    The only numbers to be retired twice by the same team are 5 of the Cincinnati Reds, 8 of the New York Yankees, 10 of the Montreal Expos, and 42 of the St. Louis Cardinals. The Yankees retired the number 8 in 1972 for Bill Dickey and Yogi Berra, both catchers. Berra took number 8 in 1948 after Dickey stopped playing but before he was a coach. The Cardinals have retired number 42 for both Bruce Sutter and Jackie Robinson. Number 10 was retired by the Expos for Andre Dawson and Rusty Staub. After catcher Willard Hershberger of the Reds committed suicide during the season of 1940, the team decided pay tribute to him by retiring his number '5'. It was later 'unretired' in 1942. It is currently retired for Johnny Bench. Did you text that new answer company for the answer? no. OleMissCub was away from his computer and felt his history spidey sense tingle to he texted me to post this. I didnt even ready the question, actually.

    Sweet. That way, when we are watching, we can pretend the Celtics are getting blown out.

    You have to have a winning record to play in those tournaments. CIT you do. CBI you don't though. (as evidenced by St. Johns, Oregon State etc...)
  7. manbearcub
    I think we turned them down, actually.
  8. manbearcub
    drama!

    Dammit, stop calling it a Big Ten Championship! :x
  10. manbearcub
    well, I think the right team won at least. but that was pathetic.
  11. manbearcub
    these refs have been an absolute joke.

    one positive about vinny is, its really, really funny to watch him point at something every few minutes and generally stand around looking like a [expletive]. no offense to retards.
  13. manbearcub
    US is down 6-0 already. is this on TV anywhere?
  14. manbearcub
    hay guyz, digger just told me that Wisconsin finished the season poorly. i bet they wont make it.
  15. manbearcub
    Very. just checking. :wink: some call it 'sensationalizing'
  16. manbearcub
    huh. its on WGN TV for those unaware. Guzman looking poor right now.

    35% isn't bad especially when your best 3-pt shooter has been out or playing hurt for most of the season. They were also much better 3-pt shooters last year showing they can be good shooters. Moore is a full 10% lower than last year and Grant is 9% lower but both started shooting a lot closer to last year's percentages in the last 5 games or so. For real, Robbie Hummell is actually Michael Jordan reborn. Why do you think MJ isn't watching Jeffrey? Cause he's actually Robbie Hummell. When will he be accepting his player of the year trophy? Next year. And Hummel is spelled with one L. Oh well back to the butt whopping. Sure thing, next year. Luckily everyone off the first team is a senior so he won't have much competition. JaJuan Johnson, Kalin Lucas, Evan Turner, Talor Battle and Manny Harris are all sophomores. It starts with the same letter but isn't quite the same as senior. ok thanks

    i learned today from digger that along with not having anyone that can score, as he said yesterday, MSU is a terrible defensive team.
  20. manbearcub
    65-55 it looks to me like the Pac 10 doesnt have any good players.
  21. manbearcub
    I haven't seen a coach as badly prepared and constantly outcoached on a daily basis since Tim Floyd. I hope for the same fate for VDN.... Floyd lasted for 2 and a half seasons. Lets hope not.

    What'd he do, not fall down when a guy dribbled near him? he probably didn't throw his hands in the air or get a whiny look on his face after getting called for a foul.
  23. manbearcub
    looks like im waiting until the bulls are done. except maybe i wont, based on early returns in this thread.
  24. manbearcub
    im at "not getting CSN+"

    I think the rationale that the players aren't very good is pretty reasonable. Tell that to Louisville, Duke, Kansas, UCLA, Missouri, Florida State, Texas, Butler, Oklahoma State, Boston College, et al. Manny Harris is as good as anyone in America. When the highest rated pro prospect in the league is BJ Mullens it doesn't speak well about the depth of talent in the conference. Obviously NBA projectability and how good the teams are on the college level are two different things but if you compare the talent level of the Big 10 now to what it was just a couple years ago I think it's fair to say the overall talent level is pretty down. The best talents in the conference are fringe lottery guys at best (Mullens and Turner). The Big 10 won't be drafting many players into the NBA over the couple years. you really have no idea what you are talking about.
