headcase with a headcase dad.

....and stanford might help bring in the real prize: notre dame....

she posted receipts on twitter. pics and the hospital discharge papers. miles is in big trouble now.

have you looked at the population centers on the west coast? los angeles, seattle, san francisco? the homes to the most dynamic industries in the world? they bring money, alumni, and tradition. they bring successful brands. brands that may be in need of a little rehabilitation, but that can be done with some work. its all about the ability to attract eyeballs and the ad money that comes with it. usc-ohio state is a much bigger draw than northwestern-purdue.

i didnt want them to do anything. i'm fine with it, but its a lot to pay for bagley. knox on a nothing deal is fine. taking on salary for draft picks is fine (even if i think they gave up too much in one deal and didnt get enough back in the other...but i dont really know what was achievable).
-
now reports of washington and oregon applying. also reports of every team in the pac 12 applying... apres usc, le deluge...
-
all these moves are meh. i thought we were moving the cap space to next summer?

kevin knox: 2 years 6 mil.

i dont think unc, duke, virginia are going to the sec. to join the cheatinest conference in america with a bunch of non-academoc schools? also, what does duke being to the sec? the same as kansas to the big ten: nothing. college basketball is nothing, its all about football. they'll be begging the big ten to let them in. clemson, miami, and florida state? yup. sign em up! sec 1000%. notre dame will be the interesting one. also, if notre dame comes to the big ten, it is NOT going to be in a division without one of michigan, ohio state, or penn state. notre dame will not be playing iowa and wiscy every year. more likely to send penn state east and maybe msu, but um/ohio state/nd are likely to be in the same division.

the payout per school in the big ten in a couple years is expected to be over $100 million per year. the expected payout in the pac 12 is less than $50 million. i think that's worth a few road trips for women's volleyball.

not sure what to think about that bagley deal. betting on upside, i guess. hopefully we can use our cap space to facilitate a durant deal...pick up some extra picks. is divencenzo a possibility?
-
and there it is...

i'd definitely deal cossa in a deal for a good center. goalies are fickle and cossa is a giraffe on skates right now. all the talent in the world, but he's got a long way to go. teams dont usually deal #1 defensemen or 1-2 centers for a reason. we've got our #1 defenseman... as for bert, he's a great disruptor and a really good player, but he's about to turn 26 and is due to get paid big money after this year. if your timeline to compete is now based on seider/raymond, then the time to move bert to maximize his value is now. he'll be in his 30s when the wings are ready to compete. with his play style and injury history, there's a good chance he's not the same player by then.

harden was even worse! love watching these things blow up in their faces. next up: watching the sixers implode after morey signs harden to a six year extension only to watch him eat himself out of the league halfway through the contract.
-
the big ten can really pick and choose. oregon and washington seem like no brainers from a football perspective, but im not sure if oregon fits the academic bill. stanford and cal certainly do. kansas brings nothing to the table. vandy has academics but nothing else and would never leave the sec. duke , carolina, and notre dame are the prizes left for the big ten. maybe bringing stanford AND usc adds extra incentive for notre dame to come?

michigan state's finest.

bwaaaa haaa haaa haaa, nets! all for one season of fat ass out of shape james harden!

KD asks for a trade...
-
all of a sudden, sham amateurism doesnt seem so bad...
-
that's also a possibility. then snooty holier-than-thou schools like michigan and notre dame will have decisions to make. i know notre dame will jettison its supposed morals to win. i suspect michigan eventually will too.
-
the recruiting issues are 90% nil and 10% staff changeover. if um doesnt get off its ass on nil, its fucked. were already seeing the results. honestly, they made a wakeup call like this to get over the stick up their ass about rules. the big ten wont get rid of anyone. they will add, add, and add some more. they'll get to 20-24 and so will the sec. those conferences will strike a deal with the others to give them some cash they can disperse. some will drop football altogether, some will continue to compete at a lower level.
-
it would take bertuzzi, #8, and maybe zadina or hronek. i think. would you rather keep bert and have a young player on an elc who MIGHT be the next raymond but COULD ALSO be the next zadina? like you, i'm more worried about his attitude issues and how much they'd have to pay him in two years. i'd pass because the price will likely be more than i want to pay plus the aforementioned attitude issues.
-
and you laughed at me when i said the big ten should do this. lol. $$$$$$$$$ rules all. the dominoes are falling and you dont want to get left behind. there will eventually be two conferences and everyone else will be playing for the scraps left by the sec and the big ten. florida state and miami to the sec. maybe arizona?
-
now go get duke, carolina, washington, and notre dame.
