  1. I think since he has not ever redshirted he would be available for a normal redshirt.
  2. I like that he averaged 8 assists per game...maybe more of a true point to play with Josj next year.
  3. Per baseball-reference.com Sammy Sosa July 29, 1989: Traded by the Texas Rangers with Wilson Alvarez and Scott Fletcher to the Chicago White Sox for Harold Baines and Fred Manrique. So not the best trade, especially considering Harold Baines did make two more all star games after the trade - too bad they weren't with the Rangers. Harold Baines was traded during the 1990 season (basically playing for the Rangers for 1 year) for Joe Bitker and Scott Chiamparino. So basically Sosa and a decent pitcher turned into Jot Bitker and Scott Chiamparino...
  4. Drafted in round 7 of NBA D-League draft. http://www.nba.com/dleague/draft_board_2009.html Definitely an uphill battle to make the squad, but if he plays the way he did to end the season I think he will be fine.
  5. I don't either, but Cooley seems to have inside info. Cooley broke that we were in on Brandon Peters before it was listed on Rivals, a few weeks later we are now listed on his rivals page.
  6. Weather is not looking good for those of us stuck going to a wedding Saturday night! Damn my wife's athletics hating friends!
  7. Rick, I don't think there is such a thing as a guaranteed contract in the NFL, that's why you see highly paid players released all the time so a team can get under the cap.
  8. Finally! Something you and I can agree on...
  9. I might be wrong on this, but I think Willis and Payne are off the boards. I think Willis commited to TTU and Payne to Utah State.
  10. I think CEO pay has been a topic of discussion over the past few years, not just in the 9 months since Obama was sworn into office. I think the reason that it's such a hot topic now is people are looking at all the companies that are failing, then seeing what the top execs at those companies are making. I think more people are getting fed up by the growning gap between what top execs and "line" employees get. I forget the exact statistic, but if you compare CEO salaries versus the average employee, the CEO's are making way more compared to the average employee when compared to say 20-50 years ago. With that said, I am not necessarily for a cap on CEO salaries, at least not a government imposed cap. I really do think that the Compensation Committees for most Board of Directors have really not lived up to their duty of making sure compensation is inline with Company performance. I predict there will be alot of changes in this regard due to shareholder suits or other actions.
  11. I watched an interview with Coach Jones on the meangreen site and he specifically talked about the play of Alzee, so I'm pretty sure he is with the team. Not sure why he is not on the roster.
  12. You probably won't have much luck here. There were many recruits, but due to the 90 degreee weather, they sure weren't wearing the letterman jackets. So unless people know what these guys faces look like, probably not going to get too many names.
  13. Pretty sure that's a quote from Animal House.
  14. Grayeagle - so under your plan - Providence, Villanova among other highly talented basketball programs wouldn't be division 1-A since they don't have FBS football? I actually really like the fact that there are like 340 D1 basketball teams. Means alot more when you make it to the field of 65, unlike football where more than half the teams go bowling.
  15. You haven't said this in this thread, but if you haven't said those exact words, you have at the very least strongly insinuated that you do. Also - I find it very hard to believe that you can believe someones intentions are " evil and sinister" and not hate them. As to the second part of your statement, if you truly believe that the Presidents intentions are to destroy the freedom of all Americans, then I feel really sorry for you. It must be really difficult to sleep at night feeling that way. I am not necessarily in support of the healthcare reform bill in its current state, but it would be a giant leap for me to say it's intentions aren't to try and improve the healthcare system. The methods to improve the system may be completely ineffective, but I think it's a stretch to say that Obama's intention is not to improve healthcare.
  16. Great source...and clearly the empirical evidence that we have been looking for. I now understand, your hatred for Obama is because his plan is evil and sinster based on someones secondhand description of the plan? Which part of the plan is evil and sinister to you? I think it's definitely clear to all followers of Jesus that he would definitely be against increasing access to healthcare.
  17. I think he just wants examples, that is all. Responses like this make it really hard to take you all seiously when these topics come up. Not all of us equate Rush Limbaugh and the like with Jesus, so we aren't all hip to the way Obama is trying to turn out children into Nazi's (wait, didn't Nazi's believe in a superior race...I'm so confused now).
  18. 31-27 NT with the win to improve to 2-0!
  19. My boy Brainard has 1 catch for 6 yards. Not bad. He was in the game during some crucial times, so that bodes well.
  20. Alright woke up this morning to a breakfast of approximately 1 gallon of mean green delicious kool-aid: NT 42 BSU 38 Let's go Mean Green!
  21. Can't wait for the prediction...probably won't sleep until I know your thoughts on the score.
  22. I thought they lost 3 of 4 receivers (although I think they do have a big time player back)? I do think we should be the underdog in this game, until the defense proves something we will always be the underdog (except against WKU).
  23. My couch...the only place I can make it to when I get off work at 6:00 in order to catch the kick-off.
