    Albums of the year 2011

    The new Wilco record was awesome. Their show last week at the Val-Air was rock and roll heaven. I love that band. Also loved the King is Dead by the Decemberists. Dye the World by the Smith Westerns, and the new Deer Tick record I'm totally blanking on. Struggling a little with the new...

    The Big 10 Hail Mary

    I would think they would if presented with both options. Their AD did pop off about their contact with the Big 10. That's turned them off before.

    The Big 10 Hail Mary

    Rutgers is talking to the Big 10 too. It's reported in the Chicago Tribune. They will go Big 10 before ACC and the Big 10 hailmary begins to look like an even longer shot.

    Ask yourself

    Just when I thought I was out, you sucked me back in. Please be correct about this.

    *****The Super, Mega, Huge Big 12 Expansion Thread*****

    Why is Beebe going around from school to school? Is it to tell us we are boned or is it to tell us how to save the league? Is it a goodbye tour? What's the thought out there?

    *****The Super, Mega, Huge Big 12 Expansion Thread*****

    It's amazing the trajectory of this story. The ups and downs, the surges of optimism followed by utter hopelessness. It's truly high drama that's completely unenjoyable but addictive at the same time. Assuming that this all works out in our favor I feel like we will have phantom pains for...

    KXNO Reviews

    He worked so hard on his voice but unfortunately he doesn't have anything interesting to say with it.

    *****The Super, Mega, Huge Big 12 Expansion Thread*****

    It feels good to be on the other side of one of these rumors. Finally, the Big 12 springs to life!

    MLB: Hendry out as Cubs GM

    I like Lofton too but going into 2004 our OF was a logjam. Sosa, Alou and Patterson. You can play the hindsight game now with Patterson but he was the next big thing at that point and was coming off a good 2003 before he got hurt. Lofton wanted to start and he's a pain in the ***, which is...

    MLB: Hendry out as Cubs GM

    I was talking about position players. That's not super clear in my post though. We have gotten our share of pitchers up and were able to trade many more.

    MLB: Hendry out as Cubs GM

    They aren't connected. We didn't have to take either one. We could have our own player developed from our system. That's were the Cubs need to get to and where Hendry proved he couldn't take us. He started in 1994 as player development director and was promoted on the strength of a system he...

    MLB: Hendry out as Cubs GM

    Juan Pierre was a slightly above average outfielder for the Cubs. He was not worth what we gave up for him, nor was it a mistake to not pay him the 5yr-$44M he got from the Dodgers the following offseason. He's nowhere close to that as a ball player as the Dodgers learned when they benched...

    Was it started by Ray Ratto? He struggles with satire.

    *******

    I agree. I assume it's supposed to be a satire of conference realignment but it completely fails on that level. It comes across as beating on ISU. Or maybe the NFC North. It's so bad, I can't tell. The guy should stop by the Onion offices or at least watch the Daily Show a couple of times.

    *****The Super, Mega, Huge Big 12 Expansion Thread*****

    Does it help ND's situation? Their schedule is soft as hell and they are guaranteed a BCS game if they have a reasonable standing in the poll. That's not necessarily the case in a conference set up. It's not just the independence it's the traditional schedule they play. They won't want to...

    *****The Super, Mega, Huge Big 12 Expansion Thread*****

    I don't want to be negative and I'm searching for glimmers of hope in this mess but I'm real worried now. Why would schools in good situations (ND, BYU) want any part of this heartburn? Who wants to hop in bed with Texas right now? Can we show them enough money to make it worthwhile? From...

    *****The Super, Mega, Huge Big 12 Expansion Thread*****

    A&M would make 13 in the SEC. Who will be the 14th? Is it another Big 12 team or do they poach someone from the ACC?

    NFL: Bears, Tatupu Have Mutual Interest

    I don't mind taking some flyers on guys like Okoye, Gholston and Roy Williams but they had some real needs that they needed to fill. They need another CB as nobody should expect what they got out of Tim Jennings again. You traded away Olsen (who I didn't like either but he was a hot read...

    MLB: Carlos Zambrano at it again

    If the person saying it is Carlos Zambano with his history of spectaclular outbursts and mixed with spectacular flameouts, I'd be sick and tired of what he has to say. A guy with his track record doesn't get to call-out teammates. If he wants to frame it as a team issue fine, he doesn't...

    MLB: Carlos Zambrano at it again

    Almost positive that he has a team option. He's gone too.
