  1. Hey, they have the best QB in the NFL so that should be something. If he's half as good as Cassel was bad, I'll take it. I mean it can't get any worse than it was last year. Big key is to keep Charles healthy.
  2. It takes your hands out of the stroke, no flip or twitch or hit impulse. Think of holding a little pencil in your fingers, and then think of holding a 2 X 4 in your hands. It is much harder to manipulate and twist the 2 X 4. It allows your hands to be more stable and still. So it sounds like this would be a wise investment if putting is something you struggle with? It could be depending on what you struggle with. It is great for people who have that hit impulse and struggle with inconsistent speed or too much hands in the stroke. If your problem is reading greens or aiming, it won't helped. Reading greens is learned. Most of the time, alignment and aiming has to do with eye dominance and the style of putter; depending on head/hosel shapes, people's aim can drastically vary. Alright well I'm not exactly sure what I struggle with putting wise as I've never taken a golf lesson in my life and have just learned things on my own. I do know though that i very rarely make anything outside of 10 ft. Sounds like I just need to play a few rounds and you could help me out at half the cost as a teaching pro.

  4. Sorry to bring a thread back from the dead but I have been looking into getting one of those SuperSaver putter grips that both Dufner and Furyk used as well as many other players on tour. Can anyone tell me exactly what those do for you and how they help improve your putting?
  5. You can check out Jackson Reetz and Monte Harrison on MLB Network right now. Perfect Game All Star game is on

  6. Lets see how he does when they take away his belly putter in a couple years. One of the best iron hitters on tour, but can get into trouble on the greens. I don't think some people understand how big of an advantage it is to have a belly putter.
  7. Was just watching the early episode of Baseball Tonight and right now Cody has the top web gem for the day. Made a nice little diving stop and throw from foul territory
  8. Actually pitched against Diekman in high school during summer legion ball. His team beat ours 3-2. But yes he was the true definition of a scatter cannon. And good to see Cody get the call up. Rather quick trip up through the ranks.
  9. Not sure he qualifies but I think in order for our D to be any good at all Ankrah needs to have a big year. We have seen flashes time for him to put a full year together. Offensively I'm going to go with Cethan Carter. Yes he hasn't played a down but seeing what Taylor said about him makes me think he might have a solid year and become a nice red-zone target for us this year.
  10. If it is assured that she is working sign me up
  11. Watching the Reetz kid in our local legion districts...kid has a cannon

  12. I'm not sure UCLA had that sophisticated of a game plan. It seemed like half their yards were passes to RBs or TEs in the flat where we had no one home and they ran forever. Credit to them for finding something that worked and sticking with it but shame on us for not adjusting. Could not agree more. It seriously seemed like they ran 5-6 different plays the whole game. Obviously this isn't the case but it sure seemed that way. That Franklin/Compton mismatch they found was a huge advantage for them. With Franklin both players being gone i think this RB/LB matchup is more evenly matched for that game. Not a knock on Compton either but we should. have more speed at LB this year to help defend those plays.
  13. Huge yankee hater but i will miss the days of watching Mo dominate hitters with one pitch..best closer ever

      He is a 1st ballot Hall of Famer, I was lucky enough to be there for his 600th save against the Twins...

    2. wiuhusker

      wiuhusker

      Lucky you. No doubt he goes in first ballot

  14. I'm thinking alvarez or harper takes this derby

  15. Inconceivable. not really. Ray Allen's 3 pointer kept the Heat in the Finals. T-mart's play was another play to where we got our asses handed to us by Wisconsin. I see what you are saying with Ray's 3 pt shot. I just think that Taylor's run was by far the better play. No way Martinez was winning this vote though.
  16. I have always enjoyed playing the Madden series. Gameplay to me on this game is so far advanced compared to NCAA its not even close.
  17. Lots of big names at the top though. I think a lot of these guys were spending most of their round still trying to figure out how to attack the greens. It is so tough to come in soft enough to stay on when you have to it it 40 yards uphill to reach the green. Was lucky enough to attend the 1st round today. I can't tell you how many times i saw a ball hit pin high today and take 1-2 big hops and land behind the green off the rough. You almost had to land the ball short but doing that means there is no roll as all the approach shots are into elevated greens.
  18. Omaha Country Club is an absolutely beautiful course...and very challenging to walk..feel for the caddies this week

    1. NUance

      NUance

      True. But the caddies aren't necessarily seniors.

    2. wiuhusker

      wiuhusker

      no they aren't seniors but that thing would be challenging for anyone

    3. NUance

      NUance

      Yeah, I couldn't do it. When I walk a round I pull 3 or 4 clubs out and play with a partial set. Even though I have an ultra lightweight bag for walking. lol

  19. Man that course would be a "fun" one to play. Are there any other courses in the western part of the state that even compare to it?
  20. Bill Simmons is going to have an on air meltdown! He is pissed. Not exactly sure what the Celtics were thinking here. Obviously you want to unload the contracts and get younger but they didn't get much in return. Reggie evans and Gerald Wallace??? There had to be a better deal out there
  21. This crap was awful. Thought the school I went to was the only place that sold it but apparently not. Funny story about this beer is that buddies of mine would get together in teams of 2 and have a golf scramble with the stipulation that your 30 pack of Beer 30 be gone by the time the 18th hole was finished. Team with the lowest score was provided another 30 for weekend festivities. My beer of choice however was either bud light, busch light or keystone.
  22. And just like that he is no longer a Patriot
  23. Not only that, they already have a great young backcourt with Kyrie and Dion Waiters. Cavs are pretty set at the guard spot for a while with kyrie and waiters. What makes this pick interesting is that the Cavs have drafter Tyler Zeller and Tristan Thompson the last couple years. Also Varajeo was having by far his best year ever before he got injured. Will be interesting to see who goes #1 as Len is very comparable to Zeller with Zeller being more athletic by far. Noel may be the pick based on upside alone. Kid is very raw
  24. The refs are letting Bosh mug Duncan in the post...this is unreal
  25. I don't think anyone could have expected our offense to keep up with OSU and Wisc in the CCG with the way they were scoring. Both of those games fall completely on the defense no questions asked.
