    I haven't looked at DePaul' schedule, but with a new coach and no more Quemont Greer, I think they get OWNED by the Big East

    As someone who is hoping that Mizzou by several freak occurrences makes it to a BCS game with an 8-4 record, no. :P Here's your BCS nightmare, with all the possibilities except a couple already explained in this thread: Pac-10: Oregon Big 12: Missouri Big Ten: Penn State (no offense PSU, just that Mich and OSU have more national pull) ACC: 8-4 Florida State SEC: South Carolina (Is this even possible?) Big East: South Florida (don't laugh, if USF wins out, including beating WV, this is a reality) At-larges: UCLA/USC (If UCLA beat USC and won out I can't imagine either of them getting passed up; I'm assuming further nightmarish occurrences such as ND losing one of their last two) Ouch. Untrue. PSU has more national alumni than either of those schools. Penn State has a very "Cub-like" fan base, meaning they are everywhere (and will travel to bowls in flocks). It's actually more of a nightmare for the BCS if Michigan wins with it's 3 losses (which is possible if they beat O$U and Penn State loses next Saturday)

    So much for Penn State clinching a share of the title today
  4. Derwood
    Ok, it's Saturday. Time to bump this thread back up. Noon (EST) games include NU/OSU, Clemson/Florida St. and others. I'll probably catch some of the Northwestern game, then watch Alabama and LSU

    How do you figure? Michigan won fair and square Carr complained and they unjustly added two seconds to the clock. Time doesn't stop when the team calls timeout, it stops when the official calls it. Michigan won the game on a play with one second left. How do you know 2 seconds weren't miscounted at some point earlier in the game? It probably happens in almost every game. Enough so that 2 random seconds added at the end doesnt really factor in the decision. Penn State still should have stopped them and they didn't. Yes, that's why I don't particularly blame the refs in that game. Penn State didn't score a point in the entire first half, didn't defend the final kickoff very well, and simply didn't stop the Wolverines down the stretch. And of course, had there been 2 fewer seconds, Michigan would have called different plays. It's not like everything would have been exactly the same had the 2 seconds not been added.

    That's why he can't get my vote. To me, it's akin to being deformed, which is way different than being ugly. Having a deformity is cheating in an ugly competition. Now Mossi, that's good old-fashioned ugly. He doesn't need a second head growing out of his face to be jaw-droppingly hideous. He's just suiting up and coming correct with a classic, triple-fugly mug. Believe me, had I heard of Mossi prior to making this poll, he would have been the #1 entry. I voted for Gaetti. No votes for Zane or Weathers?

    The off season has barely begun and you jerks are getting my hopes up already. :lol:
  10. Derwood
    I voted Pierre, since Neifi will be our starting SS and Hendry won't acquire 2 leadoff hitters
  11. Derwood
    I second that. After I saw his pic, I didn't even need to look at the others, my mind was made up. And you know what? that's not nearly as scary as he looks up close. They only use non-hd cameras to film him. Ypu want to say "Dude, you make big league money now. Maybe you should get that growth looked at"
  12. Derwood
    I didn't realize the Padres had signed Juan Gonzalez...
  13. Derwood
    The line on this game just went from 13 to 2 1/2, wuth oddsmakers citing "guaranteed low team morale"
  14. Derwood
    EDIT: Sorry, didn't look in Rivalries...thought this would be front page news...
  15. Derwood
    looks like that site doesn't like to hotlink
  16. Derwood
    I couldn't think of EVERYONE people!

    We get it, we get it, we're "all not that hot." So to balance out the Hottest Chick poll a little, I offer the "Ugliest Baseball Player" Poll. Vote now so we can see who, in God's great game of Genetics Hold 'Em, was dealt a 7-2 off suit.

    No option for Arli$$?

    When you have an endless pool of minor league talent to fill your lineup holes with, it doesn't take a genius to win. His postseason managing, however, is atrocius. I can accept Guillen more, simply because he really made no managerial mistakes the entire post season. In the NL, I might have considered Frank Robinson or Ned Yost. In the AL, Mike Scoscia (sp?) or Eric Wedge.

    http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=2218718 Wrong and also wrong
  21. Derwood
    McGee and John Candelaria were the missing links. Rivaled by Jon Lieber, Gary Gaetti and Zane Smith But I'll stop threadjacking this into another "Ugliest Ballplayer" discussioon
  22. Derwood
    That would be much better. I would be willing to pay $3-$5 a game if I can just watch them when I want/when I can instead of shelling out $150 for EI and missing half the games
  23. Derwood
    The NFL channel has everything but actual games
  24. Derwood
    Hasta mañana Nomar!
  25. Derwood
    Not anymore. Overpaying to bring back two players who sucked butt last year is asinine. A competent GM would have sent them a Christmas ham and wished them well in their pursuit of employment elsewhere
