Puckathon Draft Day Complete! Fun Time Pontifications Here

I'm pleased by my draft. I was able to fill my roster with targeted players from top to bottom, although I also saw plenty of players I really wanted fall away.

"It was horrifying"

Do you watch/listen to Cubs games on a regular basis? She's well within a standard deviation of performance quality. I've heard much worse and it's not that often that you hear better.

A Radical 'Radial' Solution:

Besides which, MLB could just raise the mound or do something else to mitigate the batters' new advantage.

The MLB Trade Deadline is Looming.

I'm rooting to see Fuentes and Street get dealt for the benefit of my fantasy team. I'm already satisfied with the move by the Cubs that got them Harden and Gaudin. I'm hearing that they're shopping for another lefty hitter, which makes me wonder if Edmonds is hurting more than has been let on. Otherwise, I don't see the need.

Leitch: Why Mark Cuban Won't Get the Cubs

There wasn't anything to the linked article except bloviating. Leitch may not be wrong that the current owners won't let Cuban play in their reindeer games, but he didn't make any sort of case for it.

Notre Dame makes history

They like to play certain teams every year (U of M, MSU, Navy, USC) and playing in a conference wouldn't allow that. Oh wouldn't it? USC, MSU & UofM get to play Notre Dame don't they? And the Big Ten had been in negotiations with ND to admit them to the Big Ten, which would have taken care of MSU and UofM. There's four non-conf games available now, so USC, Navy are not a problem. You could probably add Boston College in there too if you really wanted. What I don't understand is why any ND fans would rather see ND stay independent. It'd be better for the team and fans if they dumped their BCS priveleges and joined a conference. They'd end up in better bowl matchups and would probably improve the quality of their football too, not only ending their streak of futility by winning a lower tier bowl, but also improving such that they might actually earn a higher tier bowl shot that they would actually have a chance of winning.

Spartans Complete Greatest Comeback Ever.

Ugh. It's not much fun being a NW fan this year. Glad to see Bacher get in and do something though. Brewer had just been spinning his wheels. Speculation is that Fitz is going to have to clean house and get a new set of asst. coachs to replace the ones he got saddled with this year. The offensive coordinator has no experience in the position and would have had Walker as a mentor, but Fitz was a defensive coach and has plenty of learning to do on his own. NW definitely needs a more experienced OC. And don't even get me started on how rotten Greg Colby has been as the DC for the last few years. This year he's gotten the defense to barely adequate, which would have been great if we still had the offense we did last year with Walker's hand on it and Baz as QB.
