  1. Surprised the UCLA/Nebraska game doesn't get talked about at all. I wonder if Nebraska's offense can outperform the suckiness of their defense.

     

    Other games that hold my interest that aren't Bama/A&M or UCLA/Nebraska;

    Washington/Illinois

    Vandy/SC (obviously)

    Wisconsin/Az St

     

    Mildly interested to see if BC can beat USC and if Southern Utah can beat Washington St.

    As a Nebraska fan, I think I can answer that question a lot better than most here. The answer is no.

    So we're doing fantasy this year, yes?  I need to redeem myself from last year's injury plagued season.

    Last season didn't happen.
    Sure it did! *Polishes imaginary trophy.*

     

     

    Is that the King Nerd Of Basketball trophy?

     

    Loooolllzzzzzzzzz

     

    Hence imaginary! I wouldn't be too worried, though; I doubt I could somehow get Kobe and Kyrie with my first two picks again this season.  

     

     

    So, you polish your imaginary Knob because you don't have a real one?

     

    Well, it appears I did not see the bolding of the post. Wow.

  4. There are a lot of things that have been said about the Big Ten and the Big Ten Network, but them losing the commentary feed on the Nebraska game, and playing "Runaround Sue" was phenomenal.

  5. As a Pitt fan, I think I can say that Chryst is the worst of the lot since Johnny Majors second stint in the early 90's. I really hope they go 2-10 or something like that so the new Chancellor will fire him and the AD.

    I just want to apologize, as a Nebraska fan, that you have to deal with Steve Pederson.  It can happen, he can be vanquished! 

  6. I hate to be one of those Cleveland fans, but you know the QB situation sucks when I think back to a bustop conversation I had In 2006 where a dude was telling me the Browns should have tried to get Vince Young. I'm pretty sure, hindsight being 20/20, he might have been right.

    I remember back in 2003 when I was so excited that the Browns named KELLY HOLCOMB starter over Tim Couch.  This, among other things has lead me to my current NFL atheism. 

  7.  

    The Clemson entrance is getting a better hype job than some bowl games will later this year. Seriously, this is pretty cool.

    I went to the Southern Miss game last night to see the kickoff of the Monken Era, so I missed that game. I finally got around to watching it this morning, and the way they shot the Howard's Rock tradition was truly awesome. I'm not even a Clemson fan and I was jacked.But I did get to see Southern Miss stretch their losing streak to 13 games, live and in person. So that was cool. I guess.

     

    How does their offense look?  Can they move the ball with any success? If so they may have a shot against Nebraska's defense next week.

  8. Were you ever on the list Nikita?

    Do you know of any wrestlers who got placed in that 300-500 range that actually got any kind of recognition bump?

    I feel like back in the 90's indy guys actually benefited from a spot on the 500. I know for the longest time I only knew of Reckless Youth, Mr. Ooh La La, and Quack from the list, and it made me want to know more about them. But nowadays, who even reads it? And it feels less beneficial than say someone passing around youtube matches.

    I think I remember Nikita being on the list in 2002 (which is the only edition I ever read), it was either that, or the big "profiles of every promotion in the US" magazine they put out at around the same time.  I remember being a big fan of a belt having to do with brass knuckles

     

  9. Finally, my week is complete. If Rodgers got hurt, we'd be 4-12 at best unless they signed some veteran stop-gap via trade or off free agency that I don't have an inkling of existing.

    Edit: Charlie Batch, Byron Leftwich, Tyler Thigpen, Trent Edwards, Jamarcus Russell, Matt Leinart, Jordan Palmer. These seem to be the semi-active name free agents still in existence. Good grief, Vince Young really is the best option.

    I swear my eyes turned "Tyler Thigpen" into "Yancey Thigpen" the first time I read this.

  10.  

    Wrestlemania 20 is probably Eddy/Brock but this rules

    Do you mean Eddy/Angle? That was a good match anyway.

     

    It wouldn't shock me at all if they just put Triple H vs. Shawn as the Main Event for WrestleMania 20.

  11. We don't have any money because of Boozer's magic bean contract. Aldridge wanted to come over but we couldn't get the pieces right. We're pretty much locked into this core group for one more season, which isn't bad if D-Rose sets foot on the court and doesn't fall into a billion pieces.In 2014 we'll amnesty Boozer and we'll finally bring in Nikola Mirotic to see if he's the real or the jabroni. Deng will probably be gone too and we'll use his money to go hunting for another big fish. As a fan, I'm in a pretty good spot as my team willactually be competitive next season(as opposed to tanking) and will hopefully be better the season after.

    You might be able to answer this better than most people, but why didn't the Bulls just keep Aldridge instead of trading him for Tyrus Thomas?
