Brian

Some kids could benefit from college as a way to ease into the life of the NBA off the court. If I went right into the real world out of high school, I would have been lost.

Steve, Help me with Justified. I like it but not gonna watch first two seasons until April when I am out of commission for a bit. Too many bad guys for me to follow. Cliff notes Please.

There are plenty of pros and cons in basketball, whether it's prep, college, or pro. I can appreciate them all.

I do believe the Illini fans here have toned down the complaining, etc, since they started getting called out on it more.

Oh, Brandon.

Leonard should watch this game and see why he is not NBA ready. Passive on the block tonight.

QUOTE (mumbles3k @ Jan 30, 2012 -> 11:43 PM) I watched THE PLAYER yesterday for the first time in years. That's truly one of the best movies ever made. I also watched KISS KISS BANG BANG again. I liked it a lot more the second time around. The Player is fantastic. The opening tracking shot is genius. Got Paranormal Activity 3 off Redbox for tonight. I liked the first two for what they were and have been told 3 is better. Chronicle getting very positive reviews thus far.

This season is only 12 episodes and I don't watch anything else on Mondays so I may as well keep DVRing it to finish the season out.

The Only way I can watch Alcatraz on DVR cuz there are commercials every 5 minutes.

Didn't feel the quake but my dog jumped up howling around ten o'clock.

Don't get me wrong, getting a girl like that when you're 17 would be kind of cool, but I have a feeling when you scrape off all that make up, she may not be such a looker.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jan 31, 2012 -> 09:56 AM) I'd be surprised if Illinois doesn't win. They always seem to play MSU tough at home If Michigan can beat Michigan State at home, Illinois can.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Jan 30, 2012 -> 11:05 PM) I thought Orton was hurt for a while? Ditto than I thought he was just coming back for the next couple of months, take off after Mania, and wrestle carefully until than but than he did that big top rope suplex last night. I really don't want to see HHH vs. Taker for the 3rd time at Mania. Last year was fine but nothing they could do this year would make it more interesting. HBK already put his career on the line and would be redundant to do that. Maybe Taker pops up on each show every once in awhile looking for an opponent but nobody wants to face him and he keeps getting rejected. Ha Agree with Punk/Bryan being terrific. I'm digging Bryan's character right now. Keep him out of matches with hosses like Show and Henry. I'm probably going up to Chamber in Milwaukee so hope the card is good.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jan 30, 2012 -> 03:30 PM) Did anyone watch 'Luck' last night and have a review? I can't decide if I want to bother. I couldn't get into it. Struggled to make it through the hour. If it gets good, I'll watch it on demand but not sticking with it.

QUOTE (Rex Hudler @ Jan 30, 2012 -> 11:16 AM) Good question. I had to look him up. He looked pretty good last night and I couldn't remember him so I was scratching my head. He's played a lot more lately, averaging just under 20 min/game. He only played 2 minutes against Butler, none against IU and mop up time against UNC, which are the only three games I had seen this year until last night. He's averaging 5.7 pts and 3.2 reb. Fouled out late in the game last night, but had 11 pts, 6 reb. What do you think his potential is? Obviously he is thin and adding bulk and strength will be important, but tell me what else you know about him. I think he can be a solid MVC player. Definitely needs muscle mass but is very athletic around the bucket. As lOng as he gets stronger, he'll be fine.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Jan 29, 2012 -> 10:33 PM) Shameless was great tonight. I'm glad Carl and Ethel are starting to get more storylines. Didnt need to see that dude's shlong. Self esteem low enough.

QUOTE (Rex Hudler @ Jan 30, 2012 -> 12:08 AM) Watching Evansville is so draining. Having moved away I don't get to see them very often. But having grown up with the program, being friends with many players while in school - including current head coach Marty Simmons - it kills me when they struggle. They have a lot of obstacles to face compared to the other programs they are facing, yet it can be done. It's tough when the proverbial deck is stacked against you and the margin for error is extremely small. How has Sawvell looked? I see he plays a lot. He was fun in high school.

Glad I didn't pay for this.

QUOTE (SuperSteve @ Jan 29, 2012 -> 04:27 PM) In the grand scheme, I agree. I am just afraid at how stale Smackdown could get. Mark Henry as a monster against Taker at WM wouldn't kill me. They just did that a few years ago in a Casket Match.

QUOTE (daa84 @ Jan 29, 2012 -> 05:16 PM) "tell me about that dunk over john lucas, who is not a short man" lol please "People may remember by piece on E60...." Who is she again?

Refs were fine all game until the last 30 seconds. Still, Rose can NOT miss both those free throws, obviously. To hang like they did minus Deng and a typical Boozer crap fest in a big game is a positive.

QUOTE (thxfrthmmrs @ Jan 29, 2012 -> 04:41 PM) Carlos Boozer is so bad, even his sons are rooting against him. That was pretty funny actually.
