1 less point than we had all last game.

Chet won't be gone. Apparently he has an offer to be a graduate asssistant. He needs to go elsewhere if he wants to be a coach. i won't mind him as a coach. tie game when we've outplayed them this half by a wide margin. me either, but he needs to see someone else's style. Can't just stay with one guy or you end up like a Duke assistant. I don't imagine him going straight from Illinois grad assistant to assistant coach. I'd imagine he'd do that here, then go to a smaller program as an assistant, with an eye on coming back when a spot opens up.

He's 2-5 and one was a shot clock rush.

Why would they choose Anderson over Izzo?
-
Kenny Williams is intent on trading away every overweight southside girl's favorite player. He trades away/lets walk like 3 of them every offseason. -
Kansas is going to win the conference again. Congrats Big 12. Maybe if KU lost every player and had to play IU style, one of you could step up and win that thing outright. Self has to be coach of the year. if kansas wins the big 12 i'd have no problem with self winning COTY nationally, but if anyone besides anderson wins big 12 COTY i'll lose my [expletive]. That doesn't make any damn sense.

Raisin's gotta be slitting his wrists over this one. I now hate Taylor Rocheste. What a stupid name.
-
I snoozed my alarm 20 times(not an exaggeration) because I set it for 11, and somebody told me the U of I game was on early today. By the time I had the energy to check the time of the game it was 12:40. The game is tomorrow. Davidson sucks.

Final Bench Job Hoffpauir's to Lose

The point(at least my point) is you don't worry about an emergency catcher when deciding who your final roster spot goes to. -
4 more years of this ish?

The IU football one was funny. And true. Yeah, I thought that was the best part. The handshake one got a laugh out of me too.

Bonds just opted out of the licensing deal IIRC, he's still a member of the union.

How is it a no brainer to hold on to the worst of your 5 OFs? Because Byrnes wasn't a prospect with trade value. Young and Upton were the top two of the remaining four. They traded the bottom two. Did you skip the last 15 posts or so? The issue was choosing Byrnes over Gonzalez and Quentin back in August.

Matt Craig signed elsewhere because we woulda sent him to Peoria this year to get some work in at bullpen catcher. Lou Piniella still hates Fox from 2007. Casey McGehee was the worst Cub in the last 50 years. -
Wisconsin's hot streak has a lot to do with their schedule these last 5 games. Same way their schedule had a lot to do with their 6 game losing streak.
-
Justin Upton made his major league debut 5 days before Byrnes signed his extention
-
How is it a no brainer to hold on to the worst of your 5 OFs? The ink was dry on his contract. As I said, the crowded OF didn't all of a sudden come up in October. They knew what they had when they signed that moronic contract. Whether it was pressure from Moorad as rumored, or Byrnes falling in love with the grit, it was a terrible decision.
-
Fourth or fifth. Carlos Gonzalez and Carlos Quentin was better than him and so was Brett Anderson. Gio Gonzalez might have. They were separate trades. Quentin went for Carter. Gonzalez and De Los Santos went for Swisher Carter, CarGo, Cunningham, Smith, Eveland and Anderson went for Haren & Connor Robertson.

Carlos Quentin didn't appear out of nowhere. Eric Byrnes didn't suck out of nowhere. And Chris Carter certainly wasn't what acquired Dan Haren. There were six players involved in that trade and Carter was probably the 3rd best prospect of the 6.
-
Right, they extended the thoroughly mediocre Byrnes for his career year that wasn't really that great to begin with. All the while knowing they had Quentin rotting in AAA and Upton just about ready to play. It's not like mediocre corner OFs were in high demand, you can find an Eric Byrnes anywhere, the best they could've expected was him being Reggie Sanders. That's not something you make sure to lock up.

Why would any non-Mormon's #1 memorabilia be Steve Young's '95 Super Bowl ring??

If you don't think Rich Hill '07 could compete in any division, then I don't know what to say. I don't understand why so many people hate Rich Hill. It'll forever baffle me.
