Sureeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. Just because USC and UCLA did that a couple of years ago doesn't mean squat. It's not doucey, it's gimmicky, and Alabama football and more important Nick Saban football doesn't need or required gimmicks. So just because Alabama said no to the crimson .v. orange jersey doesn't make it doucey, crying about something so trivial now that says douchebaggery. Really? It's just a gimmick? So, all those Bear Bryant vs. General Neyland battles that had Bama in the crimson jerseys and Tennessee in orange were gimmicky? So, Bear Bryant was gimmicky, while CNS is not? That is what you're saying, right? You also say further down that it's competitive advantage, but didn't CNS say just last season when Georgia broke out black jerseys that it did not matter what color jerseys teams wore? I'm sure he did. I guess I shouldn't expect more from a fanbase who thinks it's the NCAA's fault that they are deemed "repeat serial offenders" of NCAA rules. It's always someone else's fault, and we never do wrong. Typical Bammer mindset.

In other Vols-Tide news, Nick Saban sunk to a new level of douchebagness today. Tennessee asked for permission to wear their Orange jerseys into Tuscaloose (and thus rekindle an old-fashioned tradition of Tennessee always wearing Orange and Alabama always wearing Crimson in this matchup), and despite the conference giving it to okay, Saban turns down Tennessee. This is historical, as these teams wore their colors against one another well into the '60's. Just a douchey move.

I think Alabama wins a closer-than-expected game over the Vols. As dew has pointed out, Monte Kiffin will force McElroy to beat Tennessee, and I'm just not sure he's capable of doing that. If Alabama gets their stable of backs untracked and manages to sustain long drives, depth becomes a major factor and Tennessee wears out. Should Tennessee's defense or special teams put points on the board, this game will be decided by 7 points or less, and I will not be surprised if the Vols win. Again, I expect Alabama's talent level to win this game, but gameplan will be a Tennessee advantage. I just don't think they have the horses to execute that gameplan well enough to win.

You can read the thread for details. One team is potentially open. Entry fee is $17.

He has not answered multiple trade offers, or PM's here, on CBS, or two different emails. Not looking good for Kyle to stick around another year.

Everyone makes out like a bandit except for the Cubs. I think the possibility of a trade like this ever coming to fruition is near zero, but I don't quite understand your assessment that every team but the Cubs make out like bandits. How does adding Crawford and Peavy for a DH with a bad attitude, a declining pitcher, and two decent but not spectacular prospects somehow not benefit the Cubs? You think the Sox (Burrell and Zambrano) make out better than the Cubs (Crawford and Peavy) in this scenario? I don't see it.

De Nada. Kennedy has to be rostered on your MLB roster. No one can be added via free agency. Hope that helps!

Corrected. Good catch.

Upton is exempt. That was a transfer error on my part. Good catch. Feliz can be kept wherever you'd like, but he still has MiLB eligibility. Ian Kennedy has surpassed 50 career IP and cannot be kept on your minor league roster. Blanks did indeed exceed the limit and this is his frist exemption. Minor League roster expansion does not occur until the draft.
-
Definitely better looking than a couple other rosters. Teams with only 4 or 5 exempt players have put themselves into a deep hole for 2010 already.
