I don't think that's legal. Just a social call, to see how he's handling the loss and IF THERE'S ANYTHING HE CAN DO TO HELP *wink* -
ha ha ha oh man

Liverwurst, probably

So Much Bunting

The A's pen just blew Lester's lead, so I hope Theo is calling his cell phone right now

Stealing third in that situation takes huge balls

oh FFS, A's

They complain that the playoffs stretch into November, then let the TV stations dictate their schedule. So stupid

Looking at the programs you mentioned, the common theme seems to be poor coaching decisions in the face of a variety of circumstances. Tennessee and Texas had long established coaches who were more or less forced out due to fan/booster pressure, with inadequate replacements coming in. Penn State had the opposite issue, with Paterno overstaying his usefulness (scandal aside). USC had some mediocre years, but even when they were going 7-5, they were beating good teams and not losing by 5 scores like Michigan is. I'm not sure what the heck AD's at these schools are doing, but there is really no excuse for a blue blood program to settle for anything less than the elite coaching options available to them. Rolling the dice on an up and comer or settling for a guy with school-ties is a little dumbfounding. That said, the fans are as fickle as ever. They're already turning on Urban Meyer here in Columbus. Elite coaching options aren't as cut and dried of a category as you make it appear. Clearly not, but in many cases, everyone can see a disaster coming. Whiffing on Les Miles and settling for Hoke was such a case

Will you find it hard to get excited about a FA pitcher until the Cubs actually sign one, or you will not be excited even after they sign one for some irrational "money wasting" phobia? Not sure about Banedon, but I won't be hanging on every tweet and news report about potential signings this off season.

It's kind of amazing that a "blue blood" football program can sink as low as Michigan has this year. There have been teams that have been mediocre, but Michigan is getting its doors blown in

Pittsburgh by 6.5 over Jaxonville seems like easy money

KU should hire Dave Wennstedt for the lulz

Looking at the schedule a month ago, 2-2 sounded about right -
terrible play on 4th and goal
-
O's/Nats or Bucs/A's in the World Series. Every other team can pound sand

I hope so but I doubt it. Cam will torch this team. Cam might night be able to get out of bed this week. He's beat to hell -
Hopefully PSU uses this bye week to maybe learn how to execute basic run plays

So many bad teams this year
