that wasn't really the point, but saying "hey if all that bad stuff wouldn't have happened we would've only lost by less." Your turnovers weren't boneheaded mistakes, they were forced by the heavy pressure USC was getting and good tackling. And it's not like you have tom brady back there throwing the ball, some int's should've been expected from juice. USC showed up to show that they were still among the best in the nation after having suffered the most embarrassing loss of the year, and they did that. Unfortunately, it's what we all predicted and all the bcs matches that everyone said would suck have sucked, unless either of these BCS games thrilled any of you.

I don't really like the argument by the illini fans about if there were no turnovers it would have been a respectable 2 td loss. Turnovers are forced for the most part. You guys said the same thing about the game vs. us. Painful sugar bowl. You don't think the folks down there would've rather had missouri instead? Whatever, we did what we had to do and had a great season, it was nice to wake up hungover and not have to be stressed by a close game. T. Temple, i'd love to have ya back if the miracle appeal goes through, but hell of a way to end it. also. Willy mo, You are my favorite still. (get drafted by the bears in 2 years.)

Their frosh QB got rattled at an away game. Neutral field i think OKL can go step for step with anyone and probably convincingly win.

once again, maggs, i think you are forgetting oklahoma.

i'd make the argument for oklahoma taken on USC.

absolute destruction of arkansas, especially touching after all that s*** they were talking about how we couldn't keep up. TT said F'all. and btw, in addition to not getting a BCS game, and getting a 1030 time slot (aka hungover slot), we also got the worst announcing team. Thank you NCAA.

I"m not that impressed with LSU, they've been living off of pre-season reputation and a blowout victory against Vatech in the early season. You can act like the SEC is some super conference, but you'd think that after playing all the hard teams they'd blow Ole' Miss outta the water, but that was close too. They have all the talent in the world, it's one of the reasons i'm not that impressed with les miles.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Dec 30, 2007 -> 11:35 PM) LSU's speed advantage is a myth, they've played close games/lost to teams nowhere near as good as Ohio State, and their receivers can't catch. Plus, their best RB (Keiland Williams) and their best QB (Ryan Perriloux) will be on the sidelines most of the game because Les Miles is a fool. and ohio state played close games/lost to teams nowhere near as good as LSU.

well, he's a young player, that might happen.

especially at second base.

really really terrible third period. Lang had a bad game and just a really stupid pass by kontiola that led to a goal. honestly the third line probably played best.

i'm there.

the early dialogue in juno turned me off initially. The movie got better in the second half when the screenwriter toned down the ridiculous references.

That's interesting. I always thought that if a player didn't have high SB #'s in the minors they had no chance in the majors b/c it seems so easy when you had guys like ruddy yan getting like 80 SBs. although your insight means it's truly impossible for me to have any idea about these upcoming players because i will never see any of them until mlb, if they make it.

you know, in defense of kansas, it's not really like they were a great team last year. I don't think anyone really expected this.

QUOTE(Vance Law @ Dec 27, 2007 -> 05:39 PM) Yes. Every year in the minors. 60-80 points above. http://www.thebaseballcube.com/players/O/Jerry-Owens.shtml thank you. I hope we can get lucky and owens has pods rookie season.

when Owens was in the Minors did he ever have an obp legitimately higher than his avg? Could it develop to .30 points above?

have you ever seen Kucinich's wife? Drink him under the table and move in, soxtalk.

someone should've asked him for quentin's.

ye gods.

just a question, how many SBs and SB% would owens need to have for it to make up for his lack of power legitimately?

I'll take that into consideration for future lists.

i kind of thought it was 2008. That is why.

I'd be thrilled if we could get a minor leaguer for ooooooo-ribe. That money off the books would be nice.

i made my top ten albums. I didn't order them. I didn't hear Jens Lekman, Battles except for their singles, BRMC Caribou or New Pornographers album. I'll divide it into two categories because I figure it's two different discussions. Rap and Everything else Top 10 Hip Hop albums i listened to in 2007 (mixtapes, eps and LPs) Little Brother - Get Back Dizzee Rascal - Math + English (pussy'ole is so great, and wheres da g's is tops) The Cool Kids - totally flossed out ep MIA - KALA (probably the best follow up i could have imagined and maybe my favorite of the year) Devin the Dude - Waitin to Inhale Wu-Tang Clan - 8 diagrams Ghostface Killah - The Big Doe Rehab Kanye West - Can't Tell Me Nothin' mixtape Kanye West -THe Graduation Jay-Z - American Gangster Special mentions : UGK - Underground Kings, Lil Wayne - Da Drought 3, DJ Drama - Gangsta Grillz vol. what...17, Common Top 10 Everything Else albums that came out in 2007 and I listened to: Justice - Cross ƒ Daft Punk - Alive 2007 - made parties enjoyable in b/w lessons of soulja boy f***MOTHERf***ER Japanther - Skuffed up my Huffy : these guys are probably way too comfortable being a new york opening band and it kind of pisses me off in a way but doesn't work me up enough to request their show here or anything. Les Savy Fav - Let's Stay friends Liars - Liars - as much as I liked drum's not dead, if this record would've sounded slow like that I wouldn't have listened Animal Collective - Strawberry Jam - if i could i would bump my first thread on animal collective. The Ponys - Turn the lights out Spoon - Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga - when i first listened I thought it wasn't great. Now I do. Pretty great of montreal - hissing fauna, you are the destroyer - of bein bad! Cause its great! ba dadadadada Radiohead - In Rainbows - yeah woo uh huh special mentions : , clark - throttle promotion, Raccoo-oo-oon - behold secret kingdom Was nowhere near my list : stars of the lid
