    I've only seen Vernon Davis 3 times, but Marcedes is definitely the better pass-receiver and Davis the better blocker. Vernon is defintely more raw than Marcedes. He definitely could add 10 lbs. His blocking has improved a lot. I expect one of Vernon or Marcedes to be available when the Bears pick and hope they take one of them. I'd be in heaven if that one was Marcedes. :D

    Not at the Rose Bowl. The BCS banned any celebs from either team's sideline, apparently pissing off Snoop and Harry Winkler.

    Please give me input about my impending college football keeper situation in the Fantasy forum - especially if you know Georgia Tech or Ohio State football.

    I get to keep one WR, between Cal's freshman DeSean Jackson (aka rawaction), and sophomores Calvin Johnson og Georgia Tech and Teddy Ginn, Jr. of Ohio State. Calvin and Teddy are already sophomores, so it appears as though I will have DeSean for one more year than the other two. Reggie Ball will be Calvin's QB next year (I haven't thought too much of him these past few years) while the highly-heralded Nate Longshore should start at QB in Berkeley (but Nate only has played 2 quarters of college football). I was disappointed in Ginn fantasy-wise, so I'd prefer Johnson or Jackson. What do you think?

    Felin will be 22 before next season and has never pitched above Mesa. Not too encouraging, of course there's still tons of time.
  6. CaliforniaRaisin
    Checking out MiLB.com, Felin had 24 IP but Inoa did not log any ABs. Albuquerque was converted from catcher, I think.
  7. CaliforniaRaisin
    Nah, Tim fell asleep instead. :P
  8. CaliforniaRaisin
    Felin did pitch for Mesa last year.

    By the way, if you're tired of USC, just try living in LA.
  10. CaliforniaRaisin
    Yeah, I hope the Bulls get him.

    I just don't know why NU didn't run more - designed Basanez runs and Sutton runs. Especially as they built their Olson-induced first quarter lead. They could have blown away UCLA had they run more in the first half. I was also shocked that a walk-on place kicker who wasn't even on the team against USC outplayed NU's kicker. When UCLA got the ball, down 22-7, I new they were going to win (the same way I knew they would win when they were down 24-10 against Stanford). They had regained their swagger after the first scoring drive and knew the run couldn't be stopped. And when the defense needed to step up and get turnovers, it was the two senior leaders Spencer Havner and Jarrod Page. We're gonna miss them. On a side note, Chris Markey lost his house and some family members to Katrina (he's a Louisiana boy) and had an injury-plagued season. Nice to see him get co-MVP after a tough few months, couldn't happen to a nicer guy. P.S. Watching games at Las Vegas' New York, New York is awesome. You can see the game in HD even when you go to the restroom! Sorry, Jon.

    That was a stupid pass from Brady Leaf last night against Oklahoma, I was hoping Belotti would have gone conservative and gone for the tie because I just don't trust Leaf. They were driving because of swing and screen passes, not Leaf's throws downfield. Oregon would have blown away Oklahoma if Clemens was healthy. Oh well, if USC wins, the Pac-10 goes 4-1.

    The problem is the Cubs don't have anybody more promising than Kelton ready to take 460 ABs in a corner OF spot in Iowa. Who do they have slated for the OF? Greenberg, Sing, Bacon, Creighton & Montanez ended last year at AA. So probably some mix of them, though not sure if Montanez will be in AAA. And hopefully Pie will be at AAA.
  14. CaliforniaRaisin
    that would rid us of UCLA too!! Two for one! A nuke with a 5-mile radius in damage would be perfect. Would get rid of Staples too, hopefully Kobe is in there playing.
  15. CaliforniaRaisin
    Ahh the good ol' days. That was the greatest game ever. I believe the Cubs lost, but I have never watched any sporting event with less emotion. It was fun. Yeah, that was a blast. Plz don't get hurt on that evil turf, Rex.
  16. CaliforniaRaisin
    You called? Good game. :) EDIT: I have never been more impressed with UCLA's offensive line. They were just doing what they wanted with NU's DL like USC did to our DL earlier this month.
  17. CaliforniaRaisin
    Just drop a nuke on that POS school.

    I think I peed a little from laughing so hard. Thanks I needed that. Good to see you around, sir. I hope that was sarcasm. Maybe... I meant AramisRamirez' post.

    Nice post, Serena.

    Hairston's only averaging 15 a game. He's still a legitimate NBA prospect and I wouldn't be shocked to see him averaging 18-20 by season's end. He's an incredible talent. He hasn't impressed me that much. Of course, I'm VERY biased. The kid is shooting 55 percent from the floor as a 2 guard. That is very impressive by any standards. Averaged over 50 percent last year as well. I'm shocked he isn't shooting more for that team. He will though, and he's good enough to get them into the tourney in a very weak Pac 10. I only saw part of one game this season of his, he didn't impress me much against UCLA or Washington last year (yes, small sample size). He has all the attributes to be a lottery pick.
  22. CaliforniaRaisin
    That was an entertaining game. I'll call it now itself. Cal will be the first team to beat USC next year (ND will be the other). EDIT: As long as Nate Longshore is actually healthy next season.
  23. CaliforniaRaisin
    Thank goodness for the Bears.

    By the way, go Brandon Ayanbadejo! Way to represent UCLA. :D
