I am predicting a West Aurora vs. Simeon final. I believe that first half of the bracket is rather weak and West Aurora should make it out of it rather easy but Schaumburg is playing well now and after all the controversy of them getting a #1 seed. All the games in the bottom bracket should be good ones. I love this weekend. AA tourney and NCAA kicking it off. I'm in heaven and I don't have to work.

QUOTE(danman31 @ Mar 15, 2006 -> 04:14 AM) He got injured during his senior year and if I remember right he was never the same after. Oddly enough he got hurt against GBN. I remember Hogan cuz I played against him in high school. Such a waste of talent. I don't think he got hurt until he went to Kentucky than ended up transfering to Iowa. But could be wrong.

Also, AllState Arena is just too big for a super sectional. It was too spacy to get a high school feel. Go back to Loyola or Northwestern.

Believe me when I say, this wasn't the Warren team that I saw all year. Missing open shots, missing layups, missing free throws. Very frustrating to watch.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Mar 14, 2006 -> 01:24 AM) Btw Brian, I think the reason Warren gets no respect is that they are so damned short and play almost a 5 guard lineup. But I will say this right now, Warren is going to beat GBN tomorrow and people shouldn't be as shocked as I think they'll be. You sound like you know about Warren. Kind of surprised cuz they don't get a lot of recognition in the big papers. You're right about the height. Warren has a 6'1 forward in Mitchell Moore, who guards all the centers and he just pushes em around. He is very strong and athletic and will probably contain Zack Kelly for th most part. He is alos playing football and Iowa State next year. Bembry will probably be on Scheyer. Bembry will be able to stay in front of him, but not sure if he is tall enough to contest a lot of his shots. I'm hoping he will. All the things writers and people knock the Blue Devils for, they over come. The best junior you may not have heard of in the state is Ceola Clark. Does a great job moving without the ball and if he isolated, does a great job creating space and knocking down mid rang jumpers. That will be a mis match for GBN tonight. GO BIG BLUE!

Oden and Conley will be the best freshmen in the nation next season.

Thornwood upsets Homewood-Flossmor in 3OT, 40-38. At the UIC. Simeon sent Brian Carlwell and Proviso East home in the 2nd game, 67-57. Both team advance down state.

QUOTE(fathom @ Mar 13, 2006 -> 08:15 PM) Um....I think GBN is the big time favorite as of right now. I wouldn't call them a big time favorite. Warren will give em a run tomorrow night. Simeon, West Aurora (who will probably romp Lockport tomorrow), and GBN are evenly favorites. I've followed Warren all year and I think it is hilarious how nobody gives em a chance, yet nobody has really seen em cuz they are way up here in Lake County.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Mar 12, 2006 -> 12:44 AM) Rowand44 isn't nearly that funny. Oh, i know. Just looks like him.

The dude that hung himself, he was just written on the show this episode, right? I don't remember seeing him before. Nice editing, "When am I ever gonna catch a break." Than the old rat dies i n the FBI ladies car.

Holy cow, ARod comes through. USA beats Japan, 4-3

JR K's, AROD up with a chance to win it.

Bags loaded, 1 out, bottom of 9, Griffey up, tie game. Thank God it isn't ARod.

Thought for sure Lidge was gonna lose it and keep his suck ass streak alive.

Says you can't get in until Monday, but I bet it is open sooner.

Just a reminder to go fill them brackets out, si I can prove how much smarter I am than everyone....is there a sticking a foot in mouth smiley?

MarlinFan, with all due respect, you are being ridiculous and nobody is going to take you seriously with your biasness against Redick.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Mar 12, 2006 -> 01:35 AM) I'm probably an ass, but that was hillarious. Hell no, I was rolling watching it over and over again.

Kent State likes to cause upsets in the Big Dance.

Undefeated Seneca up tied with IVC with 3 mins left in A State Title Game. Would be the first single A team to go undefeated and win state in almost 40 years they said.

Watch the kid run at the bottom of the screen

Now El Fin, Syracuse wins Big East tourney. Wow! Now watch them lose the first game next week.

El Fin ...maybe a tad premature. Cuse up 3 with 17 secs left

QUOTE(Gene Honda Civic @ Mar 10, 2006 -> 03:14 PM) I feel so out of touch. I don't have a myspace, or a friendster, or a facebooker... I didn't know Rowand44 worked on the Daily Show.

Flip the "I" and the "S" and you have a real university.
