Get hyped for the season....

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Oct 26, 2009 -> 05:31 PM) I guarantee Iowa will suck. If they don't, its because the rest of college basketball got swine flu for the entire season and they were the only ones immune to it. Is Cully Payne healthy? That is a kid who will play hard every minute on the floor, no matter how bad they are. I will get to see Brust play alot this year.

QUOTE (MHizzle85 @ Oct 26, 2009 -> 03:52 PM) Decent PPV last night. Most people seem to love the Ironman match from last night, it was good...but it was obvious that Orton & Cena can't go for an hour. It was a decent Ironman match, but it would of been a great 20-30 min. match. However, I don't buy their "this is one of the greatest rivalries in history" routine. It's not even in discussion, IMO. Not even feud of the year. I just hope they give Cena someone interesting to work with. Oh & Batista turned heel last night...he's now a bit more interesting. I totally forgot about the PPV last night. Ha You're darn tooting that Batista just got more interesting. I never thought they would pull the trigger on a heel turn for him. Thank God. I just saw the segment he went heel. That was awesome. Calmly telling Rey, "I'm gonna rip your head off."

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Oct 26, 2009 -> 12:25 PM) Didn't he hurt his knee or something? I think he's been limited because of that, not for effort. Saw him 3 times his junior year, twice his senior knee. Hope he didn't have year and a half knee injuries.

Go Phillies...although I don't feel good about it.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Oct 26, 2009 -> 11:18 AM) ...He's a freshman who hasn't played in an even an exhibition. Well, hopefully he plays harder than when I saw him at times in high school.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Oct 25, 2009 -> 09:40 PM) Richardson is without a doubt the best of the freshmen and he will be the starting 2G with McCamey locked in at the PG and Tisdale and Davis the starting C and PF. I think Legion is the starting 3/WG and Paul the first guard off the bench playing 20+ minutes per game. I could see Paul starting by the end of the year but that will depend on how well Legion plays. Keller and Griffey will be the first two bigs off of the bench and then Bertrand and Jordan will also get playing time. I haven't heard much about Bertrand and have a finally my prediction is rounding into shape about him being a bust. Everytime I saw that kid, he just seemed lazy and uninterested. He definitely has skill, but just don't think he will be a big time player with Illini.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Oct 26, 2009 -> 12:34 AM) LMAO. Damn, Whitesoxfan101 be pissin' folks off. I love drama and confusion. As long as it doesn't involve me. +1

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Oct 25, 2009 -> 08:13 PM) Alex Legion, 28 pts, 11-15 FG, 6-8 behind the arc in the O & B scrimmage game. If he can play anywhere near to his potential, instead of the suckfest he was last year, it will make the Illini so much stronger and they will have a chance to compete for the conference title. Either way, cant wait for the season to start, the Big 10 has so much talent, should be very entertaining, the experts are even predicting NW to finally make the tourney What is Brandon Paul's role gonna be? I'm guessing he will be starting by years end.

QUOTE (kjshoe04 @ Oct 25, 2009 -> 08:26 PM) I'd honestly say on a neutral court the chance is closer to 25-30%. 1% is ridiculous. Illinois is not North Carolina here. And Illinois State isn't Gonaga

No complaints this week. =)

P.S. If Benson wants to keep running out there when the game is in the bag, a helmet to the thigh could be in order.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Oct 25, 2009 -> 05:49 PM) I've seen a few comments in various places on the internet to that effect, that we traded picks and got rid of a better QB in Orton etc., comments from people that don't have a clue about football outside of the W-L record and the QB's stat line. What could Orton have possibly done today? He'd have probably been sacked 8 or 9 times. And there would still be no running game. The Bears would have 1 win with Orton at QB. Cutler won the Steelers and Seattle game. We had 3 guys in the punters face. How did one of them NOT block that?

QUOTE (whitesoxbrian @ Oct 25, 2009 -> 05:38 PM) Why is Cutler still out there? Hanie should definitely be out there. No need to risk injury. I got friends on facebook, 3 of them, that are saying we shouldn't of traded all those picks for Cutler. Sometimes I hate Chicago fans even though I am one.

GOOD AS GOULD! I'm sure someone is happy that he is on their fantasy team! WOOHOO!!!!

I've been one of the bigger Lovie supporters but he didn't have the guys ready, plain and simple and his Tampa 2 is being exploited...again. Pretty much an all around suckfest.

QUOTE (MurcieOne @ Oct 25, 2009 -> 04:28 PM) This has been such a disaster today. . . Ced Benson has 100+ in the first half. Benson had a couple of runs to start the game but we are getting him now. Too bad that passing game of them there Bengals is so dynamic.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Oct 25, 2009 -> 03:41 PM) The Bears defense really blows right now. Hillenmeyer and Roach are huge downgrades from Urlacher and Tinoisamoa and we don't have any impact players at DT. Add in a bad secondary and you have a bad defense. Also on offense, f*** running the ball. Let Cutler just throw on basically every play. I don't hate Roach as much as others. Hillenmeyer on the other hand. He is awful. I like how we get a gun slinging QB yet call "Shoop" plays for him.

I can't stop picking the mini Twix out of the Halloween candy. Sue me.

QUOTE (T R U @ Oct 25, 2009 -> 03:10 PM) You sure? I heard on the radio yesterday Edwards isn't playing. You're right. Fitzpatrick...ugh.

Trent Edwards vs. Jake Delhomme should be....interesting.

Thought for sure Minn was about to take the lead. Yikes.

I'm pretty sure favre will lead Minn down field now to at least tie the game.

This is garbage. ABC originally said the final season would run week after week, uninterupted...NOW.... According to LOST Executive Producer Carlton Cuse, ABC will air the first few episodes of Season 6 in January and then return to the schedule after the Winter Olympics in early March. Seriously? A month off for the WInter Olympics which suck?

Mercy. Michigan has really regressed.
