Anybody getting bored with Ohio State and Alabama dominance? How do they do it every single year? And b.) Miles should have left LSU on his own after last season or the year before. The cliche hit poor Les. Been there 10 years so people with $$$$ get very very tired of you if you are not winning national championships. Good luck to LSU. Their new coach won't do any better, but the cliche hit Les. It was time for him to go; the alums got tired of him. Little surprised OU alums aren't doing the same to Stoops.

And as far as my support of Jesse, well, I don't mean to disparage the military. He was in the military as a matter of fact. But I feel like Hillary is a very bad candidate and Trump is a lol, cmon you gotta be kidding candidate. Gary Johnson doesn't make me feel great about his leading the USA so that leaves Jesse. WHy not vote for him? It's my right.

QUOTE (Middle Buffalo @ Oct 1, 2016 -> 12:40 AM) I don't know that I've seen evidence of you disparaging both top candidates in the same manner, but that's your right. You seem to be a little more aggressive when it comes to HC. I also don't see evidence that you "learn" from things others post. Also your right. You often acknowledge a good point made that is in opposition to one of your posts, which is fairly uncommon in this forum, but then you go right back to posting the same things. On another topic of sorts, I wonder how you can justify saying that you are going to vote for Jesse Ventura, who, last I checked, isn't running. That seems like you are not taking your right to vote seriously. That, to me, is a slap in the face of our military who have sacrificed for that right. Yet, you are so upset that football players are not honoring the National Anthem and flag properly because it is an affront to our military. I am a little more mean toward Hillary cause I despise her elitism and lying throughout the years. I feel like she's being coronated and being given a lifetime achievement award with the Presidency when I feel she'll be our worst ever. However I can't condone Trump. I mean, geez, I am college educated and I feel he is a.) not a good person. b.) a ruthless businessman. c.) will never be able to lead others because when you are that rich you are out for YOURSELF (just like rich Hillary). QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Oct 1, 2016 -> 03:44 AM) You post worthless links to right-wing talking heads and examples and ignore empirical evidence when presented to you. Cmon. That's unfair. I link a lot of people and listen to all the heavy hitters. I don't ignore things presented to me. Most things don't change my opinion, however. QUOTE (Tony @ Oct 1, 2016 -> 04:34 AM) This. You don't engage in any sort of discussion, Greg. You make a statement, usually centered around what you heard on Hannity or what Rush said on some conservative talk show, claim XYZ, then members respond to what you say....and you go dark. You say nothing. THAT'S why people feel the way they do about your posts. I disagree that I 'go dark.'

Now I see what u mean about Brian Badke's coaching. Rice led 14-7 and had the ball 4th and 1 at the 20 yard line or so. They had the QB go under center even though they never do that and not only did the QB get no surge the center got hurt right before half. Carmel took the ball 80 yards and scored and its 14-14 at the break. I think I'd have kicked the field goal since Rice has a good kicker. We shall see if Rice has good halftime adjustments like they've had in the other games. UPDATE: Rice won 49-42 in a thriller. Rice's good running back got injured and was limping badly in the handshake line. It was a great high school game. Rice's defense did reek on this particular night, but did get two stops late.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Oct 1, 2016 -> 01:28 AM) It's fine, we'll just send more students from here in China to pay the exponentially increasing international student fees. Weird thing, I've never had a student in a decade mentioning a desire to go to Mizzou. The Big Ten is really doing a much better marketing job...although obviously having NW, Michigan, Illinois, etc., helps to lift the overall profile of conference schools. Purdue, Penn State and Iowa have a ton of Asian students now as well. How is Kansas doing recruiting? Nonexistent?

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Sep 30, 2016 -> 11:03 PM) The latest Polls Plus has greg775 down 3% to 97% for people who want to see him keep posting in this thread. I mean, SERIOUSLY YOU PROVIDE NOTHING OF SUBSTINANCE. How can you say that? I quote different announcers/broadcasters/shows; I link to a lot of articles; I express my opinions about both candidates whom I dislike. How can you say I provide nothing of substance when I link articles? Just cause I guess I have opinions different from yours I must be worthless poster in your eyes. Again ... I post links and examples.

QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Sep 27, 2016 -> 02:51 PM) Greg with a home win Friday, the last week of the season could pit 8-0 Loyola v 8-0 Rice at Rice......Loyola does not travel well......of course Rice has to get past Carmel and Rita neither of which are what they used to be. If the Rice QB continues playing like he has, they could be the best team in the state along with HF, Loyola and LWE. That Lockport conference is an absolute beast. The CCL Blue gets a lot of recognition but other than Rice and Loyola the other teams make their noise in the lower classes of the playoffs. There is a huge difference between 6A and 8A in the state playoffs. Nice post. Quick everybody will Rice beat Carmel tonight? Give me a score BEFORE the game.

