  1. dog fighting rape what could the third be? murder? I'm not sure what the proper progression is To be fair, you have a lot to choose from with Marcus.
  2. It just occurred to me, the Hogs are running a 4-2-5 D largely because they have, like, 3 linebackers on the roster. Absurd. Also, does anybody else have a hard time saying the right team they root for at any given time? I almost typed Cubs, Dolphins, and Lakers above before I finally got it right.
  3. Well, in around 18 hours, I get to see how Petrino's new system looks with the young, inexperienced squad the Razorbacks are trotting out.
  4. Yes your team is lame When it suggests getting drunk even in its name
  5. This is some of the dumbest smack talk I've heard in a very, very long time. I hope the game isn't this lame.
  6. Uhhh...what? WB seems to have his wires crossed or something. expected prodiction is not the same as calculated average. If he was talking about the latter, then his assertation would be absolutely correct. But, when we're talking about expected production, there is no mathematical certainty, because it's just that: expected.
  7. Hm...wouldn't a ram islam be a sacrifice rather than a homer?
  8. Herby might be my favorite television sports personality. it's really nice having him on the radio every day, even though it's just noon-2. He's usually on with Chris Spielman His radio show is of national quality. He's got an encyclopedic knowledge of college sports. I don't know if they still have this line-up or not but they use to have Chris Speilman on right before Herbstreet's show. Speilman was horrific but the mouth breathers in Columbus love him. he's actually on WITH Spielman now. I swear it was Herb I was listening to today, the the website says it was Scott Torgersen and Mike Ricordati. Herbstreit/Spielman/Hooley is on 4-6 The beautiful thing is NO Jim Rome. We get Mike & Mike, The Herd, Scott/Mike, Mike Tirico, then Herb and the gang. it would be beautiful-er if there was no colin cowherd. i think that guy is a bigger idiot than any other big-time sports talk host. I'm not a fan of his, but I'd take Jim Rome any day of the week over Cowherd. Rome's show is generally awful, but he's a very good interviewer. Cowherd has no good traits that I've found. Luckily, the local sports station here is taking Rome off the air next Friday and replacing him with a couple of good local guys. So I have no Rome or Cowherd on my 24-hour sports station. :D That's largely my stance. When Rome was on the air here, I didn't listen for his takes or the dumbass smack (though admittedly, there were a few diamonds in the rough). I listened because it was national sports talk and because Jim usually has pretty interesting interviews on. (also because I hate music radio.)
  9. I'm sure he would have if he were fluent in caveman.
  10. It's not entirely our fault. Who'd have thought Dorrell would destroy UCLA's football team back 5 years or so ago when we scheduled them. UAB has fallen off a cliff since we scheduled them, but they were only decent back then anyway. Wyoming is a normal homecoming pushover and NIU is down from where they normally are. So yeah, outside the SEC is easier than normal, but the conference schedule is going to be brutal. Well if the other SEC teams are playing the same type of OOC schedule you are it should match up some 3-0/4-0 and make it look even better! Seriously, your conference has stepped it up a bit with the exception of LSU, theirs is terrible. Arkansas' is pretty terrible, What? One good game (Texas), three terrible games (W. Illinois, Tulsa and UL-Monroe) Tulsa won 10 games last year and were 6th in the NCAA in scoring. I don't know why you would call them terrible. It's a game the Hogs could easily lose this year. Tulsa will probably be favored. I really hope they can pull out a few games they're not supposed to win this year, because next year is freaking BRUTAL. They play the SEC West, as usual, but from the East, they play Florida and Georgia, as well as SC. Then they play Texas and aTm in non-conference.

  12. i am going to predict that michigan state does what they always do, start out good, lose a game to a good team that they should've won, then go in the toilet. I think that phase is over for them since they got rid of John L. Smith. So you're saying...the coaches were screwing it up? Awesome, awesome tirade right there my friend. :D Indeed. Also a very impressive walrus impression.

  14. This is..probably not going to be a lot of fun.
  15. Did anybody notice that 98 run difference in run differential? I think that makes up for that whopping 1 game difference in overall record.
  16. Great, now both my fantasy third basemen are hurt. I can't even bring in Crede to hold the position down for a little bit. Now I gotta move DeRosa to 3rd and put in Kelly Johnson at 2nd :/
  17. It's not the hall of Excellent, either. or the Hall of Tremendous. I hate that phrase, and wish it would die.
  18. Significant difference: Micah has a) hit above .240 and b) walked at least once this decade.
  19. I think we can start considering him in the team's Top 10 prospects list. You know what? Screw the Cubs' top 10 list. 14.6K/9...8.6 K/BB. That's just stupid. I look forward to see how he does pitching over 4 innings, though. Also, this threw me off. Jay Jackson Full name: Randy Jackson huh?
  20. Give him a plasma rifle, tattoo a "G" over his eye and I'd read that comic. As long as he can activate that rifle three times while in the air.
  21. Yeah, they never do well, except for when they do.
  22. Pie came in in the 5th and went 1 for 2.
  23. I suspect this will not be a fun year for me as an Arkansas fan.
  24. Get the liquid kind, it's easier to swallow than those pills.
