Forgot the Orange Bowl was on. Why do they wait so long for the title game Monday?

QUOTE(sox4lifeinPA @ Jan 3, 2008 -> 08:55 AM) totally agree. I read this stupid article on EW.com that said Letterman will gain in popularity because of the writer's strike (because of the deal he's worked out independently.) the only problem being....HE'S NOT FUNNY. Agreed. I never liked Letterman. When Conan takes over for Leno, Conan will kill in the ratings.

Gordon is good...except in the last minute.

QUOTE(BearSox @ Jan 3, 2008 -> 08:35 PM) It's just hit me that Ryan Sweeney is no longer a White "Sock"... I am really sad right now. It's more like he is no longer a Charlotte Knight.

I'm willing to bet we extend OC sometime during the year.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Jan 3, 2008 -> 02:51 PM) Iowa is horrid. I wouldn't be stunned if they were dead last. They played Indiana tough yesterday, but I guess if you give Iowa a few weeks, they'll become...well...Iowa again. It is so depressing how bad Michigan's program is come. Curse of Steve Fisher.

Wait, you have to call plays? I agree, a lot of times my guys just stand around. They don't mention plays in the manual. I like the game a lot except that it lags a tad on PS2. Best Buy had a bunch of PS3's for $350 yesterday, almost got one but I just can't afford it right now. Look at me all responsible...I hate it.

QUOTE(SoxFan562004 @ Jan 3, 2008 -> 12:50 PM) Saw Sweeney Todd last night, I loved it. It is extremely bloody, so if you're taking a friend who is squemish I would give them a heads up. I saw the revival on Broadway in 2006 with Pati LuPone and thought it was every bit as entertaining. They did a good job expanding the limitations from the stage. The cast was great. Bohnem-Carter (sp?) especially stood out, she was phenomenal. I got passes from work for this. Just have to find the time.

Ha Ha, same here, Balta. Except I took a two hour nap. Sucks we gave up both Gio and DLS, but works for me.

That is the thing, when I do that with the shot stick with a big man, he dunks, but Josh Bone missed a bunch of lay ups yesterday cuz he threw it up short from near the bucket. I'll figure it out.

Kerry Collins, speaking on WFAN, said that the Titans kneeled down at the end of the Colts-Titans game because they knew the Colts wouldn't call a timeout. Collins said that the Titans originally called a running play, but he was told over his headset that the Colts wouldn't call a timeout to potentially force Tennessee to punt with less than 20 seconds left. Pressed further, Collins said the Colts and Titans coaches had "a communication," which is sure to raise collusion questions. Clearly it would have been a long shot for the Colts to win, but Browns fans won't enjoy hearing this one. Related: Browns, Colts

QUOTE(IlliniKrush @ Jan 2, 2008 -> 10:42 PM) I used to think Stoops was one of the best coaches in the nation. Oops. That onside kick call, among other things, was ATROCIUS. The call to kick it and the kick itself were a joke. did it go 7 yards? I think Stoops is still a good coach. They will have a top tier team next year.

I'd be nice if Randal would stay out of foul trouble. Plain and simple, we lost Young and Tatum and nobody is replacing their scoring. Not only their scoring, but we can't close out games. See SLU and Butler game. We may just have to take our lumps this year, and that sucks because Falker maybe my favorite Saluki ever and to waste his senior year kills me.

I so remember that Pippen commercial. Wasn't there one with Horace Grant as well?

Got College Hoops 2K8. Whenever I have a transition lay up chance, I end up shooting from 5 feet and can't get my guys to do lay ups. My big guys dunk but I can't get anyone to do a lay up. Ends up a jumper from 5 feet.

Pizza Rolls rule

QUOTE(MHizzle85 @ Jan 2, 2008 -> 12:43 PM) Coachman to be the color guy on Smackdown. Racist. When can Kevin Nash come over and announce?

I laugh at ESPN saying that "The USC dynasty continues."

Thanks to DVDs, I am now caught up on "My Name Is Earl". Loved the episode is season two where they harassed the reporter. Earl dressed as a runner ruining the ribbon ceremony was gold. Noticed that a lot of new shows are showing new episodes again starting next week. We'll see how long that ends.

QUOTE(IlliniKrush @ Jan 1, 2008 -> 11:41 PM) Why am I still watching this game? It's 8-2 Last couple of mins there have been teases of a fight. Maybe something will break out.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Jan 1, 2008 -> 11:22 PM) You do understand I was being sarcastic right? Nopers. My bad. USE GREEN!

QUOTE(Rex Hudler @ Jan 1, 2008 -> 09:49 PM) Did I mention that I absolutely HATE the fact that Fox has the contract to broadcast the BCS games???? Tonights game is taking forever. Are the commercial breaks like 5 minutes?

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Jan 1, 2008 -> 08:55 PM) I almost took my new TV back because of the blur from all of that SEC speed today. That slow Maize and Blue team looked like they were stuck in mud. Ha. You didn't watch the whole game, did you? Did those defenders look slow as they were knocking Tebow to the dirt all day and putting pressure on him. Michigan's defense played a lot better than the 35 points they gave up, mostly because of the turnovers.

QUOTE(Rex Hudler @ Jan 1, 2008 -> 07:32 PM) Actually Mike Hart got hurt and missed two quarters in the opener. So no, there were zero weeks this season that this team was healthy. There were severel other supporting players that were hurt going into that game as well. You are correct. Thought the Oregon game is when he got hurt first.
