It's the same, it isn't fake people, it is their friends at school. It's no different if someone threatened you over phone vs in front of you. One isn't made up because of the medium.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Dec 2, 2014 -> 06:16 PM) My personal fave. That was perfect.

I'm sure you will go far telling middle school kids to care less about their social status.

Ryan just bores me. He coaches the types of teams I've seen too many times and could go years and years before watching again.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Dec 2, 2014 -> 07:00 PM) I wouldnt consider hiring a short time OC from a program a good hire. Top tier programs are supposed to hire proven commodities, at least with some HC experience. Doesn't this answer your own question?

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Dec 2, 2014 -> 09:55 PM) I think that people getting in trouble for them happens very, very rarely. Twitter is actually starting to get some notoriety as a place where it's very easy to harass and threaten people with no consequences. Yes. I'm not sure where I stand legally on this. I think it's a good question to answer for the USSC. However, I think, for media companies, they have a responsibility to help employees with the hate mail. Women journalists just get killed with disgusting comments and emails constantly. Constantly. Twitter, it's just gross. How do they deal? Will they rely on individual flagging? They get in trouble when a popular person gets a tweet removed because trolls flagged it. But ultimately, not sure this isn't their problem.

I would not send that to Oakland for 1 year of Samardjiza. I would hate that deal. I'd hate that deal not because i love those players, but because that basically means we are done with trades because that is all of our talent I wouldn't identify as core prospects.

http://grantland.com/the-triangle/searchin...erence-problem/ I'd hate this (see bulls mention). I can't stand west coast games. 9:30pm games are the worst. I feel bad for every CT team in the west.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Dec 2, 2014 -> 05:53 PM) I think they could easily acquire both Lester and Samardzija. Frankly, they need to as their rotation is incredibly thin. Frankly, the more I think about this, the more I think Beane is using the White Sox as leverage against the Red Sox. The Red Sox are in a much better position to trade for Samardzija both regarding their minor league depth, their major league team, and their ability to spend. I just don't think the White Sox can afford to trade quite a few of their guys right now. That's fine actually, I'm okay being leverage in this situation.

He's a top assistant on a top program with a connection to Nebraska. I have a hard time imagining anyone from Nebraska thinking hiring an Oregon assistant as "vanilla".

Jimmy Butler will be re-signed. There is no question.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Dec 1, 2014 -> 10:56 PM) What is 2 years? He's been an OC for one year. He was named OC after Kelley left. Are you not counting this year as a year?

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Dec 1, 2014 -> 10:33 PM) Its been reported by multiple people so far without it being "official" I guess there could be changes. And we dont hate Frost, he's just been a coordinator ONE year, thats the type of HC jobs that are usually available in MAC level hirings. 2 years? I think it would be a good hire. Nubs clearly wanted someone who would make Nebraska their dream job for years. Never underestimate the alumni's love for a true son. It might not work out but that's why you don't make change for change's sake.

Why do we hate scott frost?

QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ Dec 1, 2014 -> 09:03 PM) Who is your starting second baseman as of now? One of Semien/Johnson. I do not think 2b is a strength right now, and I'm certainly not excited about extending that to SS as well.

QB who throws a lot of interceptions in first half and makes up for it with second half comebacks...no thanks.

I'm really sick of the amount of "fine defensively" players who have not established themselves offensively we continue to peg onto our team. Our defense, collectively, is terrible. If we go into next year with an infield of Gillaspie - Semien - Johnson - Abreu I would cry watching our pitching squandered. None of our infield prospects have forced their way on our team. They have been pretty good in AAA, and bad on the big league team. Until they prove otherwise I'm not going to hold a spot for Semien on this infield.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Dec 1, 2014 -> 08:00 PM) It really is too bad Illinois didn't have a competent AD in place in 2009 to fire Zook while the program still had a lot of talent. A new coach could have taken over, had a couple 8-4 type seasons right off the bat and actually had a chance to build a legit program at Illinois. Sigh. Come, high profile coaches, to Illinois, where the unrealistic expectations of our fans just axed a coach 1 year from a BCS bowl. We'll be 100% behind you though!

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Dec 1, 2014 -> 05:16 PM) One other interesting stat: This years Bears team is scoring less per game (21.4) then the Bears did with Mike Tice as the OC (23.4 PPG). That was with Alshon having not emerged / being hurt most of his rookie season. We also had no one who could play TE that year (remember Kellen Davis, LOL). I feel like that may be due to the amount of defensive touchdowns that unit scored. It was like 11 right?

I think the problem is they won't be able to create a law with language narrow enough to please US SC

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Dec 1, 2014 -> 03:41 PM) I continue to say that as a GM I would not give up a "young bullpen arm" for Dayan Viciedo. I'd rather have the young bullpen arm. I have a feeling that on other message boards, there are fellas clamoring to trade for Dayan Viciedo, who hit for high power and is still young. He can help blah blah blah. Sort of like how Delmon Young was just mentioned.

Deron Williams would probably still be fun on a fast paced team. But sticking him on a slow plodding half court team is just miserable.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Dec 1, 2014 -> 03:18 PM) Niko's up and under, spin off the glass with the foul was so awesome yesterday. One of those euro moves, lol I mean, it's incredible the leap he took. I'm kind of glad that 5 fouls in 4 minutes game happened, it seemed to flip a light switch on that he can't play if he can't stay in the game. I feel like he's stopped going for the steals which were causing him a lot of hand fouls. That, and suddenly he's not getting pushed around on the glass. He's doing a great job getting contested, tough rebounds. Offensively, love everything he's doing. Really fun to watch him now.

QUOTE (thxfrthmmrs @ Dec 1, 2014 -> 05:59 AM) Mirotic has been playing really well as of late. It's going to tough to get everyone enough playing time when Taj comes back. But it's a good problem to have. He's really turned on his rebounding. It would be great if Niko and Taj could man down the forward positions together.

Brooklyn does that for teams.
