Would Derek Lowe be completely out of the picture, I haven't heard his name mentioned in quite some time..

lol...yeah that was kinda weird

WOW.. I totally did not know Borchard was cut from the Mexican Leagues....what the hell, does he suck that bad..

So does this deal basically ensure us that Paulie will be back in 05'??

Question guys....is there any chance in hell that we could possibly offer mags a one or two year deal, maybe trying to get a bargain. I know that all the bridges are burnt for him to come back here, and maybe I just answered my own question,but you guys give me your opinion. Myself, I think he would be worth the risk if the price was right, and that remains the question on him, I guess..

Congratulations you guys, I know many on this board love Illinois. They are going to get a great coach when they sign this guy..apparently to be announced on Monday. Flordia definately jumped the gun on this guy, he is a great recruiter, and a great coach as well. It looks as if the Illinois football program may start to rebuild now...Once again Congrats.

Ohh..yeah P.S., how about you guys just ignore everything Anthrax says because he is just causing problems basically and says nothing that is relevant.

Alright so someone please clear this up for me...Peter Gammons has reported that we have "officially" signed Jaret Wright for 5-6 million a year or whatever and The Score has said that nothing is concrete yet...or is any of this concrete?? Someone please explain to me...

Palehosefn...I agree with every word you just said, and to think after our 1-7 start we could be looking at going to the playoffs now...just amazing. And by the way how freaking awesome is it to see the emotion on Jake's face after every touchdown; he may not be the best quarterback, but he is a gamer and I am proud to call him a Panther. I think with our schedule the way the it is, with NO,STL,ATL,TB, and NO again, I fully believe that we can win all of those games, with the toughest test agains Atlanta. I think with all the injuries this year to basically everyone on our team, if we make it to the playoffs, it will just show how great of a coach John Fox really is. By the way, I can't speak for you on this Palehosefn but as for me, how awesome is it to be living in the state of South Carolina right now, referring to sports ofcourse. Spurrier hire, Dave Odom has our boys playing great 3-0 start, and now the Panthers look as if they have a breath of life in them; but White Sox management is still pissing me off with the lack of any moves, what so ever, whats the deal guys...GO SOX/COCKS/PANTHERS

Capnt12, where are you from? Because I thought i was the only White Sox/Gamecock fan in the country; very cool to find another one like myself..

Yes it can be called that as well....thank you for informing me of that. But really, we definately had the first chartered university soo..therefore it is settled..It's USC not SC.

Hey Palehosefan...I'm not trying to bust your balls or anything, but did UNC really count on getting Spurrier? I am a Sophomore at South Carolina and I heard all the rumors were between UNC or USC. I know you guys are looking very good up there and are going to be very strong in a very strong ACC. And, I know even after the loss today for my Cocks that we have a very talented bunch; past 3 or 4 years, been in the top 20 or 15 in recruiting. Anyways, sorry for the babble...Good Luck with the bowl game P.S. What bowl are you guys going to end up in?

Yess...this is very huge news..I am a sophmore at USC ( that's University of South Carolina) and I generally don't post on the sports bar....and come to think of it, I haven't really posted on Soxtalk in general; since our collapse this season. But, trust me I come here everyday for the new rumors whirling around the league, because this time of the year is when it is the best to be a Sox fan. Anyways, back to original point of post, Spurrier is going to be welcomed with open arms and many will be sad to see Lou Holtz leave. He and Dick Vermeil are maybe the most "true" coaches out there now, they are never afraid to show their emotions on their sleeve; he will be greatly missed. But, as Holtz has said, Spurrier is going to be a great coach to finish what he initially started. Which was bring a school from obscurity to the national eye in a matter of 6 years. We as a Gamecock Nation are saddened by your departure, but we are overjoyed to know your successor is hand-chosen, you will forever be remembered as the one coach that brought us out of the depths of national spotlight. Now go out and beat the hell out of Clemsux this weekend...lets win these last two for Lou fellas...

I got to see Greene play a lot in college and this kid is gonna be a litteral superstar in the majors, he still couldn't help his Clemson beat my USC though but he is really good... Hey WinningUgly, what was Greene drafted, overall, I know he was the Padres #1 pick but what order did you guys pick, I think it was 2000 or 2001 when he was drafted..

Hey Heads..hmm..I've been trying to update my avatar for like the past month just logging off and on and for some reason it wont let me,an error message comes up..is that what you are talking about with your post?? If not can you tell me what i'm doing wrong..thanks bud

Count me in Yoda, I'm very surprised one hasn't been started. Nice article, does anyone know where I could get a "He Gong" t-shirt at, being that I can't go to any games in Chicago.

Me too... I think you should make it a school theme or the comeback kids or something...hell i just want some wallpaper

soo.. basically when they came to thim wanting to trade him, his thoughts were, "why the hell should I stay here if they want to trade me". Is that what i'm getting here? So he isn't really that excited to be here he just wanted to get the hell outta New York b/c basically he thought they didn't want him anymore..I hope I didn't just answer my own question here

[He doesn't speak English for one thing. Also, I remember reading an article describing how pissed he was at being traded. I'm too lazy to look for the link, but I think it was in Sunday's Tribune. ] Well if i lived in Chicago, I could probally get the article but being as South Carolina is a little far away... also am I wrong or am I right about this? Couldn't Contreras reject a trade if he wanted to?

Wow it's pretty bad when i mis-spell the title of the topic..

I haven't seen an article or anything metioning his feelings about coming to the White Sox. I'm sure there was a press conference or something but I can't seem to find anything

Toasts to ALL who stayed with this team ...We have been through a week of hell..

haha..Can't you ask that question with our whole team..this desease is contagious

Thanks Ace glad to see that. Anyone know how the twins are doing?

Hey guys just getting in.. and i see that Ben-Ben has our big hit today..Im telling you guys he's gonna be pretty good here. GO SOX p.s. how is freddy doing and I dont even have to ask about the offense looks like we are doing a hell of a lot better than the past week.
