For the record, Swisher also hits lefties pretty well (career .271/.407/.442 line against them).

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Jan 3, 2008 -> 02:14 PM) And we're still in no position to compete for anything. I like Swisher but to give up your 3 best prospects for him with the position that our franchise is in, is just bad imo. I hate this. Swisher is only 27. He's a great offensive player, and solves the centerfield problem. Sure, it sucks seeing Gio go, but Swisher is a better player than Sweeney and DLS is still miles away from producing in the major league level.

QUOTE(spiderman @ Jan 3, 2008 -> 02:07 PM) Why is this a great trade ? Last 3 years, his batting averages are .236, .254, and .262 Because batting averages tell the whole story. Swisher is a stud, and he's going to absolutely rake in the Cell.

SWISHER?!?!! This is a dream come true..

How the hell is Iowa still in this game against Indiana? They're a horrible team.

QUOTE(CanOfCorn @ Jan 1, 2008 -> 09:46 PM) What's your curling fight song??? Curling, curling, lets go bloody curling... Disappointingly enough, I don't think we have curling, or at least, I haven't seen/heard anything about it. Which sucks, because I am part of the 1% of the country that actually enjoys watching curling.

QUOTE(Rex Hudler @ Jan 1, 2008 -> 09:38 PM) Hockey? Wrestling? Women's bowling? You forgot curling.

QUOTE(Rex Hudler @ Jan 1, 2008 -> 08:40 PM) Nice evaluation. Got any other fine predictions for us??? Minnesota is going to win the national championship next year!

QUOTE(vandy125 @ Jan 1, 2008 -> 07:47 PM) So, it does not matter if he is going right after the ball when they bump? Just trying to understand the rule, not saying that it was a bad call. It's the same as the NFL afaik. (from wiki)

QUOTE(vandy125 @ Jan 1, 2008 -> 07:43 PM) Maybe I don't understand College football rules, but on the Pass Interference call in the end zone just now, doesn't the Illini defender have as much right to go after the ball as the receiver? If that was not called, it would have been an INT. He hit the receiver before the ball was touched, so its pass interference. It was a good call.

QUOTE(Palehosefan @ Jan 1, 2008 -> 06:01 PM) Aww, poor guy :-P Really, I should thank them, since that game led the firing of Glen Mason, which I still think is a good thing for our program.

QUOTE(Brian @ Jan 1, 2008 -> 05:08 PM) Texas Tech was down 14 with 4 minutes left has just kicked a game winning FG against Virginia. Wow. Screw Texas Tech.

Congrats to Michigan on a great game. They neutralized Tebow and did what they had to do when the time came. I hate them, but congrats on a game well-played.

Impressive game by Michigan. This game isn't over yet, but they've done a hell of a job thus far. Also, I'm definitely pulling for Illinois as well. f*** USC.

Florida touchdown. We have a game ladies and gentlemen.

Mike Hart fumbles again! Man, this is hilarious. (Sorry Michigan fans, I just hate the smugness from Hart and Michigan fans about his never fumbling)

Michigan has done really well today, I'm surprised at how good they've looked.

QUOTE(Brian @ Jan 1, 2008 -> 02:48 PM) Coming home from the gym, the radio was talking about the gift bags the players get at some of these bowl games. Aren't those gifts and how is that illegal? We are talking Wii's and PS3's. Yeah, I've always wondered about that.

What is with all these trick plays by Michigan?

Mike Hart fumbles! Yes!

QUOTE(Brian @ Jan 1, 2008 -> 01:55 PM) Ok, guys. Enough with the penalties. Good timing on that

QUOTE(Brian @ Jan 1, 2008 -> 01:11 PM) Probably. Have you seen the Michigan basketball team? Ugh. Nice drive by Michigan so far. That's the point I'll get so much more enjoyment out of it because I'll be there Yeah, Michigan is moving the ball at ease so far. I'm really just watching Jake Long, but they aren't seeming to have any problems doing anything against this Florida defense. (also, just for laughs sake, I'd like to point out that Goldy is in the final matchup for mascot of the year, which is being announced at halftime IIRC)

QUOTE(Brian @ Jan 1, 2008 -> 01:09 PM) Yeah, that wasn't smart. P.S. What time does Minnesota play? I can't wait for the student section road trip to Michigan for basketball this year... you guys are going down.

Michigan is going to get raped. Genius play by Michigan to start it off

QUOTE(Brian @ Jan 1, 2008 -> 12:31 PM) Time for Summerall to stop announcing. He has been horrible so far in the Cotton Bowl. Keeps screwing up names and is slow on plays. And we are just starting the 2nd quarter. He was good once, but his time is up. Yeah, and on Mizzou's touchdown run, he had literally no excitement at all in his voice. It was possibly the least emotion I've ever heard on the announcing of a touchdown.
