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.

"Jeff, Who Lives at Home" is pretty teriffic.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Mar 30, 2012 -> 11:29 AM) Will Ferrel is always hilarious when I see him on shows (his recent appearance on The Daily Show was fantastic) but he always does the dumbest movies. He's on the Adam Sandler path. Same material, new movie. I was never much of an Anchorman fan so don't care about sequel.

I hope Viciedo is more fun to watch than frsutrating. Not too encouraged by his spring. He was practically outplayed by Jordan Danks.

Taking the leap and getting a Sale T-shirt.

QUOTE (illinilaw08 @ Mar 29, 2012 -> 03:52 PM) I'm making a bunch of assumptions here but... Assuming no attrition from the current roster except Leonard, and assuming Hill and James stay committed in the Class of '13, Illinois has 6 scholarships for '13 and '14 (Leonard, Head, DJ, Paul, Griffey, Bertrand). With Hill and James already in the fold, that leaves 4. In that scenario, I assume that Groce tries to take 4 in '13 and 2 in '14, leaving one ride free for Parker until the end. In that scenario, how do you take Nunn? I always assumed that the committment of Hill meant that Nunn was going elsewhere? I could be wrong on this assumption, but that would be a lot of guards in one class (granted, the highly ranked early guys in '14 are bigs and you have a guard oriented offense now, but my point stands). Still, good to hear the continued positive feedback about Groce. Seems to be a lot of excitement about his offense. I thought Crandall Head left.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Mar 29, 2012 -> 02:15 PM) To be fair to him, he had to carry Wes through the finale last time, literally carry. That was Kenny.

QUOTE (DrunkBomber @ Mar 29, 2012 -> 02:02 PM) I kept thinking that CT was gonna turn it up right when Camilla and Bananas caught up to him and that he would be able to beat Camilla because she looked gassed too. Camilla was smart to keep that pick ax as a cane. Anyone else notice it looked like she has mouth herpes or something on her confessional stuff?

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Mar 29, 2012 -> 11:27 AM) Bananas is just small enough to float through the snow while CT sank to the bottom. I loved when Emily asked Ty if he wanted her to carry the log. Emily's my girl. That last night, was brutal. Almost too much.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Mar 29, 2012 -> 09:15 AM) [nobodycares] I am actually optimistic about Barry Hinson taking over SIU after thinking about it for a while. He had a couple seasons at MSU where he was screwed out of a tournament with some pretty good teams RPI-wise(21 and 37 I believe), and just happened to be sitting behind SIU and Creighton on the tourney waiting list. He has already talked to the returning class of players and none are leaving, and it seems he has also convinced Antonio "Bobo" Drummond to honor his LOI, which for SIU is a pretty big deal. Looks like the only one leaving is the JUCO recruit Travis Wilkens, which isnt really terrible. [/nobodycares] It's the kind of hire I was expecting. Hopefully he can get things turned around and be competitive in the conference again. Hope he lets Diamond Taylor play and not jerk him around like CLo
