Re: MLB Baseball : Offseason 2012

As a Yankees fan, it's good to see some other team make a really bad long-term deal. I like Pujols, but 10 years seems way too long. So if you're the Cardinals, don't you now make a hard run at Prince Fielder? He is a few years younger and would have arguably the same impact for their lineup as Pujo...

Re: NBA Season 2011-12 Thread

Tyson Chandler probably going to the Knicks, too. Rumor was the Knicks offered Amare to New Orleans for Paul. As a Knicks' fan, I'd rather have a "Big Three" of Paul, Chandler and 'Melo than Paul, Amare and 'Melo. Amare and 'Melo are somewhat redundant players, pure scorers. The ball isn't big enou...

Re: NCAA Football 12

Recruiting seems a bit much, but I'm sure there are people clamoring for that amount of detail. The good news is you don't have to be heavily involved in the recruiting, if at all. In my Syracuse dynasty for recruiting, all I do is go into the screen where you can set the recruiting priority by pos...

Re: NCAA Season 2011

I thought the Big East Conference was messed up until I realized the following. UCLA is 6-6 but playing in the Pac 12 Championship game. If they win, they get the BCS birth and go to the Rose Bowl. A loss, and they are 6-7 and not even bowl eligible. Talk about all or nothing. I would love to see a ...

Re: OT: Fantastic Super Tecmo Bowl tribute

About 2 weeks ago I hooked up my old NES for my daughter. She is 7 years old, and she was having a blast playing Super Techmo Bowl. Though I did have to explain to her who the Oilers were. Also impressive that after 20+ years, that the NES still works great! Most of us on this board have been lucky ...

Re: Big East, Boom Outta Here?

WVU to the Big 12, down to five members now. As a Syracuse fan, it is sad to see the Big East crumble like this. However, the league did it to themselves. Wonder now where the rest of the football schools will go. I was hoping WVU and UConn would go to the ACC. That way you could have had a divisio...

Re: Big East, Boom Outta Here?

So is this the end of Notre Dame as an independent? When the Big East completely crumbles, do they want to keep their hoops team in what will essentially be a mid-major? None of the super conferences are going to accept them if they don't join for football. I wonder if they are on the phone with the...

I have to hold my breath for a while being a UConn guy, as the ACC could easily hold at 14 for...well, forever possibly and my school will be stuck in the 'Big Left Behinds'. I doubt that, Murph. UConn's hoop program is too strong, and its football program is ascendant. Plus it's one of only two "m...

So I re-aligned the Big East (Penn State, BC, Army and Navy in....Louisville, S. Flor & Cincy out) and started my Syracuse dynasty. I get three games in and the real Syracuse decided to bolt for the ACC. Now I'm torn between keeping my new look Big East, and moving SU into the ACC after the season. ...

Re: Big East, Boom Outta Here?

It's ironic and sad that the Pitt and Syracuse announcement came the same day founder and original comminssioner Dave Gavitt passed away. Back in 1981, Penn State wanted into the Big East and the Big East said no. Although that was 30 years ago, I really believe that was a huge moment in all of this...

Re: Early NCAA basketball thread

This wasn't a USA Basketball national team. Georgetown was representing the university. G'town is a Catholic school, and brawls are part of the Irish Catholic tradition. Plus, as Tim alluded, G'town was the Evil Empire during the early days of the Big East. So the hoop team was just staying true to...

But there probably aren't too many other sports which could replace golf tournament broadcasts on weekends when the NFL isn't in season. Maybe more tennis, maybe some European soccer, maybe more NBA games on weekends. NASCAR gets higher ratings than golf every weekend, except for the majors. Unless...
