  1. i bet he feels as good as the time i put up 54 against the Lakers.
  2. As much noise as ticked has talked, even a close win for silsbee will make him look bad.
  3. The Atlanta Braves and pitcher Derek Lowe have reached preliminary agreement on a four-year, $60 million contract, baseball sources told ESPN.com. The deal is pending a physical exam, a source said. Braves general manager Frank Wren declined comment in an e-mail to ESPN.com. With their late push for Lowe, the Braves succeeded in beating out the New York Mets, the other principal suitor for Lowe. The Mets are expected to turn their attention to free agent left-handers Randy Wolf and Oliver Perez. One other possibility for the Mets is former Milwaukee Brewers ace Ben Sheets, whose price has dropped because of concerns about his health. Lowe, 35, has a career 126-107 record in 12 seasons with Seattle, Boston and the Los Angeles Dodgers. He's averaged 208 innings the past seven seasons, and consistently has one of the highest ground ball-to-fly ball ratios in the game. Lowe would join Javier Vazquez, Jair Jurrjens and Japanese pitcher Kenshin Kawakami in a new-look Atlanta rotation. Longtime Atlanta mainstay John Smoltz agreed to a deal with Boston late last week and right-hander Tim Hudson, who is recovering from elbow ligament-replacement surgery, might not be available until the second half of the season. It's also questionable whether Tom Glavine will return to the Braves in the aftermath of elbow and shoulder surgery. The Braves attempted to trade for Jake Peavy earlier this winter, and lost out to the New York Yankees in their bid to sign free agent A.J. Burnett. During the winter meetings, when it appeared that Lowe was looking for a five-year, $80 million deal, one Braves official said the club had "zero" interest in the pitcher. Although the Mets had given indications they were willing to increase the money on their three-year, $36 million offer to Lowe, management was never comfortable with the idea of extending its offer to four years.
  4. every time texas had a mini-run, OU was able to answer. the biggest difference in the game was the first 7-8 minutes. after that, as bad as they looked, the horns played OU pretty much even.
  5. they've completely fallen apart!
  6. As i was saying... a 3 for AJ, a dunk for james, and we're down 6 just a minute into the 2nd.
  7. If Abrams can hit a couple of big shots, and James comes in and gives his regular production, there's no reason that Texas can't get back in this... they played the last 10 minutes or so of the half +5, even with James on the bench!
  8. after two freethrows after the TV timeout, we're down 6... 4 points closer!
  9. 10 point game... if they can cut 4 points off between every TV timeout they'll be just fine.
  10. The "B" team, maybe...
  11. 30 minutes to tipoff! this should be a good one!
  12. what's milburn's record?
  13. pretty ridiculous if you ask me... the school has no problem sucking up the cash from ticket and concession sales, but won't pay for the kids' transportation?
  14. i think kat was saying that he was a good coach, unless i'm reading that wrong.
  15. some of you silsbee fans crack me up. at the beginning of the year, it was a "joke" because HJ had the worse record but was ranked higher. now HJ's schedule is "too easy" (despite a few common opponents and several games against ranked teams) which is why their record continues to improve while Silsbee's is dropping. it's irrelevant. i honestly can say i haven't seen any HJ fans on here criticizing the Silsbee program for dropping some games lately, but still several Silsbee fans have come up with excuses or justification for the losses. nobody blames you for losing to good opponents. quit worrying about trying to justify how Silsbee is better than HJ. they'll play in a few weeks, and if they win, you'll have all the proof you need.
  16. way to bring it home to SETX!
  17. okay, thanks... those are some good results from the JV against some teams that usually are deep enough to field strong JV's. If the varsity doesn't show some improvement this year, hopefully some JV guys can come up and make a difference.
