Finally an opportunity for Paul Hewitt to leave Ga Tech and go coach professionally!

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jan 20, 2010 -> 05:30 PM) Whose going to last longer...McDermott or Lickliter. Both have been massive busts. I think Lickliter stays longer. McDermott has done just a brutal job with pretty good talent this season. Lickliter has some decent young players at Iowa, but you never hear them mentioned with top 50 prospects.

Heads, how much longer can McDermott last in Ames? Staiger left the team today to play overseas.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Jan 20, 2010 -> 04:58 AM) f*** this Illinois team. Can't hit free throws, can't box out, can't keep a lead. They don't deserve to win It's a one man team right now. McCamey is really having a great junior season. Davis looks to have found a little confidence in his game, at least. When you're down 8 against a tournament team and have Jordan, Griffey, and Cole on the court...you know recruiting misses over the last few years are killing you.

What happened to Purdue? They have no confidence in their game at all. Just a few weeks ago, they looked amazing against WVU. Seems like some really bad recruiting for Purdue since the outstanding junior class.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Jan 19, 2010 -> 05:22 AM) The Texas/KSU game has been a terribly played basketball game. Yep, one of the most annoying games I've ever seen. Give credit to Kansas State crowd, as they've been the only redeeming aspect of this game. As I said the other day, this might be the worst basketball season in a long time with regards to talent level.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Jan 19, 2010 -> 02:03 AM) i thought that's why they signed andruw jones, no? to dh? Exactly...mediocrity!

I would take him in a heartbeat as our DH over the mediocrity we have right now.

Keep seeing these headlines "White Sox agree to terms with..." and I hope it's a player not already in the organization.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Jan 18, 2010 -> 10:45 PM) There is no real good way to ever judge conferences. I just was wondering what would make anyone think Big 12 was #1? I can see arguments for a variety of different conferences, just Big 12 seems a stretch. I think the depth of the conference is a great measure. Iowa really drags down the Big 10, as that's an automatic victory really, as is DePaul in the Big East. Miami is a pretty strong last place team in the ACC this season.

QUOTE (danman31 @ Jan 18, 2010 -> 10:25 PM) ACC proved it's not in a good year after the Big Ten/ACC Challenge. Big 12 is probably a solid #2 in the conferences. People put way too much stock into the B10/ACC Challenge to determine the strength of either conference.

Probably the two worst fits for Dye in all of baseball. San Diego's outfield is just so damn spacious, and RF at Wrigley is an extremely difficult position to play. From what we saw from Dye the last few years, I don't think he'd take too kindly to playing 3 times a week.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jan 18, 2010 -> 08:51 PM) He's a Cub, of course he will be good... Or you can go back and read the article in Baseball America before the 2008 season where he talked about losing 30 pounds, and check his stats the following season.

QUOTE (zenryan @ Jan 18, 2010 -> 03:15 AM) It's taking everything I got to keep the channel of FOX during the premier for 24. So boring. I actually thought Human Target was a lot more entertaining.

The blonde in the picture is Kiffin's wife. Nothing to see here to create a scandal, unfortunately.

QUOTE (Melissa1334 @ Jan 18, 2010 -> 03:07 AM) um...well since he lost all that weight, or came off of peds, etc, does this mean hes going to suck or be good because he lost weight? He'll be good

Wow, did anyone notice the Cowboys on that last kickoff? It looks like all of their players besides the kick returner tried to take out the Vikings defensive players with cheap shots. Might explain why there were like 7 Vikings defenders by the returner and no other Cowboys players.

Jersey Shore is great television.

JaJuan Johnson continues to make some of the most bone-headed fouls. The competition level in college basketball is way down this season, as the top 10 teams have been less than impressive.

QUOTE (knightni @ Jan 16, 2010 -> 09:53 PM) Sounds like Soto went to the Ivan Rodriguez school of weight loss (ie. off of the PEDs) Just like he did before his ROY season. He's a joke.

QUOTE (qwerty @ Jan 14, 2010 -> 10:18 PM) We got ryan braun?!? Awesome, he'll be a great platoon man with Kotsay.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jan 14, 2010 -> 10:57 PM) Rotoword says Jose Valverde signs with Tigers. Damn

Bill Simmons reporting that next week is Conan's last week with NBC.

DA, you know you're my favorite poster on here. With that said, I'm getting frustrated seeing the same argument between you and SS2k, etc. I'm sure a lot of posters on here just skip these long posts, even though I'm sure they're well written and insightful.

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Jan 13, 2010 -> 08:00 PM) Keeping Jones on the bench, IMO, is just dumb. He's better than his numbers have shown the last few years. Do you know about the club hiring Manny Alexander or something to say this?
