QUOTE (Tex @ Nov 27, 2010 -> 11:22 AM) I think that all of those Tea Party rallys where Palin was the guest speaker says otherwise. Seems like she is a big draw. She has her own Reality TV show. I think she has broad support and interest from both sides. A real uniter! And maybe she is the next Hillary. It seemed the GOP liked her WAAAAAAAAAY more than Dems. You mean our Secretary of State, and second place finisher in the presidential primaries? Yeah, the Dems don't like her at all.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Nov 27, 2010 -> 10:42 AM) No, it doesn't prove anything. While Auburn has beaten 5 top 25 teams this year, they could have lost any number of games this year, especially if their kicker blows a few chip shot field goals. While a loss would had an impact on their record, it would have done nothing to prove whether or not they could win other games on their SEC schedule. They still would be a quality team and one of the best teams in the nation. But what you're saying is that because the Boise kicker blew two easy field goals, that somehow goes far in determining whether Boise could compete in a traditional power conference. It simply does not. I guess the kicker isn't important in the Big 10? That doesn't make any sense at all. Every player on the field is important. Why if it is just the kicker, does that somehow excuse it? That also goes along with the whole point of not being able to handle a real schedule. Having those kind of weaknesses makes it easier for you to be exposed, and you have more chances of being exposed with good teams on your schedule.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Nov 27, 2010 -> 10:05 AM) Absolutely it does. It also probably creates more injuries and exposes your weaknesses more. But this loss to Nevada does not prove anything in regards to the argument you are making. It absolutely does. A Nevada isn't a big deal on the schedule for a Big10/SEC/Pac10/BigEast/Big12 type team, because they see them almost every single week. Auburn has beaten 5 top 25 teams this year. It proves that there is a massive difference between Boise State and anyone who comes out of a major conference schedule undefeated, because they have beaten good teams. Not being able to beat a Nevada makes the point that BSU wouldn't have survived a single one of the major conference schedules.

Eagles are at least something solid to have on your list.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Nov 27, 2010 -> 09:54 AM) A schedule full of quality teams proves what argument? For instance, Auburn won @ Miss St 17-14, at home against Clemson 27-24 in OT, and @ Kentucky 37-34. Had they missed any of those fg's at the end of the game, they could have lost, and therefore, under your premise, that would prove they could not make it out of a power conference undefeated, which is exactly what they have managed to do. One close game is not indicative of the argument you are trying to make, especially considering the manner in which Boise blew that game. A quality schedule gives you more chances to blow games. If you are playing awful teams, you aren't having much competition to put real pressure on a team.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Nov 27, 2010 -> 09:31 AM) One can absolutely make an argument that Boise could not handle the brutal schedules that can come about from playing in a traditional power conference. But the fact that they lost for the first time in 25 games, on the road, against a quality opponent in a difficult environment, by missing a chip-shot field goal at the end of regulation is not a particularly strong argument to make that point. Its exactly the point. If they had a schedule full of quality teams, instead of just a few, that goes a long way towards proving that argument.

Celine Dion is on your list as well.

ABBA seems like they would be a stable for Tex

Well there you guy. If Boise can't survive Nevada, there is no chance they run the table somewhere like the Big Ten, Pac10, or SEC.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Nov 26, 2010 -> 11:07 PM) Lucas is a career 81% free throw shooter and I always thought you want your best free throw shooters on the court at the end of the game. Exactly the point of why career free throw percentage isn't some sort of be all for the last minute.

I should have started trashing Watson a month ago!

Well that was awful nice of Denver to let us back into the game.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Nov 26, 2010 -> 08:20 PM) 11-0 to start the game? Seriously? I think if this were 21, it would be game over. And it would be nice if they would at least act like they wanted to play some defense tonight. That has nothing to do with Rose being out;.

Nice win for the Hawks today... Crawford is quietly making some inroads at Turcos job right now.

1:05 in, and I am ready for the John Lucas III era to begin.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Nov 25, 2010 -> 11:11 PM) I wonder how much of Rose's weakness on defense right now relates to the fact that he has to give 100% every possession on offense. Even with his size issues, my big probelm with him is that he's constantly out of position on d. I actually went back to pick up some of his draft stuff, and honestly, I think their defensive assessment of him is pretty spot on, including a couple of things I have talked about before, such as how he handles getting screened. http://www.draftexpress.com/profile/Derrick-Rose-1068/

John Lucas III was signed today too.

QUOTE (nitetrain8601 @ Nov 26, 2010 -> 06:17 PM) I think the reason why he's doing this is simply because they gave A-Rod the world when no one else was going to and couldn't even if they wanted to. If they didn't overpay A-Rod, I'm sure Derek would be less crazy about his next contract. But they gave A-Rod a crazy base salary, incentives up the wazoo, and an ownership stake in the team. It's ridiculous what he got without having any leverage, and now Derek wants the love too. If Jeter is using ARod as him comparison, he is stupid. Look at the ages they were at the end of their respective contracts, and the seasons they put up. There would have been a market for Alex, while not what the Yankees paid, him, it still would have been 80-90% of what he got. Jeter probably would be lucky to get a third of what he is asking for.
