    BCS Chances (El Gigante Merge)

    jwinslow: "are you serious? The guy took complete blame for it after the game. I'm sure you would have had an eloquent, mild, touching speech if they had interviewed you a few minutes after that horrendous coaching blunder occurred." Stop. Smith's tirade wasn't a "given." He panicked. You...

    2005 Freshmen

    BayBuck: "Same could have been (and probably often was) said about Kudla coming into this season, but he's turned out to be fairly decent." Mike Kudla's injury history has nothing to do with Mike D'Andrea's, and doesn't impact it in any way. There's no parallel to be drawn here, unless knee...

    Mili: "Well, we haven't blown that many teams out early like we did in the first half of '02 and back in '97." Yeah, but my point is that regardless of blowouts, Tress & Coop played the young LBs during critical games and at critical times. Look at all the PT Hawk got in the mid-season Big...

    OSU v. ND: Sugar Bowl

    buckiprof: "I agree with you Sloops that OSU v ND is almost an impossibility. I think that Fiesta would take OSU or ND first, and then Orange take whoever Fiesta doesn't." Agreed. As long as the Big East is affiliated with this system (& have no commitment to any of the Bowls, which they...

    OSU v. ND: Sugar Bowl

    NDC: "Sloop- Sounds reasonable but man would that suck....." Its the only way this thing can shake out. I'll put this out there for you guys & you tell me how you'd fill this out. Here are the available teams (assuming that everything plays out as expected): At-Large ND, At-Large OSU...

    OSU v. ND: Sugar Bowl

    Let me say this right now: there is 0, and I mean ZERO chance of OSU playing ND in a BCS Bowl this year. Let me tell you why: When the smoke clears on the BCS, there will be # 1 & # 2 in the Rose Bowl (obviously). Then you have the conference commitments to each Bowl: SEC Champ goes to...

    NightmaresDad: "It won't be like we will have a bunch of wide-eyed, snot-nosed kids out ther playing LB next year." The experience of next year's LBs isn't what concerns me. What does concern me is whether or not these kids can play. Even in years where we had a great starting 3, the...

    Game Thread Game Ten: Ohio State 48, Northwestern 7 (final)

    BuckeyeTillIDie: "Ohio State is going to beat NW up and down the field for 60 minutes." You (and others) are making some very valid points, and I agree with your takes. But there's one factor that nobody has mentioned as the reason why this will be a behind-the-woodshed ass whoopin'...

    BCS Chances (El Gigante Merge)

    Steve19: "Herbie thinks PSU loses at MSU. I am not so sure. MSU was gutted a bit at Purdue yesterday." I don't think MSU has a chance to beat Penn State. The Spartans mailed in their season after the blocked FG attempt before the half in the 'Shoe, and John L Smith decided to throw his...

    Top 5 songs of your favorite band

    Pearl Jam 1. Yellow Ledbetter 2. Black 3. Release 4. Go 5. Footsteps (the bottom three vary frequently depending on the mood I'm in ... but the Top 2 are always the same. My favorite songs of all time).

    Postseason Awards Tracker & Comments

    Today, A.L. & N.L. Rookies of the Year: AL 1. Huston Street, RP, A's: 5-1, 23 Sv, 1.72 ERA. Pretty much a no-brainer here. He's already one of the Top 5 relievers in baseball, & probably getting better. His ERA was 2nd best among AL closers (a guy who comes out to 'Enter: Sandman' was...

    BCS Chances (El Gigante Merge)

    Actually, (barring any upsets) upon further review, I'd be shocked if it didn't pan out like this: Rose Bowl 1. USC vs. 2. Texas Fiesta Bowl At-Large Notre Dame vs. Big East Champ West Virginia Orange Bowl ACC Champ Miami vs. Big Ten Champ Penn State Sugar Bowl SEC Champ Alabama...

    BCS Chances (El Gigante Merge)

    Unless PSU loses, I don't think OSU can make a BCS Bowl. Considering that a 2 loss ND team is guaranteed a BCS bid and they're a lock to run the table (Navy, 'Cuse, & Stamford remaining), there's only one at-large bid to get. Pac-10 If UCLA beats USC (which is unlikely), OSU is guaranteed...

    Revenge of the Sith

    buckeyegrad: "I just read a few pages of that old argument......good times." BG, for old times sake, I thought I'd post an excerpt from the Return of the Jedi novel/script. This is Luke's conversation with Obi-Wan's spirit on Dagobah (obviously never made the final movie cut). You'll get a...

    Mr. May (or May-Rod)

    What a joke this guy is .. he can't be shipped out of NY fast enough for my tastes. 0 RBIs in his last NINE postseason games & now this .. he aint even in the class (on the field or off it) of Captain Derek Sanderson Jeter.

    Welcome Back Tibor75.

    Tibor's buddy (if I recall) was DiscoStoo, who was also DaveShula. Is this the same guy?

    Revenge of the Sith

    IronBuckI: "I mean it was total bullshit that he basically told everybody that Anakin was going to turn to the dark side." I got the same reaction going to see Titanic & telling the whole theater that the boat sinks in the end. The sad thing is, if you're a guy & have to sit through that...

    Revenge of the Sith

    buckeyegrad: "Funny, I thought the exact same thing about you as I started reading the first post." Like Michael Corleone once said, "Everytime I think I'm out, they pull me back in .." I actually bought the DVD yesterday to check out the deleted scenes .. I held back any comment on them...
