Any Maryland fans on here? Looks like Turge got his first recruit there, Shaq Cleare. Good pickup, IMO.

Sick grandma excuse. Now Baylor coach Art Briles had a relationship with Willie Lyles when Briles was at the University of Houston (nudge nudge wink wink).

Bears preseason week 2; Monday August 22nd at the Giants

Yeah we should probably target a legit WR in the offseason. It's too bad we didn't have the cap space to sign anyone good this year because there were quite a few good WRs out there. But, but, but Roy Williams was a Pro Bowler under Martz in Detroit and his college coach is on the Bears staff. That means he will lead the league in receiving, right? -
The rumblings I'm hearing is that A&M to the SEC will go down on Wednesday. We'll see if I had good info in the next 48 hours.

It could well be that I've just never paid that close of attention (I know I haven't this year...least baseball I've ever watched), but I'm not sure I've seen guys eating/spitting seeds while playing the field before. In the dugout, sure. But that was just a weird sight. It's not uncommon at all. Hell, I used to do it in HS. Just throw a handful of seeds in my cheek right before taking the field. It's really no different that chewing tobacco or gum. Now if you're digging into your back pocket for more while the pitcher is in the windup, then there is an issue.

ARAMABOMB!

Looks like the Georgetown player on the far left might have hit his own teammate in the cheek.

Grace is an awful broadcaster. The play by play guy isn't much better.

But why was he told on 7/22 and allowed to work until now?

It is a different time and place from when WGN helped them draw in a nationwide audience. Exposure in a starved market is how they capitalized on that issue. But that era is over. Keeping them on WGN isn't just a hit to the short-term bottom line, it's bad for long-term business. The nationwide presence is there. And it's not going anywhere, unless they just lose every season. Would anybody actually watch WGN if it weren't for the Cubs? Bulls. And for the godforsaken of the world, Blackhawks. Those aren't on the superstation though, right ? Just local WGN Channel 9? Some of the Bulls games are on WGN America, as they call it. None of the Hawks games are. About the only other time I turn on WGN is to catch some Cheers or Entourage (yeah, yeah, I know you think it sucks) re-runs. -

:lol: Maybe someone needs to add the yakety sax to the Bears OL "highlights". -
http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/football/bears/chi-hester-quiet-about-allegations-of-benefits-from-booster-20110817,0,83694.story Devin Hester claims he doesn't know Nevin Shapiro. Um, what about the picture of the two of you together and the multiple autographed photos you personalized to him?

Kurkjian was the best. Pedro Gomez was good, too. :lol:

Marmol's fastball didn't get over 92 that I saw. That's not normal, right?

CUBS WIN! Woody with the save.

A day before the House of Rep committee meeting that has no powers? This House committee meeting has been cancelled. Word is that the head of the committee decided the political pressure he was getting wasn't worth it. Our BOR meeting is still happening. Once that is over we will be able (at some point in the near future) to notify the Big 12 that we are leaving and then ask the SEC for membership. At that point, an official vote will be taken to add us.

I don't think today's announcement really means anything. It seems more like a "we're interested and aTm's interested, now everyone needs to get their legal ducks in a row to make this actually happen." Somebody gets it. If this is going to happen, the SEC needs to find another team to join the league along with Texas A&M. Florida State certainly would have fit that bill, but the Seminoles have no real motivation to make the move. If there is still no deal by October 1, then that Arkansas-Texas A&M matchup becomes a little more heated I think. The SEC will go with 13 teams in 2012 if necessary. By the way, that MS Paint post is nails. Very funny.

The AD and president aren't going to come out in the press and say "If the LHN show HS games we are leaving for the SEC." But that's what is going to happen. I'd be willing to bet on that. I'm sure they would, but they aren't the drivers of that decision. That's my point. The SEC isn't going to just say "oh, aTm's pissed off, let's let them in" and be a 13 team conference, or "oh, aTm's pissed off, we should let them in and then find another team or 3 so the divisions are equal". Care to rethink this?

It was my understanding that he cleaned out his locker and left before the game was over. Is that incorrect?

So long, Z. Please retire so we can spend that money on a sane player.
