Shameless!

We're insanely undersized to begin with but with out him it was absurd. I'm thinking and hoping that we can stay out of Thursday if everyone stays healthy. This team definitely plays hard, which is obviously a very welcomed change from years past. Was saying the same thing to a fellow Saluki alum at gym this morning. Scares some teams, maybe get to semis in Arch Madness.

They had a guy bring in a Braves title ring on PAWN STARS once, and unless it is owned by a player, they aren't worth as much as people thing. That guy asking $25,000 is off his rocker.

Seems "Silver Linings Playbook" is that movie where you either love it or hate it. I loved it but can see both sides. One guy I know compared it to Dirty Dancing with is a joke of an analogy. I keep wanting to see The Impossible but want to see ZDT first. Probably Tuesday night. Lots of people have said that it is not as great as some people are hyping it but its good. I haven't really felt the need to see LINCOLN. I may break down and go sometime when I am bored. I don't doubt it is good, but just haven;t felt the need to see it.

Desmar.Jackson. Sorry, had to.

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Jan 12, 2013 -> 11:22 PM) Doubt too many people still think Smith should be starting. If I am SF, I am praying for a Seattle win because I don't think Kaepernick has been very good on the road at all. Would have to look it up. SOXOBAMA?

So where is this Packer dynasty I was warned about a couple of years ago?

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Jan 12, 2013 -> 01:34 PM) Just compliments your opponent. Just as dumb as the overrated chant IMO. I was at the Stevenson vs Mundelein game last night. Stevenson was up 5 but their 5 student student section wasn't doing anything so Mundelein fans started the "We can't hear you" thing. The 5 students just pointed to the scoreboard. It was pretty funny.

College students are so lame for wanting to have fun.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jan 11, 2013 -> 05:42 PM) Yes, he's an awful director. RT scores: Reservoir Dogs 92% Pulp Fiction 95% Django Unchained 89% Inglorious Basterds 88% Jackie Brown 86% Kill Bill Vol1 85% Kill Bill Vol2 84% This. I understand Tarantino is not for e erroneous but to say PF is his only worthy work is ridiculous.

I watch games on ESPN. That's it. Sometimes PTI.

Zona gonna lose..... Hold on... Yeah, they lost. Dumb play by both teams towards end.

The possibility of Kelly splitting scare him off?

QUOTE (hammerhead johnson @ Jan 9, 2013 -> 07:08 PM) According to Bill James, Biggio was the second best position player of the 90s (behind only Barry Bonds), and the 35th best position player of all time. You don't think he's a hall of famer at all, huh? Interesting. So Bill James should be the only voter for HOF? Saber metrics aren't the end all be all.

Oscar thoughts: I'll finally see ZERO DARK THIRTY tomorrow but how is that nominated for Best Picture and the favorite without Biglow getting nominated. No director nod for Affleck? Thought Perks of Being a Wallflower could have gotten an adapted screenplay nod. I don't want Lewis to win best actor. I want someone paying an original character to win. I'm sure Lewis is great but I just want Denzel or Cooper to win. John Hawkes should have been nominated. Out of best pic noms, I'm pulling for Playbook or PI.

QUOTE (bmags @ Jan 10, 2013 -> 10:51 AM) I haven't seen it, but I've loved every David O Russel movie. I'm sure it's probably pretty good even if it's his weakest. I loved Silver Linings Playbook. Great that BEASTS OF THE SOUTHERN WILD got so much recognition.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jan 10, 2013 -> 07:58 AM) More athletic than Michigan? I'd be impressed. Im a Michigan fan but outside of Burke, Hardaway, and Robinson, they aren't all that athletic or big.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Jan 9, 2013 -> 10:04 PM) Yep, get griffey out of the rotation When he fouled the guy on the FT because he didnt box out was inexcusable.

Oscar nominations come out today. Sue me, I like it. Hope Looper, Perks of Being a Wallflower, Bradley Cooper, Denzel, and Beasts/Southern Wild get nods somehow. Gonna see Zero Dark Thirty tomorrow and hopefully Amour next week if I have time.

That was my first time seeing Minnesota. Yikes. Maybe most athletic team in B10. Getting tough road games out of way as well.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jan 9, 2013 -> 08:16 PM) Not only that, but the ref counted it. It has to be either a charge/no basket or an and-1 in that situation. It's not like he dunked it and then ran over Mbakwe. I've seen that called a few times the past few years. I don't get it.

Can Michigan start blowing out Nebraska pleas? Letting them hang around.

QUOTE (Boogua @ Jan 9, 2013 -> 11:47 AM) So you're saying that Ullis' ceiling is higher than Nunn? Otherwise I don't know what the "oh brother" was for. I never said Nunn was better right now. Absolutely, but I fear we will never find out because Ullis may end up at a smaller program than he deserves. He would be a steal for Iowa if he ends up there.

QUOTE (Boogua @ Jan 9, 2013 -> 11:40 AM) I've seen quite a few people say that, but coaches aren't ignoring his height and they get paid to evaluate and recruit players. He may well be the best guard if he was on Simeon, but his ceiling wouldn't be anywhere near Nunn's. Oh brother. People need to go see Nunn before making statements like that. Dunking is the only think Nunn can do better than Ullis. Ty actually can create his own shot.
