Great win.

f***ing Irish. They are gonna piss this away. Come on ND, DEFENSE, DEFENSE They have totally dominated this game yet Stanford is in a great shot to win it. They are on the 3 yard line with 1st and goal down by 6.

QUOTE(Gene Honda Civic @ Nov 26, 2005 -> 01:31 PM) Man I'm almost hoping for a OSU/ND fiesta bowl, so that the Pac -10 doesn't get an extra at-large, and for some strange reason the Alamo to take a flier on NW or Minn over Iowa. That would set up a Iowa/UCLA game in the Sun bowl. That would be a game! Ya, thats a game I'd like to see. UCLA is a pretty darn good team in terms of offense, but they have an atrocious defense. Iowa's passing defense ain't grand either, but it would be a fun game to watch at the very least. I hope to hell Oregon doesn't find a way to get an extra BCS game. The only way I see an extra BCS game for the Pac 10 is if UCLA upsets USC (I can't wait for next week for that game).

QUOTE(Gene Honda Civic @ Nov 26, 2005 -> 01:26 PM) Why would the Holiday pass on Oklahoma, who actually wasn't that bad this year, in favor of Colo? I've got a Colo/Iowa match up in the Alamo, assuming the Fiesta is OSU/ND. -- That's an underwhelming match-up to me. I'd expect Iowa to roll. That's an underwhelming matchup for the Alamo too. That would be 2 unranked teams. I'd like to see Iowa play someone better, but I think Iowa is gonna take whoever they are playing. They are a different team right now. I'm leaning towards a PSU/ND BCS game but thats because I'd rather see that as an ND fan. I don't know if the Irish could beat OSU. I think OSU is the 3rd best team in the country (just my personal opinion).

QUOTE(danman31 @ Nov 26, 2005 -> 01:06 PM) Hey Heads, how fun is it to root for a choke job of a school? I'd be contemplating suicide if I were you right now. You must have a nice life. Oh God, I love being an ass.

Kansas is Bowl Eligible ISU are LOSERS!!!!! ISU LOSES, Kansas Wins Colorado Big 12 North Champ ISU = CHUMPS Dan owns you Heads, OWNS You.

Remember Gene...ISU is a better team than Iowa. In fact, Meyer is a better QB than Tate...just ask Heads Lou Holtz is a FOOL

For the game. Go KU

ITI knows jack. I'd ignore this, until you hear it reported elsewhere. 100 million, LOL. Maybe if its 6 yr deal with 3 option years that would make it a 9 year deal. There is zero way to spin a 6 year deal as being worth 100 mill when your name is Rafael Furcal. Also, call me crazy, but that proposed Rangers deal doesn't make enough sense. I'd have to see a couple better prospects involved, but that deal may have some life.

For a second the game looked like it was over, but ISU's TD was taken away upon further review. It was the right call, imo. The ball was not in posession when his foot was down and by the time his elbow went down in the endzone his body had already landed out of bounds.

QUOTE(danman31 @ Nov 26, 2005 -> 02:04 AM) I would love to see Iowa St. lose to Kansas for the mere reason that I am a sedistic human being. Seeing Iowa St. blow the Big 12 North back to back seasons on the last game of the year against an inferior opponent would make me laugh...a lot. That and I wouldn't mind seeing Colorado win the North even though I hate Barnett. This way they are the ones that get embarrased on national tv. I am pulling for the same thing...solely to upset a fellow admin. Thus far ISU is rolling though. They haven't played good, its more Kansas is bad.

You can ModChip the Playstations and Xbox's. I have never done it but I know people that have. I assume it was easier to do on the dreamcast? I know for PS2's or Xboxs you sometimes need to sodder and for Xbox you need to buy a large harddrive to utilize it.

QUOTE(SSH2005 @ Nov 26, 2005 -> 06:48 AM) I don't see how he can add any relievers when we already have El Duque making $4.5 million next season. Thats why I'd like to move El Duque for a solid reliever who could both start and relieve. I realize Duque coudl do that but I think you could find a cheaper option.