Can you imagine how bad KC would have been this season if Chicago and Minnie had just played .500 ball vs. the Hosmers?

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 28, 2016 -> 08:38 PM) I doubt the Cubs care one bit about the Sox right now. Also, no way they could arrange the move this quickly with the Nightengale tweet a few hours ago. Exactly. Just as in 05 we didn't care about the Cubs at all. There's no way in hell the Cubs care one iota about the Sox. The Sox are a total joke right now, a nonfactor in a division they should be dominating. The Cubs have $$$, they have youth, they are looking at domination for at least 8-10 years. Don't for a second believe they even know there's a team on the south side right now. Sox blew their chance to own the city. Somehow the Sox have to get it back now and it WILL NOT be easy.

Does anybody else hate the word "lozenge?" I think it should be banned from the language. I prefer the Chicago way of saying it. "I'm going to buy some cough drops. Does anybody have a cough drop?" Anyhow I despise Hillary but this story on her coughing is ridiculous. ... http://www.theamericanmirror.com/video-hil...f-coughing-fit/ Lozenge as a word ... yay or nay?

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Sep 30, 2016 -> 10:16 PM) https://www.yahoo.com/news/alicia-machado-i...-162627092.html Wonder if anyone ever had Alicia Machado as the one name that would bring Trump's campaign down? Limbaugh made a great point today. Wolf Blitzer would NEVER EVER have mentioned something about Bill Clinton's indiscretions but he goes after Trump on this today as a gift to Hillary. Look ... Trump needs to all out attack the Clintons now. This is ridiculous. Everybody's jumping on Trump over Alicia. It's time Trump attacks the Clinton family about all of Bill's transgressions and Hillary's alleged making life hell on those who cheated with Bill. Limbaugh had some good points today about this issue. Limbaugh especially attacked Wolf.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Sep 30, 2016 -> 04:45 AM) Why laugh. You can't have students shouting the N word at people without grave repercussions, meaning enrollment declines of monumental proportions. People have to start behaving.

I've been thinking more about this. It's impossible to bring Robin back. How in the hell are the Sox salespeople going to sell ANY season tickets. You can't stay status quo. Our team is too s***ty to stay status quo.

I guess I didn't predict. I can't believe how many people were so wrong, thinking we'd be good. Well, you guys that thought we'd have a good record probably were counting on LaRoche being on the team. Kidding.

Back to the topic ... Maybe the Sox have decided there's nobody exciting available out there. Maybe if the Yankees flop in the playoffs they'll fire their manager and we can get him in a year. Let's face it ... If the Sox can only get somebody like a Martinez or Alomar, why bother? That's what they may be thinking. Robin is a poor manager, sure, but why hire some guy who will likely fail and we'd have to give him at least 3 year contract. Until a good one becomes available we keep Robin. Not saying it's right but it may be the issue here. I do wish Robin would work on his deficiencies. Cmon Robin, the four wins on the road vs. the Central HAS to be addressed. The Sox have some decent players. We shouldn't be THIS bad every year. Don't mistake this post. I want Robin gone, but I'm just saying the people available may suck.

Trouble in Columbia, Mo. A fraternity is suspended cause some members screamed racial insults and got caught doing it on tape. The N word. Seriously ... how can any white person yell that at people? Where do college students develop such hatred? I'm like all of you. I don't look at color ... at all. Why do some people hate their fellow human beings just cause of color?? Sickening. I wonder if Mizzou will still exist in a couple years at this rate.

Does anybody on soxtalk agree with the move to keep Robin? Does anybody think Robin is capable of fixing the recurring problems prevalent in his Sox teams? I love Robin Ventura and would love in a perfect world for him to return and lead us to pennants. I just don't see logically how he can reverse these areas of s***tiness that plague his teams.

So a teenager has a gun and shoots a few people at a school. How wonderful. Very very sad stuff here. http://www.cnn.com/2016/09/28/us/south-car...ting/index.html

QUOTE (CanOfCorn @ Sep 28, 2016 -> 09:25 PM) Here's the thing Greg, I get what you are saying, but men in power only want one thing. Power. If there's no North Korea, there's no power. He is "showing his power" by conducting these tests and pushing the boundaries. His best ally is the us vs. the World scenario. Yes but what about my scenario. Let's say he's told his power is about to be gone. There are N. Koreans outside his mansion and they ARE going to kill him. Doesn't he wanna go down in the history books as the guy who nuked Seoul and started the end of the world?

