    The question isnt "how much will mizzou win by?" its "how will pinkel screw this up?"

    A lot of people were calling Oklahoma the best college team ever. A lot of people said it would be the best college game ever. A lot of people said it would come down to the wire. I hear the same stuff this year. How easily people forget... I really do think USC will KILL them. They have an ability to just shut teams down when they need to, and seem able to score at will. They have trailed a lot this year, and have given up a lot of points and yards, but those were all in the first half. It was almost like USC had to make it fun for themselves. When they wanted to they clamped down, and begin picking teams apart. I must admit that I have not seen Texas play more than 1 game this year (the Colorado game, 2nd one) and I have seen USC a few times. Perhaps I am grossly underestimating Texas, but I just don't see them as being able to hang with USC, at all. They will be outcoached and outplayed IMO. People were calling the 2003 OU team one of the best ever. Until the Big12 Championship game debacle. Anyway, I really thought that our run defense would allow us to stop USC last year. I was a little off.

    Nascar

    imb replied to B's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk

    i meant to say yes, but i dont remember what i clicked on. I really dont understand how people dont consider it a sport. It takes a measure of skill, ability, training and its a competition, sounds like a sport to me. Oh, i hate nascar btw.

    The Downtown Athletic Club has just announced that Brady Quinn has been awarded the 2006 Heisman Trophy. *pumps fists* Gets rid of a Heisman AND a national title contender. Pfft, it's a battle for second place after Chase Daniel. Mo Drew disagrees. So does AD.

    I dont think it will be as bad as last years game, but I dont think it will be close either. It all depends on whether or not Texas can take advantage of USC up the middle. IMB you may know this, was the line on last years game USC -3? I think it was, but can't remember for sure. You know, I cant remember, but that does sound about right.

    I dont remember seeing the cutter. I think, one thing that happened is, he was just being used so sporadically that he went with what was most comfortable to him, which was that big hook and the fastball.

    i wont speak for the other conferences, but the big12 was weak sauce this year. It was 1.)Texas 2.)No one 3.)Everyone else

    here's my favorite quote from the book, maybe my favorite quote ever. "Basically, everything you know about baseball when you are fourteen years old, you know from baseball announcers. Here was this guy [bill James] who was telling me that at least eighty percent of what baseball announcers told me was complete bull****, and then explained very convincingly why it was." - Voros McCracken.

    I think the 40 page Bobby Howry thread was out of control. There have been hundreds (guess) of pages on Dunn with no basis for fact. How is this any different? In any case, none of it has any bearing on what actually happens, so what difference does it make? I apologize if that's not what you are getting at nolan, but I'm getting a little tired of hearing people say "Don't propose Dunn trades, it will never happen." So what? Who cares? This is an interesting philosophical discussion so whether it could happen or not is pretty irrelevant. I just think these threads are an excuse for members to argue with each other for absolutely no reason cause he won't be a cub. If you want to argue, argue about REAL POTENTIAL MOVES, OR MOVES WEVE ALREADY MADE. yeah dudes, be sure and ask this guy before you think about posting anything.

    No, he apparently wants a trade. Then we argued about Tejada. actually, about walker

    God, people flip out about the stupidest stuff. No, Todd Walker is not anywhere near as valuable a player as Tejada, but offensively, they are just about historically equal. You can ignore the facts with whatever cliche "he just produces!" or "he's so clutch!" sayings you want, but the facts are Walker is offensively, just about equal to Tejada. Now, if you want to say that Walker doesnt stay healthy, or that Tejada plays a much more valuable position, that's true. Of course, no one that pointed out the Walker/Tejada thing was saying that.

    Cox just really, really wanted a veteran shortstop. I think we all just need to realize that managers are just more comfortable with veterans when possible. Even Cox, who played enough rookies last season to fill a school bus, would rather have veterans when possible.

    i can see it now "hey, is that....is that jim edmonds? maybe it is!" cut to jim edmonds "maybe it is? maybe its maybeline!"
