What's sad is that Utah cannot compete for the national championship. C'mon AP Poll! Make me proud!

Blame the season on the Falcons squib kick.

I'm hoping the market will level itself out and the more expensive tickets will go for less. I just can't see 30k people paying over $200 to see this in this economy.

Finally got through but they gave me $225 obstructed view seats. LOL, do the Hawks really think people are willing to pay that much for obstructed views? Grrr ... now it looks like the $75 seats are gone. Anybody got any extras?

I wonder if the Cubs have any knucklers in their system.

As someone still desperately looking for tickets, why do you say that? Yes half of the "resale market" is people looking to make a quick buck, but the other half are fans and such who would not otherwise have this opportunity. Btw, did you read somewhere about proof of residency? No, it's just something I hope. The Cubs/Hawks didn't have to do this, and it's just something they're doing for the residents of Wrigleyville, not specifically Cubs fans. And it's all for charity, so make a quick buck on something like this when the proceeds are going to charity just seems wrong. The only exception I would give is if a seller donates everything he makes to charity, but that's highly unlikely. Would you also require persons to decline any winnings from a charity raffle? I've never understood why people care so much about what others do with Wrigley tickets. The Cubs sell you the $10 ticket expecting you to skate. A charity sells you a raffle ticket expecting you to keep the winnings should you win. That's the difference. I normally don't care since we live in a free market society. I have absolutely no problem with people buying Cubs game tickets and then selling for over face value since the Cubs are profiting from the sale of the tickets as well, and it's their own fault for selling below market value, but there are certain things that I believe crosses the line morally.

I hate my life right now.

As a Packers fan, I don't know which is more entertaining: this game, or the game thread infighting.

Yeah Matt Flynn!!!

How much are tickets going for? On eBay it's around $200 a pop.

If skaters have to provide proof of residency, then that pretty much puts an end to the resale market. God, I hope that's true.

sometimes yes. but not for the World Cup, Copa America, ect. Exactly ... WBC = World Cup.

I want Peavy just so I can say that Harden is the no. 4 starter on this team.

Does Barcelona complain when Ronaldinho plays for Brazil?

Answer to both questions is, not gonna happen. He was always quality with the Cubs, but without a doubt his greatest years (to include WS ring) were with Atlanta. Easily belongs in the discussion of best all time. What an amazing career. He'll go in as a Brave, but I think he thinks of himself as more a Cub. If he takes a coaching job, I'll bet it's with the Cubs, not the Braves.

It still amazes me that a team can go undefeated, be as good as it can possibly be, and still not even contend for a national championship.

Apparently Texas Tech scored 167 points tonight. I guess offense doesn't just run in football for that school.

Because the Big East was built to be a basketball powerhouse. After they lost Va Tech, Miami, and Boston College, every team they added (save South Florida) had a strong basketball program.

The knock on Duke the past few years has been that they aren't athletic. However, they play solid on defense and know how to create shots on offense. Combine with that with an uncanny ability to draw fouls and they don't need to be real athletic. they aren't athletic for a duke team, but they're plenty athletic as far as the res of the country goes.

Portland is probably the longest team in the league. Oden, Aldridge, Frye ... wow.

Not sure, but I think this win clinched the MAC conference championship for Ball State. So it's a little bit of a big deal. They haven't clinched yet. They still need to beat Western Michigan next week to win the MAC West outright. If they lose and Central Michigan wins their game next week Ball State, Central Michigan, and Western Michigan will all be tied with one conference loss. And since they's all be 1-1 against each other I'm not sure how the tie would be broken. Here you go: http://www.mac-sports.com/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=9400&KEY=&ATCLID=1148024 Looks like it'll be Central Michigan in the title game. You go all the way to the 4th tiebreaker to determine that.

Crazy ending, exciting game.

I don't need to see a man's pubes when I'm browsing this site. That is all.
