ND won't take urban. he's too toxic right now. ND only takes toxic personalities when they're losing (like hiring lou holtz) and then once they start winning they get on their moral high horse and proclaim how they just need a great moral leader as coach (like getting rid of holtz when he complained about not being able to get randy moss into school) and then hire ty willingham (cause he's black and so well spoken) until he sucks. then when they start losing they hire the "next big thing" and let him be corrupt and an ass hole and kill kids (brian kelly) but they dont care cause theyre winning. they've been on a winning streak so now they'll get on their moral high horse again and hire matt campbell or luke fickell. they wont touch urban.

crazy!!!!! fickell will go to nd for sure, unless he thinks ryan day will go to the nfl.

so, when is the last time a team got the #1 pick in the draft and then finished with a worse record the next year? not counting teams where the #1 pick didnt play due to injury. asking for a friend...

oh g2. g2 g2 g2.... never underestimate how much money billionaire baseball owners will spend on new fancy toys. correa will probably get 350 from los angeles (one of the two franchises there) or seattle or houston. detroit will pay 200+ for baez or story. but it wont be that bad because the deal will be shorter. if you want baez for 10 years, its going to cost you 250-300 million. but i dont think he goes for that much.

until the supreme court changed the law. after that, all sports league have joined almost every sports league in the rest of the world in recognizing that gambling exists and using that to make money for their businesses.

i see the from the first half boxscore that cade's shooting hasnt been fixed yet. we'll see what the second half box score tells me.

statistically he had a really good game. but i watched a lot of it and he looked terrible.

the yankees will sign boyd and then cut gleybar torres to make room for him on the 40 man. then the tigers will pick up torres. it just has to happen.

i find gus johnson annoying in every game. but i'm old.

baez turned down $180 million from the cubs. agents arent stupid, they know he'll get more than that. he'll be in the $200 million area code.

i think he gets more than lindor. its a year later and the prices always go up. and he's arguably just as good or better than what lindor was.

how? semien just set the floor.

i like brandstatter even if he is terrible at play by play.

great hire by usc.

amazing that he agreed to that. great deal for the twins.

baez will get more than semien, he's younger.

baez is very streaky. he had a lousy august with the mets and a great september. he didnt change his approach, he just ran into a few more fastballs. baez's 2022 bbref projection: 254/304/462 he's 29. he is who he is at this point. he's better than what we have. he'll be a very frustrating player who will have great highs and low lows. he'll make great plays and then dog it a bunch. that's the way he always was with the cubs. but he will hit some home runs and he will run the bases well and he will provide some flash in the field and he is better than what the tigers have and he'll be cheaper than correa or seager. if youre ok with that for $20-$30 million over 6-8 years, that's what you'll get.

he'll be a top 5 pick next year. and chances are the lions will be picking in the top 5 again next year too.

line is up to michigan -10.5

the chances of getting a good nfl qb in the third round are about 5 or 6%. if youre going to take a qb, the odds are overwhelming that you will need to do it in round one.

me too. and iowa is not a bad team. theyre not a great team, and playing them at a neutral site isnt the same as playing them at kinnick, but i expect them to break out all the stops. all the trick plays, break every tendency. this game is scary, imo.

let's beat iowa first. as a stereotypical michigan fan, i am dreading this game.

watching the game on replay, the offensive line obviously stands out. they dominated ohio state. and ohio state's defensive weakness at linebacker came back to haunt them. they couldnt plug holes, get off blocks, or stop haskins. on defense michigan's tackling stood out to me. they kept ohio state's skill players in front of them and tackled them. they made ohio state take their time and go all the way down the field. not many huge plays or quick strikes. iowa will be the complete opposite type of challenge.

good. fuck ryan day and ohio state. they've had 20 years of shit talking and they backed it up and won almost every game. this time they lost. now they can sit and take some shit talking from michigan for a change.

i think they will hang around the edges for a while unless they suffer some injuries to key guys like larkin or bertuzzi. i think the wings should be back to being good in a couple years and their prospects are exciting. i trust the yzerplan. but its going to take a while. i think we're finding out just how little he was left to work with when he got here.
