Absolutely. While HanRam is a more potent offensive weapon, Tulo is very good, especially at a position with relatively little offensive talent. Tulo's defense and leadership qualities are far above Hanley's level however...The only reason anyone would rank Hanley over Tulo is because the Colorado market is smaller, and Hanley gets himself in the news more.

I wouldn't say underrated...ask anyone in the game, and he's the best out there right now. Not even close, really, now that Jeter is obviously regressing. While I agree his power numbers are boosted thanks to Coors Field, he still is the backbone of a good team offensively, and plays a premiere defensive position as well as most.

Umm...that's what happened when the field hadn't been used for over a month in Minnesota weather. If they didn't heat Soldier Field or Lambeau, it would be rock hard too...And there were no problems playing on it even with that anyway...lots of hype from the media is all that there was.

Posted Saturday January 15, 2011, About: Worst BCS Conference CFB Coaching Job

Wow...Minnesota? Really? I honestly find it hard to believe you picked the Gophers. You're talking about a team that first of all wasn't even the worst team in the Big Ten last year, despite firing their coach mid-season...You rip their tradition, and yes, I agree those titles were a long time ago. And yet, at least they have one...I can probably find two dozen teams in BCS conferences that would kill to have anything close to it. The school also has a commitment to the program, with the state of the art stadium they just built...And frankly, while they haven't been great, they've been good. I'll take this if you wanted to re-do it...

Posted Thursday October 21, 2010, About: Redo-Fall Classic-Where should the Winter Classic go next?

Minnesota should get it...A matchup between the Wild and the Stars has loads of marketing potential. Plus, there are as many hockey fans in Minnesota as there are in the entire south, so filling up TCF Bank Stadium would be no problem.

Big East? No way does that happen...but the Big 12 is a possibility for TCU at least, and a longshot for the Boise.

Posted Tuesday September 28, 2010, About: major league baseball playoffs &boise state

Boise is full of themselves...They seem to think that they are above the traditions and stature of every other school out there but seem to dislike the idea of proving anything outside the Pacific Northwest...Not that I'd say they're pretenders, they just have massive egos.

And while I'm biased, I'll take the Twins in the WS over the Rays (I agree the Phillies have to be favorites).

Yea but in all actuality, Boise got absolutely outplayed until the last minutes. And they won't have another chance this year to show they can beat top talent.

Posted Thursday September 09, 2010, About: If Boise State goes undefeated, they deserve to play for the National Championship.

The SEC, Big Ten, Big 12 and Pac ten aren't better for their powerhouse teams, it's the depth of their mid-and-low level teams. I'd take the bottom of any of those conferences over the bottom of the WAC any day. So, even if they aren't battling powerhouses every week, the conference schedule for teams in those conferences is more challenging week in and week out. Boise, even if they are as good as any other team, has nothing else this year to prove it, while other teams do...Sorry, I'll take the team that proves its ability over Boise, who won't have to again this season.

Posted Friday September 03, 2010, About: Division X or Division O which is the toughest????

Wow...I would expect a Badger fan to appreciate the most played football rivalry in D-1. Even lately those games are intense....Even with Wisconsin the powerhouse and Minnesota the suckish, it's a consistantly great game. And, of course, Minnesota DOES lead the series all time. Just had to get that one in there...

Posted Friday September 03, 2010, About: Division X or Division O which is the toughest????

Frankly...Right wins this argument. It will be WAY tougher to win the O division. None of those teams are superpowers on a year in year out basis, but rarely are they pushovers either. Sure, teams like Minnesota are crap now, but don't forget that the game is cyclical...it wasn't long ago Marion Barber and Laurence Maroney were setting NCAA rushing records with Minnesota. None of the teams are constantly weak, unlike X

Posted Wednesday September 01, 2010, About: Could a High School Boys basketball team beat a WNBA team?

Maybe a good AAU team, but high schools just don't have the talent in their tiny areas to match the skill that WNBA players have. The talent is just too thin and uncontrollable in a high school setting. In AAU you can pick and choose your players. In high shool you have a group of kids and that's that.

Posted Wednesday September 01, 2010, About: Could a High School Boys basketball team beat a WNBA team?

Alright...So? Again, high school teams rarely have more than one (and sometimes 2) great players and a bunch of other average players at the high school level. For a team of older, more skilled women, it wouldn't be too hard to force that star to give the ball up and make the lesser players win the game...Which the WNBA players could destroy.

Posted Wednesday September 01, 2010, About: Could a High School Boys basketball team beat a WNBA team?

I could see an easy win by a super-talented NCAA team...One that has 3-4 NBA caliber players already could win with sheer athleticism. But again, high school is a big stretch.

Posted Wednesday September 01, 2010, About: Could a High School Boys basketball team beat a WNBA team?

I think you can argue college...But high school teams rarely have a ton of super-talented players, only just a few who can carry a team. WNBA teams can shut down 1 or two superstars. Not to mention they've had far longer to refine such skills as shooting/free throws, both of which are often neglected in high schools these days.

They had a winning record, and finished high in their conference (which is probably as deep as the pac-ten was...in other words, no great teams at all). Difference is, Stanford was a bottom feeder in a bottom feeder conference, while Marshall was at least a winner in a bottom feeder conference.
