  1. Time to protect Grossman from injury and sit him the rest of the game. My opinion may or may not be based on the fact that I'm facing Grossman in fantasy this week.
  2. I think that would be a stellar game. I'm still holding out hope for the Fiesta though. :D And woot to Mizzou staying in the top 25. Too bad they fell out of the AP poll.
  3. That's an important point. On the other hand, does Gaetti have any coaching experience at all? EDIT: Looks like he was Houston's AAA hitting coach and was their Major League hitting coach from July 2004 - July 2006, when he got canned.
  4. Why does it matter? It's not like they're taking the bowl spots from better teams, and most of them are Christmas week games that not many people watch outside their fandoms. I'd rather watch an 8-4 team from the MAC or CUSA than some team that played four bad non-conference teams and then beat the worst two teams in their own conference. With 33% of the season still to the play, there are 6 teams with fewer than 4 losses in the MAC and C-USA combined. Let's ignore the fact that those two conferences have a combined 8-10 bowl tie-ins for a second. Those 6 teams against major conference teams: Lost v. Minnesota, 44-0 Lost @ Rutgers, 24-7 Lost @ Mizzou, 31-6 Lost v. BC, 31-24 (31-10 with 10 mins left) Lost @ Michigan, 41-17 Lost @ Kentucky, 45-36 Lost @ Indiana, 39-20 Won @ Virginia, 17-10 Won v. Oklahoma St., 34-25 Lost @ Miami, 14-13 Lots of road games to be sure, but it's still a 2-8 record with some less than stellar opponents(OSU, Minnesota, Kentucky, IU, and Virginia). Add in the fact that these people are going to be in a bowl anyway, and I don't see the need to worry about mediocre major conference teams making a bowl.

  6. Tyrone Willingham may go on a homicidal rampage if he keeps losing close games every single week.
  7. er, Gameday lied to me and it was 4th and 1 for Tech, Harrell is stuffed on the sneak and Texas has the ball again. Tech has at most 2 timeouts, since ESPN apparently doesn't want to divulge that sort of info.
  8. Tech in the redzone, 4:30 left
  9. Texas takes the lead, 35-31, 2 minutes into the 4th. aTm is going to beat Baylor, up 10 with 2 mins left after Goodson broke a long TD run.
  10. So MLS doesn't weight away goals then?
  11. Will they make a bowl if they go 6-6? The ACC can't have that many bowl tie-ins.
  12. What other Freshman QB would be competing with him? I haven't heard much of anything questioning McCoy.
  13. Tech with a TD to push it's lead to 31-21. 24 seconds left in the first half
  14. Texas strikes again to make it 24-14. In other "Ranked Big XII teams from Texas playing on the road against another Texas school" news, aTm leads Baylor 21-14 at the half.
  15. UL Monroe with an early TD against Arkansas and they just picked off Mustain. EDIT: Nevermind, they just snapped a punt over the punter's head and about 50 yards downfield.
  16. I remember being laughed at for believing defense played a major role on your chances of winning. This world series showed why defense is very important. First of all, that doesn't really answer what I said at all. Secondly, of course defense is important to winning, it's a sizable part of a baseball game. The thing is, everyone in MLB is pretty good at playing defense on the whole. The difference is not worth sacrificing in other areas.
  17. my hatred for the Big XII grows further Should've seen that coming, OSU took aTm to OT last week playing at home, and that was mostly without Reid. If the Cowboys hold on, next week's Mizzou-Nebraska game is basically a Big XII North championship game. That's kind of like being the smartest kid in remedial classes Whatever makes you feel better.

  19. Let me see if I have this right. Good pitching wins in the playoffs, except this year when worse pitchers pitch better than the good ones. But that's because they weren't clutch enough and made errors. Maybe, just maybe, sometimes good pitching beats good hitting, and sometimes good hitting beats good pitching. That's why it's good to aim for both, because when you make the playoffs and your season comes down to 4-7 games you can't really plan for short cold streaks from either.
  20. My goodness there is some terrible logic in this thread.
  21. Oklahoma State wins the award for worst commercial pimping your school. Nothing like Garth Brooks telling you to go to OSU because "you'll have the most fun".
  22. I'm pretty sure this has been the worst 24 hours of my sports life. Mizzou is better than they played today.
  23. Inge just threw himself to the ground, terrible attempt at catching that throw.
