  1. There's absolutely no doubt whatsoever that Illinois cracks the top 25 next week.
  2. If LSU wins tonight and USC doesn't pull away, it should be LSU #1 not USC. LSU behind though.
  3. Yup, and Stanford has the ball on USC's 1 yard line (it's 16-7, not 15 btw). The other score I'm laughing at is that Arkansas is only up 24-15 after 3 quarters on Chattanooga, who just happens to be a 1-3 IAA team. 16-14 now. USC pinned pretty deep in their own territory. This game is on Versus HD btw if anyone wants to watch it.
  4. Great Illinois win today, I actually usually root for Wisconsin today was an exception. I think anytime the Badgers gameplan becomes a pass-every-down offense it's going to be trouble for them. Not sure why they didn't stick with Hill more in the run game -- they just seemed to give up on him early after the Illini stopped him a few times. The Illini are an interesting mix this year. They're a Big 10 team coached like an SEC club, with a mixture of older, bruising Big 10 players and Zook's newer crop of speed players. They're becoming one of the most fun teams to watch at the moment. But I think they'll get beat by someone in the Big 10 soon. Still, it'll probably wind up being a nice bowl game and a good turnaround season for them.
  5. I thought being on nsbb for the first time during a cubs playoff run would make a difference. What the soap dropping hell good are all of you? J/K :P 8-)
  6. I think the Rox will blast 'em good, and then they'll collapse
  7. A Sori K will surely end it, and it is a fitting end to this turd of a series.
  8. This is the game where we do everything right and STILL lose. You ought to know the pattern by now.
  9. Amazing. I know, let's feed the curse mentality of our fans! Great idea! :roll:
  10. Your players come through, you're a genius. They suck, you've been outmanaged. It's tough, none of us like to go through this crap again but I just don't feel like throwing Lou under the bus for it. I'm trying to keep an open perspective. It really hurts to blow up like this but I keep remembering that at the beginning of June this club looked like it would finish 10 games under .500
  11. I don't know. I'm just gonna watch and see what happens. They'll probably play even tighter in front of the home crowd for all I know. I doubt this club changes its stripes and stops swinging at junk though. I can easily tell you what the DBacks' pitching approach will be. Just throw crap, let the Cubs beat themselves.
  12. CRAP. your saying theres a chance? thats all my heart needs-hope. f-hope. Nobody has gotten back to game 5 and lost. Interesting...
  13. Exactly. That's the type of reaction you see in the Little League World Series from 10 year old, not a grown up MLB player. If a White Sox or Cards player threw his glove down like Lilly, this thread would be over 30 pages long and ripping the dude to shreds. I'm just not hooking into this one. I couldn't disagree with you more. I don't see the big deal. I doubt a Cards/Sox player doing this would garner more than a couple snide remarks in the game thread. The over-reaction of Lilly to giving up basically a season-ending 3 run jack is far suprassed by the over-reaction on this board today, IMO.
  14. That's because, as we all know, the Cubs just don't have enough grit. It was grit all along. Lack of grittiness. Neifi would know what to do.
  15. I would post my own playoff diary but it might cause psychological distress to any children that might read it.
  16. My God, I checked and you're right. Can U say snakebit? How horrid. What is it with these guys?
  17. Wake me when they do something. I'm still waiting for my team to actually start playing baseball in October.
  18. After about the 7th or 8th time they synch up almost perfectly. LOL, that's funny.
  19. +1 I started watching the Daily Show, switching back and forth between commercial breaks. Once I realized the Cubs weren't going to pull out on that game, I went to bed. No sports team is worth breaking my own stuff or yelling at people. Yeah I've got work to do the next day so I'm not going to let a sports team ruin my sleep and thus my entire next day. Not worth it. Plus come on, we've seen this movie before. It's not like we're inexperienced watching the Cubs blow up. Been there, done that. Wake me when they're close to winning something.
  20. Sori + ARam + Lee a combined 4-for-27 so far. Lou's stupidity = our big bats crapping the bed, methinks.
  21. could be me, biut i'm thinking more on the train wreck side....sorry too lazy to look for an imagehttp://media.smays.com/blog/blogimages/trainwreck450b.jpgwell, thats effective, thanks Yikes. Yeah, that about covers it.
  22. Bulls season starts in less than a month!
  23. They aren't. We just need to find some way out of this nightmare! Help!
  24. Who really cares how many people watch. I am sure fans of both teams will be so heart broken. I'll bet Selig cares. And whoever the heck will be airing the games -- they care. Too bad the Cubs can't rescue their ratings.
