Big Ten Countdown: 35 - A Pig Trophy You Can't Eat And Other Amazing Facts
35 days left until Nebraska officially joins the Big Ten. Woohoo!!! What about the number 35? Well, we've been counting down through the years, and some of them are challenging. Not 35, though. There's a whole gob o' 35 available, but since we've been reeling through the years, we'll stick with...
Utes look to finally break through (after many, many, many tries the last two years)
It has not been an easy last two years for the Runnin' Utes. Every gain they've made has been met by regression and because of that, Jim Boylen has had a helluva time finding a solid footing to build a sustainable program here. Now Utah is once again working on a three game winning streak and...
Utes look to right sinking ship against equally bad Wyoming Cowboys
This is like the death march, which is fitting because the Huntsman Center has been a morgue all season. Tonight's latest installment in The Lost Season comes against the Wyoming Cowboys - who might actually be worse than Utah. The last time these two teams met, in Laramie, the Utes snapped their...
Next on the Chopping Block: Eastern Michigan
Four times this year, and, well, every year, NU plays an out-of-conference opponent. The question arises: who are these guys? Some people only want to know who they are in a football sense, but, to truly understand our opponents on the gridiron, you have to know where they come from, so football...
SEC 2009 // The Lexington Ledger
This is simply an overview of each of the season's games; predictions come Thursday. 9.5 :: vs. Miami (Ohio) (Cincinnati)The Redhawks haven't had a BCS-buster type team since Ben Roethlisberger left after 2003. From there, it was pretty much downhill. There's really no reason to think they'll put...
Cubs Outscore Entire Road Trip, Lose To Pirates Anyway, 10-8
All the on-field personnel last night, including the umpires, wore red caps with the team logos in stars-and-stripes. This was done to honor those who have served and are serving our country on Memorial Day. It had the effect of making all teams look like the Nationals, and the Cubs decided to...
Lee Homers, But Cubs Lose Again 3-1. Good News: Randy Wells Is For Real
I'm sure you've had enough of talking about the Cubs' nonexistent offense, and when I say "nonexistent", it's almost gotten to an existential plane: the Cubs were wearing rally caps in the dugout in the second inning when Derrek Lee hit a 420-foot home run to give the Cubs their first lead since...
Maybe San Diego Will Wake Up The Cubs Bats; Offense Again Asleep In 3-1 Loss To Cardinals
The Cubs really, really, really, really miss Aramis Ramirez. It's kind of an insidious slide. It wasn't noticed too much during the five-game winning streak a week ago -- but on the other hand, might they have won the game against the Astros last Sunday with Aramis in the lineup and at third...
Return Of The Walking Wounded: Cubs vs. Diamondbacks, Tuesday 4/28, 8:40 CT
Milton Bradley will be back tonight -- and hopefully for more than one game before he goes out again. Aramis Ramirez won't start but hopefully will be available to PH (see the full lineup below), and Carlos Marmol will be available for setup duty. I promised this at 6 pm CDT; it's up a little...
How To Play With A 22-Man Roster: Cubs vs. Cardinals, Sunday 4/26, 1:15 CT
The Cardinals have started their home season 10-2 -- their best home start since 1968, when they started 10-1 at home and won the NL pennant. Enough of that. Bruce Miles mentioned possible replacements if the Cubs have to DL anyone, especially important given the fact that Aramis Ramirez,...
