Yeah I like us with Arrieta in a one game of course. The problem for us beyond that is who can lead us?

I will say as a Cubs fan I would rather play the Cards in a series than the Pirates. Mainly due to how banged up they are. I can honestly say for once I don't know who comes out of the NL. Might be the year the Dodgers do it.

My thing on Rose and I am glad MLB did their explanation of this, the MLB is a separate entity than the Hall. The Hall chooses as one of its rules if a player is suspended they can't be in the Hall. While we all know Rose is one of the greatest players of all time he doesn't deserve to be in the hall due to breaking the rules. The one IMO who deserves to be in is Joe Jackson. Landis had to make a statement which he did. You don't make a statement unless you take down a superstar.

My guess is Gary Harris, Theo Pinson, or Goodluck.

Please start another thread for that. Last warning for everyone.

Hell even Kentucky would be jealous of that and they don't have sophomores or juniors or Tom Izzo. Something seems a bit off with him being able to load up on a class like that when he hasn't been able close on many great players as he would have hoped. Before someone brings up recent success he has been to like 7 final fours in 20 years. I just hope Izzo didn't cave to recruiting.

True but if the NCAA clears him and no new information comes out it is not on the team. Think Kanter from Kentucky. For Lyle he will have grade issues where he will need help. When does help become a violation? Oregon of all schools didn't feel comfortable waiting on a 5*kid to get his grades. What does that say? Talented? Absolutely. But Lyle has more opportunities to pull down a program as long as nothing new comes out after/if Maker is cleared. It isn't just Lyle acting up. It is the need to constantly babysit, do his homework for him, and keep his head when things aren't going well that are the issue.

For different reasons yes. Lyle's issues weren't handler issues. Lyle was grades, attitude, and stability issues. With Maker if he is cleared you don't have to worry about him. If Lyle gets cleared you are still constantly worrying about him and his fragile persona. Talent is not a question with either. Maker has more of a chance if he gets cleared. Lyle should not be a freshman and I would be willing to guess grades will always be an issue for him as well as other things.

It will be for a couple weeks.

So Yogi dunked huh? I am of the personal opinion to start a new thread if anyone is this opinionated over this type of subject. Please do not turn a thread that has no bearing whatsoever on what this was turned into.

Boob what is happening to your Cards? That is some Cubs like stuff going on over there. The last couple weeks have not been kind.

Oh I think I have seen that.

Would love a bowl game at Ford Field but unfortunately they will look at our home attendance for stuff like that. Just don't see that one. The other one? Absolutely

Shocked with all their goal line stances they don't have a single naked bootleg. Move Mariotta around some for f sake. That is what you got when you drafted him?

I still think he commits in the fall based on his schedule of visits, but everything else I agree with.

Washington actually leads the league in that stat.

OSU - 47 IU - 14 Bad feeling about this game but feeling great about my 7 win prediction.

That isn't totally true. As a Bears fan I am content. We can suck together with you guys having a shit ton talent.

Well at least the upcoming draft is defense heavy. Over/under on Grigson going WR in 1st rd?

I give the choreography a solid 7.5 for sure.

Natty was saving that one for a rainy day. Jaybob my wife enjoyed your dance and asked if I would ever do that. All I could give her was a simple nope.

Boob you are the f'ing man... Lol how did your wife not run after sitting through that? That was great!

Can you imagine after Brady retires? Will be like the Cowboys from the mid 90s til now.

I think both have to be gone. If you fire your GM he is going to want to put his stamp on the team. I like Pagano, but I don't see the Colts winning a Super Bowl with him.

Gotta say I am impressed with Mariotta. First time I have got to watch him this season. He seems comfortable and well coached. Two things you rarely say when discussing a QB who is not a prototype QB. Of course as I was typing this pick 6. Not Mariotta's fault though. As a Bears fan I would be concerned by the way Grigson drafts and what the Titans are doing.