QUOTE (Reddy @ Sep 29, 2016 -> 12:02 AM) Here ya go, greg Just a few pesky statistics to prove we live in the safest time in the history of human kind. Well I guess you guys are right. Even though it seems very very dangerous. Sad that there was a shooting at a school today.

QUOTE (illinilaw08 @ Sep 28, 2016 -> 02:50 PM) Greg - let's say that Chris Sale throws a complete game, two hitter, with 12 Ks and the Sox lose. The article on the game states that Sale pitched brilliantly in a losing effort. It's a non-opinion piece, but the author used the word brilliant to describe the outing. That's not editorializing. Based on your issues above, however, they should have just put in Sale's line and let the reader infer that the outing was brilliant. Neither is the example above. Trump, unprompted, insulted a beauty contestant's weight. That comment is crude. It is not editorializing to call it that. You present a good argument. But I don't think the writer of the article of the game would say Sale pitched "brilliantly." I think he'd get Robin and others on the Sox and the manager of the other team to say it. Just my take.

I had a feeling they might keep him as we stayed 'near' .500 but really thought the performance vs. our Central Division brethren would cause his ouster. I mean ... they don't even INTERVIEW Robin after the season to see how he wishes to FIX this problem? We basically went winless on the road vs. the Central. Four measly fricking wins!!! Somebody ask Hahn about this at Soxfest. "With all due respect, Mr. Hahn, we won four games on the road vs. Central Division teams. That is an abnormally low total for a team that finished near .500. Sir, how could we keep our manager with such a record of ineptitude. Thank you." I have nothing against Robin. I think he knows baseball. But THERE IS A PATTERN here. Dysfunctional losses that we do not bounce back from; horrific play vs. the Central; refusal to acknowledge our guys CANNOT lay down a bunt and overall pretty bad performances on the road. We are a pretty lousy road team. If I felt Robin could correct these flaws I'd be OK with him coming back. But folks, I just don't think he can fix these issues. My main beef is not even meeting with him after the season. We're just gonna sign him for 2 more years or something???? Ridiculous.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Sep 28, 2016 -> 04:09 AM) What about the remarks isn't crude? If someone called Bill Self an ugly blowhard, wouldn't you describe it as crude? If someone called Bernadette Gray-Little a fat pig, wouldn't that be reckless? Or do we need to have a right-wing talk radio show confirm it? I think you have to write around it and word it differently. Let the quote speak for itself. In a non opinion piece why throw in your opinion? My point is this is how they get Hillary to win by a landslide. It's not fair.

LOL it's just as I predicted. Everybody says Hillary won. All the "legit" cable outlets, newspapers, etc. There's absoultely no proof of her winning. You can spin it any way you want and the media is spinning it as "well prepared Hillary" shuts up mean ol Trump who kept interrupting her of all things! LOL. You ever watch a political TV show? Except for Meghan McCain's show, all they do is scream over each other. And Trump is seen as evil for doing this and Hillary the great shrugged it off and WON!! She is the clear cut winner. No matter there is no proof she won. She in fact was so boring it's hard to comprehend. But she's already been deemed a modern American hero for her epic debate performance vs. the INTERRUPTOR! Give me a fricking break please. And the pundits say how could Trump not attack Hillary on Emails, Benghazi, her husband's infidelities. And if he'd have done that it woulda been WE DO NOT WANT A PRESIDENT that rude! How dare he mention those things! Round Two ... more of the same, then Round Three the heavy knockout punch. The media will beat Trump into submission with the KO after debate three. And in reality ... the debates will all be boring ties. VOTE JESSE VENTURA!

This is an example of the bias against Trump. This is in a news story on CNN.com not an opinion piece. ... The sentence says: "With no apparent consideration for the political recklessness of his crude comments, Trump once again went after Machado's physical appearance, bringing her up on his own." The writer said the comments were "crude" and says they were politically "reckless." Says who? This is how you can tell the writer of the story favors Hillary over Trump. And don't get me started with the TV folks like Chris Matthews. He basically issued a love letter to Hillary making sure he had the first crack at who won the debate. He screamed that it was a shutout with HIllary hitting five home runs to Trump's none. Cmon Chris. Any Trump supporter could point to five zinger lines Trump had that would look good as soundbites as well as Hillary's. If Hillary won, it was by a very very small margin. The bias amazes me.
