The above post, of course, is assuming they finish with the same conference record. I just saw where Tenn. is now ahead of Kentucky with the win today.

Tennessee-Kentucky is the perfect example of how ****ed up college basketball and the NCAA Tournament are. Yes, Tennessee played a tougher schedule. Yes, Tennessee has more "quality wins." And yes, Tennessee got its ass kicked by Kentucky twice. Hell, the Vols spent all of about three minutes...

I don't know what I'll do. I just started a new job around the new year and we haven't had snow since. I have no idea what the snow policy is, and I wasn't in the office Friday to find out. Of course, I wouldn't have asked anyway, since I didn't know it was supposed to snow til yesterday. Guess...

One forecast here says anywhere from 5-10 inches. The other channel says 2-4. Who knows.

Bring it on. Eight inches of snow won't be **** compared to what I dealt with while home in the Midwest last month.

"I saw my mate the other day He told me, he'd seen the white Pele So I asked, 'Who is he?' He goes by the name of Wayne Rooney Wayne Rooney, Wayne Rooney He goes by the name of Wayne Rooney' I love the player-centered songs.

Rammer Jammer is impressive. One of my favorites. Though I haven't seen any of them in person, I can't imagine anything beating the Euro soccer chants.

I think it's good. It humanizes the effects of war. There are people under those flags in those boxes. It's not insensitive to show their caskets draped by a flag -- they signed up willing to make the ultimate sacrifice, and they died with honor. No reason to hide that from people.

Buck, here's Lukas' ESPN Column: http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page2/story?page=lukas/090126&sportCat=mlb

Like I said, Buck, I worded it poorly and exaggerated. I realize that and I'm not going to argue myself into a corner here when I overstated everything and used an (admittedly) bad example as it refers to Moneyball. The example applies more to the way Henry said bunting was only good for giving...

From a brief summary of the book: "In Billy Beane’s system there are no stolen bases. Staying put is not just encouraged it is enforced. Systematic with Billy’s pragmatic approach there are 27 outs in a game, and there is no room for giving up outs on the diamond. Therefore, players on the A’s...

That's a very simplistic view. Contrary to what the Moneyball/sabermetrics people want to think, there are good situations to bunt. There are situations when a manager would be playing against logic if he doesn't bunt. Here's a situation for you: Let's say it's the bottom of the ninth inning...

Yeah, and a $100 million payroll. Moneyball is great in theory. But it's best applied in combination with some old school scouting. Both have their virtues. Plus, I'll never fully believe anything that says bunting isn't good baseball strategy.

As others have mentioned, if you're going to read Lewis, read "The Blind Side." Reading "Moneyball" is sort of like reading The Communist Manifesto -- it's a good read built on a solid theory that won't ever work once actually applied to the real world.

If he falls to the second round, every fan should switch allegiances. If he falls past the Raiders at seven I'll be shocked. He's exactly what they need and he's the best wide out in the draft. If he falls because he's not running a 40 at the combine, NFL Scouts are the most ridiculous group of...

Why doesn't this guy go ask all of the professors who are supposedly "educating" college kids if they're going to take pay cuts. Here's a hint for him: Don't look in the classrooms. Meanwhile, families will continually foot a larger bill every year as tuition rises, while the amount of...
