Well, Sale sucks..

You just booked yourself some more PFP sale.

Is there contact info for melton? Ranger?

Yes, they are more talented than the team that won the NIT tournament. Koufos was garbage, Turner couldnt dribble or shoot yet, Diebler was in a slump, and Lauderdale barely played.

Yeah, you should be mad at yourself for swinging at that pitch.

Teahen plays 1B, 3B, LF, RF Viciedo plays 1B, 3B, LF, RF Just sayin.

Is that Danny Almonte playing first?

Cinderella Man Zac Braddock in

Lighty was not awful as a freshman, he was a defensive stopper on the outside for a team that was in the national title game. I agree with Diebler as he went into a shooting slump the minute he touched down in Columbus. I think you are underrating not only the talent coming in, but the talent that is already there as well as the coaching staff in place. I fully expect OSU to contend for the conference title again next year.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Mar 1, 2011 -> 12:19 PM) I'll believe Sullinger is coming back when I see it. He would just add to the long line of college players who say they are coming back and then go back on their word when they realize it is stupid to return to college when you are a first round pick. I agree that if Sullinger comes back OSU will be really good, if he isn't they are going to be mediocre. Amir Williams and Scott are good players with a lot of talent but frankly neither should be a McD AA based on rankings. Williams is 49 in the RSCI and Scott is 60 in the RSCI. Both could end up being big contributors right away but it is far from a sure thing for guys ranked around those spots, especially for Williams who is supposed to be a pretty raw big man. I dont think Mediocre is a good description at all. Even though YOU have no faith in Amir, he is the #2 C coming out of HS, he will play right away and is surrounded by 3 more 4 star players (including 38th ranked Scott) and another 6'9" guy (Williams #42, Ross #60, Thompson #51). This is also with the already good base of Craft, Thomas, a healthy Lenzelle, and Siebert. Without Sullinger they are still a big player for the conference title, and that alone is better than mediocre. And since you are using RCSI as your indictaor Thompson #40 Ross #41

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Mar 1, 2011 -> 08:47 AM) The Big 10 is almost certainly going to be worse next year than it is this year. Unless OSU gets insanely lucky and Sullinger comes back they are going to be much worse, even with Hummel Purdue will be worse, Wisconsin will be very good and the odds on favorite if Taylor returns but without him they are mediocre, MSU will likely be a bubble team, Illinois will have a ton of talent but I give up predicting how they will develop, Michigan should be solid, IU might be able to work their way to bubble status, Iowa will still be bad, Minnesota will be a bubble team at best unless their guards make miraculous jumps, NW will be mediocre, and PSU will be one of the worst major conference teams in the country. Overall it may be worse, but there are alot of young players you are overlooking here at places like IU and Michigan that will improve their collective teams. Sullinger and his Dad have both said he's coming back. OSU loses Lighty, Buford, Diebler and Lauderdale, but gains another solid recruiting class and another year from their current crop of star freshman. I wouldnt sleep on them next year, they have size in the front court, a couple of big wings and another dynamic PG. Any time you bring in 2 McD's AA players, you are getting play right away talent.

Any other losers watching the NFL combine? Surprises for me so far ( Big Ten focused): Martez Wilson ran a 4.44-Wow 3 Big Ten LB in the top 10 40 times for LB (1 SEC, southern speed) Chekwa ran a 4.3 Dane Sanzenbacher showed more speed than I thought, top guy in the cone drill ran 4.5 40 Boren outlifted by several smaller guys

QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Mar 1, 2011 -> 09:08 AM) Yes it was almost comical. The fact Melo makes no players better while LeBron's Cavs went from league best to one of the worst ever kind of answers that question. ESPN really is just a soap opera. Its all about riding the waves of the most up to date stuff on the news.

Wow, I'm really jealous. Is she working her way through law school?

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Feb 28, 2011 -> 08:47 PM) D-Rose was straight dealing tonight. Will Ohman style

The Bulls hav finally figured out that they are better than most of the teams they play and they just physically assert themselves. Love it.

QUOTE (nitetrain8601 @ Feb 28, 2011 -> 06:29 PM) A PS3 will let you have those, minus Amazon, but plus Vudu(which you get one HD free movie trial without going through hoola hoops and their titles are released they day they are at the stores) and mlb.tv if you use that service. Plus it's a Blu Ray player. I know the Blockbuster you're talking about too. Seemed to be a good spot. I can't believe all these video stores are being replaced by machines. I have a PS3 but the Netflix content wasn't great when i tried it out. My blockbuster was always busy, it sucks.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Feb 28, 2011 -> 05:25 PM) BTW, Miguel Cabrera looked even worse when I saw the highlights on SportsCenter than he did in that picture that Rock posted. My god, he's f***in enormous. Right? Total man boobs. He'll be just getting fatter with age if he's already that fat this young. I couldn't even find any tigers fans cmments on what clearly is an out of shape player.

QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Feb 28, 2011 -> 04:44 PM) I saw nothing on this game but it seems to be a moral victory coming back from 6-1. Last year's squad would have lost 6-2. Meh, it was all minor leaguers for the comeback. Its was really just an easy warm up game for the starters.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Feb 28, 2011 -> 04:26 PM) Jordan Henry has a torn ACL, so clearly that's why they made the trade today. I guess you gotta at least be happy with the timing. Dammit, I was hoping it wasnt serious.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Feb 28, 2011 -> 04:38 PM) I quit. Is it 2012 yet? I'm just about fed up with this team

Brandon Short ends it on a k First loss of the year
