I've never watched one of these. I feel dirty.
-
Late breaking word that UNC-Wilmington could pull it off in the end.
-
I need a more productive hobby
-
Early signing ends on the 20th. If he verbals and plans to sign in the Spring, yeesh.
-
So what your saying is...no one has a clue Pretty much. Jerry Meyer would've been best served to sit this one out rather than keep flipping. Even if he ends up correct, what predictive value does it show?
-
That's silly
-
Because that's [expletive] stupid?
-
I think cliff could have committed at any time. I very much doubt he was told to wait till okafor committed elsewhere. The disparity between the two isn't great enough to make cliff a conditional offer. It is when Okafor comes with Jones Or when you can [expletive] tell him to wait and see and still get him in the end anyway
-
Alexander and Okafor didn't want to play together, it was pretty well known that Self was prioritizing Okafor/Jones
-
And Jerrance Howard can go [expletive] himself. I never want to see him on campus again
-
Black committed before Snider and when we were barely a longshot for Alexander.
-
The snider thing was a raw deal. Still not convinced your not getting big cliff. You got him, it is breaking everywhere. Another star leaves the state. The hell with college basketball. If Alexander goes to Kansas, it just shows that showing kids they're your #1 priority means nothing. Self told him he was their backup plan, Snider was recruited over, and they both go crawling back?
-
Yep. Snider originally committed to Louisville then decommitted 6 months or so ago because he was being recruited over. (Jaquan Lyle verbaled, then decommitted shortly after this) Pitino supposedly doesn't re-recruit decommits. Nothing in terms of smoke until Snider's LOI didn't come in on Wednesday. Staff believed he was still on board until after he signed with Louisville. It's garbage

Offseason Rumors
SouthSideRyan replied to Clem Fandango's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
THIS! There's precious little Offseason Rumors in this thread. Seems like every topic degenerates into the same tiresome discussion. Maybe start a Ricketts Sucks/Whining/We're Doomed thread for this stuff? Maybe it's the cubs that have become tiresome. Their offseasons haven't exactly been intriguing. Before Ricketts it was Hendry and before that Tribune Company. There will always be something. The point is it doesn't have to dominate every [expletive] thread on the forum. This thread would be about 3 pages if it stayed on topic. There are plenty of people who care about the offseason buzz. The only people who care about the endless Poor Tom Ricketts bs are those perpetuating it. But they go hand in hand, the offseason has been limited the past 3 years because Ricketts is a cheap ass. How can you separate the 2? -
I didn't notice a mocking tone when we weren't on a 5 year run of being one of the worst teams in baseball. Only the Astros have been worse since we were last good.

Yeah, the best case scenario shouldn't be hopefully making the playoffs a few times after 5 years of suck. Tom Ricketts is a miserable failure -
Offseason Rumors
SouthSideRyan replied to Clem Fandango's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
If you lose 100 games your major league team is [expletive] terrible and will not compete the year after you lose 100 games. if we lose 100 [expletive] games this season, I don't even know what to say -
Offseason Rumors

Haven't we been stealth bidders on a bunch of guys we didn't get. It's starting to mean to me that we'll sign him if there's no market for him. -
Kids didn't know who Bear Bryant was either. It takes a hell of a long time for a blueblood to be down before they lose their status. Nobody's choosing the Georgia or A&M job over the Nebraska job. ETA: Maybe an SEC fanboy like TT would.
-
lol, it's not that the refereeing was biased, it's that the new rules don't let our grab everyone's jersey defense work anymore. Poor Indiana.
-
Weird that I like New Orleans?
-
I don't remember exactly how they broke down the math on the slide (if they did), but weren't they counting the $25 Million that rooftop owners are making? If so, that is very fuzzy math because the rooftop money is not necessarily money that would go in the Cubs pocket if the rooftops didn't exist. After the Wrigley renovations are complete and new TV deals are in place, I don't ever want to hear this type of excuse again to justify why they can't build a winning team. I didn't note specific numbers on each breakdown, but they definitely said part of it was they weren't getting full revenue from rooftop tickets. It was [expletive]
-
Nebraska is a better job than A&M and Georgia

At least an update to the collegiatecub Roast. Throw us a bone.

Offseason Rumors

Don't know where this fits best, but here's a mock offseason organized by a guy over on BTF. Not sure how accurate it will wind up being, but I'd guess these could be decent approximations for contract sizes FAs will be looking for. http://www.royalsreview.com/2013/11/11/5087240/sb-nation-winter-meetings-simulation-debriefing
