Like A Mofo

I wouldnt say it was the easy way out....dosent Urban have ties with the Florida president or something?? Maybe that was part of it....I do agree with you if you win at ND, it is much different then winning at Florida...maybe Urban didnt like the academic restrictions part of recruiting at ND vs Florida....maybe ND and Meyer didnt agree on certian things.

This is one of the funniest threads, perhaps ever...I cannot stop laughing.... Hey, I got no problem with Russia...this is what I support when it comes to Russia!!! Russia

I dont know about you, but there is so much college football on now, I barely even remember the Irish are even on NBC

I agree with you...and thats why sometimes I laugh when people call ND a joke now....excuse them for looking seriously at academic standards. Unfortunately in today's world, you have a choice: Offer basketweaving 101 and win games, or dont win games. ITs that $imple.

That was a joke when ND beat FSU head to head, both teams had 1 loss, but F$U won the title. Just like 1994 with Penn State not getting any share of the title.

It dosent. It has to do with HIGHER academic standards. ND needs to bring theres down if they plan on returning to 10, 11 win seasons. That is 21st Century Football, lower academic $tandard$, more winning. And before anyone lays into me, I like Florida 2nd only to my Nittany Lions, and I do not like ND

Trade 2/3/2004 NEW YORK (Sports Network) - The New York Yankees and New York Mets have reportedly agreed on a deal to swap lefthanded relievers. The New York Daily News reported Friday that the Yankees will re-acquire Mike Stanton from the Mets in exchange for Felix Heredia. Stanton confirmed the trade with the paper in a phone interview, and an official announcement could come as early as Friday. Two years ago, Stanton signed a three-year, $9 million contract with the Mets after rejecting a two-year, $4.6 million offer from the Yankees, who decided to sign Chris Hammond as their lefthanded setup man.

Oh man that was a classic too!!! The "Canadian Comet" Tim Tindale!! I still remember his long run!!!

Was thinking about this the other day. There are quite a few to pick from. My personal favorite Bills/Dolphins moment ever was the 1990 Dvisional Playoff game when the Bills win 44-34. That was so great, especially beating the damn Fish in the playoffs, and hearing Dolphins fans the next day I went to school with at the time. What are yours?

Damn stevestojan...you have turned over a new leaf!!!! I hope you are right.

Couldnt agree more.....I would not even tease this game My best bets of the week (especially for teasers): Green Bay +10 at Philly Jacksonville +3.5 at home vs Pittsburgh

So maybe the 2002 Angels are another good example? It can happen. Thats the bottom line.

Im sure you were saying that when the SMALL market Marlins won the World Series too, or was baseball OK then because you got the result you wanted????

Im sorry, but I dont understand why many here just automatically think Pittsburgh has the best defense in the AFC. Say what you want about the Pats, they just have that uncanny knack to make the biggest play at the biggest times. Sure Pitt smacked NE in the regular season, but in many ways that can be a false barometer on judging a matchup. (No Dillon, Secondary banged up, etc) Remember in 1991 when Buffao got smacked at KC 33-6 on MNF (I believe Levy was fined 1K for the lip service vulgarities on display that night) and then proceeded to whip the Chiefs 37-14 in the playoffs the same year??? Playoffs for the most part are a COMPLETELY different animal. I hate the Pats with a passion, but Im sorry to say, I really do not envision Pittsburgh winning the rematch with the Pats. Indy IMO has a somewhat better chance of beating NE to get to the SB, but I just do not see it.

Willis Buffalo Bills president and general manager Tom Donahoe isn't interested in the vindication that comes with the sudden success of running back Willis McGahee, but he has it nevertheless McGahee's four touchdowns last weekend and his play over the past seven weeks are proof Donahoe knew what he was doing when he made the gutsy call in the 2003 draft, spending a first-round pick on a back who couldn't play for a year. Donahoe took heat for the move, and it didn't make sense. There was a chance there to pull off a steal, and Donahoe not only recognized it, he took advantage of it. Now, he and the Bills look like geniuses. "It's working out," Donahoe said this week. "I'm just happy for Willis, especially when you see what he went through." I'm happy for Willis, too, but I'm just as happy for Donahoe and the Bills. They had to withstand criticism from a raft of outsiders who wondered why they used the 23rd pick of the draft on a back when they already had Travis Henry manning the position and they could have reached for a defensive lineman. But that's the point. To get a defensive lineman there, they would have had to reach. Ten were already gone, and the club was left discussing the possibility of choosing someone like Nebraska defensive end Chris Kelsay or Miami's William Joseph with the choice. The Bills weren't interested in Joseph. They were interested in Kelsay, but he wasn't among their top 23 candidates. So they took the detour and chose McGahee, and they made the right move. Not only does he show signs of becoming a premier back, but the Bills landed Kelsay in the second round anyway. "We felt to run the ball like we wanted we needed two quality backs," said Donahoe. "We felt like this was something we couldn't pass up." Credit goes to Donahoe. But it also goes to the Buffalo medical staff that studied McGahee's reconstructed left knee and cleared him without reservations, and it goes to owner Ralph Wilson, who stood in Donahoe's corner when he chose the University of Miami back. But, frankly, it goes to McGahee, too, for working tirelessly to return after an injury so gruesome some wondered if the poor guy would recover. What's intriguing about McGahee is that as well as he's playing right now -- and he has five 100-yard performances in his past six starts -- what you see is not necessarily what you might get. Neither Donahoe nor Tom Modrak, the Bills assistant GM, believes that McGahee is 100 percent, and that there is more -- perhaps much more -- that we haven't seen from him. "There's no telling how far he can go," said Modrak. "I think there's room we don't know about." McGahee's return has been deliberate and steady, with the Bills gradually working him in the lineup as their confidence in him grew. They watched him take over for Henry in an Oct. 17 date with Miami and produce 111 yards. They saw him start to pick up blocks. They saw him start to shed tacklers. What they didn't see was the explosive gear that once made him the nation's top collegiate back -- until, that is, McGahee turned it on last weekend to outrace defenders for a 30-yard touchdown run. "We think he's going to be a lot better," said Donahoe. "He's done well, but he can do better, and our offense can do better. We need to be more efficient." Give the Bills time. They gave it to McGahee, and look what happened: They're 5-1 when he's in the starting lineup, 0-5 when he's not. Tom Donahoe deserves a curtain call.

I agree. I was looking at those picks and was impressed as well.

Bills over the Panthers!!!!!!!!!! (Hey I can dream!!)

Its gotta be someone we all know!

Im not sure about that.....The Black Bear dosent seem to be obsessed with Drew.....its gotta be someone who has been here at least for a little while...just my opinion... We need to hunt down The Black Bear!!!

I remember stevestojan started a thread to find out who Generation ME was, does anyone here suspect who maybe The Black Bear??? I have a feeling The Black Bear has been here for awhile Any Thoughts?

Maybe he learned from RJ when he was with the Bucs...I still cannot believe RJ has a SB ring and Kelly dosent. Sometimes life is just so unfair

Absolutely. And it will yet again change the way people think about baseball...it happened in 1994 and is happening again 10 years later. People have always had these suspicions, but now its confirmed. I think MLB and its players should just get together and just come clean with this whole thing already, the longer you let it drag on, the worse it will get. Just admit to the mistakes and come up with real solutions for this problem. Giambi should and never will be looked at the same way again.

Good post Rockpile, I totally agree with what you said and feel about Bledsoe

Me too, I cannot stop laughing at this!!!!
