    Check out the stickied 2007 schedule thread above. We end in Cinci too...

    Carr was pissed that Wisconsin was burning timeouts in a game that was already decided. I think it was a pretty bush move however

    Reporter: What was with that 3 down at the end (something like that) Lloyd Carr: ....well it was third down wasn't it? Reporter: Going for the score? Lloyd Carr: yeah It sounded funnier then I typed it

    They are at home, isn't it every Big 10 referee's job to ensure that the home team gets a majority of the calls? Or does that only happen in basketball?
  5. UMFan83
    I agree. All that matters is what happens between noon and 3:15 PM tomorrow. I haven't been this confident about a sports team in a long time, so for me I would be pretty disapointed if we lost. Yes I know teams don't go undefeated, and this Bears team will take its share, but I don't see it happening tomorrow with division control at stake. Too much motivation to win.
  6. UMFan83
    Sweet, I guess I motivated them. Manningham might win a Heisman before his days at Michigan are over.
  7. UMFan83
    I knew this Wisky game was a trap game....this just proves that there is 0% chance that Michigan makes it to Columbus undefeated.
  8. UMFan83
    I for one didn't say that. I never truely believed in the dominance of the Bears last year. If they did go to the Super Bowl, it was based on a weak NFC.
  9. UMFan83
    See this is starting to bug me....everyone is trying to psyche me out on this game saying how great the Vikings are and how great a home field advantage the Metradome is..... I just don't by either. The Vikings have played one bad team and one decent team without its superstar and barely won both times. The Bears have demolished their opponent both weeks (albeit bad opponents). I am not predicting a blowout, just a good solid convincing win. How about 20-10?
  10. UMFan83
    Wait is the game really over or are you guys being premature?
  11. UMFan83
    You have the Reds wrong. According to their schedule, they are at Wrigley Sept 17, 18 and 19th (which you dont have)you have them in Cincy on Aug 27-29 which is not on their schedule. (see http://cincinnati.reds.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/schedule/tentative.jsp?c_id=cin&year=2007) Kasey My bad, I got the Month wrong on one of them, and completely missed the other. Thanks for the heads up
  12. UMFan83
    Updated with the Reds schedule. Looks like we'll be opening and closing the 2007 at GAB (save a miraculous playoff appearence that is)
  13. UMFan83
    Awesome, thanks!

    What are we talking about in dollar figures? $3 million in buyout + lets say 2 year, 8 million plus incentives means we are paying Wood a base $7 million this year to be a relief pitcher (with probably a hidden adjenda to move him back to a starter again) and at least $4 million next year. Seems way too much to me. Must we pay big time to watch a pitcher rehab yet again? Thanks for the memories Kerry, I really enjoyed the 98 and 03 seasons, here is $3 million have fun at Ameriquest Field (stay away from Minute Maid!!!)

    http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=2597721 The Twins and A's are both going to the playoffs this year. Try another lame excuse. I think he's referring to the two 120+ million juggernauts in his own division. They spend far more then any team in the AL Central and West. The White Sox are the next closest I think and their payroll is like 30 million less then the Red Sox That's fine, but either the Twins or Tigers are going to the playoffs with a modest payroll - as the wild card, which is something Angelos' team could win without having to beat both the Yankees and the Red Sox. Should have found some way to get that Tejada + for Prior trade :twisted:

    Remember when this season started we were ecstatic to see Bruce posting the lineups so we could break it down for 3 pages. It must be rough to cover these last 9 names when absolutely nobody is thinking about the Cubs right now. Edit: Nice! Soto with another start, Jock sitting this one out
  17. UMFan83
    Its a shame how far my hockey knowledge has dropped. 10 years ago I could have named your players, what lines they were on, etc for about 20 teams. Now I think I can name more players on NHL 95 then I can actually playing right now. Don't get me wrong, I love hockey, its a fantastic sport to watch and follow, but for some reason when the Blackhawks died, my following of the NHL died with it. Doesn't work that way with baseball for me.
  18. UMFan83
    Yep. Him and his wife both have. I sent him a message asking them to both keep picking against the Bears. The funny thing is that the Bears were his sleeper team every week last year. Now they are overrated or something.
  19. UMFan83
    Simmons picks against the Bears (ATS, even though its only 3 points). I believe hes picked against the Bears (again, ATS) all 3 weeks too.
  20. UMFan83
    This is in minor league forum but I guess it's important to post in here too.
  21. UMFan83
    I bet we'll get blamed for it.
  22. UMFan83
    BTW, the more I think about it, the more the 2006 White Sox paralell the 2004 Cubs. -The year prior both teams made long playoff runs (of course the Sox won it and the Cubs didn't) -Both teams upgraded considerably in the offseason and looked better on paper heading in -Expectations were sky high for both teams coming into the year -Both teams fell behind the division pace in the early-mid summer months and conceded playing for the wild card -Both teams led the chase up into the final few weeks when a collapse caused them to be eliminated. That said, at least the White Sox aren't complaining and whining like little girls
  23. UMFan83
    Ignore his BA and look at his OBP and tell me if he had a good year. I give him a C-
  24. UMFan83
    3 out of the 6 experts so far have chosen the Vikings. Geez how many more points do we have to beat our opponents by to get some respect.
