  1. My point was he didn't say which signing day and I wanted to be a sarcastic asshole.
  2. June is after February.
  3. My wife is wanting to get an indoor trainer for the winter. She wants a Wahoo trainer that is $1,200. Are the Wahoo trainers good? Any reason to get the most expensive one instead of a cheaper one? Is there another brand we should be looking at?
  4. Exactly, at this point CDC gets absolutely zero blame for the basketball shitshow. He has done practically everything he can up to this point, which was opening the checkbook for good assistants.
  5. Sandy Leon was traded to the Indians for a minor league pitcher.
  6. This is the kind of player who has lackluster seasons his first year or two on campus and then is suddenly an All American. Hopefully he stays here all 4 years.
  7. There's no way Peterson got pushed out.
  8. That's shocking. You have to wonder if it is health related.
  9. aggy sucked against all of the spread teams they played in 2012. LA Tech almost beat them. SEC didn't have any spread teams that year, Big 12 was full of them. Anyone thinking aggy would have gone undefeated is full of shit.
  10. I doubt we had the money. Not many big donors are willing to shell out big money to can a basketball coach at Texas. That's not on CDC.
  11. The refs didn't help them out nearly as much as some of you are saying. McNeese got away with a lot down low early in the game. Washington for them flopped like a bitch.
  12. It's so much fun listening to our announcers talk about every mid major as if they are Gonzaga.
  13. Hell I'm just glad that his dad is getting on to him for not getting enough rebounds instead of getting onto the coach because some other kid took a shot.
  14. Interesting, most people don't put a wedding dress on the town bicycle.
  15. Kill them all
  16. There's a huge difference in the steriod scandal and this one with the Astros. The steriod era was individual players choosing to dope up to gain a competitive advantage. It was very widespread but still individual players. With the Astros it is a team that has organized the cheating. The actual team organization participated in it. That is a huge difference over individual players cheating, no matter how widespread the steriod dosing was. It really takes this scandal up a notch when the team that cheated won the championship. Their cheating directly resulted in a championship, that's a big deal. That's why the Astros are under so much scrutiny right now. It also doesn't help the the Astros front office has made huge mistakes in the public perception area either.
  17. We only have 1 available scholarship and are saving it for Brown. This isn't a concern unless he goes elsewhere.
  18. Damn Garrett got straight up punked by the NFL. They could have just said nothing but instead they flat out called him a liar publicly.
  19. Really it all comes down to what actual evidence there is. It appears that there is at least some concrete evidence that the Astros cheated. They should be punished for that. If there is physical evidence that others teams also did this then those teams should be punished as well.
  20. Garrett is full of shit but we all knew he would eventually accuse Rudolph of racial slurs. There is no fucking way Garrett would have kept quiet about it to the media for this long. And if by some miracle he had there is still no fucking way he wouldn't have told the entire Browns organization about it 10x by now.
  21. Grandal just signed with the White Sox for 4 years $73 million.
  22. If I was the commissioner handing out the punishment it would be in the form of a ban on Hinch and Luhnow. I think if you banned those two for say 5 years from baseball it would go a long way in deterring another team from doing the same type of cheating.
  23. A multi year postseason ban would certainly be harsher than a loss of draft picks or a fine. At least with the postseason ban it's going to harm the team in free agency which is a short term effect. But like you said, if you asked the Padres or Rangers I bet they would gladly take a championship this year even if it included a 2 year postseason ban immediately following that championship.
  24. I watched the Georgetown Penn State game and Georgetown was not good. This is a game we SHOULD win easily. We won't though because we never make things easy for ourselves. I bet we win in fustrating fashion.
  25. If you want to put an actual stop to this, or stop it as much as possible, then you have to take away championships and individual awards. Players don't care about a loss of draft picks or a hefty fine. For them the reward still outweighs the risk. Teams care more about it but still prefer the increased production over a draft pick or fine, especially when the increased production produces a championship. You have to make the risks outweigh the reward if you truly want to stop this type of cheating. A big problem for the Astros is that they have made themselves out to be the bad guy over the last few years. No fans or media of other teams have any sympathy for them. I think they get a harsher punishment than they may deserve because of this.
