  1. i'm about to start jerking off please don't screw this up
  2. where the hell was this defense in dallas?
  3. if we win this game, you can bet everything you own on OSU next week.
  4. please just dont get blown out
  5. so far so good, he gives us a little more flexibility when we need a more height in the middle. a lot of times we go AJ/Warren/Crocker and then have blake and taylor in the middle, and if taylor is more than 6'6'', i'd be surprised.
  6. Griffin is putting up video game numbers. After his 35/21 today he's up to 26.0 PPG and 19.75 RPG. 5 assists too, and he hit another 3pointer yet the team almost lost No one on the team shot well, except Griffin (14-20) and he basically willed OU to a win all by himself. Hell, Crocker was 1-for-11 and Warren was (i think) 5-15 while Gardner Webb sat in a zone the entire game. Griffin did all his damage with 3 guys draped on him because they knew we weren't going to hit a shot.
  7. weis has just, what, 6 years and 24 million left on his deal? if every a school deserved to be miserable, it's ND
  8. Because you watch and can evaluate this at all. what kind of in depth statistical analysis needs to be done to tell you that ND's announcers desperately want ND to win every game?
  9. lol, only andy would think that ND's announcers were rooting against them

  11. You all know who you are. i i was looking at old threads on desipio the other day for some reason and there was a really good one where people were like "WE ROSTERED THAT WORTHLESS IDIOT GEOVANY SOTO AND LET ANDY SISCO GO???!?!??!?" That was a bad move. Sisco's perceived value at the time was extremely high. If they weren't going to roster him, they should have traded him before the R5 draft came around. They could have built a heck of a package for a really good player around him. At the time, Soto wasn't MLB ready, and wouldn't have stuck with anyone. No one else in the league had high perceptions of him either at the time. Obviously, in the long term, Soto was the right keeper choice, but that move shouldn't be evaluated as if Hendry only had two options at the time: keep Soto and let Sisco go for nothing, or keep Sisco and let Soto go for nothing. He could have gotten value back on Sisco and kept Soto, or he could have kept both. I think the perceive value of a player, causes fans to overrate these guys. Personally I was upset when they let Sisco go for nothing. But I don't think Hendry is an idiot or most Gm's are in this situation. We as fans think we know how valueable these players are, but the GM's know how valueable these guys are. I'm sure months before Hendry even allowed Sisco to be in the rule 5 draft, he tried to trade him for something worth wide. I think he's in a simliar situation with Donald Veal this offseason. Too me it would seem like Veal would have some value still, since he was a high thought of prospect just a few years ago and still has good stuff. But I'm sure by now Hendry has shopped Veal name around alot, and knows he probably can't get anything of good value in return for him. So it's then up to a GM to decide, do I keep this guy on the roster. Even though he is probably less likely to make it to the majors then others, even though he has more upside? Do I just trade him for whatever I can get for him? Or do I take my chances he either won't get drafted or won't stick on a major league roster next year, and I have him back? In the Soto/Sisco(I know those weren't the only options) situation it worked out good. Just imagine if we let Soto go in the Rule 5, and some team decided to keep him as a cheap back up catcher for a year. Soto being ROY on another team, and the Cubs not making the playoffs this year(Soto not on the team would have made it alot tougher), could have caused Hendry to lose his job. Thats why sometimes with trade and other things us fans should sometimes just wait and see, before we start to chew out the GM. is this redflash in disguise?
  12. "it's my thing, man"
  13. was florida favored against citadel guys anyway, i love joe paterno and hope he coaches forever ALSO: holly rowe is really uggo, particularly today
  14. You all know who you are. i i was looking at old threads on desipio the other day for some reason and there was a really good one where people were like "WE ROSTERED THAT WORTHLESS IDIOT GEOVANY SOTO AND LET ANDY SISCO GO???!?!??!?" We shouldn't really be laughing at anybody, people on here thought Matt Murton was good. Choi was destined for greatness. Bobby Hill for Aramis Rameriz WTF?? Signing Mark DeRosa for 3/14MM is Hendry crazy? Lilly at 4/$44MM what a waste of money, we should have signed Schmidt instead. Cubs should push hard to sign Fukudome........ oh, im not making fun of them. i'd imagine about 99 percent of cubs fans had the same reaction. "who is this fat catching idiot that can't hit???"
  15. oh yeah they did I wasn't here, but that's just so hard to believe. Really? a vocal minority I think my reaction when I realized bobby hill was included was "this makes me like the deal a whole lot less."
  16. and it's not particularly close i mean, how many of our players would be starters on half the other teams in the NBA. let's see, durant.... uhhhh CHRIS WILCOX Oh I know, teams will be clamoring for guys like earl watson and nick collison at the deadline

  19. a lot of people, myself included, said that last offseason and if we had actually swapped the two, the anger around here throughout the season would have been incredible
  20. take pmr with a grain of salt please it's meph's boycrushes that we should be focusing on here
  21. i would kill my mother for the right to pay 7 million dollars for a no-hit, no-field SS
  22. redivycub! is Japanese?
