You are an absolute genius, Derwood. Thanks. For my next trick, I'd also like to see the Super Bowl played in the stadium of one of the two teams playing in the game.

What? No way! I'VE BEEN TOLD THAT A COLLEGE FOOTBALL PLAYOFF WOULDN'T WORK. STOP LYING! =; Only 1-AA and lower students athletes can handle the extra games along with their studies. That's right. It has nothing to do with the fact that no one would pay $150 a ticket to see New Hampsire vs. Youngstown St. in the Orange Bowl or anything
-
Only the Top 8 or 10 matter as far as BCS games go.

6 pm, I believe. ESPN projected a top 5 of OSU, USC, Michigan, Texas and West Virginia if I remember correctly. Wow, I thought Michigan would be ahead of USC. Well, USC is quickly becoming the Yankees/Duke of College Football for ESPN.

Penn State can beat the Illini, even with their 3rd string QB (no word on how healthy Morelli or Clark are yet). Can I just state for the record that a little part of me dies every time JoePa calls a "run up the middle" play. Guess what, it didn't work the first 20 times, so when you're down by 14, maybe try mixing it up a little, mkay?

I would like to see: - Best overall record gets homefield in World Series - Abolish the rule that the wildcard team can't play a team in it's own division in the first round of the playoffs
-
You mean they have Kyle Orton at quarterback? :lol: Well they DID have their #1 and #2 QB's injured, so yeah, we may have Orton at QB next week against the Illini

Penn State 2006 = Chicago Bears 2005 If the defense doesn't pitch a shutout every game, the team is screwed.

That ball looks HORRIBLE

What a choker

The Cubs already have a Zito like pitcher in the rotation....his name is Rich Hill. Adding Zito would be redundant to say the least. The Daske or wahtever his name from Japan is, or Jason Schmdit should be Hendry's #1's target, and not Zito. I agree. And for me, one of the reasons I want another power pitcher is that those are the types that can carry a team in the playoffs. Zito is not that type of pitcher. my money is on Zito to the Yankees -
For me, it's all about the crowd. The game is at 8pm, meaning most of the crowd will have been drinking for, oh, 10-12 hours by kickoff. My house is 3 miles from Beaver Stadium, and last year I could hear the crowd at the OSU game from my backyard. I expect the same level of insanity this year. Plus it's going to be COLD. UM needs to quiet the crowd early. If PSU scores first, it's gonna be a tough environment for the Wolverines

Wow, what time? I have to see this.
-
I know that ND's strength of schedule is a favorite topic every year, but can I point out that Penn State is about to play it's 3rd top-4* team in 7 games? * - top 4 at time of game
-
Who says you can't have a great pitching staff, or a staff that gets hot, just because you've got a lot of all stars in the lineup? What is with this black and white world where everybody thinks it's either hitting or pitching. You need both. The Mets would be up a creek without their lineup. The Yankees lost because they spent millions on really old and/or broken down pitchers. It was very similar to the Cubs relying on already injured pitchers. and people need to stop judging a team's entire season on a 5 game series. Guess what? The Royals or Devil Rays could have beaten the Yankees in a 5 game series. That's baseball.

I would rather apply the rules of real math and stop making up impossible percentages to describe things

first you take their TCI....

Weaver has pitched pretty well in the playoffs. His 04 and 05 years were pretty decent with the Dodgers. 04: 13-13, 34 Starts, 220 IP, 4.01 ERA, 1.30 WHIP 05: 14-11, 34 Starts, 224 IP, 4.22 ERA, 1.17 WHIP If he could return to his Dodger form, he would be an ideal 5th starter. His "pretty decent" Dodger years put him at average at best. We already have several options that could put up better numbers than Weaver at a fraction of the cost. but that just wouldn't be very Hendry like at all

A 115 Million Payroll?
Derwood replied to vance_the_cubs_fan's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
Am I the only one who wishes the playoffs would just be done already so we can get to the winter meetings? :fingerscrossed: -
Interesting, but couldn't this have gone into one of the other 2 dozen Lou threads?
-
Lou and Larry can share pithy coaching stories from their Devil Ray managerial stints. Oh the yarns they can spin!

Cory Lidle killed in NY plane crash
Derwood replied to goonys evil twin's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Today's Dugout is probably a better tribute to Lidle than any major media outlet will ever come up with. -

For some reason I went over to the Dugout to see if they had used Lidle in any embarassing way. He only appears in a Phillies Spring Training episode ("LidleHands")
