    AKRON ZIPS Looking back at 2004 After a dismal 0-3 start to the season, including a 31-24 home loss to Middle Tennessee State and a 51-0 pounding at the hands of Virginia on the road, the Zips rallied to win 6 of their last 8 to finish 6-5 and put themselves in position to play in a bowl...

    feel like carpenter today..

    the exorbitant price is enough reason for me to lay off. the cardinals are the most overpriced team in baseball, and thats enough for me to steer clear. win or lose, do you really think the cards are playing well enough to justify 2-1 chalk? the white sox were barely more than 8/5 favs in...

    2005 mac football previews ........

    Looking at the Central Michigan defense To the surprise of nobody, the focus during the offseason has been fixing the defense as much as possible. Central Michigan was near the bottom of the NCAA (107 out of 117) in pass defense last season, allowing 261 yards per game. Some of that can be...

    2005 mac football previews ........

    Eastern Michigan Central Michigan ( in 4OT ) Kent Smith had a career day and the Central Michigan offense keep scoring and scoring. The defense, unfortunately, let them down in a big way. Three times late in the game (the final minutes of regulation, and then twice in overtime), the Chips...

    Kent State football preview ........

    Kent State summary This is a team that has a lot of question marks on the offensive side of the ball but relatively few question marks on the defense side of it. Offensively, a lot of the burden is on Michael Machen to step in and prove himself to be a bona fide MAC quarterback after having...

    Kent State football preview ........

    Looking at the Kent State defense With all the question marks and inexperience surrounding the Kent State offense, it's safe to say that the defense is going to play a large role in the outcome of the Flashes 2005 season. Seven starters return from the MAC's #1 overall defense last season...

    Kent State football preview ........

    Looking at the Kent State offense The Flashes have huge question marks at quarterback and running back as they head into 2005. Trying to find someone to replace Josh Cribbs is tough enough, but the task is considerably more daunting for KSU because the two quarterbacks who are 1 and 2 on...

    Kent State football preview ........

    Looking back at 2004 The Doug Martin era at Kent State got off to a less than spectacular start to say the least. After receiving his promotion from offensive coordinator in 2003 to head coach in 2004, the Flashes promptly went out and lost 6 of their first 7 games (with the lone victory...

    Haven't been around as much for obvious reasons but still want to contribute as much as possible. Hopefully these will be of benefit to some guys. I'll post each team here as soon as I can get them up each day. Sorry in advance if the formatting is a little screwy.

    gonna take a super human effort from prior to last past 5 or 6 innings at most with that pitch count.

    overnight play: houston/pittsburgh wednesday afternoon....

    throwing a pretty good chunk on the under 8 (+105) weird scheduling for this one. early 12:35pm start coming on the heels of a twi-night double header on tuesday evening, so 3rd game in less than 24 hours for both teams. fogg got smacked around last time out, but prior to that, he had 3 good...

    Super Agent?

    his autobiography happens to be one of my favorite sports books of all-time. the guy is brash and comes across as an as.shole at times, but he is one of the most passionate and driven people youre ever gonna see. some agents just sit back and collect their 3 or 4% or whatever, but this guy just...

    soriano is an idiot ! i would bench him.

    while i agree in principle with what youre saying, what has soriano done to be labeled a "thug"? it seems that has become a ubiquitous put down for any professional athlete on message boards. i dont see him beating any broads or causing any trouble in the clubhouse. unfortunately, rare is the...

    Matchups set for loaded Maui Invitational

    rrc: its goin well, thanks. definitely been putting some long hours in to offer the best 'product' possible. im really looking forward to the season. no matter what scott says, this year is really wide open. usc will have the same bullseye miami had on their back after their 2 dominant years in...

    Matchups set for loaded Maui Invitational

    i think its a bit of s stretch to say that msu is depleted. theyre bringing back 3 of their top 4 scorers from last year, and brown had a strong finish to the season and is becoming a star. illinois lost a helluva lot more than msu this offseason (although they were saved by their own brown now...

    Jacks on break and just called

    :sadwave: that sucks. one of the few guys id actually like to see make the final table. love the way he plays. as for the 2/3 issue. i know where penguinfan is coming from. but if you can get in for cheap, i dont think its necessarily an awful play to see the flop. now if youre gonna keep...

    Why are the O's dogs today???

    roy oswalt is 10-7. andy pettite is 4-7 with a 3.25 era. are these guys not good pitchers all the sudden? of course the team W/L is what ultimately counts, but to ignore run support would be foolish. as i said earlier with westbrook, he lost the season opener 1-0. and lost another 8.1 inning...

    Why are the O's dogs today???

    following the indians the way i do, i really think westbrook is the best pitcher on their staff, especially from a betting perspective. that might sound preposterous given his 1st half record, but im sure there are some other indians fans who would likely agree too. sabathia is the one who...

    rasheed wallace

    considering that larry brown is about the only coach rasheed wallace has shown respect for, id say that in itself is enough to give brown some praise. not to mention coaching a team to a title that was an 9-1 underdog against the lakers last year. and doing it in dominating fashion. youre...
