Where did this talk about getting Rowand start?

So earlier KW talked about a potential Wednesday deal that would be "full circle and come back to us". He means Gio?

http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/hotstove06/n...tory?id=2688380 Freddy for Gio and Floyd. That's it.

How did Gio fare last year anyway?

Heard it too.

Best news of the offseason.

JD Drew to Red Sox for 5 years, 70 million? Anyone got further confirmation on this yet?

Zito should be getting about 100 mil a year based on this.

QUOTE(kyyle23 @ Dec 5, 2006 -> 03:50 AM) Tell me, from a pure Nintendo fanboy Zelda addict perspective: How good is Twilight Princess? Orgasmic. The game is absoluty fricken huge. It takes minutes just to travel across Hyrule field. Its certainly long too, I heard about 70 hours. I'm 20 hours in and have only beaten 2 temples. It's a bit like OoT, but that's not a bad thing. I'd say OoT is only slightly better, but it's close.

I'm addicted to Zelda.

If John Cena breaks this, I will throw up.

One of those three does not belong with the others.

I played against Budinger on the volleyball circuit. Kid was amzing with his 40 inch hops. Awesome to see him tear Illinois up today, although I do believe he should have stuck with volleyball.

QUOTE(knightni @ Dec 2, 2006 -> 06:35 AM) ND has played Tennessee the last 2 years. They've played Florida St., Pittsburgh, Ohio St, Nebraska and Boston College in the past as well. Notre Dame has teams locked in as traditional matchups. USC - every year since 1926 Navy - every year since 1927 Purdue - every year since 1928 Michigan St. - every year since 1936 Stanford - every year since 1988 Michigan - most years since 1978 beginning in 1887 Pittsburgh - most years since 1930 Air Force - most years since 1969 So, they play 6-8 same teams every year. leaving maybe 3-5 extra games a season - not much room. They played Army this year because the NCAA allowed a 12th game and Army had an open day. Future schedules show Duke, San Diego St. etc because of agreements ND had to make in order to move a game a few years ago. What point, exactly, are you trying to make? Are we supposed to pity them now because they like playing the same teams for most years? And by pity, I mean reward them with a BCS bid. I really don't follow CFB all too much, so I shouldn't say who gets a BCS bid and who doesn't. However, the schedule argument for Notre Dame is, well, dumb. "But they try to schedule hard" is a lame argument that makes no sense for why Notre Dame deserves a bid. The same goes for the argument stated in the quote. I don't care if you schedule thousands of years in advance. If it turns out weak, you still do not deserve a free pass.

QUOTE(IlliniKrush @ Dec 2, 2006 -> 01:15 AM) Wow, talk about missing his entire point. It's simple. It doesn't matter how much effort they put into scheduling tough teams and its their own problem that they have to schedule 12 games of their own. If those teams turn out bad, then they have played a weak schedule and (based on their results this year) do not belong in the BCS. They could schedule USC, OU, OSU, LSU, Florida, etc all in the same year. If those teams were to all turn out bad for whatever reason, then they have played a weak schedule. This is not hard to understand. "But they try to schedule hard" remains the least convincing argument on why Notre Dame should be in a BCS bowl.

QUOTE(Rex Hudler @ Dec 2, 2006 -> 01:01 AM) Teams in conferences have to schedule three or four games. Notre Dame has to schedule 12. I'm willing to bet it's not as easy as one might think. Again, their own fault. Again, they did not win against tough competition this year to belong in the BCS.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ewP1zfm_Yqg I guess this is kind of bad, but funny no less.

@%$#@$#$#@%$#@

QUOTE(Rex Hudler @ Dec 1, 2006 -> 05:18 AM) So it didn't work out as the strongest schedule this year. But to act as if ND schedules weak intentionally is not only inaccurate, but ignorant how how college football works. Wether it is intentional or not is well besides the point. Fact is, they did not play enough tough competition this year to belong in the BCS.

QUOTE(That funky motion @ Dec 1, 2006 -> 03:30 PM) I sure hope whoever comes in, changes the winner of the all star game has home field advantage. Meh, I like that idea. It's better than most others to decide home-field advantage.

Unfortunatly Pefect Dark can't be on there due to legality issues. Their still trying to get GoldenEye though. So far I've downloaded only Bomberman '93 which was for some console I've never heard of. As for the breaking TVs by throwing the remotes, yeah I've a ton on that, even seen the pictures to back it up. My wrist strap already broke, but luckily I did not lose control of the controller. Their only connected by really thin string for whatever reason. I'm sure Nintendo will be fixing this soon.

From the challenge so far, none of Illinois, Duke, or Indiana impressed. I don't think any are top 25 teams.
