  1. Anyone see the Miami-New England score? :shock: :shock: :shock:
  2. In fairness, it wasn't apparent that Indiana was a bad team until tonight. I actually had hope for this season........now, not so much. :banghead:
  3. Seriously I just love the way Len approached treyz's posts.
  4. The same thought just crossed my mind. But I do believe it is the first time Ball State has ever beaten a BCS conference school. I would say this - for the BSU fans, it is a huge win for them. Again, they beat a BCS school finally (albeit a crappy one) and they owed us one from the game we stole in Muncie two years ago. But on a national level, nobody is going to look at it as a signature win. They already had Top 25 votes before this week so they aren't completely under the radar. It won't look like nearly as good a win when IU completely tanks the entire Big Ten season and finishes with 3 or 4 wins.
  5. You guys really are fun to listen to, you play off each other very well I think. And as far as the guy saying you aren't really a Cubs fan, I think it would be darn near impossible to fake the enthusiasm you put out when a big HR is hit or some other huge event happens during a game. If all that was fake then you should be putting your resume in for a Hollywood job. All I can say is ATTABOY LEN!!! :good:
  6. I want to cheer for good teams that do good things like.......I dunno, LSU maybe? BANDWAGON FTW! \:D/ Nah but seriously.......42-20????? Really? Hey Bill Lynch I hope you sleep good tonight!
  7. Indiana has not lost to a MAC team in a damn long time in football. It's not looking good tonight though and although the Cardinals have a really good team, this loss will just help kill whatever momentum the IU football program was trying to build this season. The casual fans will say "SAME OLD IU" and give up once again. And the way our defensive front is getting shoved around by BSU, I fear for our Big Ten lives. Michigan State will meat grind us again next week. :(
  8. On the IU radio broadcast they said Love had a tingling sensation. They have taken him to Methodist Hospital in Indy. Hopefully he is okay.
  9. Dante Love got knocked out and they brought his family down onto the field. Wow. Edit - they carted him off but he was talking to the medical people so at least he is awake now. Just taking precautions hopefully.
  10. Huge fumble return TD for the Hoosiers! \:D/
  11. DeRosa just said that Edmonds just told them in the locker room to "keep an eye on the prize". I like the way you think JimmY! :good:
  12. 2 outs, runners at 1st and 2nd now.
  13. Okay fine but Braun mumbled about striking out the last inning and I didn't see him get ejected.
  14. Indiana versus Ball State - first test of the season for IU. I'm not sure what to make of the Hoosiers yet. The defense has looked improved but it is hard to say that is really the case due to the low level of competition so far. Ball State will certainly test the defense and we'll see what is what. Getting to 3-0 heading into the Big Ten opener with MSU would be nice.
  15. Anyone have the Pat & Ron audio highlights yet?
  16. The other cool thing about 1989 was the Fort Wayne newspaper would count down the Cubs magic number on the front page every day. \:D/
  17. good call. i was really young, but i was already full immersed in cubdom, so i snuck out and watched the postgame celebration from behind my dad's recliner. when did we clinch? i have this memory of doing it in montreal, and hearing harry caray say "the joy of victory" as the camera showed the cubs celebrating, and "and the agony of defeat" as it showed andres galaragga in the expos' dugout, but i've never been able to remember if it was true or made up. that's funny, because i can never tell if my memory of it is real, or if its been exaggerated over the years. i remember being in the back seat of the family's station wagon while my dad and i waited for my sisters buying leotards, and it was on the radio... mitch williams probably wasn't even on that team. The 1989 Cubs gave me a false sense of security. See, that was only my 3rd full season of following the Cubs so I did not take the playoff defeat too badly as I naively thought the Cubs would just be that good every season going forward. :( Didn't Mitch Williams walk the bases loaded then strike out the side in the home opener against Philly that season? I seem to remember that....vaguely. I had to listen to most of the games on WGN back then because my folks did not have cable TV. My primary memories of the playoffs were of the Cubs blowing a chance to win each of the 3 games in SF. And my first Cubbie hero Andre Dawson choking like a dog in that series. :banghead:
  18. From what I recall, there were only two balls put in play by Houston that I felt might be hits off the bat....the one line drive that went right at DLee and then Blum's drive to right field in the 8th. Everything else was routine.
  19. And short of the Cubs winning the World Series or clinching the NL pennant, this is the most special moment in my time as a fan I do believe. I always wanted to see a Cubs no hitter....I remember when Jose Guzman came within one out against Atlanta in 1993.....OMG it finally happened. It happened. \:D/ \:D/ \:D/
  20. You all can thank me. Back in the 4th inning I decided I better not move from my spot on the couch or it would jinx the no hitter. :yahoo: \:D/ :thumbsup:
  21. Try 676 Tried it. "Channel not purchased." I get the MLB package, but not the regionals package. I think I'm SOL. Oh okay. I have the Sports Pack. Just buy it for one night and cancel it tomorrow....only pay a prorated charge. :thumbsup:
  22. Lovely! It works here in Fort Wayne too!
