Verdell isn't as good as any of the 3 guards that are freshmen for us this year. He's had a good game, but he's really not that great of a player. (yet, still has serious TO concerns and isn't enough of a shooter to make up for it) He's benefited greatly from the playing time he's been able to get. He absolutely made the right call(which I critiqued at the time) because he wouldn't have gotten the game experience at Minnesota that he's received at IU
-
And Michigan is out of the tournament.
-
I've never seen this site before. Pretty great. http://statsheet.com/mcb/teams/illinois

You cannot play defense here.
-
I think Michigan was stunned Rivers actually shot the ball.
-
Oh come on he had 599 PAs last year. You're being incredibly strict if you don't consider that a full season. -
Pomeroy had them (ever so slightly) favored in this game. If Michigan loses this, it's pretty much their season.
-
Fuld would be the defense 1st, 5th OF. I'm not a huge Fuld fan, but I think I'm gonna be pretty pissed if he's not on the major league roster to start the year (cause it likely means we signed some speedy trash like Nook Logan to be the backup CF.)
-
No brainers are Lee '05 and Sosa '01. I assume you're including bench/bullpen in which case you have to have Hollandsworth '04, Ward '07, Fontenot '08, Marmol '07, Farnsworth '01, Gooz '09

Backloaded contracts are good. This is actually a pretty good deal. And Praise baby Jesus that it wasn't for Podsednik
-
Soriano wasn't a poor fielder until this season.
-
Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahahahhahaaahahahahhaa

It's Bruce Weber's MO to lose to crappy teams on our home court. I am growing tired of this [expletive] even with the upturn in recruiting We're the crappy team.
-
Keller shoots every [expletive] time he gets the ball.
-
Perhaps we should consider playing perimeter defense against the team full of white guys less athletic than me
-
What a [expletive] Kramer flop

Trade Market for Z

Zell turned a healthy profit on the Cubs and still owns .05 of them. To think oterwise is looney. I typed too fast for my brain there, I don't recall what Zell paid for the Cubs, (it wasn't the 1B # that B2B believes wasn't true or something) he may have made a profit -

Throwing blind faith in a "businessman"'s ability to make money is a pretty surefire way to lose your own. I don't doubt that there's creative accounting going on to help some owners cry poor, but to say no owner could possibly lose money (just write it off!) and to say Zell turned a profit is looney. -

Kramer, is that you? When Zell purchased the Tribune, the Cubs were reported to be worth $1B, they sold for much less two years later. The Tribune bought them for $20 million in the 80's, so they turned a pretty good profit on their investment. Also, what the Cubs were reported to be worth is different than what they were really worth. I'm sure the people who are paid to evaluate what these things are worth were wrong, and sports franchises managed to gain value while everything else in the world was losing it's worth. You should know. -
I generally watch it, but just because it's football. It's not football.
-
Can somebody explain why in the hell the Rockets would even consider that trade? The Bulls get the 2 best players, dump bad contracts, and get an expiring deal?
-
So how little does the previous year's success matter? Was the world series window wide open for the '04 Tigers? All their good players were young and they had a blank check.
-
The Cubs world series window was wide open when they were coming off of a 66 win season?

Week 16: Bears vs. Vikings, Mon. 7:30 P.M., ESPN
SouthSideRyan replied to NCCubFan's topic in Other Sports
But the Vikings got the ball, and probably in better field position than if they received a kickoff. -
Chris Kramer fouls on every possession
