Urban Meyer Joins the Whine Brigade

Count Urban Meyer in as the newest person to speak out about the BCS and the almighty being that is the SEC. While his comments weren't nearly as whiny in tone as Tommy Tuberville or Charlie Weis it is easy to read into what he is thinking. Louisville couldn't go through the SEC undefeated. Here's what we do know, the Gators are not undefeated. In fact if Meyer wanted to prove his squad was better than Louisville he could have scheduled a home and home matchup with the Cardinals which I'm sure they would have jumped at. In addition if your schedule is so tall and mighty why exactly are you facing Western Carolina, a 2-7 team in 1AA, ya that's right a team in the minors that gets beat down every weekend by poor competition.

Oh the respect I had for Florida throughout this whole season and I even have them ranked 3 in the Power Rankings and now Urban goes and compares his Utah squad with this years Louisville team. Why oh why did you bring that up Urban? First off that undefeated Utah played in the Mountain West and not the Big East. While the Big East isn't a superpower it is certainly better than Mountain West. Secondly Louisville did defeat Miami and the defending Sugar Bowl Champion who lost minimal talent and with a win tonight would have defeated two undefeated teams late in the season. And mostly it's a completely different scenerio being that there is no other undefeated team that is worthy to head to the title game where in comparison when Utah made its way to the Fiesta Bowl USC, Oklahoma and Auburn were all undefeated.

If Louisville runs the table they should be in the title game. Enough bickering win your games and if its meant to work out it will.

Yeah, but bickering is half the fun, especially when it comes to BCS. I was just on the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl site and figured I'd enter their contest to win tickets, so we'll see what happens. If Rutgers has a chance at winning, then so do I. (BTW Go Rutgers!)

Numbers On Steroids: Mickey Mantle

Numbers on Steroids is a look at baseball players during the 90s to see if anything screams out at you. This week it's throwing a curve ball and looking at All Time Great Yankees. Players that we know did not take steroids to see if this gives a defense to any of the players 'convicted' by Numbers on Steroids. Time to look at my dad's favorite athlete of all time, Mickey Mantle. Averages Say: What's with the mysterious dip at 27 and then the uptick? At Bats Per Home Run Says: That's a mighty jump from 22 to 24 Explaining As If It Was the 90s If you take a look at the numbers there are two time frames which in the 1990s would be questioned. First would be the incredible leap he took from his first year in the big leagues to his first MVP season in 1956. His batting average jumped 50 points. His slugging percentage jumped 90 points and he hit 15 more homers than his previous high. This wouldn't merrit a conviction nowadays though because the young age he...

Guest Post: Thoughts on Sabathia Signing

I asked Grutt what his thoughts were on the Sabathia signing and I thought his response pretty much nailed it. So here it is. I don’t know. Every year I get a little more disenchanted with baseball. Yea, it’s great we signed the top pitching free agent. But we were supposed to. No team was even in the ballpark of the Yankees offer yet they still needed to jump from the already ridiculous price of $140 million to $160 million to close the deal. Now I hear we are going to sign more pitchers who will also get large contracts and the position player gaps are still glaring. Each new, large contract just adds to the feeling that the Yanks are supposed to win it all. “I think we have a good chance this year.” That is a lost feeling. If they don’t win I’ll wonder why, like there has to be some other reason besides that it’s a sport you can never predict how things will work out and some years just aren’t yours to be won. If they win I will be pleasantly smug. It gets a little more...
