    man, you are bitter. no he doesn't... you are just pissed that he just beat your team. he didn't. The referees did. yeah, that's what happened. :roll:

    Seriously. It looked like he might've been able to tightrope the sidelines and go for it. I'd like to see a replay. He was probably too concerned about the time (or getting tackled inbounds) I think it was a designed play to get 39 yards and get out of bounds. He could have cutback and had a lot more ground I think. If he gets tackled though, they have a long run to spike the ball. Losing that TO killed his options. i really don't think he should have gone for it, but it would have been damn fun to watch.

    that was an idiotic way for this one to end...
  5. abuck1220
    bush shoulda just stayed in bounds and tried to score a TD. please don't let this end on a missed FG.
  6. abuck1220
    free TD? have you watched this game since then? you really think young wouldn't have run in a TD at some point given a 1st and 10 at the 12?
  7. abuck1220
    what a game... pretty sure you don't want this kickoff going anywhere NEAR bush!
  8. abuck1220
    man, i'd still be having young run this thing. fourth down...
  9. abuck1220
    agreed. i was mad that isu didn't make the B12 title game, but they would have lost by 1,000. that was almost a miracle catch.
  10. abuck1220
    not really. yeah, seriously. after the outback bowl, having anything better than high school refs looks pretty good.
  11. abuck1220
    who was saying this was over? what is this, the 2nd inning of a cubs game?
  12. abuck1220
    glory road looks absolutely awful.

    If I were an NFL GM, I would take Young over Leinart without a nanosecond of hesitation. except young can't throw Vince Young is Michael Vick without the ability to throw. If he gets a coach that can get rid of that side arm crap, he might be worth something. Otherwise, he's a great athlete without a position (maybe WR, but I'm not sure). i haven't been at all impressed w/ vick as an NFL qb. he's got a strong arm, but he hasn't turned himself into a real effective NFL passer.
  14. abuck1220
    Do you think he's an amazing athlete or an amazing QB? first and foremost, an athlete. and he certainly hasn't looked bad as a QB tonight, but he hasn't had to make a lot of challenging throws.
  15. abuck1220
    Because it was. To be fair, they have called almost nothing tonight as a penalty. also, please note texas's gift td To be fair, the people in the replay booth should had gotten the officials attention and do a review. Why that wasn't reviewed, I have no idea. and it's not like texas wouldn't have scored had he been ruled down. don't miss this...i hate it when missed FG's decide games.
  16. abuck1220
    It's chickens--t officiating. They are afraid of changing the game with a call. those c-usa refs in the outback bowl certainly didn't have that fear.
  17. abuck1220
    i hadn't seen much of young until tonight...man, is he amazing. i'm pretty meh on leinart.

    there will be people along the road selling tickets, but i don't know how reliable those tickets are or how good they are. i'm pretty sure that most games sell out, so i don't know what kind of luck you'd have walking up to the ticket window 30 minutes before the game. tickets at other stadiums are easier to get...especially if the cubs aren't involved. we had our feet on the 1st base dugout for a brewers-rangers game one year and we bought our tickets two hours before the game started. that likely won't happen if the cubs are involved, however.

    and working in underwriting is exactly the same as being on a baseball team.
  20. abuck1220
    there's a good chance wilson will outproduce murton, so i wouldn't mind starting wilson in left and making murton the big name prospect in a tejada deal.

    if he misses time this year, it's not his fault. the cubs were flat out fools for pitching him out of the pen last year, and that's the reason he won't be ready by ST.
  22. abuck1220
    that would be a good deal for the pirates. not so much for the cubs. but since they seem so hell bent on getting rid of walker, anybody that they get to keep jones off the field is fine by me.
  23. abuck1220
    no. they either take it inside the stadium or at hohokam in the morning.
  24. abuck1220
    they were out there on a sunday last year. i've never been there when they weren't out there, but that's not a guarantee that they're out there every day. they practice in the morning...i usually get there around 9:30, but they probably start stretching by 9. they walk off around 11-11:30 and eat lunch in a little fenced off area. spectators can't go in that area, but you can definitely talk to them/take pictures/get autographs as they walk from the field to the fenced area. games start at around 1. they usually send half the guys (split up by levels) to an away site, while the rest stick around and play at fitch. though i have been at fitch when there were four games going on (meaning that whoever the cubs were playing probably had an empty minor league facility that day), so i suppose it's possible that all the levels could be on the road.

    Which park is better, the Angels or Mariners? i've only been to peoria (mariners park) once (the game where alf slipped and hurt his groin), but i've been to tempe (angels park) a couple times. in my opinion, the angels park is better. the angels take BP on a practice field right outside the stadium. people stand out beyond the fence and catch homeruns. then they walk to the stadium right by the parking lot. before they won the WS they didn't have any boundaries set up and you could run right up and tackle chone figgins on his way to the field if you wanted to. but the year after they won the WS they had the little path roped off...you could still get close to the players and get autographs/take pictures, but the crowds were definitely bigger. the inside of the park is cool too. there's a big mountain looking thing out beyond LF.
