QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jan 9, 2013 -> 11:37 AM) Well if you were a recruit and UK, Duke, Louisville, MSU etc came knocking on the door, what is the draw to go downstate to Illinois? There are so many cooks in the kitchen going after chicago recruits that its hard to have any loyalty to a team that has no real identity in the city. Which is why my theory behind the Nunn/Tate recruitment is that Groce wants to open up that pipeline more to compete with those programs. I would take Ullis over both.

It's too bad that Illinois can't keep more kids in state. It won't happen, but if in this junior class, Groce got Okafor and Ullis, you're looking at a Big Ten champion. College coaches need to ignore Ullis' height. The kid is a player of the year candidate now and if he had actually transferred to Simeon, he'd be the best guard on that team.

Off today. Can't decide ifi wanna go see The Impossible or This Is Forty this afternoon?

QUOTE (GoodAsGould @ Jan 8, 2013 -> 09:02 PM) New coach give it some time, any interesting recruits for them next year? Nobody big. Couple nice players but no stars as far as I know.

Smack down

QUOTE (Rex Hudler @ Jan 8, 2013 -> 08:27 PM) So is the Missouri Valley just the Big Two and Little Eight this year? Have there been any big out of conference wins by someone not named Creighton? Watch out for the SALUKIS...never mind. Sigh

QUOTE (zenryan @ Jan 8, 2013 -> 06:16 PM) Any word on Hickory? He won his bet on the over.

Rock and Lee Smith! I honestly wouldn't care if Bonds got in.

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Jan 8, 2013 -> 07:00 PM) Half time Duke 25 Clemson 10 Duke has struggled scoring lately, it seems. I see them losing at NC State this weekend.

Will this surgery stop him from walking so many guys?

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jan 8, 2013 -> 02:59 PM) /spit take

Elliott Cole, from new CPL school, Powerhouse, scored 64 in a win yesterday and is now averaging 38.1 pts per game. He has had some wild games with awful shooting but put up enough shots to get point but yesterday was rather efficient. 8 of 11 from 3's. Also had 11 assists. Chicago State has an offer to him. His story is interesting because he had been riding the pine for St. Josephs the past 3 years, had enough, and went to this new school and is going off. Oops, Coach Pingatore. Wonder is recruiting will pick up for him or not. Literally came out of nowhere this year. Guess he doesn't play AAU or summer leagues.

Happy "Justified" Day!

QUOTE (lasttriptotulsa @ Jan 8, 2013 -> 07:02 AM) Another nice win for the Bulls, even if it was the lowly Cavaliers. Six guys in double figures, Boozer and Noah with Double-Doubles. 40+ points from the bench. Not a whole lot to complain about. I was a tad worried after they lost at home to Charlotte for this game. Boozer beasting lately. He has to keep it up.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Jan 7, 2013 -> 09:53 PM) Keep the Rock in the locker room. If it happens, WWE will regret taking the belt off Punk and putting it on Rock at Rumble. Just my opinion. I'd like to see... Punk beats Rock Retains in Chamber Comes out on next Raw and says, "Nobody can beat me!" Lights go out. DONG! Punk ends Takers streak at Mania. I don't see the need for Punk to lose it anytime soon. That said, Rock will probably win and lose it to Cena at Mania. Yawn.

That is what I felt was going to happen, but so many people were saying it would be close, I think I started to feel that way as well. Work will be fun today.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jan 7, 2013 -> 06:15 PM) Thats about what I expect. Some of my michigan fan friends hate ND more than OSU. I do. If I went to Michigan, it may be a different story, but ND is my most hated college.

Watched "Sleepwalk With Me" on train today. Short dramedy that I was fully satisfied with.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jan 7, 2013 -> 03:25 PM) Wait, arent you a Michigan fan? I dont know any UM fans that are remotely pulling for the domers. I hope it's decided by the end of the 1st quarter. Plus, if ND wins, the Irish "fans" at work will be the most ungracious winners ever.

With all the athletes from all the teams and sports he has worked on, it's odd seeing Dr Andrews with Redskins stuff on.

RG3 done

Does Seattle know how to pick up a blitz?
