Tosh.O was amazing tonight. Onion got old after a few minutes, and can't see anyway that show can stay fresh.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Jan 12, 2011 -> 04:00 AM) Again lol at the refs not calling Battle for that walk, picks it up and takes at least 3 steps before throwing the ball at the rim. Watched the play closely 3 times now, and it doesn't look like an obvious travel. Heck, when Cole bobbled that ball under the hoop to tie it, I was expecting the ref to call a travel.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Jan 11, 2011 -> 05:21 AM) You can't be serious. Brent Musberger is THE VOICE of college football. I'll take Nessler over him any day, as well as McDonough.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Jan 11, 2011 -> 06:16 AM) Because of the glove it just was hard to tell where the wrist begins and the hand ends. Had they said he was down that call would have likely stood. I think the slightly better team won, but I dont feel that either of these teams were the best 2 this year. I think we can all agree that TCU is to blame. Auburn was the best team this year, IMO. Actually, Alabama was the most talented team but for some reason just didn't win every game they played this year.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Jan 11, 2011 -> 06:15 AM) Least exciting game that I have ever seen that ended with a game winning drive. Unless Gus Johnson or Sean McDonough are doing the game, it just seems like the play-by-play announcer is terrible.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Jan 11, 2011 -> 05:13 AM) And talk about an anti-climactic ending. Seriously, all in all a terrible game. And every message board you visit is claiming that was a bad call and the wrist hitting the ground = play is dead.

Well, looks like the 2010-2011 Championship will be vacated in a few years.

Those that had Auburn +1.5 in the 2nd half have got to be pissed.

Where were the Oregon defenders up the middle on that play? Did they really think Auburn was going to do anything but set up for the FG?

Someone needs to tell Chip that anything up the middle isn't going to work against Auburn's defense.

This game is back to being pretty mediocre. I still don't understand why more teams don't do a qb sneak on 4th and inches at the goal line.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jan 11, 2011 -> 02:42 AM) The 43.7% kind of sucks for a big man like him, although he does shoot some 3s. I'm pretty sure that percentage is his 3 point shooting. Terrible half for the Bulls. Taj must have suffered another concussion, cause he kept losing his man on defense.

QUOTE (zenryan @ Jan 11, 2011 -> 02:08 AM) no its not. All because there hasnt been any scoring doesnt mean its awful. No, it's awful. Terrible reads by both QBs

There was some joke in "Shameless" about how one of the young high school guys being gay was almost as bad as being a White Sox fan.

"Shameless" on Showtime was a great pilot, despite the joke made about White Sox fans! "Episodes", on the other hand, might have been the worst pilot I can recall ever watching.

Garza should do great in the NL, but that's a lot to give up for him. Gives the Cubs maybe the most unlikeable 1-2 starters in MLB history.

QUOTE (Ranger @ Jan 5, 2011 -> 10:58 PM) As for the Kotsay thing, it really isn't why they lost the division. They started the season slow on offense (April and May weren't good), but a single hitter wouldn't have changed their fortunes, unless it was Pujols. Plus, there's no guarantee Thome would've even hit during those months either. By June, they were a decent offense and got even better in July and August. Where the Sox really failed last year was pitching issues in August. Too many games and leads blown. They gave away far too many games in the late innings last year, which was not the fault of the offense. Couple that with losing the closer and both setup men to injury at various points, and then the team had real problems. The slow start is what prevented them from running away from the competition and getting a double digit lead when they went 26-5. Kotsay's ineffectiveness during that early part of the season, especially with men on base, had a negative impact on the team.

QUOTE (scenario @ Jan 5, 2011 -> 07:10 PM) Anyone remember the context of Rizzo's comments on B&B the day after the deadline? My memory is hazy but I seem to remember him saying there was no Dunn deal in the works. Rizzo all but stated he wanted Jackson and Viciedo in return for Dunn, and KW wouldn't even consider trading Viciedo.

Arkansas player blew it by diving on the loose ball after the blocked punt. Should have been an easy TD.

Bill Carmody is a very overrated coach. Well on his way to missing the tournament again, and his coaching in the last 30 seconds of tonight's game was awful.

Please just don't let Cutler get hurt. This is insane that he's still in.

Tolzien played a really bad game, as he showed no field vision and didn't handle the clock well at all.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Dec 29, 2010 -> 11:17 PM) When we try to acquire a guy who has an NTC clause at the deadline. When that player has a choice of what contender he wants to go to, and he says "I'm not playing for the White Sox and Ozzie Guillen. That guy runs a freaking soap opera over there." It'll happen, and it may not be something that is recognizable at the time, but it will happen. Players pay attention to stuff like this, and it gets talked about. Our own captain talked after he re-signed about how it was a distraction last year.

QUOTE (Chet Kincaid @ Dec 29, 2010 -> 08:56 PM) He's gonna f*** around and get Ozzie fired. Bernstein making him look like an even bigger ass. Please explain

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Dec 29, 2010 -> 04:15 PM) I remember saying at that time that there was more to that story. It was never really explained, which struck me as really odd. Absolutely, and he was never the same after that.
