    It's not even really that popular outside of Ames. oh bull [expletive]. i love when hawkeye fans act like they're above the iowa/isu game. I've been to Kinnick many times, and I have to say that ISU games aren't nearly as intense as most big ten matchups. It doesn't stick out to me as a huge rivarly game, at least for gameday. I'm not sure about the rest of the week or how the bragging rights work and whatnot.

    Is a post on BCB more credible than a post on Cubs.com? If they don't let the team haze the rookies, you might as well close up shop and go home. What's the point of playing after that? I like the idea of Ramirez refusing to practice. These guys play every day, and travel when they aren't playing. They take BP before games and throw the ball around a little. What sort of practice is Ramirez refusing to partake in?

    They had the reporter on the radio this morning, and he didn't catch on until after the fact. He had no idea. Who is Buck? He apologizes to "Buck" around the 4:24 mark, but I have no clue who that is. I would guess it was about his reaction to the "no cab tonight" line, which looked to come from somebody holding a 670 WSCR microphone. Not sure who that could be.

    You're going to have to go into more detail about why they wouldn't go then, because we're 30 pages in to debating that viability, and "they won't go" isn't going to be sufficient for a lot of people following the situation. Because Texas is just going to follow where its big money rivals go. Exactly. I'm glad someone around here finally sees the light, even if he's just being a sarcastic jackass. Football money isn't the only reason, but it's a huge moneymaker for the schools, and therefore must be a huge consideration. Texas is a very good academic and athletic school and would be a huge get for any conference. If they feel that aligning themselves with Ohio State, Wisconsin, Michigan, etc over USC, UCLA, Cal, etc is best for them, they'll do it. They're ultimately sitting pretty right now and shouldn't be in any rush to make a decision. Both conferences would bend over backwards to accommodate Texas, and whichever one gives them more is where they'll go, I think. If national exposure is what they're looking for, I think Texas/UCLA, Texas/USC, would be bigger draws for them than Texas/Michigan, Texas/Ohio State (although those two schools would also give them exposure, I just don't think it would be as much). However, I think either conference would be a good fit. Is that better? I would like to make a formal complaint to the mods for erik calling me a jackass.

    He could have been trying to bunt for a hit? As long as the runner moves over it still counts as a sac bunt. He could have missed a sign? Or maybe he's heard his manager talk about the value of sac bunts so much that he got it into his head that it would be a good idea.

    picking 10th right now

    Texas is going to make that decision. They aren't going to be followers.

    It's good to see Soto in to give Hill a breather.

    As a general rule, most of them are that type of manager. Their job isn't worth near as much as their paychecks, and the media will criticize doing nothing much more than they will criticize trying to make things happen. They feel the need to make an imprint on the game. The key is having the best players so you can win despite a manager trying to screw things up.

    http://www.chicagobreakingnews.com/2010/06/blackhawks-revelers-arrest-total-19.html and now for the important stats
  12. jersey cubs fan
    Part of me thinks the Big Ten knows a playoff is inevitable, and this expansion is a way of guaranteeing two seats at that table.

    I've been wondering about how ugly it would be if they just grabbed Nebraska. What a complete dud. Not as bad as just grabbing Missouri, but not the least bit impressive.

    I find it funny how willing so many are to blame Leighton, considering he had about the 2nd best save percentage and goals against average in the playoffs, and it could be argued quite easily that he outplayed Niemi. The difference was Chicago is better. They have more goal scorers and can stand toe to toe defensively. Without that amazing team in front of him, Niemi's effort, especially in the finals, would have looked disappointing. He was only considered a Conn Smythe candidate because he was the winning goalie.

    In my mind I remember a gasp in the crowd when Kane does his little shake and bake in the corner. Watching highlights it sounds like they let out a groan when Campbell kept it in, then the excitement/anxiety built up quickly when Kane got it and then started toward the net. From being in the house for Game 3, I can only assume there were a bunch of shrill voiced women yelling, "HIT HIM" and some surly men berating their team's inability to clear/reacquire the puck. At first I thought Boynton was trying to stop Kane from going down the ice because he didn't know what was up, but now it looks like he was one of the guys who knew, and given his position, he probably should have seen it.

    They were booing Bettman, but they were also booing Toews and a couple other things (like Buff holding the cup). Bettman tried to raise the mood by congratulating the Flyers on their season, and that took about 2 seconds to actually get them cheering and only lasted about 5-6 seconds.

    I think the important take away is that it was foolish to rely so much on a hitting coach to make things better, and the whole "best in the business" nonsense is just hype and talk. It's not his fault, but he shouldn't have been considered a major acquisition either.

    what an odd post

    This is where we are going to disagree. I don't think one party is going to convince the other party otherwise so... agree to disagree? This, I do not understand. It's not like he's been an accountant working in Wyoming. He's been managing Chicago Cubs farm teams, interviewed several times, and his message has been very clear, and very consistent. I for one don't really care as much as others about Ryno's future, as all my concerns are about the players, or more specifically the man charged with acquiring those players. Because Hendry has been terrible.

    But Dusty Baker never cared about a guy's stats before he got a chance to coach him, he had to see it with his own eyes.

    There was somebody in the locker room shots that I assumed was the infamous cousin.

    Why must people throw beer, why, why? Why not? The Hawks just won a championship! The players douse each other with booze why not the fans? The players pour champagne over each others heads. A-holes in bars just throw a beer across the room. It's an excuse to be a dick and get away with something you would normally not get away with. But more importantly, it's a waste of beer.
  23. jersey cubs fan
    If they go to 16 they should do that relegation thing, where the 10th place team every year gets bumped into the bottom 6, who then play for a shot at joining the big boys the next year.
  24. jersey cubs fan
    Maryland? The Big Ten has enough bad accents already, why that douchebag school?
