in Green Bay's 3-4. I have always thought that the 3-4 was the best defense created so I'm thrilled to see Dom Capers installing it in Green Bay. That could be scary for us Kampman is huge and he is fast I can't imagine him running at our line at full speed

    Simmons is a pretty decent player and could fit in nicely until Deng actually gets good again

    So I only saw the highlights on Sportscenter, but what happened on that play where Bibby stole the ball from Gordon and Gordon feel on the ground? Was that a foul?

    Impressive win for U of I....hopefully Purdue can do the same tomorrow

    When you're saying "yuck" to a 5-5-1 stretch that's a pretty good sign.... especially with a young team. We all knew they'd go through rough patches. If this ends up being the worst of it that would be really really good Winning less than half your games is never a good thing. I think it's important that they avoid as much of this type of thing as possible, because in today's NHL, it takes a lot of points to be a top 5 seed. And if this team is seeded 7 or 8, I doubt they stand a chance of winning more than 1 or 2 playoff games. i never said it was a good thing. i said when 5-5-1 is your worst stretch of the season, THAT is a good thing Yeah obviously not a good thing, but if you look at 5-5-1 that's not that bad of a stretch

    I didn't start hoping they'd lose, but I don't watch there games anymore. It's pathetic to watch But do you watch home games anymore? If someone is watching it I'll watch it, but I don't go out of my way to turn it on

    Probably Warner and Brady. Brady has 3 rings, which all but guarantees his enshrinement. His totals are still a bit off, but he should have multiple good years ahead of him. Warner has fewer postseason numbers, and only 1 ring (and 1 loss to Brady in the SB). Both numbers are not as great as you would hope as a hall of famer, but I think both make it in especially if Warner wins this year

    Dang it. I was hoping for some kind words so I don't have to face the facts that Purdue didn't just shoot themselves in the foot the first two games they took a bazooka to it. I will say though if we finish with a similar record to last year we will have a higher seed than in 2007-08. We have a slightly stronger schedule this year and not having the bad losses tends to help a lot in the selection process. Hey we still could win a few of those games and finish 25-6 or something with 1-1 in the Big Ten Tourney. I'm thinking will get a 4-6seed though
  19. rchap24
    Wait what? The only good thing Alexander can do is dunk and he doesn't get to show off those abilities?
  20. rchap24
    Or Aldridge which we had and traded for Tyrus Did you just not read what you quoted or something? Sorry misread that, but to be perfectly honest I will guarantee you Thomas will never get up to Alridge's level.

    That hit last night McGahee was not a helmet hit. Though the Steeler's give out a lot of cheap hits that was a hard hit that looked like it could have been helmet to helmet, but Clark led with his shoulder If he led with his shoulder how come his head made the first contact because McGahee lowered his head at the last second. McGahee's helmet hit the side of the Steeler player's helmet. I don't think it was intended to be a dirty hit McGahee lowered his helmet Clark put his shoulder down to hit him and then McGahee made contact with the side of his helmet which was no his intention.

    I think he will work for this season, but that doesn't mean in a year or two that if we trade him I'll be upset

    The Senators goalie absolutely unloaded on the Sabres goalie

    Yeah, it's a lot more based on the efficiency of teams, instead of what they've accomplished (W-L), which is a lot more like how the committee actually seeds teams (although, it's amazing how often Pomeroy's ratings actually gets teams right, and calls "upsets" appropriately). I might do one later on Sagarin's ELO ratings, which are much more representative of what a team has accomplished to this point, and not at all representative of how well a team is actually playing, to see which looks more reasonable. I'll take Davidson in the first round considering what happened the first go around. Oh I please give us Davidson
