QUOTE(longshot7 @ Dec 5, 2007 -> 05:45 PM) Yeah I do. If LSU can play the "But" game - "But our two losses were both in triple overtime," then USC can play that game too - "But we only lost to Stanford (by one point) because our quarterback broke his hand in the game." Basically, it all goes to show there should be a playoff system. After LSU's performance against Tennessee, I think USC could destroy them. come on though, arkansas and kentucky are no where CLOSE to the upset that stanfords was. Stanford was playing their backup QB too!

QUOTE(Jimbo's Drinker @ Dec 5, 2007 -> 04:59 PM) Mizzou is the door mat of the big 12. I like that in your best football season ever you couldn't even win your division.

to be real though, unless you are getting an ivy league education, where you got your undergrad really doesn't matter unless you are going real bottom of the barrel. It's all about networking and developing yourself anyways. Nobody is going to look at a job application and say "ooh, well his butler education is ranked 10 spots above his texas A&M education, he must be better for the job." Especially concerning business too, unless you are gonna be in Upenn's school of business, it's a dime a dozen. My friends that go to loyola have an easier job networking in the city for internships, but my friends at northern and missouri in the business school are finding jobs just as easily just not with the same luster as working in downtown chicago. so like I said, go for the campus you feel a connection to, because there really is no scientific way to figure it out. It's a gut feeling, and likely no school will leave you in a terrible position unless you switch to a major they don't offer.

QUOTE(ZoomSlowik @ Dec 5, 2007 -> 05:16 AM) Wait a minute, am I missing a massive tuition increase at Illinois? I know out of state has to be nuts, but if you can qualify under in-state it was about 8k a semester when I graduated including room and board, which is coming up on 3 years ago. Granted it was about 6k a semester when I started, but s***, that's almost an extra 10 grand a year... I believe after I factored in my 5,000 scholarship deciding on mizzou in 05, We figured that I was only paying an extra 1 g a year compared to instate uofI

QUOTE(Felix @ Dec 5, 2007 -> 02:45 AM) I only looked at big schools when I was looking around for colleges, and frankly, the lack of effort during a visit that Michigan State gave was insulting considering I spent a lot of time and effort getting out there for the visit (I'm from NJ, so going to visit MSU isn't exactly a small feat). They built up the day for months, and when we finally got there, it was basically nothing organized at all. They had a opening presentation thing, which was at least somewhat entertaining (meaning I didn't go to sleep), but that was it. Also, during said presentation, all they seemed to be concerned about was bashing Ann Arbor, that really pissed me off. I'm glad I'm not the only one who didn't like the recruiting from those big 10 schools. I didn't like UofI early on, because of the campus set up, but I really liked Wisconsin Madison, but I went there and they really didn't seem to put in the effort to make it feel like they wanted you to come there, I mean I know they will have like 45000 applicants regardless, but they lost me. I never even thought about Mizzou, then I applied there, they called me once a month and sent me uber amounts of materials and gave me a nice scholarship. Looking back choosing colleges was such a crapshoot, but no doubt I picked the perfect school for me, and for that I feel pretty fortunate.

green/MAYBE WE CAN PULL BRAUN if we throw in Uribe!/green

well yeah. But man, for anthony reyes and jeff weaver dominating. Ugh. What a terrible series. And brandon inge booting every ball.

QUOTE(max power @ Dec 5, 2007 -> 02:03 AM) So one guy below avrg and 4 (or more) above is going to be league average? I doubt it. Crap shoot? Every WS champ I can think of, for at least the past 7-8 years, probably more, had at least 2-3 pitchers pitching well below the league average, with two being the exception to the rule. I don't see who that will be for the 08 tigers right now, especially with their rather average BP. I'm convinced they still need to add some pitching before they are a contender. They still might. I think the 06 cardinals pretty much ruined baseball.

QUOTE(max power @ Dec 4, 2007 -> 11:50 PM) It won't be alphabetical? hahaha

I guess I came from a big town but i really don't understand how a big campus would be overwhelming. Mizzou has like 22,000 people in it, but as a junior now it seems so small. My advice, go where you feel a connection to the campus, then your first year get involved in as much s*** as you can. Because time flies by so quickly, and by the time you are a junior you look back and have a bunch of "I Wish"'s when it's time to start making a resume for internships. Mizzou's pretty cheap out of state and we'd be welcome to have ya.

QUOTE(That funky motion @ Dec 4, 2007 -> 11:36 PM) What if it wasn't as close as everybody thought, and Kenny drove up the price for Detroit. this is my thought. When I heard about DET yesterday trying to acquire them I thought we were gonna try and do whatever to block it, but I mean they gave up their amazing farm. Unfortunately, with their farm gone, they are still in pretty good shape with a young granderson and a young cabrera to build upon.

if we trade kong-crede-uribe like people talk, the only people rowand would know from 05 would be ... Dye and AJ - pitchers buerhle-contreras-jenks...and they would have been first year's that year. Wow what a turnover.

QUOTE(GoRowand33 @ Dec 1, 2007 -> 05:43 AM) 10. Stars of the Lid and the Refinement of the Decline-Stars of the Lid I really just can't believe this is true.

i'm going to guess at least one, now.

QUOTE(Jimbo's Drinker @ Dec 3, 2007 -> 09:56 PM) Im working on my trip to Miami right now.....booya BCS BABY I really hate you.

chris young for kw? what?

haha

can he really play CF thou in regards to fuku

QUOTE(tonyho7476 @ Dec 3, 2007 -> 06:41 PM) I'm still trying to figure out who the f*** the lead-off hitter is going to be. richar i guess.

big fish.

i'm seeing good things on him from like...2005. He has to be like 25 years old at this point.

QUOTE(Shadows @ Dec 3, 2007 -> 05:54 AM) Eh, I don't think OU was much better this year than last year.. they got jobbed in that Oregon game and also played the entire year without a legit QB. They definitely weren't the worst team on this decade, thats for sure. having sam bradford made them much better this year than last year.

USC's lost to stanford was the most embarrassing thing ever, it destroyed any shot they'd ever have.

You travel because you want any excuse you can get to get out of that boring ass state. Good lord, driving down to san antonio to actually see the game live that you all had to watch other teams play because in your best football season ever you couldn't even win your division, I had to switch drivers in kansas to try and sleep through it. Driving through kansas is like running on a treadmill.

since it hasn't been said yet this page...missouri got jobbed.
