    It's a good start! I'm sure USC is also playing ND....is OSU playing any other BCS team? Jesu, Cuse you won't be satisfied until every team in the Big 10 and SEC plays top 25 teams on the road for all their noncon games. How bout you rail on those world beaters in your conference a bit. I want all of them, BE included to do so. Rutgers was the only BE team not to play at least 2 other BCS schools OOC. Nitpick, Cincy only played 1 OOC. With the Big East only playing 7 conference games, they pretty much have to play 1 BCS school OOC just to be equal to other BCS conferences. You're right, Cincy did too. The BE all play each other though and until the other schools do I see that as a tradeoff. I do agree that the BE should play 3 OOC BCS games each year.

    I have no problem with Hendry saying this.

    Jeepers...every coach is using another school to get an extension and more cash. except JoePa Yep...he pays them to coach there.

    You forgot you hate good byes.

    Still waiting for his decision. The Cubs will be able to outbid most other interested teams. I look at this as a Soriano-type situation, where the Cubs will come out blazing from the get-go and make a big offer. Well I do like my Beer cold, music loud and the Cubs offers blazing!

    Always hard to predict that. If they find out Fukudome is coming over here, they'll focus on that. So much hinges on that. I hope waiting for him doesn't come back and bite them because all the goodies may be taken by then.

    Bedard, Tejada, Markakis. If they talked about any of those 3, then good. Otherwise I hope Jim was just hungry like always. Roberts wouldn't be a bad guy to pick up. I wouldn't mind Roberts either, I just prefer to keep Derosa at 2b If the Cubs could swing a Roberts trade and sign Fukedome I think this would make a pretty decent lineup. It frees DeRosa up to play 2B, 3B and RF. The only weak spot would be SS and possibly Pie if he struggles.
  10. CuseCubFan69
    Yeah but 10 of them are against the Cubs!

    Lunch between Hendry and MacPhail leads me to believe they were hungry. I heard that Pacman was their host since he knew all the hotspots in the area.

    That would pretty much ensure that no non-BCS conference school would ever make a BCS game again. Not true. It still leaves room for them and let's face it, a lot of teams try to play the worst (Flor Int) they can. Also, by playing more BCS teams we would have more losses making a Hawaii or Boise St more attractive if they go undefeated. And because of that it would be even tougher for a Hawaii or a Boise State to schedule a good BCS team if they want to and we would have repeats of this year where Hawaii gets killed because they didn't play anybody. I mean, if you're Ohio State and you've already played, let's say a decent team from the Big 12 and another from the SEC, do you really want to play Hawaii on top of that? Of course not. So they'd go and schedule an Akron or a Youngstown State. They don't play them anyways so what's the point? Not only that but a OSU or Florida would never do a home and home with them. My method is better than the 3 or 4 patsies most of the teams play at home. USC did a home and home with Hawaii a couple years ago - 03 and 05. And USC usually plays a lot of good teams while the ones I mentioned do not. Plus, by scheduling in advance how do you really know who's going to be really good or not? If Jones leaves Hawaii they may fall right off the map.

    Party pooper! Who do you see them getting Bruce?
  16. CuseCubFan69
    I really hope that "soon" means tomorrow. And that he'll accept it right away. Would the Cubs still trade Eyre now that they already traded another lefty in Ohman?
  17. CuseCubFan69
    Was he playing hurt? Because he played in 144 games with 544AB's. Teahen had shoulder surgery at the end of 2006 and was never really at full strength in 2007. Do the reports say he will be at 100% for 2008?
  18. CuseCubFan69
    Different administration. Same owner though, right? I'm curious what kind of money Jim is going to offer Fukudome, if he's truly planning on blowing him away to eliminate the competition. 3/45? Wow...is he really worth that type of money? I wonder if it would be better to go after Jones with that amount of money?

    It seems to me Hendry has it in his head to have DeRosa play all over the place. This means he'll be platooning w/ Teahen in RF if that is where he goes. It does leave second still open though.
  22. CuseCubFan69
    If this guy can play second it would be a very nice move.

    it took me forever to make those stupid stat boxes so i'll thank you kindly to not quote them and make them screwed up i understand that they'd want to deal him, i just have no idea why neal cotts as a centerpiece would enter into the conversation. My money is on Marshall being traded for Mclouth. They have enough lefty junkballers. Murton might be their kind of guy. They have a progressive GM. Yeah, you're probably right if that's the case.
