It's not like they opened up more teams to go to state, they just give out more trophies. 16 teams still go to state in total and that's the real prize for many schools and their fans. Heck yeah. 4 win or go home games on Friday was so fun to follow and had huge crowds. The crowds in Peoria are pretty bad, especially with a public league team down there.

Big Ten is filled with kids from Lake County now. Milik Yarborough will be next in a couple of years but heard Syracuse could be in on him.

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Feb 27, 2012 -> 06:51 AM) I follow HS basketball, but the variety with a second 'A' at the end. How many classes does Indiana ball have? Not a fan of 4 classes although 4A could be fun this year.

How much should be emphasized on 40 times? You rarely run in a straight line for 40 yards.

Anyone else follow high school basketball? Playoffs start today in Illinois for 3A and 4A boys. I love it up here in Lake County.

I love this sub forum. Goosebumps... And on the first day of IHSA playoffs which I am a dork for.

I really wish UNDEFEATED was around here for me to see. I actually fell asleep right after Director was announced. Streep? Come on. Viola Davis should of won by a landslide. Honestly thought they would give it to Clooney even though the guy from The Artist was better. They tend to give Oscars to people Hollywood likes often. See Bullock and Julia Roberts.

We don't thank God for creating Charlize Theron enough.

I watch the whole show every year. Who is joining me here for a Soxtalk Oscar party? #hugenerd

Odd starting line up for Illinois. Richardson, Bertrand, Griffey, Abrams, Egwu

We have a huge bookshelf in our hallway full of books, but nothing has been added since we got a Kindle in Christmas '10

iPad 3. It will do everything an iPhone 5 can do except make calls, so as long as you already have a cell phone, no need for an iPhone 5 is you have an iPad3.

QUOTE (Reddy @ Feb 26, 2012 -> 12:01 AM) just finished Battlestar Galactica on Netflix. hot damn that was a good show. I think it rivals Lost for me. I still have Lost as number 1, because it had me so much more emotionally invested (apparently by my reaction to the last episode) but Battlestar was so fracking awesome. I got through it waaaaay too fast. lol Had it queued up on Netflix for awhile. Just never got around to it yet.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Feb 26, 2012 -> 03:07 AM) Leonardo DiCaprio, Christoph Waltz, Jamie Foxx are the 3 main characters from what I understand. Samuel L Jackson, Sacha Baron Cohen, Kurt Russell, Joseph Gordon Leavitt, James Remar, Don Johnson, Kerry Washington all also have roles. I thought Will Smith was attached. Maybe that is old news or a different movie. Maybe Jamie Foxx took his spot. That sucks. Call me a snob but I couldnt even really enjoy REAL STEEL for the mindless flick it was.

I may need glasses but thought that was clearly a foul on Shurna's shot. In real time, it is a tough call but maybe the ref heard the slap. Who knows. PSU coach has to be frustrated losing so many close games this year.

Skokie Swift to Red Line for me.

I'm missing something. Ref called charge on Purdue and counted the basket. Didn't that happen to Illinois a few weeks ago? WTF

How much time did he think he had?

Lots of weak calls in this game

Onions

Called a timeout and couldn't even get a good shot off. Yikes

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Feb 25, 2012 -> 03:03 PM) And hey, Southern Illinois is up 3 on UNI at the half.... We'll lose by 10 or 1 when we turn the ball over on our last possession and not even get a shot off to win.
