  1. nevermind
  2. I couldn't agree more about the dominate teams. I love dynasties in sports.
  3. Why was that? Both school names start with the letter O. Gophers still need a coach.
  4. "This game is going to be won in the trenches". "They left it all on the field". "Throw the records out when these two teams meet"
  5. Close. I'd guess it was the day Geordolph Bushitler leaves office.
  6. Considering how much pub the Sistahz got in the start of their careers, would you consider their careers disapointing?
  7. Rumors around here are Flip Saunders is going become the coach of the Gophers.
  8. Todd high-fives the wrong guy. I don't find poop humor funny.
  9. I seldom have sports related dreams. One instance was back in August of 2004, I dreamt the Red Sox won the Series.
  10. I don't blame him for being confused. The other day I saw a bumperstick that read 1/20/09. Took a couples seconds to figure what that meant.
  11. I think Garvey did it to himself more than the Sklars ever could.
  12. Why are the talking heads insisting the Steelers hire from within when neither Chuck Noll or Bill Cowher came from the Steelers organization?
  13. Well Jayon Stark said. he would vote for Bonds based on the pre-roid years.
  14. Florida or USC
  15. I'd vote for Bonds based on the pre-steroid years. Check out Al's blog. He writes about Dimaggio.
  16. That's why I said "You know you"
  17. Why did players lose votes or have a lower % of votes? Bert Blyleven lost 17 votes. Jim Rice gained 11 more votes but dropped in % of votes.
  18. Tim Raines should be in. He won't be though. Looks like the Goose is going to fly solo next year.
  19. Shit like this is exactly why we need a playoff. Nobody knows what would happen. It seems like every national title game has a team that is a dead on stone cold lock to win and nobody gives the other team a chance to win. 2002 Miami was a team full of NFL players who were going to wipe the field with the "slow and overrated" Ohio State who struggled to defeat every opponent they played. Ohio State won. 2004 Oklahoma is supposed to be the greatest team ever led by all-everything freshman Adrian Peterson and returning Heisman winner Jason White, they proceed to get assraped by USC in the title game. 2005 USC is the new greatest team ever with the greatest offense ever. They get beat by Texas. 2006 Boise State over Oklahoma and Florida over Ohio State, both teams weren't given a chance in hell of winning by any fans or anyone in the media. I realize Boise State is a lot less likely to pull off the upset than teams I listed from previous years, but we don't know - maybe they would. We'll never know though, because this system is a piece of shit. Who besides you know who thought Oklahoma was the greatest team ever? Oklahoma was picked by more people, but it was hardly a monumental upset.
  20. The same thing happened with Mel Ott. He retired in 1947. First appeared on the ballot in 1949. Was finally inducted in 1951.
  21. I'd have to say no. One dimensional singles hitter.
  22. Boise St. wouldn't be in that game either.
  23. According to si.com via the LA Times. The changes in the BCS would be a plus one format. Four teams. Winners of those games play a week later for championship. The other idea is a return to the old format. Than after the bowls, the Top 2 teams are decided and they play for the championship.
  24. One of the voters said it was because Babe Ruth didn't receive 100% of the votes.
  25. Frank Costanza
