    Are you happy with division titles Derwood. I've been an Astros fan for 84 years, and I only want titles. Biggio is a prick. I'd rather lose 100 games a year with nice players than win the WS with a prick like Bradley.
  2. Derwood
    it's the same argument people use to glorify people like Biggio and Ripken; both were great players, but using "they played their whole career for one team" as some sort of benchmark for greatness is idiotic

    yeah we might lose a game. when Temple is popping Clark in the mouth on every pass, it makes me a tad worried about playing actual teams

    Penn State's O-Line is going to be a big issue come conference time
  7. Derwood
    Penn State looks LETHARGIC early in this game. Come on, idiots, it's TEMPLE

    A-Rod hitting .600 with 7 HR in the World Series (while Jeter hits .089) would be pretty glorious. Hat Guy would have a gun in his mouth

    when does the current NFL CBA run out? that league needs a rookie salary cap in the worst way. The NBA does it so much better on that front

    I've hated the guest conductors since about April 9, 1998

    I'm not focusing on it just because it went against us, and I don't think it cost us the game (surely not any more than giving up a kickoff return for a score and an unforced fumble in our own territory did). I posted it because no one in the supposedly pro-ND media is running with the story and otherwise no one else would know about it, and also to emphasize how shady refs have been and continue to be at UM (for no reason I can think of, ND/UM is the only contract I know of in college football where the home team gets to pick the refs). The selection of officials is part of any contract that is signed when teams play OOC games. The teams can stipulate to where the crews come from, leave it up to the home team, seek other conference crews, etc. Smaller schools probably have less say in this. I know the LSU-Washington game was done by Pac-10 refs as LSU allowed that in the contract. So, I don't think ND/UM is the only one. It may be a rare case; that I can't speak. I'm sure it happens sometimes and others not. I don't know the frequency though. That's true. But UM doesn't allow anyone other than Big 10 refs do games in Ann Arbor. So if you're going to play a home and home with Michigan, you get Big 10 refs. Michigan's budget is tight and they can't afford to expand their ref payroll

    the preseason rankings will never go away. college football is run by the TV networks, and they need the little numbers next to the teams in order to sell their games

    he didn't call him out. he said he was honored to be included in the speech.
  22. Derwood
    I'm expecting a ton of boos.
  23. Derwood
    the level of obtuseness in this thread is really quite enjoyable
