  1. Reserved for when he misses out on all the non-cub FAs. It is funny that he's suddenly getting some love even though the 2007 team is identical to the 2006 version so far. Yeah, but minus Pierre. But c'mon, you gotta give him some credit. So far he couldnt be doing much better.....so far. I agree the Wood and Ramirez deals were very good moves, I just find it a little funny. Yeah, as of right now, I'm pleased. But if this is the end of the offseason Hendry would and should get ripped. He's still has problems with the starting pitching to solve.
  2. So much for playing Duke on ESPN 2 tomorrow. UC Davis got hammered by Georgia Southern 116-73. Ouch.
  3. It barely eclipses 'goodbye dusty day' just because Aramis was so crucial. Doesn't anyone remember the day Macias was dfa'd or the day Neifi got traded?? Those were good days............. On the trib site the have a poll on whether you like the the wood signing the Aram signing, both or neither. 6% of the morans voted that they liked neither :? April 9, 2006. Oh, and I love the deal.
  4. This is something that Cuse said in last weeks thread, but i wanted to bring the discussion over here. This is one of my main problems with the polling system. Earlier in the season, Florida's wins over Auburn, Tennessee and LSU looked really, impressive (not that they still arent quality wins, just some of the shine has been taken off.) Anyway, those wins look great, so Florida is highly ranked. Now, those teams lose a few more games, and the wins don't look as good. But what can you do if Florida doesn't lose? Florida's ranking is based on the strength of those wins, and they won't fall in the rankings unless they lose, no matter if Auburn, Tennessee and LSU lose every remaining game. Now, I'm not singling out Florida here, just using them as an example. ND in 2005 is probably the most blatant example of this, as they beat three Top 25 teams in the first 5 weeks of the season and none of them (save 7-5 Michigan) ended up being worth a crap. This is why I like you even though you're a Notre Dame fan, because you can recognize and admit things like this. Plus then I didn't have to make the point.
  5. You mentioned the SEC title game which would give Arkansas two potential quality victories down the stretch compared to Notre Dame's one. Arkansas has a very legitimate chance of passing Notre Dame if both win out.
  6. Just got back from a UCD water polo match and saw the news and now I need a new pair of boxers. I am so happy right now. GREAT NEWS!!
  7. At least this one has Rutgers over WVU but they have Louisville behind WVU. Plus, Arkansas over Notre Dame. I LOVE IT!!
  8. Yeah, even if you put the Big East teams at #23-#25 it should still be Rutgers, Louisville, and WVU in that order.
  9. Remember that one year Manny hit 40 homeruns? Because, of course, anyone who uses steroids becomes a superstar slugger. The Alexander types are the only ones that MLB ever catches. Rafael Palmeiro
  10. Please no on Beltre. For the sake of all that is good in the universe say no to Adrian Beltre.
  11. anyone care to guess what i'm going to do? you're going to inject **** heroin into your **** forehead i'm right behind you. well, my forehead is How's the smell? I hope Treeman showered recently.
  12. He'll sign with another team before next weekend rolls around. Unfortunately, I'm not drunk right now so I think I'm just going to cry. Alone.
  13. 1. OSU 2. Michigan 3. Rutgers 4. USC 5. Arkansas 6. Florida 7. Notre Dame 8. Louisville 9. WVU 10. Texas
  14. only if Arkansas loses. not necessarily. Arkansas will be 7th, maybe 6th at the end of this week. a loss to OSU doesn't necessarily dip UM below 5 (actually they wouldn't dip below 4 because USC would need to lose next week too in order for his scenerio to play out). you have to remember it is Michigan we are talking about. different rules apply for certain teams. so Arkansas doesn't move ahead of them. If Arkansas wins out - which would include a SEC championship game victory - I think they would pass Michigan.
  15. Boise St is tied with San Jose St at 20 with just over 5 minutes left.
  16. hehe. I ranted at you because I was p'd the Hogs leapfrogged my Badgers. now I come back to see you defending them, so I feel bad. still, should have losts should be considered when these guys vote. When did Arkansas leapfrog Wisconsin? Wisconsin wasn't ranked until Week 7 which was when Arkansas leaped into the rankings with the victory at Auburn. ETA: Also how do you define a should-have-lost game? How many points down do you have to come back from with how much time left? Week 7 saw the Hogs go from unranked to 17th. Wisconsin broke the top 25 that same week. Yes, that's what I said. I still don't see how somebody could be mad about that when one team beat the team that was #2 in the nation at that time.
  17. If the Arkansas-Tennessee game continues like it's currently going, I would put them ahead of Notre Dame.

  19. http://graphics.fansonly.com/photos/schools/usc/sports/auto_action/usc-logo.jpg that, they did. . . . however, it wasn't the same Hog team. McFadden was 50% and we had a crappy QB. I'd love to see a USC / Arkansas rematch. It's still hard to argue with a 50-14 beatdown at home. Plus, McFadden and the QB don't play defense.
  20. Because if they win out, they're in the national title discussion. That's where it all stemmed. Nobody's talking about them going to #6 after the polls tomorrow, although with USC/Oregon still pending and three top 10 teams losing already, #7 is a possibility. Actually, I did bring up the possibility of Arkansas jumping ND for #6 with a big victory today.
  21. Unless USC runs the table.
