  1. yeah, at that point iowa had about as much momentum as you could have in a football game, 59 seconds, a confident qb and an osu defense that was probably reeling. i'm not saying you throw five yard outs that can turn into pick 6's, but you can, at the very least, take a deep shot with djk or mcnutt. if you don't trusty vandenburg in that spot i don't know why you'd trust him in OT. they were ~40 yards away from winning in columbus and playing in the rose bowl and they just let that opportunity tick away.
  2. i think missouri handles isu fairly easily. hope 6-6 is good enough for a bowl.
  3. lsu losing to la tech. the sec blows.
  4. isu is going to blow it.
  5. vs. notre dame in the little caeser's bowl?
  6. damn it, iowa state in the process of blowing their chance to face usc in shreveport.
  7. i think usc matches up pretty well with san diego state in the poinsettia bowl.
  8. they may get a chance to do it again in the emerald bowl, but i'll have to check their conference affiliations. usc v. minnesota would be a compelling matchup.
  9. will iowa state play in a better bowl than usc?
  10. what time do the limos leave for the sun bowl, usc fans?
  11. [expletive] the skype thing was [expletive] lame too.
  12. also 86-ing that deal would be the fact that halladay is awesome and bradley is a nutjob.
  13. so effing lame does barnes really want to be a part of a twilight themed poster next year??? no. go to iowa state.
  14. i've foolishly allowed myself to get my hopes up. buddy is trying to convince me to go to the press conference... i mean, he wouldn't hold a big pc in ames if he wasn't going to pick iowa state, right? right??
  15. wow, i can't believe trading an expensive, oft-injured malcontent for one of the best pitchers in baseball isn't going to happen.
  16. Hopefully it will inspire your fans to rush out and actually make your stadium 1/2 full for your last home game. Do I smell 25,000? Eh, what does it matter. We're somehow never going to beat Northwestern again. Low blow, but I saw it coming. Good to know I was spot-on about Hawkeye fans using the "If we had X player..." excuse, just as they used it for Greene last season. Injury excuses don't really count when the team that beats you causes the injury. i thought you had to be smart to get into northwestern.
  17. This facility will serve the Cubs for 30 years. Today's intense demand for ST tickets may well erode in coming seasons, especially as the Cubs' national fandom declines absent the reach of 160 games on WGN and the presence of expansion teams in places like Phoenix and Denver, places in which large numbers of western fans latched onto the team in the 1980s. The Cubs have to prepare for a future in which they may need to work to build spring crowds. Naples is 500 miles closer to Wrigley Field, the Grapefruit schedule is more interesting and Florida is a longstanding vacation destination. no one cares who they play in spring training. they just don't. also the distance between the facilities is much greater in florida whereas in arizona everybody (outside of the tucson teams) are within 45 minutes of each other. it is MUCH easier for a fan to travel to arizona to watch the cubs for a week than to travel to florida.
  18. gonna be a long limo ride to the sun bowl.
  19. lol at all the usc fans making hotel reservations in pasadena for the national championship game.
  20. worst backup qb in college football, holy [expletive].
  21. throw a flag, cripes.
  22. what the [expletive] is vanderberg doing?? geez.
  23. shitty way to end a perfect season.
  24. I'm not sure the competition really matters all that much in the spring. The Cubs sell-out in Arizona already. People go to games to see a spring training game, they don't care who the other team is. The people that should be worried are the other teams/towns in Arizona that lose a huge road draw when Cbus fans who can't get into Hohokam go to the other parks. I am aware of the Cubs' gate performance in Arizona. I believe it has the potential to be even better. it doesn't matter. they're not going to sell more tickets because they play the phillies in ST instead of the brewers. they're just not. no one cares who they play in spring training. plus, ticket sales are probably like the 50th most important factor they're considering. selling tickets is the least of their worries.
  25. I kinda think LSU wins. Possibly without scoring an offensive TD. A refreshed Bama defense at home.....I don't think so. Early line has Bama as 10 point favorites, but I think they will come down to about 3.5 by Saturday. Bama by 10 and it won't even be that close. unless someone on alabama dies, i really doubt the line drops 6.5 points.
