Just read that with that W, the Bulls now own the tiebreaker with the Lakers.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Mar 30, 2011 -> 05:13 PM) Ryan Boatright & Chasson Randle tied for first place in Mr. Basketball voting 3rd - Wayne Blackshear 4th - Anthony Davis 5th - David Sobolweski None of the four Illini recruits in the top 5. The funny thing about this is that I have a vote and was going to cast it for Boatright but never sent it in. Oops

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Mar 30, 2011 -> 11:36 AM) @ SethDavisHoops Bernie Miklasz of the St. Louis Post Dispatch has reported that Matt Painter called Missouri AD Mike Alden to accept his offer. Wow. For some reason, I never realized that Painter played for Purdue as well. I don't know how much more Mizzou is paying him, but thats a huge get for them. Stealing a successful coach from his alma mater at a program thats on a similar level, if not higher. Kudos to the Jibronis on this site that predicted this months ago

I thought Chris Lowery would of been a great fit at Mizzou.

The first half of the Simmons podcast with Jacko talking about Conneticut is great.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Mar 29, 2011 -> 05:11 PM) That kid is awesome. One of my favorite players to watch this year. Great defender but he doesn't really have much of an offensive skill set, does he?

Bosh thinking he is the go to guy. Ha

The Cavs announcers are cracking me up. If they blow this game, they may kill themselves.

Yeah, Harry. WWE is the worst it has ever been probably. Even worse than 93. I didn't know they taped Smackdown as well. Hell, that had to of been a long night. And the AllState parking lot if awful to get out. Never easy. WHen I was in high school, my buddies and I went to AllState a few times and right where you pay to park, we used to go right off to the right and back in. After the show, we were out in no time. Than one time, they wouldn't let us do that and it was awful getting out of there.

I am probably being old fashioned but going into your biggest show of the year, why do the confrontations have to end of Raw with one person getting the upper hand? Miz is the most interesting champ they have had in a long time and they are making him look so weak. I'm afraid that if they make him drop the belt to Cena Sunday, it will cripple his momentum and since the E needs young guys NOW, that would be awful and one of the reasons I am stepping down.

Only WWE could make Del Rio dull, repetitive, and stale already.

Great finale for Shameless. Loved the drama. Assuming when we cone back next year Fiona is with Tony. Hilarious when Lip pee'd on Frank and Frank took it. Guy I work with says it is now different from British version because at the end of season 1, Fiona leaves and never comes back.

Was at work today and there was a commercial for some animated movie and one of the characters did some variation of John McClane's "Yippy Ki Yi Yay!' and for some reason the theme song to this krept its way out of a file cabinet in my brain and now it is stuck in my head.

How old was Jereme Richmond when Illini fans started swooning over him?

QUOTE (The Critic @ Mar 27, 2011 -> 04:17 PM) How's that coming along? Make sure to "thank" all the people/companies/storylines that are making you leave. Don't leave anyone out - I want that speech to be so long that they bring up the music to cue you to get off the stage. Too much pressure

Correct me if I am wrong, but I think I just won our pool because I am the only one who picked a Final Four team. Everyone else is 0/4. Ha I would almost feel bad taking the money...Almost.

QUOTE (The Critic @ Mar 27, 2011 -> 09:38 AM) I've watched pretty regularly since about 1971, but now I find myself turning it off or skipping through so much stuff that I'm wondering why I even bother with it anymore. I even used to get a kick out of the blatantly awful stuff (like the dying days of wCw), but now I'm just bored. Which is why I am preparing my farewell speech.

I knew VCU could D it up, never thought they coould hold down Kansas though.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Mar 26, 2011 -> 01:12 PM) Im toast in all brackets. Still need some people to pay for the yahoo bracket, need the money by the championship game please. Any of them my buddies that need to pay?

I think Sullinger is a lot stronger than May was. May threw his weight around whole Jared is stronger. IMO.

Without saying it, it seems people are hating on Sullinger for some reason today. They act like he didn't do anything last night. A freshmen in an elite 8 game puts in 21 and grabs 16 rebounds. That's sick and anyone saying he is Sean May, is out of their mind. This coming from a guy who hates Ohio State. Get serious folks.

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Mar 25, 2011 -> 11:03 PM) OSU, not an elite team, sorry. I thought OSU should of beaten Kentucky by 10 but Kentucky played great defense tonight. That was a cold shot by Knight. Craft was all over him.

Punk is one of the only guys whose promos don't sound scripted and flow naturally.
