QUOTE (fathom @ Mar 16, 2013 -> 04:53 PM) Prediction: by the time this year is over, Javier Baez will be the top hitting prospect in baseball. Theo Epstein propsects seem to get the same rankings boost that Notre Dame football recruits do.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Mar 16, 2013 -> 10:06 AM) He also has a running game now though. That said, a regression from 36 receptions and 366 yards is fairly difficult to do. Fair point, but I was more referring to the average 73 catch 1150 yard season he had from 2008-2011.

QUOTE (danman31 @ Mar 15, 2013 -> 08:46 PM) The bubble is so bad that Middle Tennessee should be in. 28-5 is good enough compared to what these other teams bring to the table. I am in no way a big mid-major supporter, but when a team wins their conference by five games over 2nd place, how do they not get a tourney bid??? (This is more a complaint about small conference tournaments than anything)

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Mar 15, 2013 -> 09:42 PM) Notre Dame, Syracuse, and Pittsburgh going to the ACC in 2013 Louisville going to ACC in 2014 Rutgers going to BIG in 2014 Georgetown, Providence, St. John's, Seton Hall, Villanova, DePaul, and Marquette form the "new" Big East in 2013 Connecticut, Cincinnati, and South Florida joined by Houston, Memphis, SMU, Central Florida, and Temple in 2013; Tulane and East Carolina in 2014 and Navy in 2015. Thank you. So the Catholic 7 is still the Big East technically & the Uconn/CIncy is the new nameless "america 12" conference or whatever?

QUOTE (2nd_city_saint787 @ Mar 15, 2013 -> 06:33 PM) Adam Schefter ‏@AdamSchefter Vikings are giving Greg Jennings a five-year deal. Saw this coming...If they can hit on their 2 1st rounders they could once again have the edge on the Bears. Anybody else thing Jennings is due for a regression when he starts catching passes from Cassel/Ponder as opposed to Rodgers/Favre?

84-78. For every guy that can break out and have a big year, we have just as many that are due for regression due to age, injuries, or whatever. In the end, I see a big jumble of mediocrity and another .500 team.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Mar 15, 2013 -> 08:44 PM) It ought to be interesting to see if this drives Duke out of a #1 seed. It definitely opens the door for Kansas, Miami, & Louisville. I think Indiana & Gonzaga are locks at this point.

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Mar 15, 2013 -> 08:53 PM) Yes, part of the separation deal is that the Catholic 7 get to keep the BIG EAST name and have their tournament at MSG. This Big East/ACC/Catholic realignment has me so confused. They keep talking about conferences and I have no idea who is where or what.

Gus Johnson FTW

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Mar 15, 2013 -> 03:34 PM) Viciedo GS. Just sayin Against a righty or lefty?

Don't call it an upset, lol. Just the 4 seed beating the 5 seed.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Mar 15, 2013 -> 03:00 PM) Most of the teams in this tournament have struggled shooting. I wonder if it has anything to do with the UC being so huge and the stands not being full. They also have the ribbon boards constantly circling. For those who have played basketball, backgrounds make a huge difference when playing. Its harder to shoot at a basket that seems like its standing in the middle of nowhere. They should do what they do at the Staples Center for the Lakers. Dim the lights in the stands. At least at both ends. I always noticed that Lakers games seemed so dark in areas, I never really thought about why. Interesting.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Mar 15, 2013 -> 02:47 PM) Anyone think Iowa gets into the tourney? I will let you know at around 10:00 PM tonight. If they don't beat MSU, no chance.

At least I picked Zeller in my fantasy lineup today

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Mar 15, 2013 -> 11:44 AM) Ritchie wasn't actually THAT horrible with us, but he started to battle some nagging injuries. And it was Wells, Fogg and Sean Lowe. 2 1/2 starters, and a big contract, for 1/2 a starter. In what world is 5-15 w/ a 6.06 ERA & 1.71 WHIP not THAT horrible? Coors Field in the 90s maybe?

QUOTE (farmteam @ Mar 15, 2013 -> 10:22 AM) But the Football program has done well; what impediments are there for basketball that aren't for football? I think it's easier to win in football without top recruits than in basketball. You can find lower-ranked players that fit your scheme, some high-energy players that slipped through the recruiting rankings. When there are so many more players out there, it's easier to find diamonds in the rough. As much as they are both "team" games, one star player makes a way bigger difference in basketball than in football.

How do you embed YouTube videos? I used to be able to do it, but now it doesn't seem to work anymore. I copy the embed code from YouTube, paste it here, then change the Post Options to "HTML On". I do that, but I always get a "Not Found" error. What am I missing?

QUOTE (oldsox @ Mar 15, 2013 -> 07:28 AM) Rogers once claimed that KW was offended when Rogers criticized him after the trading of Kip Wells and Josh Fogg to the Pirates for that right hander who couldn't get anyone out. So Kenny wouldn't talk to him for a while. When was that trade? 2002? For once Phil Rogers was right, that trade was f***ing awful! Todd Ritchie was that right hander who couldn't get anyone out.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Mar 14, 2013 -> 07:39 AM) Baseball players have a finite amount of power throughout the year before they can recharge in the winter via hibernation. Except for Giancarlo Stanton, his power is infinite.

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Mar 14, 2013 -> 03:32 PM) Some talk of him going to the Packers yesterday. Kinda glad that didn't happen. I don't like teams spending money on 30 year running back. As a Bears fan, I'm kinda glad it didn't happen too. He has a lot of mileage, but he still has a very good year or two left in him. Kind of wasted his career in STL.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Mar 14, 2013 -> 05:16 PM) Woo, ISU-KU part 3 tomorrow night! How is ISU gonna get screwed over at the end this time?

Will Bill Carmody coach another game at Northwestern?

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Mar 14, 2013 -> 07:42 PM) Jordan Danks said John couldn't play. after calling out the Sox front office for not re-signing AJP or signing a big FA

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Mar 14, 2013 -> 11:16 AM) Realignment plan approved by Board of Governor Kind of sucks to lose games vs. DET and the division is kinda bland, but I love that every team will come to the UC once.
