Did anyone catch BBTN's shot @ Cubs fans last night?
dew1679666265 replied to Schwarber Fan's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
This is good stuff. I don't understand what it means, but it's good stuff. -
That's good to hear about the scrimmage. I've been hearing a lot about Eric Berry playing QB some this year, but I'm not thrilled with the idea. Let Gerald Jones run some G-gun and then let Crompton play the rest of the snaps. When you have a good QB, you don't want to pull him out any more than that. And I'm shocked Poole is gaining so much on Creer. Nothing against Poole, but I am a huge Lennon Creer fan and I'm surprised to see him falling a bit out of favor. It just shows that the tailback position is ridiculously stacked for Tennessee, though. I doubt there's much Chow and Neuheisel can do this early. Playing with your 3rd string QB and with as empty as Dorrell left the offense doesn't give them many options at all. Especially against what should be a 2005-esque Tennessee defense. And I like our starting DTs. Demonte Bolden, Dan Williams and Walter Fischer will be very good, I think, but I question the depth. So long as we don't have injuries, I probably give the advantage at DT to UT as well.

I'll be pulling for you this year. :D

As am I, dew. I'm really looking forward to seeing what Berry, Morley, Willingham, and Vinson do against UCLA's 3rd stringer. 27-13, UT. (One score is on defense or special teams.) Eric Berry may come close to Peyton Manning and Al Wilson as my favorite Vols of all time the way he's going. I think the score will be a bit larger, probably closer to 35-14. It'll be close at the half, but UCLA's D will tire out because of no offensive help. Plz go easy on us. I'll see that Fulmer gets the message. :D

If this is the case, I don't understand why we don't just start Marquis on short rest(with a limited pitch count) and have Marshall ready to back him up. Keeps guys in their familiar roles. There's a good chance raw is right and maybe Lou is looking at Marshall as potentially starting. That certainly explains the odd move tonight.

coffee? aren't you in HS? If you need coffee to get you through HS, real life is going to suck something awful for you. Maybe I worded that wrong, I had a cup of coffee in the morning and I felt good all day. Just for the record, at least half the kids in high school drink coffee and the other half drink energy drinks. When I thought I was tired in HS, I'd have a pop first thing in the morning (great, I know). I can't imagine drinking coffee at 16/17 years old. I never drank coffee in HS, but I did down some after a couple of my many all-nighters in college. It's amazing how tired you can be after not sleeping at all the night before because you've been studying and coffee can give you the quick burst of energy you need for the exam.

The question is, who's going to win the game? :wink:
-
:yahoo: Finally, the best time of the year is upon us my friends! I'm excited to see the offense under Dave Clawson (OC) and Jonathon Crompton (QB). It'll likely be rocky early - thus letting UCLA remain in the game for a while - but I think it'll be very solid. I'm definitely excited for this year.

The likely playoff matchups
dew1679666265 replied to TruffleShuffle's topic in General Baseball Talk
I don't know about that. Going into the 03 NLDS, I was nervous as all hell and worried about the Braves, who looked like a powerhouse that year. I didn't feel like we were playing with house money. I thought we had a legitimate shot with our dominant pitching staff that eeked out a playoff spot in a crappy division (sound familiar?) ... In 98 I wasn't treating it that way, either. Granted, I was 15, but I was crushed when they lost, even though that team was crap compared to the Braves. Given the nature of the playoffs, I never felt that nothing to lose mentality and I don't see why other fans would either. I suppose it might be different for a Cubs fan, though, given how (at the time of those appearances) rarely we did make it to the postseason and the drought crap along with it. Once you're in, you want to win. It's sort of a pointless thing to argue about, though. I agree it's up to the individual fan whether they're nervous or not, but I did have that feeling of "playing with house money" in 98. I knew we shouldn't be there and would likely be swept by a great Braves team. Therefore, I was mainly just happy that we made it and hoped we'd go farther in 99. #-o -
Pti did a segment about it and wilbon basically called out ESPNs east coast bias. It was glorious. :lol: Nice! Except isn't Manny on the West Coast now?
-
Wonder if they've had a segment on Sportscenter yet about why he did this and whether it will affect his play on the field or not?

Dunn to the Dbacks
dew1679666265 replied to vance_the_cubs_fan's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
Plus, he's stronger than any other hitter in either League. It's not as if he's fouling or missing those pitches to get into all those 2 strike counts. He's too passive early in the count, especially for someone who doesn't expand his zone. From watching Dunn over his career, he's too passive up there early in the count. Is there a way to tell how often he swings and misses? That may be part (though admittedly it may be small) of his going so deep into counts. I know when he swings he swings really hard - so maybe he's jumping on pitches early, but missing them. -
That was definitely the best they've played the entire tournament. I really like Heather Bown.
-
Wonder how long she and her parents have before the Chinese government "takes care" of them? :wink:
-
Nah, she got the kinks out during practice.
-
Definitely. That was too obvious not to score very high. And the pitcher for the Japanese softball team looks like Bigfoot. US girls lead 4-0 in the first by the way.
-
I saw one very slight wobble from Liukin there. She better as heck score a lot better than the Chinese girl. But I won't be surprised if she doesn't.
-
It's a lot easier to win when you do nothing but cheat... nonetheless, communists never lose. Socialist pride baby! :D And after at least 5 deductions noted by the NBC analyst, the Chinese girl somehow gets a great score. ](*,)

I vote to keep softball in the next Summer Olympics and banish gymnastics. This is ridiculous.
-
Probably a little of both.
-
In my admittedly layman's view, it wasn't. She even had the same length step on the landing, but her dismount wasn't nearly as complicated as far as I could tell. Yet, higher score. I hate to say anything definitive myself, but the NBC analyst is definitely on our side on this so I'm going to say Liukin's getting royally screwed.
-
I'm off to watch a sport that is (basically) purely athletic based and mostly immune from opinions. . . US women's softball on CNBC. I'll check back in on gymnastics, but I much prefer softball.
-
Yeah, same here. And apparently, the NBC expert judges far differently than the judges who's opinion actually counts. Opinion-based sports suck. It's not as if Olympic judges haven't been caught fixing scores before, too. Given how obviously the Chinese are cheating already (4-5 year olds posing as 16), I'm a bit more cynical than normal about the judging.
