Notre Dame got voted anywhere from #3 (Texas A&M coach) to #13 (Spurrier) Check out Larry Blakeny's ballot! WTF? Paterno gets no votes?

Or Erik Bedard

I hear the Cubs are going after Lugo because Neifi is the cornerstone in either an Abreu or Manny deal

The Nationals have no budget yet. How can they move salary around?

Sorry if this is a repost....search is disabled. http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/columns/story?columnist=stark_jayson&id=2245437 Among the Cub tidbits: - Cubs not listed in teams acquiring Zito (Blue Jays, Orioles, Indians, Mets) - Phillies would want a front line starter for Abreu: Notice who isn't listed :( - Juan Pierre: - Devil Ray players: - Kevin Mench - Alfonso Soriano - Austin Kearns - Milton Bradley

I assume you mean frontrunners for Lugo depending upon who lost out on Furcal. Yes, correct. I'll edit that.

Jayson Stark says (FWIW) that either the Dodgers or Braves would be front runners for Lugo, depending on who lost out on Furcal's services...

Bruc, are the meetings under way?

K-Gon and, what, K-Gon2?

Man, these meetings are off to a slow start :lol:

Rotoworld reporting that the Mets will flip LoDuca to Arizona for Vasquez?

I assume Mr. Miles is in Dallas considering his article in this morning's Herald was from Dallas. good sleuthing!

I just report what i see

I heard Hendry was flipping Chuck Norris for Mcguyver and "Face" from the A-Team

4 moves. Contract extensions for Hendry, Baker, Macias and Maddux

OMGWTFBBQ!!!!1111!! HE WAS RIGHT!!!! THIS WAS ON ESPN.COM !!!!!11!!! http://www.simleaguebaseball.com/talltales/zito.jpg

What time today do they officially start? I'd like not to be glued to ESPNews all day :lol:

Best non-BCS bowl: Peach Bowl. Miami vs. LSU!

Yep. Here you go. Discuss.

poor ducks

Besides the BCS and the Alamo, my predictions aren't so hot :cry:

Because it sells. Just because they had no trophy two years ago doesn't mean we can't all pretend for the sake of ratings. The words "co" and "National Chamos" should never be in the same sentence.

The Bears won today on 4 FG's and a defensive TD. Orton was 6/17 for 60ish yards. Awful. Grossman can't be worse

I hate it, but I've never lived south of the Mason-Dixon Line, so it's all I know

If I were a betting man (which I'm not), I would predict this for your bowl game slate (note, I did this in like 5 minutes, so I'm probably WAY off. I also haven't looked at any articles predicting bowl placement, so this is why I'm not placing any wagers:) ). Teams in bold are already locked in: Rose Bowl: USC vs. Texas Orange Bowl: Florida St. vs. Penn St. Fiesta Bowl: Notre Dame vs. Ohio St. Sugar Bowl: West Virginia vs. Georgia Cotton Bowl: Texas Tech vs. Auburn Gator Bowl: Louisville vs. Virginia Tech Outback Bowl: Wisconsin vs. Florida Capital Bowl: Michigan vs. LSU Houston Bowl: TCU vs. Miami Liberty Bowl: Tulsa vs. Fresno St. Meineke Car Care Bowl: South Florida vs. Boston College Peach Bowl: Georgia Tech vs. Alabama Independence Bowl: South Carolina vs. Iowa St. Sun Bowl: UCLA vs. Northwestern Music City Bowl: Minnesota vs. California (SEC doesn't have 6 bowl eligible teams) Holiday Bowl: Oregon vs. Oklahoma Emerald Bowl: Utah vs. ??? (Pac-10 doesn't have 6 bowl eligible teams) Alamo Bowl: Iowa vs. Colorado MPC Computers Bowl: Boise St. vs. Clemson Insight Bowl: Rutgers vs. Arizona St. Champs Sports Bowl: Nebraska vs. NC State Motor City Bowl: Akron vs. ??? (If OSU goes BCS, there isn't a #7 Big 10 team with 6 wins) Hawaii Bowl: Nevada vs. Central Florida Forth Worth Bowl: Southern Miss vs. Mizzou Poinsettia Bowl: Navy vs. Colorado St. Las Vegas Bowl: Arizona St. vs. BYU GMAC Bowl: UTEP vs. Toledo New Orleans Bowl: Arkansas St. vs. Memphis
