Orton was inactive? Who was the 3rd QB? Orton was in uniform, so I'm thinking he was active. Isn't there a special rule about 3rd quarterbacks being active? They can be inactive and still enter the game as long as one of the other quarterbacks doesn't come back? -
Yea, but that will never happen, which is unfortunate. I once did a speech on instituting a playoff system, and with 16 teams it can be done without any income loss to the schools or bowls. Unfortunately the NCAA seems to think that the current system is adequate. Can you detail more how it wouldn't cost anyone any money? I haven't researched the topic, but I'd have to imagine that a playoff system where your team isn't guaranteed to make it to the next game(plus the cost of traveling and paying for tickets to two different bowl sites) would cause lower attendance at later bowl games.

Soriano rumor....
Transmogrified Tiger replied to C.C.'s topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
That's not true. Link -
The SEC has played Cal, Michigan, USC, Louisville, Mizzou, and Hawaii, with games against West Virginia, Colorado, Florida State, Fresno State, and Georgia Tech later in the season. Really, there is very little difference.

Bummer. Man, United has really slowed down after their amazing start.

Auburn's schedule is much better, it's not particularly close. As for your question, Tennessee waxed Cal already. Everyone schedules mostly patsies in the non-con(because most conference schedules are bad enough, especially in the SEC and Big 10), it's not exclusive to any specific conference. Tennessee always plays tough teams and as I look at the schedules I don't see Auburn playing Tennessee this year. People always argue that the SEC or other conferences are so tough that they can't play other top teams and that is the perfect thing they want you to believe. Tennesse plays a tough out of conference schedule and Florida always plays Florida St but the rest of them schedule average to horrible teams at best, how are you measuring how good they are? Well Auburn beat LSU and Alabama. ok....who did LSU or Alabama beat to earn this high praise? They didn't have to beat anyone because the SEC is so tough they don't have to play anyone out of conference? I don't deny that Auburn and LSU are talented but you're asking me to believe they are better because of what conference they are from. I don't see how this 3 degrees of schedule separation is more applicable for the SEC than other conferences.

Chicago takes a 1-0 lead on a Herron goal then the picture completely dies.

It's more of an observation made at the real target of the "running out ground balls" comment. Given who generally is the target of the "hustle" crtitiques, I'd rather he not sprint every single ground ball out because the likelihood of injury to a relatively slow player is higher than the liklihood of a bad throw on a routine ground ball. It's not like I don't want players to hustle, but in general I'll take a max talent guy over a max effort guy 100 times out of 100. So the runners had had more injuires than Cedeno, Walker or Ramirez had errors? I don't think so USS. But on many of those errors it doesn't matter if the guy ran hard, slow, or backwards. That's not the right comparison.

Preseason rankings I can see, but it's 3 weeks into the season now. No team returned their full roster, so looking at the previous year when we have almost a month of performance this year is pretty faulty IMO. It would be if the team didn't live up to the expectation but they (WV) have. If they were an ACC or SEC team I know I wouldn't even be having this debate with you. It would be assumed that they belong and since they are a BE team they have to earn it, which they have IMO. I'm not saying WVU belongs out of the top 10, only that Auburn deserves to be ranked in front of them right now. If WVU had beaten a top 10 team last week while Auburn crushed a middling foe, I'd argue the other way around. Conference has nothing to do with it.

No team returned their full roster, so looking at the previous year when we have almost a month of performance this year is pretty faulty IMO. I'm not understanding your point. Auburn will probably have to play 3 top 10 teams this year with LSU, Florida, and Georgia, and probably a 4th in the SEC Title game if they make it there. What conference can say that? Comparatively, WVU's schedule has one team that you could say is a lock for a bowl(Louisville), it's going to be significantly weaker than Auburn's.
-
That's why I wrote they have everyone back plus the good recruiting they had last off season. SEC Champ (Which was Georgia not Auburn) has to beat them first before I put them ahead. That's some interesting logic. Why do you say that? WV beat the SEC champ last year and has eveyone coming back. Auburn lost some key players and yet somehow they are now better than WV? Auburn already beat a top 10 team this year. Last year's results should have no bearing. And even if they did, Auburn beat Georgia last year too and have proven themselves capable this year by beating LSU.

WVU has looked really good, but I don't see how you can put them in front of Auburn.

Sad news. Get well soon Jada.

Mizzou up to 22 votes! #32 in the nation, woot! 7 votes in the coaches poll for #35, behind the likes of MSU, Georgia Tech, and.....Texas A&M? :? Link to both polls

Donovan McNabb is committed to winning me this league all by his lonesome. 22 points last week and 18 this week and he has almost a full half left to play. In other news, I'm the only 1-0 team playing an 0-1 team. Roast is thanking the Tampa defense for letting Dunn and Vick run wild against Vance, and Uber and O_O look reasonably matched so far.

The "I love delicious crow" thread
Transmogrified Tiger replied to Sammy Sofa's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
To add on, I think he's been able to be more consistent with his delivery as well. I haven't seen Hill's last couple starts, but at the beginning of this run he's gone on I speculated that he's been able to get the same arm slot on the fastball and the curve, and that's why hitters were chasing fastballs up in the zone(which due to their location help with any lack of velocity as well). Batters can't tell it's not the curve ball until they've committed to swinging. Anyone else see this? -
Hey now, Mike Anderson scheduled 21 home games against the likes of Army and Stetson for a reason.
-
Yay defense.
-
Colorado with an early 3-0 lead on Arizona St. (On TBS for interested parties), ASU with the ball at the Colorado 1 on 4th down. Tech still down 6-3 to TCU.
-
Gamecast hasn't caught up. I assume Oklahoma fielded it?
-
I bet that's what it'll be, unless USC hangs 70 on Nebraska.
-
Oregon scores a TD to make it 33-27 with 1:09 left, they need the onside kick.
-
Peterson breaks one to the Oregon 5, passing 200 yards on the day. TCU leads TTU 6-3 at the half. Notre Dame just used all its timeouts with 6:30 to play before UM punts. and Texas and Cal have comfortable leads over Rice and Portland St. respectively.
