    Jets driving down three, with 41 seconds to the Washington 11 yd line.

    The Cowboys stopped him; that being said, he's a very amazing runner.

    Damn! Washington takes a 3 pt lead on the Jets. #-o

    Not sure if that's true. IF KU and OSU win out, I think they'll play for the title. I think an undefeated KU would leapfrog Oregon and LSU in the polls. Not saying they're a better team, but I think it would happen. KU almost definitely won't win out though if they don't get their D back in order. You might be right, but rarely (not never, but rarely) does a team drop in the polls unless they lose. I think the computers combined with the polls will keep LSU in the second spot if they win out. If LSU wins out, they will add a win over Arkansas as well as whoever they beat in the SEC championship. I think that will be enough.

    Jets still leading the Foreskins in the 4th. :D

    LSU now controls their own destiny again. If they can stop the mental mistakes, they should be able to win out.

    I'd trade Marshall for him.

    I just read the blurb on rotoworld and smiled! Awesome news. FUKUDOME! I'm ready to get that jersey!

    I wouldn't mind Fuld as the fourth or fifth outfielder this year.
  10. vance_the_cubs_fan
    So far, so good!
  11. vance_the_cubs_fan
    If LSU is in the title game, that won't be a neutral field.
  12. vance_the_cubs_fan
    With BC's loss, LSU likely moves back to number two. Geaux Tigers. We're one bunch of lucky SOB's, but I'll take it.

    After an interception by Chevis Jackson gives LSU the ball on the 14. On 3rd down, Flynn hits Doucet on the screen and LSU leads 10-3.
  14. vance_the_cubs_fan
    I'd rather give them Marshall than Gallagher.

    Well, it could be time for a board redesign. Instead of three forums: transactions, rivalries, and baseball discussions. Have a Cubs baseball discussions and then another team forum. If it deals with Cubs-transactions or otherwise it goes in Cubs discussions....if it deals with another team- other team discussions. Also, we should give our forums cute names ala the guys at Dodger Blues. I love the title "Pedro for Delino" for the transaction forums.

    Good news on both Ward and Traschel. I would have broken something if Traschel really was brought back.

    I'm glad to see Kroeger is staying in the system.
  18. vance_the_cubs_fan
    I voted Arod, but either of those three would make me very happy.

    If Kobe starts to be such a headache and the Bulls refuse to give in, is it possible that the Lakers decide to take a better package from Dallas even though they are in the West.
  20. vance_the_cubs_fan
    While I understand the reasons behind its inception, lately more heated discussions have been found elsewhere. Maybe there really is no longer a need for it. I do know that often it's confusing where to place a topic, which also leads to duplicate threads.

    This year's Patriots team may be the best team in the NFL....ever! I'm voting Patriots.

    Average Ticket Prices (2006) Red Sox $46.47 Cubs $34.30 Yankees $28.27 Cardinals $29.78 Mets $25.28 MLB Avg. $22.21 It would take roughly a $9 (or 25%) increase in ticket prices to recoup the cost of ARod. TV revenues play a part, but unless you're in a position to exploit the additional ratings (e.g., YES Network), those added revenues are shared with others (e.g., Comcast) or delayed because the TV contracts aren't renewed each year. Domestic merchandise sales are shared across the league (not much help there). The park is already virtually sold out each year, so there's very little impact on attendance. Ironically, the Tribune Company is best positioned to realize the benefit of adding a player like ARod because they'll benefit from the likely bump in WGN ratings. CFP The big difference with the Cubs ticket prices and other stadia, is the lack of cheap seats at Wrigley. The higher priced seats at Wrigley are no more expensive than many higher priced areas at other ballparks. However, at many places there are $4-$6 seats while the Cubs don't have anything that cheap.

    Thanks for the info. And shouldn't you consider changing your user name from "peoriachiefs39" to "chicagocubs36"? :)
  24. vance_the_cubs_fan
    Agreed. I'd like to see Sean get a chance to be the number five starter next season.
  25. vance_the_cubs_fan
    If I were in Barry's shoes, I'd probably feel the same way.
