come on JD! ONE TIME!!!!

We've beaten Wickman before...we'll do it again.

AJ AJ AJ AJ It's time!

Had they kicked the field goal instead of going for in on 4th down then they might've had a chance at the end. Only down by 14 with over 8 minutes to go you take the points. Carr coached pretty stupidly IMO.

I don't think Michigan is overrated. They just seem to always struggle or play down to the Irish. Weis deserves a few kudos here. Thank goodness for instant replay. two clear decisions (the fumble in the endzone wasn't clear on the field) that went against us on the field were both correctly overturned.

Of the Hot chick running in a yard? Who had it? I haven't seen it recently. Anyone?

watch Row put one on the board...

I see nothing degrating in this:

bty- i think the author is being sarcastic implying the Indian mascot ban is stupid.

Most Irish are proud of Notre Dame. I know I am. Their nickname is the sole reason I became a fan in the first place...We're Irish.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Aug 4, 2005 -> 07:21 PM) News from Spector; There was an Allison to Buffalo rumor today, that's been debunked. I hope Tallon is on the phone to his agent, cos he'd be my #1 target right now. Updates List of UFA: Centers Jason Allison, Los Angeles; Andrew Cassels, Columbus; Vincent Damphousse, San Jose; Jim Dowd, Montreal; Ron Francis, Toronto; Chris Gratton, Colorado; Travis Green, Boston; Brian Holzinger, Columbus; Eric Lindros, N.Y. Rangers; Mark Messier, N.Y. Rangers; Rem Murray, Nashville; Andrei Nikolishin, Colorado; Yanic Perreault, Montreal; Jozef Stumpel, Los Angeles; Shaun Van Allen, Ottawa. Right wings Donald Audette, Florida; Peter Bondra, Ottawa; Valeri Bure, Dallas; Anson Carter, Los Angeles; Eric Chouinard, Minnesota; Adam Deadmarsh, Los Angeles; Rob DiMaio, Dallas; Tie Domi, Toronto; Jean-Luc Grand-Pierre, Washington; Alexander Mogilny, Toronto; Vladimir Orszagh, Nashville; Owen Nolan, Toronto; Ziggy Palffy, Los Angeles; Teemu Selanne, Colorado; Scott Young, Dallas. Right now as of this moment, we've got $18,894,000 locked up into 12 players according to TSN. The Spacek deal was for 1 year $2.25 million, wow. http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/feature.asp?fid=7006 Names that stick out from the UFA list that haven't been mentioned yet; Cassels - Yeah he's 36. Yeah he was terrible in 03 with a -24 and only 26 points in 58 games. But the year before for Columbus he had 68 points in 79 games. If we miss out on a #1, and need a #2 center to push Arny up to the #1, Cassels wouldn't be the worst option, points wise. Not the toughest player of all time though. Carter - Wouldn't be a bad RW for us. Kind of like Cassels, bad 03 but a good record the previous 2 years with 60 points. Perreault - 2nd line center, excellent faceoff guy, good powerplay scorer. Mogilny - Up there in age at 36. But he's got a great record and if the price is right, well we need a guy who can get points from the RW besides Mark Bell. I think Bulin holds the key to our offseason success. if he signs soon, other big names might follow. we'd still have the cash for Jason Allison, Alexander Mogilny, and another d-man like Hamerlik. man, the thought of a number 1 line of Allison, Rutuu, Mogilny followed by the ACB number 2 line and the newly revamped third line with Lapointe has me feeling excited. Daze and T-bo become trade bait for picks and salary cap space next season. of course these are the Hawks so i can stop now. PROVE ME WRONG DALE!!!!

Alexander Mogilny isn't the 50 goal sniper anymore, but if we're planning on sticking Rutuu at the number 1 center spot (rather not, but he can play it) i'd like to give him a look.

isn't there a new clause for often injured players that their bonus won't count vs the cap if they get hurt again? if so, i'm all for Lindros (for 2.5 mil) and would LOVE to get Allision in here.

How does it work again? You put a player on waivers... A team claims him and you can pull him back or let that team take him? If the player clears then you can trade him?

yeah baby. 3 more outs!

QUOTE(nitetrain8601 @ Jul 23, 2005 -> 12:28 PM) Not so fast. If you lose, you have to join Crede's Crew and if you already are a member, you have to put the Crede's Crew pic in your avy. I'll take that bet, but you have to eat my shoe

just do it.

i'm not getting drafted.

yup

i'm waiting for the 360 version. if for some reason 360 is delayed, i'll ask santa for madden.

Can I transfer? Zona sucks.

you cannot skip the cutscenes. BUT they're only about 2.5 seconds long now....i counted the long ball is still kinda easy to complete online, not for me, but against me! I have to set it up with play action, but my cb's suck. User picks are a lot easier too! And guys that drop back 15 + yards in the pocket are dead meat. The DE's are killer too. It appears that the OT's will block a DE around the qb creating as much as a pocket as I've seen on an EA football game. Scrambling qb's can still dance around, but Brady Quinn is dead meat! You can now just press the green (a) button on xbox to qb scramble. instead of bringing the passing cursers up and down no receiver is marked a.

QUOTE(Soxnbears01 @ Jul 9, 2005 -> 07:22 PM) glad to hear the game is fast because last year's version was god awfully slow. I'm sorry but i don't need a 5 second cutscene of nothing after every play. when i say fast, i mean the gameplay itself. it's like 05 on speed. there's still cutscenes. but the speed of the game is crazy fast. it forces you to take the proper angles to tackle, one miss and the kid is gone! #3 on FSU is a madman. he's run all over me quite a few times, but he always winds up fumbling at the worst times...leading to a few last second wins for me and the irish. bty-darius walker is awesome in the game.

there isn't an option (that i can find anyway) for editing your ea tracks...turning certain songs on and off. just the whole thing..ea tracks or bands when you switch them back and forth it does play a song. here's what i saw on there: de la soul (me myself and i) no fx superchild guided by voices mt experience jaw breaker pixies lush clash (train in vain) it's neat. when you first turn it on you get a THX sign and the noise like a dvd or film. then when you reach the menu it shows actual gamefilm/highlights. this game rocks. takes some getting used to, but man is it fun. haven't played any race for heisman (except for creating my character) or dynasty since i'm waiting for my rosters.

let me check the ea tracks. there is an option to turn the college bands back on and i did, so i don't know off hand. wait one.
