Is Bowling Green suppose to be better than I thought? Iowa -39 over Ball St. Michigan -18 over Northern Illinois Penn St. -22 over South Florida USC -35 over Hawaii Pittsburgh -3 over Notre Dame...This should be a good game.

SIU newspaper hoax
QUOTE(kyyle23 @ Aug 31, 2005 -> 01:17 PM) I did it. We used to call it the "Spelling hour of power", because we would watch "Beverly Hills 90210" and "Melrose Place" as our timer. the 100th minute would always be the 2nd commercial break of "Melrose Place", thats how we knew we were done. the first time I did it, i was the only one of 5 to finish. Of course, I was done at 10:30 PM, but it was fun. Ah ha. Me and a few guys always watched 90210 together. We never told anyone cuz we thought we were the only ones. When you only have like 15 channels in the dorms, it's tough finding good entertainment.

QUOTE(The Ginger Kid @ Aug 31, 2005 -> 02:00 PM) If only Pollite had started the inning... Don't think anyone can argue El Duque starting the inning, he was pitching well. But nobody got up when Young hit his HR.

SIU newspaper hoax
Any Saluki's ever try to make the Century club? One shot of beer every minute for 100 minutes? If you puke, you're eliminated. About 10 of us tried it one Friday night. I only had it a tad over a half hour. Weak stomach, do I have.

QUOTE(Misplaced_Sox @ Aug 31, 2005 -> 01:04 PM) Cy Lohe.... and his stuff is very vanilla Very tall with a unique arm angle. Probably hard to see the ball sometimes. And if by vanilla you mean his slider drops off a table, than yes.

SIU newspaper hoax
QUOTE(kyyle23 @ Aug 31, 2005 -> 09:07 AM) I miss the place. it has its own mystique. I miss working at Quatros, the free food was worth the s***ty ass tips. I really am gonna miss watching SIU elevate their sports programs. It was the best 7 years i spent wandering aimlessly. Quatro's was awesome. Except you couldn't put it in the fridge for the next day cuz the crust just got TOO hard. But I still managed. Basketball was coming around when I was there. They made the NIT my senior year, than year after...Sweet 16. Football was atrocious. Losing 52-50 it seemed every game. Awesome offense and no defense. Coach Kill has turned it around big time. Gatsby's had a deal on Sunday's, pool for $1/hour. Every Sunday for a semester, me and two buddies went there from like noon til 5pm playing pool.

QUOTE(redandwhite @ Aug 30, 2005 -> 06:51 PM) Real Sports? You guys do know there was a great steroids piece on HBO. Steff, I'll pm you the link asap because I know your interested. You set me up.. I think it is under the On Demand option if you have digital cable under HBO On Demand. That is how I keep up to date with Cathouse...I mean Entourage. Entourage season finale next week looks like it should be good. This past week set up a lot of stuff.

According to Bruuuce Levine
QUOTE(SoxFan562004 @ Aug 30, 2005 -> 05:37 PM) IMO, if KW doesn't upgrade the offense by 9/1 he has failed this season. He counted on Frank being a midseason type move, when he went down that went away and he did nothing... Nobody really upgrade at the dealines, so something is up or down with the market. But I'm with you. It is one thing to redo the team in the offseason in a positive way like he did, but in a long season you have to add pieces and he did not do that.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 30, 2005 -> 05:35 PM) The exciting thing is that we're going to have another Sunday lineup in for this next game. I'll bet that the Rangers play their 4 core players (all of which are better than any of our hitters). Yep, I bet Ozzie won't play Pods 2 games in one day. Widger definetly in. Probably Timo leading off.
