    I'm sure it can all be figured out but I thought ND was pretty much locked into the ACC if they join a conference. Plus they almost certainly will not join a conference unless absolutely forced too. And if they did join a conference they seem to have little appetite to join the Big Ten despite multiple reasons it makes a lot of sense. If Oregon and Washington want to join the Big 10 I feel like they should do it.

    Guess were not penciling in Sampson's name next to Steele and Thompson in next year's rotation

    lmao, guessing thats the last of the MLE and will avoid the tax. I'm not sure what the point is as he's ok defensively but doesn't solve any of the major issues the Bulls had last year.

    That series was depressing af. Nearly forgotten about it until now. Thanks. The one that killed me was DeRosa grounding into a double play with the bases loaded and 1 out against a washed up Livan Hernandez down 3-1. Believe it was on a 3-1 count too after Livan walked the bases loaded and the pitch was going to be a ball. Sorry, I just made it worse didn't I?

    I remember when we used to refer to him as One Pitch Rich or OPR for short. Boggles my mind that he's still playing. Other Rich Hill facts: -This will be the 5th time facing the Cubs in his career (not including playoffs). The only team to face Rich Hill less in his career are the Dodgers -His career 1.74 ERA against the Cubs is the best against any opponent by a considerable margin -He has also dominated the Cubs in the playoffs, allowing 1 run in 11 innings in his 2 starts (both Cubs losses). He also sort of dominated the Cubs in his lone postseason start for the Cubs, allowing 3 runs in 3 IP in an elimination game against the Diamondbacks.

    So we signed a slightly taller Tristan Thompson

    In things that will be much easier to divide when Civil War 2 happens. 11.2 of the 16 Big Ten Schools will be in 2020 Blue States. The 4.8 in red states: Iowa, 80% of Nebraska, Ohio State, Indiana, Purdue Conversely, 15 of 16 SEC schools will be in 2020 Red States. Only Georgia plays in a blue (for now) state

    Rotate title game between there and Indy? And McCaskeyville right? Right??

    Bamba, Boucher, Hartenstein, some I'm forgetting and even some of the wing options that I've seen mentioned like Oladipo and PJ Tucker are off the table. I'm guessing the Bulls are going after Gallinari Rim protector would be nice (though I'm more wanting to replace Vooch than back him up), but I think I'd prefer Gallinari to any of the bigs who have signed. Doesn't play D, but has size and can shoot. 2 birds, 1 stone guy. Doesnt seem like that's happening either, though certainly could change

    I only see two reported deals (Monk and Jordan) there have been dozens of signings already. woj and shams are tweeting every minute Bamba, Boucher, Hartenstein, some I'm forgetting and even some of the wing options that I've seen mentioned like Oladipo and PJ Tucker are off the table. I'm guessing the Bulls are going after Gallinari

    Basically every rumored big man target we've heard connected to the Bulls has signed with other teams over the first 10 minutes of FA
  14. UMFan83
    So much for signing as soon as FA opens

    More details

    Cant wait to see this at the end of Michigan's schedule @ Rutgers @ UCLA vs. Ohio State
  18. UMFan83
    Agreed, but I think it will just be 2 super conferences. This is a seismic move for college football, probably bigger than OU and Texas just because it gives us a second super conference
  19. UMFan83
    What the hell? lol If so, welcome Raisin! Edit: I see this was posted in the CFB offseason thread right before this but I think its noteworthy enough news that will lead to more realignment that its worth its own thread, but mods can delete if they'd like

    What upsets me is that the rumors are that the Bulls wont use the full MLE because it would take them over the luxury tax. If you remember, they gave Tristan Thompson the full bi-annual exemption during the season which prevented them from being able to use it this summer, which also screams luxury tax avoidance. Despite the highest ticket prices and constantly high attendance, JR is still fine with having a middle of the road payroll (sound familiar?) I'm not saying they need to go into the tax just to go into the tax but if we lose a target because they won't slightly go into the tax, that's a problem. It's possible they want to avoid the repeater tax and plan on going all in next summer with Vuc's contract off the books I guess.

    Not sure if he’s actually making adjustments but Morel is coming out of his swan dive. Great to see
  22. UMFan83
    I mean he should be barred from being an agent if that’s true. That’s negligence regardless but especially if the player was wanting to sign/stay somewhere and he never was told about an offer and guided to a different spot. What would be Close’s motivation for doing this? Some sort of collusion with LA? The two offers were pretty similar (I’ve heard when factoring in taxes, Atlanta’s was more) so it’s not like he’d get some sort of huge bump in commission for the deal. Yeah maybe getting kickbacks from the Dodgers for steering him that way?

    I forgot how many teams Farnsworth was on after leaving the Cubs. I always pictured him as mostly a Cub except for the last couple years but he actually played 10 seasons after leaving Chicago and played for the Tigers, Braves, Yankees, Royals, Rays, Pirates, Mets and Astros.

    9-9 against the Brewers (5-5) and Cardinals (4-4) 7-11 against the Pirates (5-8) and Reds (2-3)
