  1. apparently the Red Sox are working on contract language that protects them in case of pre-existing injury
  2. But his name is awesome
  3. Ron Artest's ridiculously bad shot selection is keeping the Bulls in this game
  4. Link to the Dispatch article: http://www.dispatch.com/live/content/sports/stories/2009/12/15/oller_12-15.ART_ART_12-15-09_C1_FAG0G3J.html?sid=101
  5. Local paper had an article about this today, and said one of the driving forces behind this is that Big Ten AD's (and presidents) don't like the fact that Big Ten football is out of the national spotlight 3 weeks before the rest of college football is over. Adding a bye week next year at least gets them to play after Thanksgiving, but there is a strong desire to have the Big Ten on a national stage along with the other BCS conferences who have a title game, with the game likely to take place either in Indy or Soldier Field
  6. He wanted a 4th year, but Hendry said he didn't have a leg to stand on
  7. agreed. A division with OSU, Michigan, PSU and Pitt would be so awesome
  8. OTHER DUDE'S WEINERS
  9. I don't see the need to split Ohio State and Michigan. They'd still play "the game" as the final regular season game each year, and if/when Michigan becomes good again, that game may be decide who goes to the championship game. It's not like the SEC said "we HAVE to split up Alabama and Auburn" (for example).
  10. new idea for an Onion article: "MLB folds after Red Sox sign every player in baseball"
  11. Rankings of what? Quality of pizza on campus? http://colleges.usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/best-colleges/national-universities-rankings
  12. Pitt would fit right in Nationwide rankings Northwestern - 12 Michigan - 27 Illinois - 39 (T) Wisconsin - 39 (T) Penn State - 47 Ohio State - 53 PITT - 56 Purdue - 61 Minnesota - 61 Indiana - 71 Michigan State - 71 Iowa - 71
  13. if you put CubbieBum on ignore and then go back and reread the thread, there are a few good posts
  14. nevermind
  15. This Nicks guy has hands of stone
  16. Yes. It's all on a website that doesn't exist anymore and in a paper that no one is allowed seeing
  17. who counts their biblography and end notes in their page count?
  18. wow, Vick laser-beamed that thing
  19. Heisman winners have a pretty bad NFL track record over the past 20 or so years as well. There are exceptions, but the Heisman seems to be an NFL curse ETA: Winners since 1990: 1990: Ty Detmer (career backup) 1991: Desmond Howard (don't even remember who he played for) 1992: Gino Toretta (lol) 1993: Charlie Ward (undrafted, played in NBA) 1994: Rashan Salaam (ouch) 1995: Eddie George (really good) 1996: Danny Wuerffel (career backup) 1997: Charles Woodson (good) 1998: Ricky Williams (4:20) 1999: Ron Dayne (eh) 2000: Chris Weinke (bad) 2001: Eric Crouch (bad) 2002: Carson Palmer (good) 2003: Jason White (who?) 2004: Matt Leinart (bad start, stuck on bench) 2005: Reggie Bush (good when healthy) 2006: Troy Smith (backup) 2007: Tim Tebow (TBD) 2008: Sam Bradford (TBD) 2009: Mark Ingram (TBD)
  20. Bears now have the same record as the Seahawks, Panthers and Bills. LOLOLOLOLOLOOL
  21. When they cut to GB/CHI after the Saints game, the first thing I see is: Chicago with the ball, 12 penalties, 0 timeouts. I felt like I got a pretty good idea about the game right there
  22. that's a scary injury
  23. Can't?
  24. And the Big 12. And the ACC. In basketball. The Big 12 doesn't seed their tournament by division, but they schedule by division. Home and home against everyone in your division, one game against everyone in the other division. It doesn't look like the ACC does that though. Big 12 standings also aren't listed by division. It's just 12 teams, top to bottom. So divisions really only matter in football, and a geographic east/west split (esp. if you add Pitt) would have the historically best teams in the East (and would prevent the conference pipe dream of an OSU/UM title game every year). I don't know how else you would split it, though, unless you just threw teams into a hat
