Failure would absolutely be the right thing to call it. Clearly you don't know your history. One only has to think back to the 1985 NFL Draft and the horrific scenario that played out for Bill Walsh and the 49ers. Needing a receiver and having conviction on Mr. Eddie Brown from Miami, the 49ers traded up to pick 1-16 only to have the Bengals steal away Mr. Brown with pick 1-13. This epic failure led to a near total melt down wherein Walsh proceeded to apparently panic and select the next guy on his receivers list. Unfortunately, Per the 49ers' own scouting director this guy was only a 5th round talent. Some relatively unknown and slow ( 4.57 in the 40 ) receiver from some division whatever school, Mississippi Valley something. Meanwhile Mr. Brown won rookie of the year, made a pro bowl in 1988 and led his team to a super bowl appearance. Also, Mr. Brown's 24 yards per catch average is an NFL single-season record that still stands for receivers with 50+ receptions. This failure eventually lead to Walsh leaving the NFL and going back to college coaching at Stanford from which he came. If you have a chance to watch a 49ers home game on TV pay attention when they show the sidelines. Sometimes you can see a glimpse of the guy they took at 1-16. Even though he isn't in the league anymore he occasionally shows up to watch from the field. Once I even saw him wearing some tacky looking gold jacket that looked like it was from the 1970's or something. Poor guy, I guess they don't teach fashion at the small schools.

So ... she lied? Or am I missing something?

Early, but so far Arizona didn't get the memo. 17-0 up on USC.

I want to believe ... but it's Denver

My two favorite teams... The Bears and whoever is playing Green Bay.

Yeah ... I'm not sure how I got that mixed up.

never mind

Ducks: "This is how you handle a team from Colorado" Dolphins: "Hold my beer ..."

With Rogers injury Green Bay still has their first round pick. So it just means they will end up with Nix, Penix, Ewers etc.

isn't Hikaru suppose to be the best bullet player in the world?

Rogers is fine ... he will just relax a little and then come out and lead the Jets to a second half come back ... Thus we will be stuck listening to a week of the legend of Rogers BS.

Definitely feels like Love had a few of those "Wish I had that throw back" The overthrow to Musgrave ... Blow coverage (TD?) The deep shot to Dobbs was overthrown (TD?) The third down pass that Gordan knocked away would have keep the drive alive if it had been to the outside shoulder.

claypool is trash

Hopefully this isn't the finished product ... so far it sucks ...

2nd time Arizona has lost to a #15 seed when they were the #2 seed.

No Way!! Unless he is really cheap. He can't stay on the field ... always injured

Would you trade Michigan’s end game collapses for Illinois’ seeming need to be punched in the face (almost literally) before they wake up and realize that there’s a game going on? They turned the ball over in their first 4 possessions and allowed Purdue to score in their first 5 to go down 11 points three minutes into the game, had to play catch up the rest of the way and end up losing by 5. I’m looking around the Internet to find Illinois’ first half vs second half point differentials. It’s got to be substantial. Well Illinois is going to the NCAA tournament and because of the last 2 painful OT losses Michigan almost certainly isnt, so yes. But I have noticed that a ton from Illinois. Gotta be frustrating. 1st half # 103 Home +6.6 [glow=red]Away -3.2[/glow] 2nd Half # 11 Home +8.6 Away +2.1

Still a chance according to this Link "At 14-19 and without a conference title to their credit, the Titans are ineligible for the NIT and NCAA Tournament. However, Davis could still break Maravich's record if Detroit is invited to a postseason event such as the CBI or The Basketball Classic, which allows teams with records below .500 to compete."

Such a promising season down the drain. Well, actually..... Today is a great day ... My two favorite teams are Indiana and anyone that beats Purdue. :yahoo:

yeah. no, thank you I don’t think people were saying yes to that specific pick, they are saying yes to that trade. Agreed, I was speaking only about the pick. The trade would of course be awesome.

In this scenario using the #7 pick on a LB should be a firing offense.

Given his history, I expect him to be named head coach of the Bills sometime after the Super Bowl.

So, it cost us $39 million to trade Heyward for Bellinger and we still might end up with a weak hitting LH outfielder? Still worth it But this time the "LH outfielder" will be in the best shape of his life Also he is sure to have fully reworked his swing during spring training. ... seventh time is a charm ...

My guess would be. Fourth in the Big 10 regular season at 12-8. 6-6 in Quad 1 games and 3-4 in Quad 2 games. going 9-10 in that amount of Quad 1 and 2 games probably more than makes up for the trash non-con schedule. Supposedly the last ten games or how you finish the season isn't as important as it once was. Now they apparently take a broader view of the entire resume.

Best dam head coach in the Purdue's history. His ability to do more with less is on an epic level. One five star recruit in his time there. Averaging 22 wins a year while playing in a real conference like the Big 10 with a bunch of 3 and 4 stars. Lets see Coach K or Self or Smith or Williams or that scum at Kentucky do that with out rolling the ball out there to a bunch of five stars all the time. Three Big 10 titles, one time coach of the year nationally and four time Big 10 coach of the year. If not for a fluke play by Virginia to force overtime in the 2019 tournament they probably go on to beat Auburn in the FF and them perhaps even Texas Tech in NC. It's West Lafayette! recruits aren't knocking down the door to go there. If you somehow ever get another coach as good or better they will quickly leave for a blue blood and a higher paycheck. As an Indiana fan I fully endorse the idea of Purdue letting Painter go. One of my worst sport nightmares is the idea of Purdue hanging a banner. If anyone can do it in West Lafayette my money would be on Painter. Please! Purdue fans run him out of town now.
