    Typical from the score, I just read the article and there is nothing in it about a trade. Phil says that the Cubs MAY make a pitch for Burnett, which would then possibly make Wood available. He's speculating on that, then it says Beane might be interested in Soriano and then the Cubs could possibly trade him for Zito. The damn score didn't even buy the paper!! You read the article that's not in the paper until tomorrow :?: :!: :?: :!: :?:

    Final Score of the Rose Bowl: Texas 81 - USC 80

    That's not Linda Cohn. I think it's Pam Oliver, but definitely not Linda. Pam Oliver who was assigned to seemingly EVERY Northwestern game on ESPN this year

    I was going to as 100? I hate it when teams run up the score, but against Barnett, I could look the other way. EDIT: Not that Texas is running up the score. All they are doing is running and Colorado still can't stop them. They should not be caught off guard by the run. UT is classless. Against Mizzou, they went for it on 4th and goal near the end of the 3rd quarter up 4+ scores. bitter?

    What's your problem with their NBA coverage? I for one like that they show exclusively games involving Miami, San Antonio, Phoenix, Detroit, Denver, or the LA Lakers. :wink: That many teams? TNT is ALWAYS Houston vs. San Antonio. You wouldn't think they would play enough times to make a full season of coverage, but that's all they play.

    It's really true. Holtz doesn't watch the games he talks about. And if you ever read any of Morgan's ESPN chat transcripts, he constantly makes excuses for why he doesn't watch any of the games he isn't working. Plus Morgan hates sabermetrics, OBP, and anything vaguely related to Billy Beane.

    That's Jeff Blauser and Julio Zuleta, ....but point taken, just the same. Oh god I'm older than I thought. And Dumber. Jeff Blauser just got hired to manage one of Atlanta's minor league teams. And at this point, I would take Henry Rodriguez in the OF over most of what we've heard rumors about.

    Can we just implement the slaughter rule in this Texas/Colorado game and start the USC/UCLA game early?

    T-minus 86 minutes to kickoff of the Big XII Championship game. As a PSU fan, clearly I want either Texas or USC to lose (or both), and LSU losing to Georgia would also take away any chance that the Tigers could jump the Nittany Lions in the poll. Not that I see this happening. Orange Bowl here we come!

    Great post. Only thing you failed to mention was that Sisco went on to KC for a 2-5, 3.11, 75.1 IP, 76K, 42 BB, 1.46 WHIP year. Not spectacular (though he did lead the team in ERA had had slightly more than a K/IP) but worth protecting? Yessir! He would have been a great LOOGY, holding lefties to a .216/.297/.318 line.

    There is no way Dusty plays both Murton and Cedeno every day. Replace Murton with Mabry and Cedeno with Macias, and THAT is the worst case scenario

    The fact that Insider would consider Texas out ofthe BCS if they lose is ridiculous to me. If SC and Texas both lost this weekend, I'd fully expect them to be the two at-large teams to replace ND and O$U, leaving the Irish in the Gator Bowl as they were as a BCS-eligible team in 2002. Hey look, we agree on something! No way USC and Texas drop completely out of the BCS picture if they lose this week. That would really be a black eye on the system

    As a college football fan, as well as a Northwestern fan who saw them early in the season, let me tell you that they could very easily have two by now. Penn State could also very easily have zero losses by now, as they lost one very close game and won one. Similarly, Northwestern could very easily have another loss if they hadn't gotten lucky on the onside kick versus Iowa. Hell, USC could've easily had a loss if Leinart hadn't fumbled the ball out of bounds against ND. That's the way college games work, you get an L or a W, and hopefully the close games even out in the end. Northwestern also beat NIU by just 1 point.
  17. Derwood
    Good point. Less money of course when you drop lower in the draft, but I would much rather land on a team like the Redskins or Raiders than on Houston or Arizona. Also, on paper, ND's schedule looks a little tougher next year. Despite playing three branches of the Armed Forces, ND does lose the two Big East flops (Syracuse and Pitt) and adds a pair of mid-level ACC squads (Georgia Tech and North Carolina). Plus Penn State, Michigan and UCLA at home and USC on the road to end the season. Seems like a tough road to the National Championship

    All division games are equally important. The "rivalry" aspect of the Bears-Packers just serves as motivating tool. I find it amusing that like Cubs vs. Sox, this rivalry is not perceived equally from both sides. Bears fans HATE the Packers, Packers fans HATE........the Vikings.
  19. Derwood
    Tough one, right?
  20. Derwood
    Somehow the mismatch this year takes some luster off this game. Plus, I don't think beating the Packers is any more important than beating Detroit or Minnesota
  21. Derwood
    Quinn doesn't ant the Heisman. It's the NFL kiss of death. Great ending to that MAC Title game. No chance NIU will get picked up for a bowl anyways?

    I tried posting a poll and got a whole slew of errors
