    First base, apparently. who was playing first last year?

    Are you really saying that if LSU played OSU's schedule, LSU wouldn't play in NOLA? OSU's schedule was tougher? Please tell me you're kidding? Or you trying to suggest that tOSU's schedule wouldn't be strong enough to get them there? This HAS to be what you're trying to suggest, right? Surely, I've got to be misunderstanding what you're trying to say. i was unclear. I meant that if LSU lost in Week 11 instead of 7 that they would be out of the NC hunt right now.

    where the hell is Lowell going to play on the Yankees?

    I don't know if that's a hard and fast rule, but I think it's already generally observed. Last year KU was 6-6, and everybody knew there was almost no chance they'd go to a bowl because, while eligible, there were too many 7-5 teams out there. Bowls must select teams with winning records before they can select a 6-6 team. I'm pretty sure that it includes 6-5 teams. If a conference doesn't have enough bowl-eligible teams for their tie-ins, then a bowl must select a team outside of the conference with a winning record before they can select a team outside of the conference with a 6-6 record. Hence why a 7-5 Ball State team might sneak into a bowl game even if they don't get a MAC tie-in, just as Northern Illinois did last season. LSU will play for the NC because they lost in Week 7 and OSU won't because they lost in Week 11. Reverse the schedules and there is no way LSU plays in NOLA

    that brings up a good point. if more teams are playing 12 game schedules, they should increase the # of wins for bowl eligibility to 7 and reduce the # of bowls. Or, if there is a disparity with 11 and 12 game schedules, the requirement should be "a winning record"

    i think i called this a few weeks ago. gotta get those old, ex-Brewer lefties into your lineup whenever you can

    i want to throw another pitch out there for a playoff. It looks very likely that we'll have a pair of one-loss teams in the BCS Championship game, but the teams there won't be based on who they lost to, but when they lost. that's crap. i love me some college football, but so much about is totally broken

    The NBA thread

    LeBron who?
  10. Derwood
    link to Loney being shopped please
  11. Derwood
    this move affects me 0%. he's still not in our league, i never thought he would ever come here, so this is non-news.
  12. Derwood
    I won't beleive he is out of New York, until he signs or they sign another3B. BorA$$ will always go back to the Yankees for one last shot. But I read a report where A-Rod has said he would like to go to Boston. Boras isn't part of the negotiations. A-Rod is using a 3rd party
  13. Derwood
    and florida and oklahoma (as noted above) sorry, missed you posting that. hopefully the kid doesn't go back on his verbal (signing day isn't until February, right?)

    Could still sell high for Miggy. according to most rumor sites, we aren't even in the conversation for miggy. all i hear is Yankees, Angels, Dodgers
  15. Derwood
    selling high on Rich Hill would have been trading him for Adam Dunn
  16. Derwood
    i'm sure he's awesome lead his high school to the NJ state title and a 32-2 record. Averaged 4 blocks per game and had 10 blocks in the championship game. that said, he's hardly Mr. Basketball for NJ or anything well according to rivals.com, penn state stole him away from some big offers by the patriot and ivy league Welcome to my Syracuse football recruiting Hell. PSU got a football comittment from a DB who was also recruited by USC and tOSU

    i'm guessing not until 3.0 goes gold and the board converts again

    One year, $18 million "make good" deal and hit the market again next season? That would be a good deal if he'd take it. he wouldn't. if he's considering signing in Washington (which i've read) then he's clearly in it for the big contract I thought that was Hunter who was considering Washington because of his close friendship with Young? Jones has some relationship with the hitting coach there or something. i can't find the article i read

    penn state is getting an early comittment from some 6'8" swingman from NJ today

    it blows away the $11.75M or whatever that Hoffman makes (currently the highest for a reliever)
  23. Derwood
    I can't think of a better place for Izturis to end up. Hopefully the Cardinals give him a 3 or 4-year contract. they will and he'll win World Series MVP for them
  24. Derwood
    we've gone from "Hill is untouchable and I won't trade him straight up for Adam Dunn" to "Hill plus my best reliever plus a young SS for Crawford" Ladies and Gentleman, YOUR Cubs General Manager, Mr. James Hendry
