I don't hate ND for not being in a conference. I just question their BCS bowl credentials. I was a PSU fan for years during their "independent" years. They had great schedules with Miami, Texas, Alabama, ND, USC, etc. all in the same year. But I'm very satisfied with their choice to join the Big 10. ND is just greedy. They don't want to split bowl or TV revenue. They can hide behind "preserving their rivalries" all they want, but how awesome would this schedule be? : BC STAN USC TENN PSU IOWA MICH MSU PUR OSU NU MINN play a 12 game schedule, keep USC, maybe rotate ou Stanford, Tennessee and BC for BYU, PITT or Army each year. Then you have no controversy about whether the Irish deserve to go to BCS games or not

You can't blame ND for their schedule. They did not shy away from teams. This year it turned out that they did not have a schedule as tough as everyone thought. Not their fault. It not like they schedule weak opponents like C Florida, Cinncinatti, C Michigan or many other weak non-conference games many top 10 teams play. Their schedule has the potential to be just as tough as any BCS conference team. Penn State did have some weak non-conference teams. But to say that those three are any weaker than Army, Navy or Syracuse isn't fair. And no, it isn't ND's fault that their opponents ended up being crappy. But it should certainly count against them in the computer rankings. A second (or even third) place SEC or PAC-10 team will have played more ranked opponents than ND.

Look at it this way: through 2 games we are 1 ahead of last years pace! we will be through three too. All we needed was one rebound too. Oh well its early. The rebounding is horrible right now. How many offensive rebounds have they given up already in 2 games?
-
Oh, and my "Caucasian Sensations" are tied with dArejectsLOL right now. How the hell?

My lord. 3 pages and no strong Neifi Perez/Jose Macias contingency? I'm ashamed of you all!

Truth be told, Notre Dame's "awesomely hard" schedule this year had been somewhat of a bust: PITT: 4-5 MICH: 6-3 MSU: 5-4 WASH: 1-8 PUR: 3-6 USC: 9-0 BYU: 5-4 TENN: 3-5 NAVY: 5-3 SYR: 1-7 STAN: 4-4 TOTAL: 46-49 Not terribly impressive. They deserve what now?
-
No, they should join the Big 10, since they play 3 or 4 Big 10 teams every year already. Oh wait, but then how can they play their "traditional" rivals like the mighty Army?
-
Wow. Unfunny AND offensive! Modzilla?
-
Repeat after me: NOTRE DAME=TV REVENUE NOTRE DAME=TV REVENUE NOTRE DAME=TV REVENUE And you people thought it was about the game.....poor naive souls

Who does the Big 10 Champ play in the Fiesta Bowl? As a PSU fan, I want no part of Miami
-
Fantastic win by NU. And Penn State is OWNING Calhoun and Wisconsin

this devils advocate stance is getting very tired, der. How is being a realist playing devil's advocate? -

Skiles said on ESPN 1000 that Hinrich has a minor sprained ankle and he is between questionable and probable for the Nets game. They had a quote from Heinrich on the Score where he said he's gonna test it out and that he wants to get out there for Saturday's game. He said that he's had worse sprains in that same ankle before. That this one turned out to be a lot more minor than orginally thought. Makes the long time between games an advantage

The Dugout (sorry if this has been posted before)
Derwood replied to Balsa's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
no offense to them, but the dugout is way, way funnier. I meant something that would be up their alley, not something they would have written. -

Lee's chance of winning MVP are 0 in 0. It was his to lose and he lost it. Maybe batting Macias/Perez ahead of him drained his will to live. -
Yep. Let's have Hendry evaluate these guys correctly and make these types of deals. Have we traded a prospect at his highest value? The only one that I can think of that's even close would be Hee Seop. Scott Downs for Rondell White Miguel Batista for Henry Rodriguez Harris/Beltran for Nomar
-
Now if only the Bulls hadn't played like total crizzap the first 3 quarters. I have never seen such terrible rebounding and horrible play under the basket. But a win is a win. Hey Sean, Hey Raymond....welcome to YOUR Charlotte Bobcats!

All week DirecTV has a "freeview" of NBA League Pass. Game tonight is on channel 758
-
I already did. Does anyone know if it opened up at 10.5 Also I am not so sure about ND. Tenn has given up only 3 passing TD's all year, and they are a couple of turnovers away from being a top 10 team IMO. I think the game will be close, and ND may not be able to pull this one out. I definately love Tennessee at +8 1/2, but I can never bet against ND. my paper listed it at 10 this morning
-
you might want to make sure you've got the right day selected. Yahoo fixed it. It wasn't working earlier. Damn you Manu Ginobli! Stupid 10 points
-
OK, why is everyone on my team listed as Not Active? Damn you Yahoo!
