    I wonder when the last time both Northwestern AND Penn State were in the tourney the same year

    my god does WGN SD look terrible. I mean, really really terrible.

    the big ten doesn't stand a chance in the tournament. purdue looks terrible on a fairly regular basis... illinois held to 33 at home... purdue dominates michigan state by 19... really... i don't think anyone in the big ten would be in the top 3-4 in the acc or big east... except the Big 10 actually plays defense. Get Duke or North Carolina away from the ACC refs and see how far their flopping gets them the tourney is called more like the big east or acc than the big ten The Big East is called closer to the Big Ten than most Big Ten fans want to admit. which is why I only mentioned the ACC ;) But yeah, we're toast.

    If Billy Beane or Paul DePodesta were dead, they'd be rolling in their graves.

    judging by the # of views on each of these videos, I'd have to say that he's pretty much playing to just us right now. It's hilarious that he thinks he has a real audience.

    pomeroy gives northwestern only an 11% chance of winning at purdue. they gave PSU a similar % to win at MSU. at any rate, if PSU wins out, they'll be in 3rd place (as they'd hold the tie-breaker over Illinois).
  8. Derwood
    they couldn't find 5 more to make an even 50?

    Amazingly, Penn State is still alive to finish as high as 2nd place in the Big Ten. It would require PSU to beat Illinois and Iowa and for Purdue to lose to NU and MSU. Not so crazy a scenario....

    I would agree with this only because the media, especially Jay Bilas and a couple others, are trying to make it out like ND and Georgetown were both tremendous teams that just got the will beat out of them by how good the Big East was. In reality, the Irish and Hoyas were both very flawed teams whose flaws were exposed by good teams in the conference. I think the Big East is probably the best league in the country, even with the horrible four at the bottom (I'm biased, obviously), but it's not even close to the gap that ESPN makes it out to be. (It should be noted that since ESPN has a huge contract with the Big East that it would benefit them to have people THINK the Big East is some mega-league that's head and shoulders above everybody.) ESPN has a huge chub for Notre Dame and they refuse to admit that the team is exceedingly mediocre. It's really tiring

    battle of Cubs 5th starter candidates (past and present)

    did Vinny get a 2 year deal?
  13. Derwood
    ha ha, nice edit
  14. Derwood
    I tried my link for the league and it's dead. Does this mean we're done?

    if last year's 1.031 OPS and 332 total bases = "disinterested", sign me up please
  16. Derwood
    It would be interesting if it became popular. But I don't think it has at all. Perhaps in another 15 years, after a couple rivalries build and a few "classic" games are played, and remembered, it will become popular. But you'll need far more stars playing in the tourny and not skipping. So if a tourney becomes popular with more stars playing, but how do you get more stars to play if the tourney isn't popular? don't ask them to play in it when they're supposed to be preparing for the regular season
  17. Derwood
    This is the case nearly every year, but I don't remember them skipping the 5th spot much. seems like they usually just give everyone an extra day rest

    notice the common theme in the two fights.... Between Illinois-Indiana and Duke-UNC? sorry, I misread.

    why did DePo leave the A's in the first place?
  21. Derwood
    the 40-man roster issues that both teams would face are mind-boggling.

    uhhhh you are still penn state :wink: can you just let us pretend we're a basketball school for one lousy year? ok :oops: we promise to suck again next year :-))
  23. Derwood
    I'd be pretty stoked if they could manage to get back to .500 by season' end. No small task
