Jimbo's Drinker

QUOTE(Rex Hudler @ Jan 5, 2008 -> 01:35 PM) I still never heard why Steve Slaton did not play in the Fiesta Bowl for West Virginia. Anyone? Anyone? Buehler? I believe he got hurt in the first quarter.

Mendenhall to the pros, no surprise.

QUOTE(Brian @ Jan 5, 2008 -> 12:32 PM) Jimbo will get flamed annualy when the Jayhawks are ousted in the 2nd weekend again in the tourney. He's used to it. Sad, but true.

QUOTE(gbuk @ Jan 5, 2008 -> 11:22 AM) Funny when people make fun of Kansas or one of your posts you attack their team, when they never brought up their own team and they had nothing to do with it. And calling Jackson "special" is still hilarious. I only attack one team, Illinois. The Saluki fans and me have been going back and forth for over a year now. Attack Kansas all you want, its a free nation.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Jan 4, 2008 -> 07:32 PM) I'm not sure Kansas football fans are allowed to talk smack to anyone else in the Big 12. welcome to 2008...yes we can.....Ill send you an orange.

QUOTE(Brian @ Jan 4, 2008 -> 02:13 PM) Nah, he'll split it with Sherron Collins as Kansas goes undefeated and wins the national title. Too bad nobody will notice because nobody cares about Kansas anymore. Im sorry did you just say NIT, buddy. He may split it with Rush or Chalmers or Arthur.....Jackson is the best on Kansas this year.

dont osu and usc play in non conference??

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Jan 4, 2008 -> 08:01 AM) So suddenly the Big 12 North isn't the cripple fight it was a couple years ago. Is Iowa State still in the Big 12 North???

I heard the Royals want Colon.

Just noticed Depaul beat villanova...thanks for the rpi push, blue devils.

Darnell Jackson may be Big 12 player of the year...kid is special with a capital S.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Jan 4, 2008 -> 02:02 AM) I could be wrong. I watch a couple Texas games a year because they are one of the few college teams I don't mind and I swear I heard the announcers say they will have most of there good players back and are going to be a title contender next year. I know USC will probably be #1 and Texas Tech/Mizzu will be top 10 when the season is done, imo. Big 12 will be the best conference in the country. quiet the big 10 fans must be sleeping....I would rather have Todd Reesing or Chase Daniels over Juice Williams any day of the week.

god ben gordon pisses meoff.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Jan 4, 2008 -> 01:56 AM) Aside from Charles, isn't Texas practically returning everyone as well? dont they lose a bunch on defense....and to be honest Colt Mccoy sucks.

KU does have Texas and TTech at home next year....by the way how bad was the fox broadcast of the orange bowl.....IT was like battle of the bands....show the game!!

McAnderson is slow and fat, Angus Quigley(sexy name) will replace him. Derek Fine will be replaced by Tim Biere. Anthony Collins(Junior, draft status unkown)...we just signed a 4 star JUCO Left Tackle. Kid is an australian rugby player, yikes James McClinton Dtackle.......replacements are already on team. Aqib...already noted above oh and the punter and kicker Who knows how good they will be next year, but this was a really fun and surprising year.

QUOTE(danman31 @ Jan 4, 2008 -> 01:36 AM) For the record, I want to say that it doesn't prove they belonged as the espn.com front page says, but rather that they were a very good team this year. I've always thought (and think I might have said it here) that Kansas' d was better than its offense. Its offense plays clean and is above average, but not one of the top units in the country. The defense, however, is. The d pretty much outscored its offense tonight, partially because Va Tech's QBs suck and were mishandled (constantly switching is terrible), but that shows which side of the ball Kansas is better on to me. It was ridiculously hard to watch that game, but part of me wanted Kansas to win to make up for Oklahoma looking like s*** yesterday. The Big 12 should be very interesting next year. Missouri, Oklahoma, and Texas Tech all return most of their core. Kansas will probably lose Talib to the draft, but should still be a top 25 team (much harder schedule next year). Colorado should be better by a little bit and Nebraska can't be worse. I think Texas is gonna have a hard time in the Big 12 for the first time in a while with Charles gone. KU won the orange bowl with 1 and 2 star recruits, the coaching staff did a wonderful job.....Talib will go pro and be replaced with Stuckey or Ryan Murphy. Hell, we only lose 5 starters in general!!!!!

time to turn my attention to ku bball....undefeated i just noticed, excellent. big game at boston college this weekend.

UM wow...thanks for the congrats guys, im still in shock and completely drunk

White Sox acquired outfielder Nick Swisher from the Athletics for LHP Gio Gonzalez, outfielder Ryan Sweeney and RHP Fautino De Los Santos. It's going to be interesting to see how the White Sox try to fit these pieces together. If they're willing to use Swisher in center field, they're improving their lineup immensely with the deal, though it's at a steep cost in the team's top two pitching prospects and the still promising Sweeney. If they're doing it with the idea of using Swisher in left field, leaving no room for Carlos Quentin, then the deal could prove to be a major bust. We're guessing they'll pencil him into center for now but continue to look for alternatives. Either way, Swisher gets a nice upgrade in fantasy value with the switch to the AL's best home run park. He'll be a threat to hit 35-40, especially if the White Sox are smart enough to hit him second. Jan. 3 - 2:31 pm et

Swisher seems like a great clubhouse guy, a thing we were missing since Rowand. lvoe the move.

QUOTE(Sonik22 @ Jan 3, 2008 -> 02:06 AM) I'm so sick of this s***. All joking aside, what happened to SIU?? I dont get it.

Bears should draft that schmimtt kid and room him with Cedric Benson......thats a football player.

QUOTE(ChWRoCk2 @ Jan 2, 2008 -> 11:07 PM) Hopefully these 3 blowouts so far in Rose, Sugar and Fiesta bowls teach BCS a lesson. whats the lesson?

Stoops contract still is the best in the nation.
