I just love that you can't switch games on the ncaa.com live feeds during commercials, lol. I guess that is the trade off for it being free though. Fair enough I suppose.

NEED MOAR BIG UPSETS PLZ K THX

My Big Ten pride means nothing here. Go Northern Iowa.

Haha Kramer got his ankles broken on that play.

A spreadsheet that's actually basketball stuff. Doesn't seem like a good idea. Eh my boss would be too lazy to notice that part. :ninja:

They are playing Robbie Hummel. and the other guys on Purdue. That's conference MVP Robbie Hummel to you, stupid. Conference MVP and future first team NBA All-Everything and that is just his rookie season. They are allowing the crab dribble now in hopes of LeBron competing with The Robbie Hummel. CBS is changing the lyrics for One Shining Moment to: The ball is tipped and there you are you're running for your life you're a Robbie Hummel

I like that the NCAA.com live feeds have a "Boss Button" that brings up a fake Excel spreadsheet when you click on it. \:D/

They also beat Louisville by 14. and the week before, they lost to murray state by 30. this is a game that illinois should win by a comfortable margin, but stranger things have happened and i'm not too impressed with the illini this year, so whatever. They also went to the Sweet 16 last season. It isn't like you are playing one of the play-in game teams. I'd still take Illinois to win but I think expecting a blowout in a game like this is setting yourself up for disappointment as crazy as the first two days of the tournament can get. Just be happy for whatever kind of win you get. :hello:

The Man Who Warned Baseball About Steroids
Sosa21MVP replied to Irrelevant Dude's topic in General Baseball Talk
I must admit my memories from that time period aren't really tarnished that much either. It was indeed fun while it lasted and while it is a bit disconcerting to find out later that steroids may have played a role in the surge, I don't feel scarred for life or anything like that. It is a freaking game, that is all. And I still love watching the Cubs today just as much as I did 10 years ago and 20 years ago. -
The Man Who Warned Baseball About Steroids
Sosa21MVP replied to Irrelevant Dude's topic in General Baseball Talk
Well, if you actually look actually look at his numbers, he was pretty consistent throughout his career. which is the problem, as most power hitters don't stay "consistent" into their late 30's. He didn't really drop off power-wise until his 40's His numbers didn't significantly increase late in his career like Sammy, McGwire, Bonds, etc. I think hitting 40 homers late in your career when you have done it previously is a little different than hitting 60+ homers late in your career when you pretty much averaged 40 home runs most of your career. Having your career year power-wise at 37 is a little odd. Having another season at 39 that potentially could have been just as "career-y" if it wasn't shorter by 19 games is also odd. Hank has some weird fluctuations in the final decade of his career. Could just be one of those things. Interesting. I think this bears further research into what else Hank may have been doing. -

Don't laugh. Bobby Knight is heading there. lol. No I think they need Mike Davis. =D>

The UK Rupp Rafters board on Rivals is a good read lately. \:D/

Indiana totally got snubbed. Unreal.

Cubs Sign Koskie to Minor League Deal
Sosa21MVP replied to Tim's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
Cool. I really would like to see him make it. Him & Rivas both. But that is just my homerism for old Fort Wayne Wizards shining through. Speaking of which, Jake Peavy is an ex-Wizard too. :thumbsup: -
It doesn't sound all that crazy when you consider how deep our lineup will be. Somebody had to bat 7th.
-
It is so awesome to open a thread and see half the posts blocked. \:D/ On the subject of Aaron Miles I wouldn't expect him to put up the same stat line as last year but I'd imagine his OPS and all of that will still be at least acceptable as a bench scrub. Only fear being that Lou will use him too damn much. :banghead: And yes he is being paid too much but that is the kind of thing I don't dwell on very much. The contract is what it is. Let's just hope he can earn part of it on the field.

Baylor vs Mizzou? That is the Big 12 final now correct?
-
PSU will be hard pressed to win with Mr 3rd Team All Big Ten on the court. :ninja:
-
Well let me ask you...what is the Big 10 pecking order at this point? I am thinking.... MSU Illinois Purdue Wisconsin Ohio State Michigan Minnesota Penn State I personally believe all 8 should be in...but if the committee decides that the Big Ten doesn't deserve 8 teams, its pretty clear that Penn State is the team that as of right now is the team that's out. I think PSU should be in though, I think they have the potential to make a run in the NCAAs. what are Minnesota's big wins? Louisville, Illinois, OSU, Wisconsin, Iowa I like how you sneaked Iowa into that list. :thumbsup:

Stupid other teams with stupid hope for the stupid future. My hope for the future is greater than your hope for the future NYAH NYAH NYAH NYAH :P

Also having just watched an Indiana basketball team finish 6-25 I must say it wasn't as tortuously bad a season as I imagined. Mainly because the kids managed to stay close in way more games than I expected. It wasn't like we lost by 20-30 points every night. But thank god it is over and I feel a sense of relief. I do believe we will have an overall winning record next season. \:D/
-
Gottlieb.......yeah I saw that and thought it was pretty damn weak. The Big Ten actually did have some decent OOC games this season. I think the conference was actually stronger this season and that is why you have approximately 8 teams that were still technically alive for a NCAA bid heading into the B10 tourney. It is just the fact we didn't have any sexy, Final Four type teams really. I say PSU is in right now regardless.

More Fink? *sigh*
