I don't even know what to say.... I'm crushed.

As a Red Sox fan - I know what they're going through. I'm afraid I may feel the same way in a few hours.

He was outstanding, though I feel for the Cub Nation.

I don't think he even goes to the Final Four when his team is not playing. I'm sure he cares little.

Man, that's really, really sad. Maybe they can turn it into a discount theatre, like the article referenced.

Huge win for the program!

Any game for a conference title is huge. Hopefully the Ladies can step it up a notch.

I always *liked* the white jersies being "Home". I'll probably stew on this for awhile.

I don't know about that - alot of folks might be out celebrating.

I have a question for all hockey fans. What do you think of all the hometeams wearing their dark jersies for homegames and their white ones for those on the road. It was pretty jarring for me - in all 3 games that were played last night. It just doesn't seem right.

They tried this last year with mixed results.

Pudge just hit a huge 3 run shot in Game 1 of the NLCS to get the Fish back in the game.

How about the playoffs overall this season?! Man it's turned into something else - great stuff. Both LCS should be great - in fact both should go 6 or 7 games IMHO. ********************* Dear Satan Lucifer, Baphomet, Cthulhu, Beelzebub, Baal, etc, How many people must I kill to arrange a Red Sox vs Cubs 7 game world series? Please reply with desired number, and if desired, method of killing. Forward address for delivery of said corpses. Soul may be available for purchase on ebay. Thx, Courtland PS: Whats the going rate to give the entire Yankee franchise a horrible strain of ebola? I'll take that also. ********************** BTW you know that's a twisted, sick joke, but dang if we don't need something to turn the curse off. I don't know if I can take the Yankees whipping the Sox again in the postseason.

Not a bad move. If they had gone directly to NBA length I woulda been upset, but this is a good step.

Okay, if you wanna compare sports with a longer schedule...look at what Trilli's murderous schedule did to our basketball team. We're still recovering from that.

I'm not disparraging about our women's team..just like I have alot of respect for the football team. But look at the schedule..at OU, at Air Force, at Arkansas.... Even top 25 teams would be wary of facing that kind of schedule. By the same token do you want our girls to go AT all top 25 schools? That doesn't necessarily make you better if you get consistently whipped - and you have no confidence playing conference. Just look at what playing that kind of schedule has doen to football squads like LA Monroe. I feel that NT is lucky, that it didn't destroy our program.

I doubt they want to go on the road to *alot* of ranked schools...and it'd be tough to get them to play us in Denton. Obviously 1 or 2 a year can be done(ie ND), but they don't wanna tour the country to get kicked in the stomach...like our football team does. That would by my guess.

I woulda hoped for a bit more size with a forward. Nonetheless, he could turn out to be a good one, we shall see.

I guess he's decided not to give up...

A well deserved honor IMHO.

ND is a perennial power in women's soccer..tough match up.

Last? Well that sounds about right, unfortunately. <_

Dang, we beat'em by a TD.

Aaron, Los Angeles fans are pretty bad. They support the Lakers pretty well(but who knows when they lose) but that's about it. Well, to be fair...there are alot of USC and UCLA grads that support their schools...BUT it's hard for the Bruins to ever sell out the Rose Bowl, even with a massive enrollment and alumni base(not to mention just the insane amount of people out here). They do a great job of selling out Pauley Pavillion(even this last year when they were so bad), but USC doesn't draw flies for their basketball program. It's kinda funny because Anaheim has pretty loyal fans, they just have a much smaller fan base to tap from. They are looked down upon by alot of "LA fans"...because they're dwarfed by the big city. *************** BTW...I don't like the Cowboys, and never really did. I went into a state of depression the years they won it all, and their current state gives me great joy. That said, I hated all the fair weather fans that hated them when they were down and then jumped on the bandwagon when they won.

It was a 32 point lead...and even if the Oilers had won that game, I doubt they woulda gotten past Pittsburgh or Miami - both on the road.
