fathom

My computer won't let me link it right now, but the CMU youtube video of their bowl announcement is phenomenal.

QUOTE (TheFutureIsNear @ Dec 9, 2014 -> 01:11 AM) One has to wonder how many of these rumors are true at this point. Is there anybody we are NOT interested in? Alex Rios

QUOTE (Jose Paniagua @ Dec 8, 2014 -> 09:37 PM) Ken Rosenthal ‏@Ken_Rosenthal 3s3 seconds ago Sources: Barring late change, Lester choosing between #Cubs, #SFGiants. Cubs fans planning the parade already

I thought The Newsroom was great last night, but Homeland was disappointing after an amazing episode two weeks ago.

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Dec 8, 2014 -> 07:15 AM) So they essentially got Billy McKinney and Dan Straily for free. I wonder who the Cubs trade Hammel to in 7 months. That A's trade last year by Theo is one of the better ones in a long time.

Maybe they would rather have him wait to interview until offseason transaction period is over?

Personally, I think Baylor should make it ahead of Ohio St. Baylor lost to a better team on the road than Ohio St. did, and Baylor also beat a top 6 team in TCU. It's too bad both Baylor and Ohio St. can't make it, as Ohio St. is playing like a top 3 team right now.

Well, that seals Brian Gregory's fate at GT. One of the dumbest freaking hires I've ever seen.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Dec 5, 2014 -> 03:48 AM) Not even close. Terry Shea by a landslide No doubt Shea was awful, just seems the decline in the ST performance since Joe D. started is staggering.

DeCamillis might be the worst position coach in Bears history

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Dec 5, 2014 -> 03:17 AM) The longer this goes on, the more I wonder how you can justify bringing this coaching staff back. They find new ways to be embarrassing every game Yep, not one of the main coaches on this team deserve to be brought back. This team looks like it quit for the night after Forte's fumble.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Dec 4, 2014 -> 10:09 PM) We might as well move to San Antonio at that point because there will be no one going to games on the south side. They won't go no matter what if the Sox don't compete for the division. Just like Reddy, by no means do I want the White Sox to trade Sale. However, if it's a deal that is just far too good to pass up, then they need to consider it. And I do apologize to all for the stupid XBox trade type suggestions. I'm not a fan of the Red Sox farm system compared to the Cubs, who have the bigger impact talent.

QUOTE (ChiSox59 @ Dec 4, 2014 -> 10:05 PM) Yes you would. Let's just say the Sox were to trade Sale and Danks to the Red Sox... The Red Sox, without any doubt, would give up more for just Chris Sale. Adding Danks to the deal would lower the return prospect-wise. Sale isn't getting traded, but if Boston decides to offer Betts, Boegaerts, Swihart, Owens and Cecchini..Rick isn't going to say, "well Ben, I am going to need to to take John Danks as well. Hell, you can keep Mookie." The White Sox can dictate what they want for Sale, in my opinion. If they're not able to clear payroll to go out and acquire an ace to take Sale's role, then you don't do the deal.

QUOTE (ChiSox59 @ Dec 4, 2014 -> 09:01 PM) No it shouldn't. Why lower the return just to get rid of Danks. It's dumb. Danks goes in a move for another overpaid player, or he is on the Sox. It is that simple. They're aren't going to do another "Teahen move" where they pair Danks with an asset just to get rid of him. Dumb dumb dumb. You're not lowering the return by giving up Danks if you're going for all of the young "studs" they have in their organization.

QUOTE (Reddy @ Dec 4, 2014 -> 09:55 PM) Absolutely. But with our payroll flexibility, you trade Sale at his highest possible value, AND sign one of the aces on the market like Scherzer, and you've just stacked your team in two moves. Which is why unloading Danks' contract would be a must in any deal

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Dec 4, 2014 -> 09:45 PM) Nope. It is completely bat s*** crazy. Boston could offer their entire top 5 prospect list, and I would turn it down as not enough. If the Sox trade Sale, they better make the other team take back Danks as well. If the Red Sox want to give the Sox Betts, Bogaerts, Swihart, and a few of their top pitching prospects for Danks and Sale, I think Hahn should do it.

I was lucky enough to do this in 2004, but going to a White Sox game at the Rogers Centre and watching the game from a hotel room was an incredible memory. It's also cool because all the players hang out in the hotel lobby after the game.

Lots of smoke that Lester's going to decide in the next few days. Seems like the Cubs are back to being the likely choice.

Heisey traded to Dodgers. Seems like Van Slyke will be traded.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Dec 3, 2014 -> 02:11 AM) So fathom when Florida State, Baylor, and Ohio State all lose this weekend, it has to be Georgia Tech in that 4th spot right? Very slim chance. They would be competing with Kansas St, who would be fresh off a Baylor win. GT has some bad losses this year which would make it hard for them to win a beauty contest with the current top 10. All I know is no matter what happens this weekend, GT better stay above Clemson.

Anderson dramatically cut down on his errors in the AFL. I wonder if it had something to do with the quality of the first baseman he was throwing to? I know I mentioned this during the year, but it seems like Barnum might be a butcher at first base.

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Nov 30, 2014 -> 05:52 PM) There is no pick involved, Orange Bowl is obligated to take the highest ranked team. I agree that it's a longshot, but there is at least some chance it happens. In any case, the point was about Louisville fans not wanting to root for FSU because of Winston's character issues. I was so stunned when people said that I couldn't even respond. I know there is no pick, as it's all based on ranking. As of today, Clemson is one spot ahead of Louisville. I can't see the committee putting Lville in front of Clemson after this coming week.

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Nov 30, 2014 -> 05:45 PM) GT = 16, Lou = 22, it's not impossible for GT to fall behind Lou with a loss, especially if it ends up not being close. Those rankings are before the GT win at #9 UGA. I haven't read one projection today that hasn't said GT to Orange Bowl is a virtual lock. If GT loses to FSU, they'll have the same record as Louisville with much better victories (at UGA, Clemson), higher SOS and Louisville has no top 25 wins. It's hard to see any scenario in which Louisville ends up higher ranked than GT. Also, sure seems like Clemson would be picked over Louisville

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Nov 30, 2014 -> 05:18 PM) So Louisville has a chance to go to the Orange Bowl, but only if FSU beats Georgia Tech. I've had at least two friends who are Louisville fans tell me that they don't like having to root for a team with somebody as slimy as Winston. Yes, these are fans of Louisville, whose coach is Bobby Petrino. GT is in the Orange Bowl even if they lose to FSU, as they'll still be the highest ranked ACC team besides FSU

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Nov 30, 2014 -> 12:05 AM) I say this every week now but this FSU team is so f***in annoying. Ga Tech is going to get them next week. It's going to be tough, as GT's only true receiver is likely out with a knee injury.
