  1. Why would Kelley take a step down and coach Michigan or Notre Dame? You can not be serious. Of course I'm not.
  2. Why would Kelley take a step down and coach Michigan or Notre Dame? How has that Syracuse football team been lately Cuse? By the way, I'd be furious if Michigan hired Ferentz, but it really wouldn't surprise me one bit. Hopefully bad enough to get a coach that isn't overwhelmed and confused.
  3. Why would Kelley take a step down and coach Michigan or Notre Dame? So people learn how to spell his name. Gotta proof read, good call.

  5. Meh, Texas isn't that good. K-State has beat them two years in a row, after all. On the theory that the enemy of my enemy is my friend... go Tigers. I agree but they are better than what Kansas played. What the heck happened to your boys this year? The entire town of Manhattan went into a deep, incurable depression when I moved away this past spring. At least that's the story I like to tell. You and Huggy Bear. 45 more minutes before the game. I wonder if the fans here are nervous....a bit shaky? Hammered?
  6. I'm so pissed that I'm stuck with Kansas State-Fresno State right now on ESPN2 instead of this game or Georgia-Georgia Tech. Better you than me! Well....at the very least you can watch the Mizzou vs Kansas game tonight, I hope!
  7. It was nice, you're right! :D
  8. Pat White is really fast. 31-14 WV.
  9. I think Newark is in New Jersey. Just a guess though.
  10. Dusty always hated Teddy Baseball....it's called hitting not walking! Hank was so consistent that he was hardly noticed until he got close to the Babe. He's my pick for most underrated player of all time.

  12. That's the kind of guy that just wants to create attention for himself. If Kansas wins their next 2 they deserve to go.
  13. Link. I'm surprised they don't want Wood for third to replace Miggy.
  14. Then of course OSU may not have to worry about WV winning. Nice opening drive by UConn 7-0.
  15. This is what worries me. WV has a couple of close wins and OSU jumps ahead of them. Of course WV has to win but I can this happening to due the swing votes that LSU had.
  16. With Hendry, you know the latter is what is going to happen. Has there been an offseason with him in charge where he didn't throw a 3 year deal at a reliever? Kerry is just as good an investment as anyone else is out there, and bringing him back for 2 years opens up a lot of flexibility for Hendry. Last offseason he didn't throw a 3 year deal at a reliever. I don't see Hendry signing a huge deal for another reliever without Wood. One, by the time Wood would walk many of the higher priced relievers on the market will be gone. Two, the bullpen hasn't been mentioned as a concern once by Hendry in the last couple months (at least that I've heard), and that wasn't the case in some prior offseasons in which he handed out multi-year deals like candy. I do see him maybe paying a little too much for a left-handed reliever if Wood falls through, but that deal will almost certainly be less than 5 million a year. His budget sounds to be such that after possibly signing Matsui and Fukudome that he wouldn't have enough money to sign too much of a high priced reliever. I think a lot of the 1 or 2 year deal thought process will be how much has Wood worked to keep himself in shape and off the DL? Has he been doing the right exercises and continues to do them or is he right back to doing the same things he did when he had all those injuries. I'd up the offer to 2 if he has been doing his stretches and lifting but if he's back to his same mechanics I'd go incentive big time. Let somebody else pay him to be on the DL.
  17. Dusty is getting his proven closer and hopefully the horses he wants to build the team as he sees fit.
  18. Riders a pretty tough team if they have the same guys as last year.
  19. Go WV!!! What really hurts Kansas is playing just one above average team if they lose to Mizzou even though they only would have one loss. I'm curious if a 2 loss team could ever jump over WV, Mizzou or OSU if they all win out? The networks would freak out if there was a Mizzou/Kansas/WV Champ game. I think that Cincy and SFlorida better move up the polls if they both win.
  20. IMO he's looking for the "perfect" number 2 hitter. Which is as stupid and misguided as his pursuit of the stereotypical leadoff hitter. The Cubs need hitters, not 2 hitters. I ain't a doubting that jcf. Give Jim a call and tell him this please.
  21. I think Hendry should offer him a fair contract with a lot of incentives and if Wood leaves then fine, Hendry did his job correctly.
  22. The announcer (Neb/Col) just said that the top teams (Not LSU) don't have the strong schedule of a Ohio State? Please tell me this guy was kidding?
  23. That I disagree with this statement is a testament to just how bad this deal is. More than twice as much as Pierre's deal. Simply brutal. but Pierre is less than 1/2 the player Hunter is, which is saying a lot Indeed, but I wouldn't count on Hunter to continue to maintain his defense and ability to hit for power unless he utilizes other means as he gets older. So the debate is to either flush money down the toilet or burn it!
  24. and the Pac-10 still has no idea how to play defense. What was the score of that Oregon/Michigan game again? I think talent and speed may have a role in this too. The Big East is fake. Ha...you wish it would just away but it wont...it just keeps on getting better! Defenses just don't seem to catch up with the offenses this year.
  25. I'd be shocked if David Eckstein did roids. I'd say just Will Clark didn't do them but he did cheat by looking at Greg's mouth.
