Pryor is the big prize, but it's almost a joke at this point. U-M will survive if they don't get him. Notre Dame proved they are still Notre Dame. They have playing time early to sell kids, and all that tradition and exposure. The recruits bought it.

I mean the hitter leading the Tigers this season will have to have at least .340 average - or so it seems. That is amazing to me. I couldn't agree with you more about Hockey Night in Canada. It is my all-time favorite TV program - by far.<BR/>CaputoPat Caputohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05102662407927366439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29764383.post-45961169615494467792008-02-11T09:05:00.000-05:002008-02-11T09:05:00.000-05:00Maddodg52,San Antonio remains the team to beat.

Trading Roy Williams would make no sense to me unless the Lions were to get at least as good a player back in return - and those type of trades just don't happen in the NFL anymore.<BR/>CaputoPat Caputohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05102662407927366439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29764383.post-949727008510243102008-02-10T10:44:00.000-05:002008-02-10T10:44:00.000-05:00Pat wrote: I just want to see a baseball game, to ...Pat wrote: I just want to see a baseball game, to be truthful.<BR/><BR/>Amen, Pat.<BR/><BR/>Cheers,<BR/>DannyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29764383.post-44066814609756715562008-02-08T16:40:00.000-05:002008-02-08T16:40:00.000-05:00Pat,For the first time that I know of, Hockey Day ...Pat,<BR/><BR/>For the first time that I know of, Hockey Day in Canada triple header will feature games with American teams - Detroit vs. Toronto, and Colorado vs. Vancouver. I'm not sure why they're doing that but I'm glad. Every chance I get to see Detroit vs. original 6 (especially the Leafs) is welcome. It's a thrill to watch. <BR/><BR/>Thanks,<BR/><BR/>TimAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29764383.post-63335036345822173032008-02-08T13:38:00.000-05:002008-02-08T13:38:00.000-05:00Book,I was wondering what your thoughts are on Nat...Book,<BR/><BR/>I was wondering what your thoughts are on National Signing Day. I really think Rich Rod has put the program in a bad place regarding his first QB. As Michael Rosenberg wrote in the Free Press, he could have kept Mallett in the fold but it seemed he wanted to get rid of him and get Pryor. I don't think Michigan is the leader right now for Pryor, they've put all their eggs in one Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01796734473309375717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29764383.post-83475100816299978932008-02-08T13:11:00.000-05:002008-02-08T13:11:00.000-05:00Hey Pat: Good question who will be the Tigers best...Hey Pat: Good question who will be the Tigers best hitter, I will go with Cabrera. Isn't it amazing though, Maggs hit over 400 against lefties. This has to be the Tigers best line-up ever. If your a lefty, you would want to call in sick. I guess is not a big deal if Granderson plays against the average lefties with such firepower from the right side. I do not understand why teams are not Barryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05922015140899150083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29764383.post-38055109302775437482008-02-08T11:51:00.000-05:002008-02-08T11:51:00.000-05:00Book – I agree bang on with you about Shaq – you s...Book – I agree bang on with you about Shaq – you said it right. I don’t see how they will make Nash and the Suns wait for Shaq. I guess it’s about putting butts in seats – and I guess Shaq will draw a crowd. <BR/><BR/>Hell, Shaq is a crowd.<BR/><BR/>Pass on the Clemens thing – it’s sad and means nothing – except disgrace for the Rocket.

THe Heat have a nice core to build around now with Wade and Marion. THey are probably going to get a top 5 pick. Even if Marion leaves they will have freed up enough cap space to get just about anyone they want on the market. As far as Diesel goes. I just don't see it. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
