  1. +1million Anonymity goes a long way to making someone a jerk jamie, your name isn't on that post, you must have forgotten to sign it jamie roastthedamngoat smith he goes by his middle name, hater
  2. Mercker should get consideration as a starter, too. Can a pitcher be eligible for two spots on the roster?
  3. ap reports god not allowing slain NIU students into heaven due to noncompliance by the cubs with his strict "wear a patch policy"

    Too bad Utah and GS can't play 82 times a year.
  9. fanTASTIC you could believe that having your players run on their hands to first base would make them slower, and if you told them that before hand, it is a faulty study.
  10. I just wet my pants AND JERRELES MISSES WHAT A COMEBACK first the godbold 30-footer and now crocker nails a 4-pointer. YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss wow, unreal. i wish that was on here, it was intense just following it on gamecast. Jesus christ, now that I've composed myself somewhat. OU goes up 10 at the half and blows it to start the second. Then we rebuild the lead up to 8, and blow it, again. Then we go down by 7 to start the OT. AJ hits a deep one to cut it close and then Crocker drills a stop-and-pop three and draws a (pretty bogus looking) foul. Then Jerrells drives and draws a (pretty bogus looking) foul on Godbold, and somehow misses both FTs. Baylor actually had a chance, but the tip was off. I really can't believe we won that game.

  12. You're going to have to accept the fact that your "test" wasn't scientific in any way and proved absolutely nothing.
  13. The KU pipeline to CA doesn't exist like it did in the Pierce days, but it doesn't need to. Roy wouldn't recruit east of Chicago. He claimed there were "too many good programs to fly over" to get to KU, so he built that pipe. The real reason was he probably didn't want to compete with his beloved Dean/UNC. Self will go anywhere for players. I think with the right coach, OU, OSU, and Mizzou could be long-term quality programs. They were certainly good back in the Stewart/Billy Tubbs years. Sounds like the OU/Baylor game got chippy. It's been physical the whole time, and Blake caught an intentional elbow when he basically sat on a kid during a loose-ball scramble. I like to think that OU and OSU (though not lately, at all) are longterm quality programs. But there's a difference between consistently being a top-25 team and being a national title contender, and it's hard to do that when you basically only recruit the Oklahoma kids that don't bounce to bigger programs (JR Giddens, Shelden Williams, Kelenna Azuibuke, Xavier Henry) and the Texas leftovers. Though, before Sampson bounced, Damion James and Scottie Reynolds were both OU commits. Can you imagine a team with Reynolds, Crocker/Godbold, James, Blake and Longar? That's a top 5 team. That team would've been sick. Maybe I'm just looking too closely at this year where OSU and OU aren't up to their usual snuff. Those teams have to be good for the Big XII to be good, because Nebraska, ISU, and CU are pretty much dead weight. (Though I do have some hopes for Sadler and Bdzelik). I'm very worried about the Sean Sutton thing, though. I think he could run that program into the ground if he's around too long. And, God, do I want Xavier Henry. I've seen Henry play, he'll probably be unstoppable in college. He plays against such a high level of talent during AAU ball that it's going to be easier for him once he gets into college. PS just like I said, OU is about to blow this game. We need at least 2 wins in the tourney (or a road win at Texas) to make the NCAAs now.

  15. Why in the world are they doing a position by position comparison of teams in different leagues? I'm eagerly awaiting the Cubs/Nominori Giants comparison.
  16. KU and Texas will always be at the top. Outside of that, I don't think the league ever gets beyond where it is now, where everyone else is just decent outside of small stretch every once in awhile. Like the Hollis Price Sooners or Kareem Rush Missouri Tigers. Kansas and Texas just have huge built in recruiting advantages. KU with its California pipeline (to be honest, I'm not real sure if it exists like it used to) and Texas by playing in a state the size of a medium-sized country.
  17. I feel like this is a play-in for these two teams. Whoever loses is probably out of the tourney barring something crazy. The winner would still have work to do, but they'd have a shot. If OU blows thiss tonight (a distinct possibility), a good big 12 tourney gets them in. But tonight simplifies things greatly.
  18. you're seriously teaching kids to slide into first base feet first instead of running straight through? I can understand thinking that maybe a headfirst dive gets you there quicker, but feet first? Between wrigley23 and this guy, im starting to think that nsbb is just getting trolled all over.
  19. should trade him to SD so he can be Prior's personal catcher.
  20. SAS wiki
  21. guys, it's on page2. if it was a legit power rankings list, why would it be on page2? Use your heads.
  22. OU up early at home against Baylor tonight. A win makes us 18-8 with five regular season games to go. I'm thinking we win tonight, go 3-2 down the stretch, win one in the Big12 tourney and go into the NCAAs as an 8 seed.
  23. And you required them all to slide into first? What was this for? how hard is it to read the first post in the thread?
