  1. LOL [expletive] off Philly three top prospects probably means different things to different people. It says right there in the quote "the Phils want "two that can play right now and another that isn’t far away."
  2. There is literally no reason to spend another minute watching this team this year.
  3. PSU playing for a chance to get hammered in a December bowl game. Yay?
  4. The funny thing is, if you go back to the 2013 draft thread, a LOT of you guys were unhappy with the Bryant pick
  5. After averaging 1 yard/carry against Maryland, PSU is averaging 1.3 vs IU. I know the roster is thin, but the utter lack of improvement (or regression) of this team through 8+ games is remarkable
  6. So "signing player X would have cost us Kris Bryant" is the meme this off season?
  7. It sucked every year. Where were you?
  8. Striving for a conference championship is loser talk. If you're good enough to win your conference, you should absolutely have NC aspirations
  9. Nobody ever thought a four team playoff would diminish the regular season. It's more the 8 team and especially the 16 team that would diminish it. 16 is too much, but I think the regular season matchups between the teams competing for spots would still have a ton of meaning. That aside, I find that the games this year feel like they have more meaning when the field is 4 instead of 2. If we were in a BCS format right now, the only thing that would matter would be MSST and FSU's games until/unless one of them lost. Now we have several games per week that are impactful and important
  10. Anyone who argues that a playoff diminishes the regular season must be ignoring the 4-6 games every week that have major playoff implications
  11. So.....Pau Gasol, still pretty good
  12. EdHardyBall just doesn't have the same ring to it
  13. If I get banned tomorrow, I can sleep well knowing I made that
  14. Was Maddon TRYING to look like Harry Caray at that presser?
  15. Ben Oglive for bench coach
  16. Less impressive when you see who they've beaten. 3 of the 4 worst teams in the league, the mediocre Saints in Cleveland, and the schizophrenic Steelers. and they lost to Jacksonville
  17. And the 49ers are 4-4 now. as is New Orleans
  18. Cleveland is 5-3, guys
  19. So I take it you're embarrassed by PSU's Big Ten slate? Yes
  20. Just be properly embarrassed like you should be. I would be embarrassed if my suck-ass PSU team played those schools
  21. http://www.reactiongifs.com/r/szg.gif
  22. at least half your team isn't injured :banghead:
  23. Mostly skipped a generation unfortunately for me. But I have a brother that played on Cincinnati Bearcats final four team with Van Exel and Corie Blount. His son is a freshman on a basketball scholarship at Urbana U, but will be a D1 transfer. Have 3 other college aged nephews playing football. One D1 for ULM. One for FCS SIU, but he will be drafted next year. Another playing D3, but he was on scholarship at Oklahoma until he blew that with grades. Had 2 uncles and a much older cousin be all state basketball players in Indiana, one of which went pro in Greece. I also have a niece that's a contender for all state in HS basketball. And a 6' tall 13-year old nephew who's dad is in the NFL. And my soon to be 5-year old son is ridiculously good at basketball for his age (can maintain a dribble and make baskets on a full size rim with a girl's ball or from about 10-12 feet with a kids size ball). Sorry for the not so humble bragging. If it makes people feel any better, I sucked in high school at baseball and was just a mediocre football player. I did make IU's team as a walk-on but quit while like 6th on the depth chart at OLB. Lol Whereas I have the least atetic family ever (though extraordinarily accomplished academically)
