QUOTE (fathom @ Mar 29, 2012 -> 11:09 AM) They were never going to not put Volstad in the rotation and look like they gave up Zambrano for nothing. Good point, but I think spring training performance played a large part in it too. Wood was absolutely awful, I think his ERA was in the 16-17 range.

Travis Wood & Randy Wells to the rotation in Des Moines.

Illinois Basketball ‏ @IlliniHoops It's official - we will have a press conference at 1 pm CT at @Assembly_Hall to introduce our new #Illini men's basketball coach.

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Mar 23, 2012 -> 10:45 AM) Dan McNeil has been off the air for a while due to health and wellness reasons. Has anyone ever said why he is on leave? Mac just posted on the sports radio blog that he will be back on the air Monday April 9, and will then let everyone know why he was gone.

QUOTE (MAX @ Mar 28, 2012 -> 10:48 PM) In people's republic of China, article reads you. Haha. This post made it worth the time to open a Cowley related thread.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Mar 29, 2012 -> 08:09 AM) jon greenberg ‏ @espnchijon John Groce has one Ohio assistant with Chicago ties. Ramon Williams was an assistant at DePaul for four years. DePaul? Is that a good thing? Ohio was a better basketball team than DePaul.

f*** it, I'm on board. Take us to the promise land Grocer. (Or at least back to the tournament every year.)

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Mar 28, 2012 -> 09:22 PM) Bears signed WR Devin Thomas tonight to a 1 year deal. Former 2nd round pick out of Michigan State. Another quality special teamer who could give some depth at WR. Essentially, he's Sam Hurd's replacement. Don't mention his name around the 49ers fans. He recovered little Kenny's fumbles.

QUOTE (Brian @ Mar 29, 2012 -> 03:57 AM) I'm too distraught to talk about it right now. Too soon. That could not have played out any worse, ugh.

It finally just clicked in my head that the Final Four will be played in the Superdome. I understand the need to sell as many tickets as possible, but these huge football domes just seem like awful basketball venues, for players & fans alike.

QUOTE (Brian @ Mar 28, 2012 -> 05:34 PM) Jerrance is what? 28? 29? If Illinois fans want to keep saying he is too young, he will go somewhere else and get a head coach job. Probably at a mid major, and than Illinois will lose him for good, most likely. He has been an assistant for 5 years at Illinois, plus 2 before that elsewhere. I don't think it would be an awful idea to give him the job. How old was Brad Stevens when he took over at Butler? There are oung coaches everywhere now, even in the NBA. I'd rather not lose Jerrance for John Groce, that's for sure.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Mar 28, 2012 -> 06:19 PM) So he's a great basketball mind and a great recruiter, how come no other schools are interviewing him for a head job? I think his popularity is back up QB syndrome. Why did Weber get fired? Coaching? Recruiting? First his recruiting sucked. Then once he got that turned around, his coaching suddenly went to s***. .

QUOTE (Brian @ Mar 28, 2012 -> 02:48 PM) It's a 3 game series Just a two-game series, Wednesday & Thurday. Mariners play more spring training games from Saturday 3/31 to April 4, then two regular season games in Oakland Friday 4/06 & 4/07.

QUOTE (fathom @ Mar 28, 2012 -> 10:39 AM) - Morel is hitting in the 3rd spot by June - Paul Konerko steals two bases this year - Adam Dunn hits the longest home run in the history of the Cell - Hector Santiago is our closer from day 1 and keeps the job - AJ finishes the year catching for the Marlins - A key White Sox players suffers a season-ending injury before end of May - Robin Ventura doesn't manage the 2013 White Sox - Gordon Beckham is traded at the deadline - K. Fukudome is our most reliable outfielder at the plate/in the field Resignation or firing?

Interesting article about Augusta. The CEO of IBM has always become a member at Augusta. Now the 9th CEO in company history is a woman. Of course, Augusta doesn't have any woman members. http://sports.yahoo.com/golf/pga/news?slug...rs-women-032812?

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Mar 28, 2012 -> 12:09 PM) So much for the theory throughout the offseason that Cespedes wouldn't be on a major league roster (at least a contending team's) until July or August at the earliest. Will be interesting to see how long it takes the pitchers to make adjustments to him and develop a scouting report. Can the A's roster of position players really be considered a "major league" roster?

In 16 games played this season, Sidney Crosby has 25 points and a +15 rating.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Mar 28, 2012 -> 12:02 PM) Not true they announced woman's coach. Have you seen his record at UWGB? Maybe they should hire him as men's coach?

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Mar 28, 2012 -> 11:30 AM) So it'll be 4 out of 6 years. That's cool. Thanks. It won't be him though this year. Currently the 4th starter is slotted to pitch the 20th, so that would be Sale.

QUOTE (SOXOBAMA @ Mar 28, 2012 -> 10:52 AM) 49ers sign Brandon Jacobs today.. Another RB signed? Matt Forte is not gonna be happy...

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Mar 28, 2012 -> 11:20 AM) I understand what dank is, but the post I replied to seemed to be saying that he also seriously pitched almost every April 20th. That would have been really cool, but I hadn't heard anything like it before. I was just as confused as you. I did look it up, and he did start on 4/20 in 2007, 2008, & 2010.

There are 176 million possible combinations. The cash payout will pay $341 million. A ticket costs $1. That could be the easiest $165 million you will ever make.

QUOTE (farmteam @ Mar 27, 2012 -> 11:05 PM) I'm betting the Illini fanbase would LOVE Pearl or Sampson as their head coach. Those two don't even compare. Bruce Pearl is #1 on the Never Coach Illinois list and there isn't a second place.

I don't really like any of the 4 teams, but this has the makings of a great Final 4. You have the UK/Louisville rivalry, OSU/Kansas should be a great matchup.
