Wow. Minnesota is already beating IU 35-0. :shock: There's still over 9 minutes left in the 2nd quarter. :shock: :shock:

That was a great catch. Great concentration.

Michigan starting to wake up a little bit. They go down the field and score on an 6-yard TD pass. 14-9 now.

Ball State just intercepted a Henne pass and took it back for a TD. Ball State is now beating Michigan 9-7. Michigan, please wake up. :x

From Rotoworld:

It doesnt. Its the first time i can remeber that they are not on TV. If the game isnt on ESPN(2) or ABC it will be on the local cable channel the WXSP. Not even the X can carry this game. This is the #2 team in the country people. I think a couple weeks ago an OSU game was ESPNU and lotsa people were pissed about that one too. And it's not like I could even get ESPNU. It's not offered by Comcast, which is the only cable provider in Ann Arbor. And instead of putting the game on ESPN, ESPN is instead showing 5 hours of coverage of the Breeder's Cup. :evil:

I live in Ann Arbor and I can't watch the Michigan game today because it's not on any local stations. It's only on ESPNU. How does that make sense?

Looks like we have some tampering allegations

Looks like Igawa will be posted. From Rotoworld:

I want to say sometime Monday... For some reason I so want the Cubs to get this guy. He seems like a can't miss, but I don't really care. I just want them to win something, a bidding war, checkers, anything. I am fired up. I feel the same way. It's sad that we have to hope for these little victories to get excited about when it comes to the Cubs. :x

I watch Lloyd Carr do it every week. :x

It's like both defense's are only playing with 8 guys or something. It shouldn't be this easy to move the ball.

Steve Slaton seems to have a forearm injury and isn't playing for WVU. If he's out this game is pretty much over.

I'd say all the momentum is on Louisville's side at the moment. :shock:

So do we really believe these teams (Mariners included) are actually backing out of the bidding, or are they just posturing? Don't see the point in them coming out and saying they aren't bidding. Might as well not say anything. Only thing to be gained is teams believe them so they think the bidding won't go as high as it would if these teams were involved in the bidding.

I e-mailed Couch the link and here's his reply. Wow. Next Mariotti?

The latest SCORE update said a deal could be finalized in the next 4-5 days.

ARod does not want to look like he's giving up in NY, and the Yankees don't want to look like they are willing to give him away. So basically it's a no-win situation for either party... :D

Looks like he's been posted. From Rotoworld:

Yeah, I just read that. I was thinking about sending Mr. Couch an email. :club:

http://www.newsday.com/sports/printedition/ny-spyanks314954810oct31,0,5248755.story?coll=ny-sports-print Not sure what I would give up for Sheffield but if we found a way to not give up much and find a way to peddle Jones for something of vaule it would be nice to take a gamble that Sheff can return to 30-35 homer glory. Does Sheffield still throw the ball well? I know he's not worse than Jones. Another quote from the Newsday article: So we could know soon if Sheffield is going to end up in Cubbie Blue.

From Rotoworld: Guess we can mark off one of the options for CF next year. Padres also declined options on Piazza and Klesko.

I can read Japanese. Here's the article then: http://headlines.yahoo.co.jp/hl?a=20061028-00000038-nks-spo
