QUOTE (danman31 @ Mar 1, 2012 -> 12:46 PM) I can't argue with any of that, but they're still not playing as well as they did earlier in the year. Lots of top ranked teams had problems in the first round across the state. Some even loss. If a top team struggles after that first playoff game, than fans have to worry.

SIU makes a miracle semi run! Book it! (putting down drink)

The series premiere of AWAKE is getting top notch reviews. DVRed

I saw an All Valley Karate Tournament where the previous years winner got a bye to the finals of the next year.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Mar 1, 2012 -> 09:43 AM) As a whole, the challenges have been really week. Next week looks pretty good though. Agreed. Hope they get better now that the 2 girl team is gone. I'm really digging Emily's "Sarah Connor" type vibe this season.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Mar 1, 2012 -> 10:11 AM) Cleveland Cavaliers. Don't hate on the Cavs. They were solid for awhile than Varajeo went down, who was having an All Star type season.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Mar 1, 2012 -> 10:29 AM) Oh and I hope everyone will tune in tonight to watch the embarrassment that is SIU basketball. Getting my paperbag ready. One to puke in and the other to cover my face up with.

Hated the guy but wasn't he just on Maher like a couple of weeks ago? Wow. Too young.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Mar 1, 2012 -> 09:09 AM) I think it's time for us all to discuss what Korver's been doing and where he's been getting all this sun. He's looking like David Kaplan circa 2010 out there. He looks like Michael J Fox in the scene in Teen Wolf in the bathroom where he first fully changes. Like midway through the Teen WOlf change=Korver. Nobody talking about Jeremy Lin's line last night? Ok.

QUOTE (danman31 @ Mar 1, 2012 -> 12:18 AM) I've covered them a few times this year. They're one of the better teams around, or at least they were. They've hit some sort of wall lately. They started something like 18-2 and made the final at Proviso West, but lost three in a row to start February, lost the conference title and barely avoided a couple more upsets since. They're the top seed in the sectional though so who knows. They just barely beat Niles West in the first round. I wasn't overly impressed with NT the 3 times I saw them this year. Proviso was down this year.

Finally a funny episode of Modern Family this season.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Mar 1, 2012 -> 08:15 AM) what is wrong with your brain Have you been ignoring his posts in NBA thread?

Hey MTV, don't be afraid to make new Dome challenges. And God, Paula is so nasty. I know I say it every tear but needs repeating.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Feb 29, 2012 -> 03:36 PM) fascinating article on the 'Malice in the Palace" Ten years already. Geez I still don't get why the media treats Artest as some cute abs cuddly character. The guy had mental problems and is an idiot.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Feb 29, 2012 -> 04:33 PM) I think I'm in the minority but I thought that movie was way overrated. The death sequences were pretty neat, the cinematography was good, and the main bad dude who does voices in the Simpsons was great (and needs to be in more bad-guy movies). But the movie itself was just boring as hell. I think Gosling had, in all seriousness, 10 total lines the entire movie. He just kept staring into the camera. I didn't really care for the ending either. Co-sign

I don't know how to look it up but I would bet the TV ratings in the crap years were still pretty high.

Like EVERY other Bulls fan? When they were the pits, they were still selling out the UC or had one of the highest attendances in the NBA. I watched and complained about them every year. Ron Mercer, ugh.

QUOTE (Big Hurtin @ Feb 29, 2012 -> 12:07 PM) Davy Jones, singer in the Monkees. Nooooooo

For people that work Sunday mornings, losing an hour of sleep sucks

That's kinda awesome

Great shot, but it was a tie game. He misses, they still play on. The Richmond shot a few years ago is still the best high school shot I have ever seen, even though it came against my school.

Pretty strong HIMYM last night, IMO.

QUOTE (juddling @ Feb 28, 2012 -> 07:12 AM) God Bless you Carl Jr/Hardees Hadn't had Hardees in over 5 years because I got food poisoning from them once. This convinces me to give them another shot.

I saw that and my jaw dropped. Sucks for IHSA that the two best teams in teh state face in the supers but sometimes it lines up that way. Girls basketball bores me to tears but that is pretty incredible. Also have heard bad thinks about that Bolingbrook program. Girls mysteriously transfering in all the time.

I'm probably alone, but if Peavy wants to talk about being a leader and making 30 starts, truck him out there opening day and let him set the tone. We don't really have a true #1 anyway and you are only a #1 starters once maybe twice during the year.
