QUOTE(Steve9347 @ Jan 7, 2008 -> 12:48 PM) Now THAT'S a suggestion. Thanks! Plus you can watch hockey while you do it.

QUOTE(Queen Prawn @ Jan 7, 2008 -> 08:35 AM) I am by way of the Brain. QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Jan 7, 2008 -> 08:38 AM) Ahem. You two already have my condolences.

QUOTE(Gregory Pratt @ Jan 6, 2008 -> 10:29 PM) There's no one left to believe in. Well, except for Belichick.

ISU gets another nice snag at CB, *** ATH Leonard Johnson a soft commit to the Clones over Ole Miss, Memphis and USF.

Shut the f*** up. None of you are Iowa State fans.

CRIPPLE FIGHT

QUOTE(danman31 @ Jan 6, 2008 -> 03:57 PM) Nebraska isn't that bad this year and Baylor is going to beat Iowa State. I think Baylor is a tournament team. Yeah, I'd put Baylor as an 8-10 point fav for the game. You think the Horns are ready for "40 minutes of something or other"? I have no idea what to expect out of the Huskers this year.

QUOTE(YASNY @ Jan 6, 2008 -> 03:49 PM) I'm not surprised by that at all. I get aggravated with that crap too, and I can imagine the amount of it you have to put up with in Iowa. In December, we probably averaged 1-2 mailings and 3-6 phone calls a day. Unfortunately, one campaign got my cell phone number.

QUOTE(YASNY @ Jan 6, 2008 -> 03:38 PM) I can honestly say I've never quite heard it put that way! You'd be surprised just how many Iowans wish we didn't have the caucuses. The constant phone calls and mailings get annoying in a hurry.

Because us Iowans are awesome, that's why.

Next Saturday... Texas Tech @ Oklahoma State - CBS Texas @ Missouri Colorado @ Texas A&M Iowa State @ Baylor - ESPN Classic Kansas State @ Oklahoma Kansas @ Nebraska - ESPN The Big 12 is gonna be mighty fun to watch this year. Hell, 3 games on national tv to boot. Jimbo can find out who Wesley Johnson is, and I can see what the f*** is the deal with the Jayhawks.

Kind of late, but happy birthday to our resident Scarlet Knight! Come back soon...

QUOTE(Buehrle>Wood @ Jan 5, 2008 -> 08:42 PM) Oh, and Indiana State looks phenomenal against a pretty good Northern Iowa team. Pretty good? That's not the team I saw.

QUOTE(BearSox @ Jan 5, 2008 -> 08:15 PM) based on what? Based on that being a safer bet, and the fact that he needs to work on a third pitch. Of course, who knows if he'll ever make the majors.

48 points at the half seems like a lot for a McDermott team.

Time for super crazy f***ed up MVC scores. Illinois State 28, Southern Illinois 8 2:55 Bradley 32, Wichita State 25 3:32 Indiana State 32, Northern Iowa 14 4:56

And we get to see Mini Boozer in the first half. He's no Carlos.

Leave it to Alex Thompson to look like a crappy D2 player.

QUOTE(IlliniKrush @ Jan 5, 2008 -> 07:17 PM) Intrasquad game? North Dakota. Offensive outburst.

ISU plays a D2 team tonight. Yay.

I figure one of Quentin or Swish will be 22.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Jan 5, 2008 -> 06:15 PM) Doesn't ZIPS also have a very low opinion of the 2008 White Sox even with Swisher? Are we supposed to think they are accurate when positively predicting a White Sox player, and a bunch of crap when their projection is less than we hope? I hope some of these minor league pitchers can do something on the major league level because pitchers get hurt and some are ineffective. When the White Sox won it all, they needed 3 closers. With the price of pitching today, either KW is going for it for 1 year and then holding a massive firesale for prospects, or he thinks none of his pitchers will ever get hurt, or be ineffective, or he plans on having a few drafts of the century. What are you talking about? That post was probably the first time I mentioned ZIPS at all. I've never mentioned one word about its credibility, just that it had a pretty optimistic prediction about a guy who was in AA last year.