Lol, ITI has no inside info. There is no truth to Furcal getting a 100 mill deal.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Nov 26, 2005 -> 05:17 AM) The Florida Papers this morning are reporting that the Marlins may be moving Ron Villione to the Yankess. Now I know he was terrible after he was traded there, but he was very good for Seattle for a season and a half, and could maybe be an option, if KW was still thinking about trading Marte and getting in a replacement. Once again, I'd rather keep Marte. Marte has the ability and has been one of the very best lefty relievers in baseball. Hell he even stepped it up and was key to the extra inning world series victory. Even last year, as bad as he was, he was better than most lefties in baseball (although he really tanked it late in the year). That said, no one is going to tell me the Sox are going to find an equal replacement for Marte without having to give up more value for this new replacement (both prospect wise and financially). It would not be wise to deal Marte and it wouldn't be wise to trade him and not replace him. Ozzie likes using both lefties and he likes using the main horses of his pen, Marte can go back to being that. He had a down year and he will rebound. He showed that he was healthy late in the season and you could see the stuff there. Its just a matter of him getting his confidence back.

QUOTE(SoxPride56 @ Nov 26, 2005 -> 10:13 AM) December 7th Important Dates December 7, 2005 Last date for former club of player who declared free agency under Article XX B to offer salary arbitration. If Club does not offer, then it loses all rights to negotiate with and sign the free agent until May 1 of the next season. The Sox will offer Paul salary arbitration, so they will be able to continue to negotiate with him.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Nov 26, 2005 -> 09:05 AM) Paplebon is in the top 20 but McCarthy isn't? What's up with that??? McCarthy is no longer considered a prospect. He's pitched too many innings, IIRC.

QUOTE(nitetrain8601 @ Nov 25, 2005 -> 05:52 PM) Blame the Cubs for overpaying. They're the ones who set the market. Goddamn though. That's way overpaying for Ryan. He makes as much as Rivera, does he not? BTW, a suggestion: Change the thread title to "B.J. Ryan Has a New Home, Car, Plane, Boat, Cousin..." or "That's One Expensive B.J."

Lots of money and a pretty long term deal.

QUOTE(OldSox2 @ Nov 25, 2005 -> 04:58 PM) I don't remember giving up any prospects for Dye. As for everett, the prospects were not of the sme quality as GIO. Jeremy Reed was a better prospect than Gio and that deal worked out just fine for the Sox. A lot of people over-value Gio. He doesn't have near the trade value a lot of people seem to assume. He's a prep lefty who has not pitched past High A ball who has durability issues (potentially).

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Nov 25, 2005 -> 10:43 PM) Two things jump out at me. 1. The Sox seem to making more of an issue about Joe's back then we are all. I think its alot more serious than most think.... 2. I have seen no direct quotes from KW himself saying anything about Anderson and Owens starting in CF. If anyone can find quotes, wonderful, I wont give it any more thought, but it just seems odd that there is no quotes, nor have I seen any, to back up what people are saying about the Sox wanting Anderson to start,,,, Good inferences Tony

QUOTE(danman31 @ Nov 25, 2005 -> 02:14 PM) Randar 1, Jason 0. Partial credit? I admit, I was wrong. I figured Kenny would go another way, but I kind of thought I was gonna be wrong after a while tis off-season. As long as I'm right on other prospects, such as Bmac You got to be wrong every once in a while and I'm gonna be pulling like hell and hoping like hell that Randar is right and than some on Brian Anderson. I like Anderson and I think he's got the ability to be Torri Hunter (upside wise). Ie, not a great hitter, but a good one who has power, will hit for a mediocre to decent average, will play very good defense and can steal some bases. Hell part of me is flat out excited that I'll get to see two different prospects develop next year (Bmac some more and BAnd).

Finally an expert (not from this board) that agrees with my feelings on Chris Young Surprised to see a couple of last years draft picks in there. None of which are Stephen Drew (well he would be 2 years ago's draft pick). In fact, how the hell is Stephen Drew nowhere near the top on that list. I'd also think Delmon Young would be close. Great to see he thinks Chris Young is a better prospect than Delmon. Oh I assume he feels Drew and Delmon will be in the majors by than? This is a list for guys that will play in 07?

QUOTE(SoxFan101 @ Nov 25, 2005 -> 06:12 PM) Hey Dick Jauron wasnt as bad as some people here are making him out to be. That detroit defense isnt the most talented group and he made them pretty good when they were healthy...... I just hope for his sake he finds a new offensive coordinator. Jauron isn't a bad coach. Nor was Jerry Manuel a bad manager. Matt Millon is a horrid GM.

Great win, wish I saw it.
