I, like millions of his fans have a lot of respect for him.

In my eyes his right up there @ the number 1 spot & i have a lot of statistical data to prove that.

You jst look at his stats & he beats all of his opponents in the key departments. His has performed in all countries,on all types of pitches & against all great batsmen of his time.

I know M.Marshall,Fred Trueman & Joel Garner had a slightly better average but then again they all stopped at 250-300+ wickets while 'Mr.Pigeon' - Glenn McGrath went on to take '563' wickets leaving these 3 far behind.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In ODI's also he has the better average among the top 10 wicket takers.

Bottomline - If you very carefully examine the bowling stats of top 20 bowlers ever in both test cricket & odi cricket , you will conclude that this guy 'Glennn McGrath' beats others in most of the categories.

I give fast bowlers some extra credit because they have to put in a hell lot of efforts to be successful

Look at Ohio State's football schedule.
They don't have that difficult of a schedule.

Should they play in the championship game if they go undefeated or should a 1 loss team get to play?

Check out the article

http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/columns/story?columnist=smith_sam&id=1895719

"Scottie Pippen enabled Michael Jordan to be a champion."

"All Jordan, you say. Anyone playing the Robin role would have tallied enough to make the record books with Jordan dragging him and everyone else along to his own destiny.

Or perhaps not.

And it's not just the championships, which Pippen didn't win without Jordan. Though Pippen came a lot closer without Jordan than Jordan did without Pippen."


Thoughts? comments?

Well my question is although we do platform and diving drills everyday she is not improving. How can i help herr so we dont lose our next game.

I grew up watching the American League, so im very familiar with the likes of Jeter, A-rod, Tejada, and Ripken. Year and and Year out, Omar beat them out for the Golden Glove award. Omar even has comparable OBP and batting average as Cal Ripken, though all the other numbers are very different with Omar being the Craftier hitter and Cal being a more of a power/RBI hitter.......... So being a dominent short stop defensively and a solid hitter i put him in contention for HOF.... THEN... I wish i could have seen Ozzie play more, because i am always comparing every possible statistic, and Omar has far better defensive statistics and better offensive statistics than ozzie, who is a hall of famer. I know more goes into defense than Statistics, but they obviously show that he was in the same league as Ozzie, and a better offensive player than ozzie (other than he had a fewer steals). I think omar deserves to be in the hall of fame... do you?

Which team do you think has the best shot to win the Big 10 Conference this year ? Whatever your answer is, why ?

Do you think it's possible for the conference to have co-champions this year ? Big 10 is set up to allow co-champions.

OSU has a legitimate shot of making the National Title game if they win out. They play nobody this year....Akron, Youngstown State, Kent State. No disrespect to those programs but does OSU really deserve a shot? I'm an Illinois alum and would like for them to have a shot once in a while but they wont anytime soon, not with this system. Unfortunately SEC teams have to beat up on each other all year long and wont make it in because they have a couple losses. Let a 19th ranked Auburn play them with a tournament system and they will get EMBARRASSED....AGAIN just like last year, when they had their 7 future draft picks.
