Peter Angelos can go take a flying leap at the moon. He's got 1 vote out of 30. Charlotte is 440 miles from Baltimore. If only it worked that way. He somehow seems to strongarm his way to a bit better than a 1 in 30 vote. Charlotte is not in "that area". Angelos has nothing to say about it. Well, he'll have something to say about it, but yes, there is a buffer zone of Virginia that will hopefully shut his pie hole

I'll be all over the first game, and don't give a fig about the 2nd game.

what was up with the clock not stopping on 1st downs in that game?

Fixed

Yeah, cause the Mets will need an OVERRATED lefty to replace Glavine when Tom leaves. 86-56, 3.50 career is overrated?

OSU moves to 4-2 in the conference. PSU moves to all time leaders in missing layups and giving up long rebounds.

Penn State just can't stop the 3-pointer....now down by 12

Actually, they're tied for 9th right now. And a few years ago, we would have been thrilled with that. Now it's just sad.

PSU got their 19th known verbal comittment from Virginia's Gatorade Player of the Year, RB Evan Royster. He's 6'0", 190 lbs. and rushed for over 2100 yds and 30 TD's in his senior year. He made official visits to PSU, Oklahoma and Nebraska.

Sadly, despite the last place standing and losing record, the Bulls are still in the 8th spot in the East.

I have a sorta sketchy source in TB who says that either huff or lugo (or both) could have beenhad but hendry wouldn't give up guzman...

I have many, many great memories of the MJ years which I wouldn't trade. sorry

pardon me, but i just woke up from a 3 year coma......why would this be an issue with Ankiel and Bud Smith fronting the rotatopn?

Don't forget Buck and McCarver on FOX!

right, like Peter Angelos would allow a 3rd team in that area

My all white team is holding their own, though Peja's injury is going to cost me

There is some truth to it. For example, the Cubs don't match up well against soft tossing rookie lefties because they have zero patience and don't just walk in 8 runs an inning like they should.

He also attended the Penn State camps during the summer. So, I'd have to think that if he does not want to attend UM, that PSU would be his choice over Virginia. Several people have said that he will be visiting PSU on one of the next two weekends. This would be a big steal if he became a Lion, and probably give PSU a top 5 class nationally. EDIT - I just read a couple of other interviews of him immediately after the QB coach was fired, and he still sounded very committed to Miami... so obviously his commitment is not as solid. How much he is uncertain... that remains to be seen. Penn State would be a good opportunity for him. Morellis is a Jr. next year, meaning this kid could redshirt his first year, backup Morelli his RSFr. year, and then start for 3 seasons (potentially). I'm not sure how good the kid who will back up Morelli next year is, but if this kid is really great, he would likely jump him in the depth chart.

Oden had 33 points, 17 boards and 6 blocks. The announcers called him the best defensive (high school) center they've ever seen. The dude is 18 and looks about 25. There ought to be an investigation.

Haha, not exactly a who's who of perennial powerhouses here. At least they didn't play the boys at Marathon Oil this year

That would be 3 seasons ago, and they have played in January bowl games in Florida each year since. :P that answers that

Oh, woops, you're right. It's always a hoot when you listen to Boers and Bernstein and the angry bretheren of the Illini Nation call up. It's always about the disrespect. Who has a bigger chip on their shoulder: Sox fans or Illini fans? Discuss.

and don't forget that Iowa nearly lost to Penn St. on Saturday. I am real confused on most of these teams in the Big 10. One game, some teams look like the class of the conference, the next they look like they could be in the cellar. The conference is pretty even this year and the winner of the Big 10 (probably Wisconsin) is going to have to be the best at protecting their home court. Penn State beat Purdont by 20 tonight, WTF?!?!? Penn State shouldn't beat anyone by 20, except perhaps a local girls' elementary school for the blind. ...giving them a 2-2 record in the Big Ten, tied with the mighty Illini Yeah they have played the same level of teams. :roll: Overall, no, they clearly haven't. But I would say that overall PSU has played a lot of mediocre to good teams while the Illini have played either very good teams or complete jokes. PSU is 10-5, with wins over Cornell, Nicholls St., LIU Brooklyn, UMKC, St. Francis, IPFW, New Hampshire, Mt.St. Mary's, Northwestern and Purdue, and losses to Texas A&M, Clemson, Pitt, Ohio St. and Iowa (by 4 points). Overall, better than you would expect, with the losses to teams you'd expect and wins over who you might guess (with NU being an upset probably). Illini is 16-2, with wins over So. Dakota St., Texas Pan-Am, Texas Southern, Wichita St., Rutgers, N. Carolina, Xavier, Arkansas LR, Georgetown, Oregon, Coppin St., Missouri, SE Missouri St., Tenn. Martin, Michigan St. and Michigan, and losses to Iowa and Indiana. They have beat some big conference teams for sure, but some of those other teams are truly pitiful. In no way am I implying that Penn St. is even close to being on par with Illini talent-wise, and I fully expect Illionois to spank the Nittany Lions when they go head to head. But I just wouldn't gloat over some of those wins (especially when you only beat Wichita St. by 1 point. If I thought it was worth arguing, I would figure out the opponents' records overall, but as I said, it's not an argument I can make
