Quoner

From getting out from under the backup in this forum, I will say that Lifer is consistently more balanced and reasonable than most when the poo starts flying. I only bring this up since we've had our special moments in the past (and I'm moderate) and want to try this whole gentler, kinder thing out for a day or two.

Snopes called him and verified it. It's true.

And in happier news, Futurama is about to come back with new episodes.

Rivals isn't worth the paper it is printed on.

Wait - we don't have to listen to anti-semites anymore? I'm updating my ignore list.

What if we threw in Gagne?

If you don't like Bush, you can just go get a razor.

Who's gonna make the BallStateFan1 account to really bring this board together for a common purpose?

Tippet is a great coach - but I think they want to get away from dump-and-chase hockey for good and realized that Tippett wasn't going to mesh with that. The team isn't big enough to beat people up consistently and Tippett never found that offensive balance after his first season. Nieuwy knew Tippett from Team Canada events, so I don't think it was an angry affair - just a change of direction. Maybe his mustache started making unreasonable demands to trade Turco and reacquire Mike Smith? As for Crawford, he just flamed out so spectacularly in LA, but did have previous success. He just spent a year on HNIC, so maybe that will clear his head and get him to stop cussing like a mad man every time his team draws a penalty. If you ever stayed up and watched the Stars play in LA, he had some great tantrums. On the plus side, he will get a goalie coach and start holding Turco, Modano and a few others more accountable for working hard between games, which could either pay off or blow up spectacularly, so that will be fun. And dude, I know you are a big hockey fan, but you know Carbo got the axe in March, right? He was coaching a portion of the Russian Mafia, but he completely lost his team early on in the season and had no clue how to get them back. I think he coaches here some day, but it might be better to wait until his old buddies are off the roster.

Ban UNTFlyer.

I hear that works.

Good question - here's some reading: http://www.minorleagueball.com/2008/12/19/...rs-top-20-prosp http://www.baseballprospectus.com/article.php?articleid=8602 (you can still see the list without a BP subscription) Watch Main and Perez closely. I think they both started rough this year, but have been pitching stronger lately.

Great commenter segment today. You guys have any plans to address message boards?

If she was a horse...wait, I'm banned from finishing that joke.

Yeah, I miss the 70% of the board that left.

I see Pete McGinnes, Todd Meyer, Skip Peidman and Felix Melevaldez in the crowd. I miss those guys too.

Not getting involved, but why do we need more pictures of the FAU and Navy games? TTG pretty much handled that.

This is arguably the worst use of scoreboard I have ever seen.

I think these are important questions and I'd like to see them explored. Sorry if you can't handle focusing on the issues that will shape the future of this great institution.

He gushes too much for my taste, but tonight's Newberg report contained the following big picture outlook:

Everything cool?

What about travel costs? Could we compete? Would they have us? Do we need to add baseball first? How could we align the divisions? Good stuff for sure.

This is America. Taking their right to post whatever they want on a private board to another more private board just feels...socialist.

Maybe it's not what you say but how you say it? Or maybe something to do with quantity?

Nope, never have. Does it mean making a blatant mistake and trying to cover it because you sometimes struggle to keep up with the fast moving interwebs?
