Brian

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Apr 1, 2012 -> 11:15 PM) Ya it's weird, I never thought she was that great looking but the last few months I have fallen in love as well. Take Beth out of that tag match tonight and holy eye candy! Go to hell. Ha And I can see where Soxfan is coming from. Wrestling is going thru a transistion phase right now, from big guys who dominate to younger more athletic guys. I may feel the same way if I peaked in once a year. Its funny to see guys say they grew up on the Attitude Era cuz I grew up on the early 90's where it felt and looked legit. I'm old. But not as old as The Critic. Phew

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Apr 1, 2012 -> 10:46 PM) Anywho, besides the Bryan burial and Show-Cody the show was very fun, even Kane-RKO was damn good. Lesnar tomorrow maybe? This. Cena/Rock was hardly an great wrestling match but was fine. Ended the way I thought so both guys look rather strong. Cena just has no timing in there with Rock, or maybe in general. I was shocked how into the Cell I got. Great storytelling. Finish was a little anticlimactic but what are ya gonna do? Looks like 20-0 is a nice round marketable number. I was really upset they let Maria pin Beth. Just ugh. I was hoping for Beth to GlamSlam her and pin her. I know Maria had bad ribs, but than pin Kelly. Celebs pinning your regular stars is so stupid but they continuously do it. I don't care for anyones or the WWE's reasoning. To do that to your World Champ was so dumb. Those two had decent matches last year for the US belt and Mania is known for its openers. Just disappointing. Overall, best Mania since 24. Hope to see Lesnar tonight. Oh, and I hated and ignored Eve, but as a heel b****, she is hot as sh*t.

Outside the first hour, show has been very good IMO

Hell in a Cell has been great so far

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 1, 2012 -> 04:39 PM) Thanks, Boston. Why doesn't Boston scream and pound their chests when they convert on fast breaks? #professionalism

Sullinger needs a left hand, a jump shot, and to explode off the floor to have a long NBA career. I know he has worked on his jumper but needs to be Garnett like with it since he will be undersized.

Is Scal in good enough shape to be playing this long?

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Apr 1, 2012 -> 10:24 AM) The mariachi band had me cracking up. Teacher was a good sport. What did he do on the chalkboard at the end? Looks like some kind of stuff only Will Hunting would understand.

QUOTE (flavum @ Apr 1, 2012 -> 10:40 AM) Somebody watch The Killing so I don't have to and let me know if I should give it a second try. Nobody will convince me to stick with that show. First season started so good and than....vomit... I'll follow it from afar and will roll my eyes at whomever the killer is.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Apr 1, 2012 -> 10:52 AM) Don't forget, Amare' is also out because of a bulging disc. The Knicks playoff chances are basically on Melo ATM Dude, you're forgetting that they still have the greatest rim defender and shot blocker of all time...TYSON CHANDLER.......

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Apr 1, 2012 -> 11:04 AM) What do you guys think leads off the show? I'm thinkin Bryan-Sheamus maybe? I hope it is because its the most predictable of all the matches.

I thought a Miz/Austin match would have worked this Mania if Vince didn't put Miz in Job mode after blaming him for Survivor Series and R-Truth's bump. They teased it with a nice segment during Tough Enough and the crowd was hot for it. Anyone know how WWE mentioned TNA during HOF last night? Thought it was part of the agreement to let Flair show up.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Apr 1, 2012 -> 08:51 AM) Are you saying it wasn't funny at all, or disagreeing with me saying that what I saw wasn't funny? I didn't find the movie funny at all, so I was agreeing with you.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Apr 1, 2012 -> 09:18 AM) You believe in Pro wrestling/Sports Entertainment retirements? Do you believe in Santa Claus too? I just figured 20-0 was a nice round marketable number for WWE. Who knows. Brock signing is huge though.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Apr 1, 2012 -> 12:43 AM) I just caught the last hour or so of Bridesmaids. Apparently all of the funny parts were in the first part. Nope

This cracked me up for some reason: Scott Powers‏@ESPNChiPreps Illinois' Sam Maniscalco signs with agent, ready for pro career - Chicago Colleges Blog - ESPN Chicago http://es.pn/H5zEFP

I say it every year, but what would it take to get Nantz off the Final Four broadcasts? Give me Verne and Raftery 24/7 over him. Zzzzzz

QUOTE (2nd_city_saint787 @ Mar 31, 2012 -> 04:30 PM) Was Cena around when he was around?? Wouldnt mind seeing them 2 feud. They had a small feud on SD when Cena was the heel rapper. Actually may have had a PPV match. I would have to look it up. Nothing memorable.

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Mar 31, 2012 -> 03:11 PM) So puppy will be here a week from today, only about 6 weeks old. I've read some stuff that says they wake up to go in the middle of the night a ton, and they have to go about 30 seconds after waking up. And that this lasts for many months. True? False? It's an elevator ride to get down, so we're considering puppy pads on the balcony for those sorts of "emergencies." Good idea? Bad idea? If she can truly only hold it 30 seconds, there's no way to get outside. Puppies, supposedly, never pee or poop where they sleep. Mine never did or when I held him. You'll have to carry them out for a few months if you go the elevator route. Puppies and dogs like sniffing around before they go so a balcony maybe a tad dull unless you are just talking about over nights. Get ready for the constant crying the first few nights. The first couple of months are annoying but it's cool when they get old and just lay around. Mine is going to be 2 next months and his energy bursts have become more rare.

Isaac would be the best RB on the team as a freshmen. He'd start in front of anyone else Hoke brings in.

I know nothing about him nor have heard of him until this spring. Another Santos type find?

Just remembered, one year ago, I was complaining about how I was done with wrestling after Mania. Well, here I still am. Don't regret it. We've had decent stuff the past year. Also stuff to complain about. Summer of Punk was great although rushed and ruined. I could say they made up for it by putting the belt on him for a nice run right now. They pushed a lot of younger guys, althought they are taking a back seat now for Rock. It will probably always be my guilty pleasure.

When he was a senior, Pullen really wasn't good enough to play at Illinois. As time passed, he obviously became a great college player but he was in the shadow of Carlwell and played a different game at KSU than he did at Proviso East.
