QUOTE (chw42 @ Sep 11, 2012 -> 03:50 PM) Everybody knows it's an operating system; we're not technologically-stupid. It's just a convenient way of refer to phones that run Android. Yes, but you cannot say Android is the number one phone people use because its not. Thats my entire point. The iphone is not comparable to the android operating system which was what was being said and what I replied to. The iphone dominates this market because the android platform has too many different devices operating on several different versions and customizations of android. Android does however dominate the mobile platform piece of the market, although in my experience developers are much more focused on developing applications for iOS.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Sep 11, 2012 -> 12:18 PM) So what's your point...? That the iPhone holds the highest market-share in cell phones and not Android phones because we have to split Android phones into different manufacturers? No that's already the case since "android" isn't a phone it's an operating system. There is no "android" phone.

QUOTE (Lillian @ Sep 11, 2012 -> 10:23 AM) Yep, the first one in his last 19 appearances!!!!! It would have been nice if he had also struck someone out, instead of allowing two guys to smoke balls on the line to right, in almost exactly the same spot. Fortunately, Rios was standing right there. However, at least he didn't give us all one of his typical "heart stopping" finishes. Yes, RF'ers tend to stand in right field to catch balls hit to right field.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Sep 11, 2012 -> 11:18 AM) You can compare iOS with Android, which is what most of us do here. If you want to compare operating systems which was not the comparison here. It was the iphone in the phone marketplace in which case it compares with other hardware manufacturers.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Sep 11, 2012 -> 10:15 AM) I think the bigger issue was hiring a bunch of spread offense coaches to come to Wisconsin. Well whats Bielma's specialty? Is he a guy who has his own offense, is he a guy who schemes the defensive side of the ball? He lost the coaches of what was the strongest side of the ball for a long time in Madison, but shouldnt there be some consistency with him still in place?

On my way to class in college, just happened to turn on the tv beforehand for once.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Sep 11, 2012 -> 12:06 AM) I havent read a lot into it because Im just so annoyed with the situation. But I think that some of it was Markuson wasnt entirely committed to Wisconsin (at least thats what ive read) so this was a way for both sides to part early. I personally think Bielema f***ed up in hiring and is now scrambling to fix his mess. It doesnt help that most of the braintrust went to Pitt.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Sep 11, 2012 -> 06:47 AM) I would like to find the greg775 on motownsports. I wonder if his name is something like jeff664. That would be awesome They simply dont have enough posters to be that specific on crazy. They do however have one guy who only points to attendance whenever they lose. "We lost but SOx fans are .01% the size of a fanbase than ours"

Apparently the King was clinically dead for up to 20 min before being brought back.

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Sep 11, 2012 -> 07:25 AM) The problem is, back then, it was kind of different to use Apple stuff, since only about 1% of the world did. Today, more people/devices use Google's Android than Apple's iPhone...so you aren't different for using Android, when a majority of people use them. This makes zero sense. AS you know Android is an operating system and the iphone is a device, and the most widely used device in the market today. You cant compare android with the iphone, you can compare the sense or the samsung models with it for a fair comparison And Apple's roots are the people who wanted to be different and cool, up to a few years ago, now its "mainstream" and the "cool" guys are off being different with something else. Its fine with me, I like Apple for its intuitive designs and flawless hardware/software integration.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Sep 10, 2012 -> 01:46 PM) And yet people are still blindly in love with Apple. I hate my generation sometimes. LOL. Still waving that "im different" flag huh?

QUOTE (lostfan @ Sep 9, 2012 -> 11:57 PM) Might've cost me my first game. Me too. Depending on what Ronnie Brown does I probably should have played AP.

QUOTE (gatnom @ Sep 10, 2012 -> 12:49 AM) Beckman has several good recruits and a lot of very solid ones. Considering the amount of negativity surrounding the program was on the level of a Soxtalk game thread when he took over, I'd say that Beckman can recruit a bit. Star ratings aren't everything. He'll recruit Ohio if anything. Also, Beckman is going to give you an explosive spread offense when he gets his scheme installed, but defense has been his weak spot historically. Right now its clear they are all still learning.

The SEC, ACC and PAC 12 were embarrassed a bit yesterday as well. Lots of parity this year below the top 2-3 teams it appears. In the Big ten only NW beat an AQ team yesterday though UCF was probably the best team that was beat.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Sep 9, 2012 -> 12:30 AM) The Big 10 is unbelievably bad. There is an astonishing lack of talent on offense in the conference right now. Apparently not in the running QB category.

QUOTE (GoodAsGould @ Sep 9, 2012 -> 04:06 AM) It's way too early but from watching the first 2 games I almost think we might have downgraded with this coaching staff... At least Zook could recruit. 2 games with a brand new staff and scheme in place, yeah seems like a logical time to make that assessment.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Sep 7, 2012 -> 04:48 PM) Yeah. For me it's Bears game and then RedZone. Always follow stats. Overload. Erection. Then halftime comes and I relieve my erection with a crank session (assuming Bears and fantasy leads). All this while booze. OMFG SUNDAY SOOOOON Yep. Bears game. Weed. Red Zone. Nap

QUOTE (Brian @ Sep 7, 2012 -> 01:12 PM) It's like when bostOn Rob won Survivor. Good comparison. I mean everyone was so worried that Boogie was still in the game because he's won and is good and Dan has totally made them forget he's a winner. Actually Shane is doing a good job as well just staying in the background right now.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Sep 7, 2012 -> 12:37 PM) With as many times as you, badger, zoom and quinarvy will be posting in this thread, it might as well be sponsored by flapship Fap-ship?

QUOTE (flippedoutpunk @ Sep 7, 2012 -> 12:34 PM) You're fast! Greg Olsen will have a monster year as Scam Newtons favorite target, BOOK IT! He's a FA in my league

Yes George O'Leary, your 40k stadium built with tiny aluminum bleachers is MUCH louder than 110k in a giant triple decker stadium.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Sep 7, 2012 -> 07:11 AM) He is the wildcard for me this whole year. I've got Michael Bush starting over him for Sunday sadly.. I've got AP as well sitting on my bench, I kind of reached for him thinking he would surprise alot of people. I had to go pick up Ronnie Brown to start since Stewart is worthless and hurt and AP is a question mark. Looks like my #1 Foster is also hurt. f***.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Sep 7, 2012 -> 09:33 AM) This isn't Savannah State against OSU here. It's two professional MLB teams, if you don't like all the runs they are scoring, then get somebody out. Yeah, since when is giving an effort frowned upon? You are professionals, this isnt a beer league softball game where you are taking walks up by 20. What a bunch of babies.

QUOTE (flippedoutpunk @ Sep 7, 2012 -> 10:53 AM) My buddies in afghanistan are quite perturbed that M13 is catered towards the online player with Madden Ultimate Team and Connected Careers online. Its crazy that there has to be two separate roster updates, one for Play Now mode which were just released, and one for Connected Careers that are being released next week. Im fine with my NCAA 13. Going back to it after playing Madden makes it seem so much more polished, even the menu's are 2x more responsive. I guess you cant create players, rosters or have a fantasy draft. Those are BIG for alot of people. I'm going to stick with NCAA as well.

Dan is so incredibly good at big brother its not even funny. They have kept a previous winner in the game this late and have let him guide their decisions? Amazing.
