    I have a hard time seeing some of those underclassmen coming back after they've boosted their stock with a final 4 run.

    Been good in the previous years? Keeping Pagan or Grissom around because they can back up CF is a horrible waste. Hairston isn't great out there but he can pass for it to give Pierre 10 games off for the year.

    They probably stole it from me cause I say No doubt all the time. It's called compensation. When someone has to tell you how honest they are, you can bet they're dirty. And when someone keeps saying no doubt about it, you can bet they are full of doubts. I HAVE NO SELF ESTEEM!

    uh, it wasn't a signing. they purchased his contract from the mets. if they lose him, oh no - a few thousand dollars lost. big deal. But they won't give up on him. He's gonna clog a spot on the 40 man for no damn reason.

    You got it all wrong. He brings "damage."
  7. SouthSideRyan
    lol. You'll be happy to know that he's be assigned to AAA Round Rock. It looks like Buchholz has the 5th spot locked up. I keep praying that Steve Sparks is going to be released. Steve Sparks is still alive? If you were a left-handed knuckleballer who was an emergency catcher would you not have to retire til you were like 78?

    I guess Florida won't be beating George Mason then.

    Do players get additional options if they are traded? Nope. Acquiring anybody for our 40 man roster right now just makes no sense unless they're a big difference maker. The 40 man is already full and Miller and possibly Grissom need to fit on there somehow. That Pagan signing was really stupid.

    I blame all of this on Texas A&M.
  11. SouthSideRyan
    To clarify, I was in no way supporting the drafting of Paul Davis. I'm just that against the drafting of Glen Davis.
  12. SouthSideRyan
    That 3rd one is hideous. The 1st one, pretty much every Cub fan I know has, so I wouldn't get it, but you don't have to worry that much about having similar hats I'd imagine.

    Whoops, I wound up confusing this thread with the basketball thread on another board I was posting on. I thought the previous poster had said that about UW. The actual Final 4 teams record in my bracket(Records of FL, GM, LSU, and UCLA in my picks): 3-4 This is the first time I can remember not having a single final 4 team right. At least I was in it til last night.
  14. SouthSideRyan
    I merely responded to somebody making the ridiculous claim that Washington deserved to be in the Final 4. I don't see the point in letting that slide by. I didn't see the game, so I will refrain from commenting on it. There is no guarantee, however, than UofI would have advanced any farther than the next game had they won, so it's really beating a dead horse now. Wasn't my argument, I'm quite sure UConn's bigs would've destroyed Illinois, but to say Washington should be in the Final 4 is just plain wrong.

    I think I'd rather have Paul Davis than Glen Davis.

    Maybe my SD St. problem was overstated, but Mason IS LOCATED IN DC. No team other than a 1 should get a game in their home city/next door city.
  18. SouthSideRyan
    I agree too - though NC didn't play any better, they were just ridiculously talented. Had Illinois not lost their composure and run their offense, they should have won that game. I would have to say that the four teams today were far better than those yesterday. That UCLA win was an awful awful game. Plus, how did a 1 seed end up playing a road game in the elite eight? UCLA never should have been in that region. If that's the case, Gonzaga shouldn't have been in Oakland either. And Mason certainly shouldn't have been in DC. And Wilmington with a home game as a 9 seed. Arkansas in Dallas. San Diego St. potentially in Oakland. The committee did a horrible job this year, the problem is, stupid talking heads like Packer ripped them for the things they actually did right like the MVC and CAA teams.

    The Memphis/UCLA game was one of the worst I've ever seen. Ever.
  20. SouthSideRyan
    While the refs may not have been perfect, they in no way "gave the game" to Washington. There's a quote somewhere around here from that goat Jensen about his brilliant defensive strategy against Augustine in the 2nd half. Can't remember the exact quote but it was somethign along the lines of I just kept grabbing him and pushing him around to stop him from getting the ball. Jensen had 1 foul. Re: LSU vs. NC/UI Yes, in a couple years if the team stayed together(they definitely won't) they could be on par with last year's teams. But that's not the argument at all. Comparing Mitchell to Head/Williams/McCants is absurd.
  21. SouthSideRyan
    I think LSU could very well beat either of those teams, if they could overcome the lack of experience. LSU wouldn't stand a chance. UNC had a better Davis in Sean May along with FAR superior supporting players. Illinois played a better Glen Davis down to the wire against a team with FAR superior supporting players. LSU couldn't handle either of those teams' guards. I think Arizona, Oklahoma St., and Michigan St. of last year would win it all as well. I'm not gonna go back over my Washington/Illinois game review again. If you didn't see it, it was one sided foul calls against Illinois. If you did see it then you're a pac-10 homer/illinois hater.
  22. SouthSideRyan
    I'm shocked at the SEC's performance, I will give them loads of credit as Florida was the only SEC team I even had winning a 1st round game. Pac10 not so much. Washington had their sweet 16 handed to them, and they still barely made it, and UCLA played one of the worst college basketball wins I've ever seen last night.
  23. SouthSideRyan
    Joe Morgan and Dusty Baker use conventional baseball wisdom. There's your insult.
  24. SouthSideRyan
    Ohhhhh CuseCubFan!!! Come out come out wherever you are!!

    Name one team that does that when the shot clock isn't winding down or they're not trying to get back into a game while they're trailing. And no, Dee Brown won't amount to much more than an 8th man in the NBA. The relevance of that is completely lost on me though. I don't know if that was sarcasm or not, but the NBA is not a good environment for undersized guards. Dee can't create his own shot, and since the NBA is a series of glorified 1 on 1 games, he won't be able to develop into much.
