  1. i have no idea how we scored the last TD. kstate had the ball, i went to get my running shoes for a halftime jog and i get back and we're in the end zone. i was literally out of the room for maybe 1:30
  2. Heh, he's probably a first rounder this April. i bet he slips to the second, but i'm always a little pessimistic about our pro prospects. he really doesn't have good hands. at least this year. that was the knock on him as a recruit (that and that he didn't block well). Last year he looked great on both accounts (might have just been better than i expected) but this year he seems to have regressed. maybe he caught the "i'm gonna be a pro, anyway-lazy bug" from malcolm kelly.
  3. jermaine "drive killer" gresham finally holds on to a 3rd down conversion. EDIT: I love our zone read play. bradford has never kept the ball in any of the 80 times we've run it this year. TD gresham. i forgive you big man.
  4. on 8th view, maybe i'm an idiot and we will get the ball. the only time we can stop a decent offense is when we force a dumb turnover or they just drop easy passes. See: this drive
  5. if kstate doesn't challenge that fumble, they are [expletive]
  6. i really think that this no huddle offense kills our defense. we either score in 5 plays or go three and out. plus, our defense isnt that good to begin with. we also always have trouble with big, mobile qbs because our coverage breaks down too quick. FUN FACT: ksu and ou are both averaging over 10 yards PER PLAY
  7. look what you've done our defense is miserable. ironic if it was kstate that cost venables his job
  8. oh my god we have the worst special teams in the nation
  9. tell me about it
  10. i hope they all die in a plane crash. i didn't even think of this angle. beautiful. I hope youre on the plane too. What a horrible post. i used to love those ucla vs. arizona games. so much good guard play
  11. why? It seemed like important news and was starting to get buried on this page. It'll be de-sticky'd after this news has run its course. If it was important it wouldn't have been buried. There really isn't anything to say on the matter. I think you let it die a natural death. he hadn't pushed one of the mod buttons in a while and wanted to remind people
  12. I think you may be overstating Wood's (or any player's) affect off the baseball field on the team's performance. What teams did you play for in the majors? "Wade" = Wade Boggs. Or it could be Wade Miller, so the answer could very well be "Not many" actually, it would be "too many"
  13. oh well, kansas blows
  14. i'm trying to think of where to go from here

  17. tyrone willingham isn't/wasn't a good coach, but he deserves better than the hindsight, jilted-lover bs those losers at ND gave him after he was gone.
  18. it would be the feel good story of college football season if uw destroyed notre dame
  19. espn classic is playing the arizona/ku game from 95 (i think) my best back then was from flagstaff so i sort of picked up UofA love from him. Miles Simon, Mike Bibby, Mike Dickerson, they had it all. I forgot how much I loved that team.
  20. VOICE OF EXPERIENCE
  21. come on come onnnnnnnnnnnnnnn
  22. Unfortunately, that's what seals it for me with regards to Dawson. If you're tied to 'OPS+' as your underlying stat, then yes, it will probably seal the deal... However, 300+ stolen bases, 8 GG, and 157 career OF assists have NOTHING to do with his OPS+.... Dawson played the first half of his career BEFORE most of those other guys you compare him to (ARod, Bonds, Griffey, etc) even broke into the majors, and also BEFORE the 'Year of the Lively Ball' in 1987 when the offensive boom began... This is coincidentally the same year that Dawson won the MVP on a last place team and won the HR crown... Nobody takes note that he also finished SECOND in MVP voting twice BEFORE that. Dawson did have a defined 'peak' from 1979-1983 before injuries hampered him for 3 seasons before moving to the North Side. Too bad nobody cites stats from THAT era because, well, nobody was putting up big numbers. Since Dawson played so long into the 'Offensive Era', people like to compare him to players in that era, when in fact, by the time Griffey and ARod came along, and guys were hitting 40 and 50 with regularity, Dawson was in his late 30's and hobbled with bad knees... Of course Dawson and Rice are favorable in numbers, they played MORE in the same era. You cannot name too many BETTER OFers from 1976-1987 than Dawson, Rice, Raines, Murphy, etc... You would have to look at guys like Guerrero, Winfield, Parker, Henderson and the guys that Dawson played with in HIS prime... ops+ is just a lazy way to measure how much better he was than his era. the answer is "not much"
  23. Dude, he's clutch. In the FSL playoffs he went: 6 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 4 BB, 11 K. Shoulda started him over Dempster in game one. did he really? i had given up by then. is the plan still to see if he can hack the rotation?
  24. I could see that, but I see him averaging more points per game then Christie did in his career (11 ppg). Other then that yeah Thabo should fit into that Bowen/Christie/Posey type player, but only if VDN gives his plenty of run while Hughes is out. Christie could have scored more was he not on a team with a lot of good scorers for the bulk of his prime in Sactown. 20 were going to Weber, 20 to Peja, 18 to Bibby, 15 to Miller, and with Turk of the bench there wasn't a need for him to score a lot. wasn't christie the king of the corner jumper? not that that means anything, just something stupid that i remember
  25. jamie moyer is a title-craving stud
