That translation is pretty awesome.

QUOTE (soxfan49 @ Sep 2, 2015 -> 08:57 AM) Nothing wrong with either side in terms of a 1 night stand. There is something wrong if the woman (or man) doesn't want to partake. What hockey players have done worse than beating their wife & being an alcoholic? Heatley killed his teammate because he was driving drunk and reckless, thats pretty bad.

QUOTE (bmags @ Sep 1, 2015 -> 02:33 PM) But isn't this what bowl games are for, anyways? I would not want to compromise a season by playing a game too early. Very happy Missouri is playing SEMO on Saturday, with 8 true frosh on our 2-deep. This team on saturday will be nowhere near the team that plays in October, yet in people's heads they hold it as equal. Screw that, get a few games to get ready. Its definitely less stressful for fans. Its a difference of opinion with all sorts of angles on what is best to make the playoff.

QUOTE (bmags @ Sep 1, 2015 -> 02:26 PM) Which, btw, was an example of an OOC home and home. As a fan of a team, I'd never advocate a big OOC game early in the season. There is no preseason for college football. I respect Oregon and LSU for that series, but imo it was stupid. You put a blackeye on your season when you have had no chance to see who your best players are. "Cooking the books" muah. Apparently "direction u" is so much worse than having Illinois on the schedule, "north texas". Conferences without championship games are hurt much more by early season losses and bad schedules than ones that have that title game built in. Bama could lose to Wisconsin (not likely) run the table and still get in the playoff.

QUOTE (Middle Buffalo @ Sep 1, 2015 -> 02:21 PM) I don't think anyone wants a "rapist" on the team. He wouldn't be the first Hawks player or player from any of our favorite teams to be a serial philanderer, though. Theres a pretty nice statue of one right outside the stadium.

QUOTE (bmags @ Sep 1, 2015 -> 02:22 PM) 7-5 as a conference, SEC East ("the worst division in football") 5-0. That's the "bad bowl season" for SEC. Bowls are stupid indicators of conference strength anyways. Does that prove SEC East > West? No, but for people who need selective back-patting, they'll use it when it helps. Well yeah, any division with Indiana as the champion pretty much sucks

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Sep 1, 2015 -> 02:18 PM) Nobody cares about bowl games outside of the championship. And the "rest" game has nothing to do with prepping for bowl season. It's about putting a tough conference game early in the season so that if you lose, voters forget about it. That's why you play Direction U in November instead of September, to try and avoid a late loss. LOL, everybody cares about the bowl games when your teams and conference are winning them. Its literally the measuring stick that ESPN and other pundits use every season to bash or praise each conference. Losing a conference game early can put you out of the CCG which is something voters definitely care about. Big OOC early games are something that matters MUCH less. Baylor thinks so little of them they only have one in the next several seasons and its Duke.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Sep 1, 2015 -> 02:09 PM) I'd rather not win a cup than have a rapist on my favorite team. Might want to burn those Hawks sweaters now if you already convicted Kane of rape.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Sep 1, 2015 -> 02:13 PM) How do you figure? They had the #1 team in the rankings, even ahead of an undefeated team. I'd say the chess match worked again. The fact that Alabama couldn't tackle Ezekiel Elliot has nothing to do with the SEC working the system. Im specifically referring to the entire conference's bowl performance. Their end of the season "rest" game didnt help much at all. They s*** the bed as a conference collectively.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Sep 1, 2015 -> 01:46 PM) And who keeps ending up in the championship game? The SEC. It's better to work the schedule in your favor than try to play fair. That's why they always have the Division 2 Non conference game in late November, it's all part of the chess match. Chess match didnt work last year, they s*** the bed come bowl season.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Sep 1, 2015 -> 12:46 PM) I would not be trying to trade Kane as all he did was have sex with a starf***er. He's a point per game or better player about to enter his prime. Yep, but if the Hawks win the cup again with him on the roster it will be, "SOO glad we never traded Kane," again.

Johnnies in AP is pretty good.

Austin has never been on the block, that summarizes the entire season for me. He and the twins should have been out in the first 5 weeks.

QUOTE (Brian @ Aug 31, 2015 -> 06:49 PM) I would with Michigans offense probably being lackluster. What is the under? 46.5 I expect Michigan to literally grind this game into the dust.

QUOTE (bshah723 @ Aug 31, 2015 -> 05:40 PM) Rock-I know you were on the ask the insiders board on Scout for OSU. Have you made a switch to Rivals to follow Nevada or 11W? Or you sticking with Scout? I signed up for Rivals and that board is killing it with Nevada and company. I switched to rivals already, my scout subscription is up in a month.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 31, 2015 -> 03:11 PM) Greg's best bet of the week: Take Minnesota and the points on Thursday night. Im hammering the under on Mich v Utah

A week before the season starts is pretty messed up. What a s*** show.

QUOTE (scs787 @ Aug 27, 2015 -> 01:10 PM) Let me get this straight, he broke in and slipped something in her drink?? At what point after someone "broke into your house" are you taking a drink? Super fishy. Someone broke into your house and you reported it two years later....But not for criminal purposes, for money

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 27, 2015 -> 08:56 AM) Which means he again put himself into a bad situation. Like him or not, Patrick Kane is a f***ing idiot. What professional athlete do you know of that hasnt taken a girl home from a bar? Obviously he's a moron for not vetting them better but I dont see that situation as abnormal

QUOTE (LDF @ Aug 26, 2015 -> 10:06 PM) this crap is the reason why i kept on telling and posting, wait and see..... really stupid things to say,when no one knows the facts. let the facts speak for themselves. again, people have opinions and have a right to voice them ...... as do i. Read my post. I said best case in response to another. Your post makes no sense in context.

Waited two years to bring up a break in, drugging and repeated rapes? Come on.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 26, 2015 -> 05:57 PM) At the very absolute best case, what it means is that Patrick Kane put himself in harms way. Again. Worst case... At the best case, Kane and his friends took two willing girls home and one saw a pay day and falsely accused him of something he didn't do.

So Rose was just accused of gang raping his ex, two years ago.

QUOTE (Brian @ Aug 26, 2015 -> 06:06 PM) Rock, something go down at OSU practice? Rumors all over Twitter after canceling practice and interviews. Noah Brown at starter at WR broke his leg.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 26, 2015 -> 05:46 PM) In a rape case, not enough evidence to prosecute doesn't mean much at all. The fact remains that after all this time and money, the guy still can't stay out of trouble. It isn't hard to imagine a franchise having enough of Kane's stupidity, or even just having a fear that eventually he will miss time because of his stupidity. Right, it could mean it never happened or that it was date rape. Of course he is innocent until proven guilty in this country which is exactly how I would expect the hawks to respond. Extra short rope, nothing else.
