  1. no wonder.....shot selection is piss poor
  2. this is all coaching, folks
  3. Talor Battle is 6 feet, 170 lbs, and leads his team in minutes, points, assists and rebounds. While I hope he stays around next year, I don't blame him if he bails.
  4. Serious question: how many of you recruits back out if/when sanctions come down in a few weeks? They signed a LOI, can they still back out? I know under certain circumstances they can but I don't know specifics. Did they all sign? I heard some were going to verbally commit but wait to see what happened with the sanctions
  5. Penn State hanging around at ~10 down. I'm waiting for OSU to end this DePaul would lose to about 10 Chicago Public League teams. I'm so ashamed to be an alum
  6. Serious question: how many of you recruits back out if/when sanctions come down in a few weeks?
  7. Illinois/Iowa right after it will have the same. Big Ten could be very strong next year if guys like Turner et al don't bail for the NBA
  8. PSU @ OSU about to start. Neither team has a senior in their starting lineup. Don't see that too often
  9. local radio says with OSU losing out on the big 3 OL they were recruiting, that they may enter 2011 with only 9 O-Linemen. Yikes
  10. yeah, OSU lost all 3 OL they really wanted (assuming they lose the guy who's announcing at 5:30)
  11. i.e. NOT joe paterno, who doesn't even have a computer for crap's sake. I think he sends his announcements via carrier pigeon
  12. no way that happens. are you kidding? wow. Since that would be a three run homer, I guarantee that doesn't happen. Runner on 1st and 2 out, not runner on 1st and 2nd.
  13. Kalin Lucas just wrecked his ankle in the Wiscy game
  14. and they're doing a medley, some of which will be mimed to over a track.
  15. You'd lose. As a team the reds hit 8 points lower and had a OBP 14 points lower than the Cubs. The reds OPS was also well below the Cubs. The cubs also had better stats compared to the reds pitching. I just dont see the reds being as good as the Cubs, if only because Baker is their manager and he does not have a roided up player to make him look good.... Those are last year's stats. By that measure the Cubs must have won the division in 2009 because of their 2008 stats. The Cubs are on their way down, the Reds on their way up. They cross this year. You see no rebound from Soto or Soriano? You expect Ramirez to be hurt again? You don't think Byrd can outperform Bradley? On the flip side, you're expecting who to step up for the Reds? Bruce? An 80 year old Scott Rolen? I just don't see it

    good point. no one's been talking about football these last two weeks. they've been talking about the championship game, which is the most important game of the season. Trying to make people excited about the LEAST important game of the season at the same time is a losing strategy. What would happen if you put the MLB all star game between the LCS and WS?
  17. You're kidding, right? Wilson is the Voice of Reason of pro football
  18. Is it safe to say that if LeBron wins it all in Cleveland this year, that he's more likely to go to NYC? If the "winning a ring" monkey is off his back, wouldn't that give him more freedom to just play where he wants to hang out?
  19. I suppose you're right. The truth of the matter is that I've seen too many Top 10 classes come through Penn State and the team never seems to deliver on that potential. I'm jaded
  20. Mizzou's class is scary good, assuming they all qualify. I'm pretty jealous. Scary good? They're 17th (per Rivals) with no 5-stars and mostly 3-star commits Sorry, we're not all Penn State. For a team that KU is trying to compete with in a North division that's kind of up for grabs, 17th in the nation is very good. Especially for a program that's not a traditional power. And dinging a team for having no 5* is pretty silly considering there are 25 total in the nation. Right now, their class is rated better than Michigan's, tOSU's, Virginia Tech's, and Miami's. For a fan of a rival team, that's not what you like to see. my post was mostly in the semantics of "scary". I reserve that for very few teams, that's all

    every other ASG is mid-season, while the NFL's is after anyone cares about football anymore
  22. Cleveland has better big men and more depth (right now)
  23. Mizzou's class is scary good, assuming they all qualify. I'm pretty jealous. Scary good? They're 17th (per Rivals) with no 5-stars and mostly 3-star commits
  24. but football can't have a playoff because they don't want to extend the season :roll:
