QUOTE (Jenks Heat @ Mar 24, 2009 -> 03:42 PM) Travis Hafner came out of nowhere and grew quickly and then became an injury machine now he has shrunken. The doubts of PED's to Hafner are probably as comparable as wheather Sosa did them. Holy crap. This is the first I have seen Hafner and he is Ivan Rodriguez skinny now.

QUOTE (fathom @ Mar 22, 2009 -> 03:37 PM) Complaining about every single call to the refs, shaking his head every time a teammate misses a shot, refusing to run back on defense when his other 4 teammates are to name a few. He's a block and rebounding machine. He gets back plenty. Must be doing something right as he will probably win Mr. Basketball. Seriously? Down on a kid cuz he shakes his head when someone misses a shot? What player doesn't do that? Last night was frustrating for the whole team. Anyone who judges him based on last nights game is wrong. The refs last night were inconsistent all night. At times they would call ticky tack fouls on either team between arcs and not call fouls down low. Young was complaining all night to the refs. The thing about Jordan is that his shot looks so flat out of his hand but he hits it. I thought everyone of his 4 free throws in the 4th were bricks on his release but they just get over the front of the rim. Odd.

QUOTE (fathom @ Mar 22, 2009 -> 03:31 PM) I've said a few times now that Frazier seems like a great guy, while Mike Davis has the potential to be the best interior player for the Illini since Deon Thomas. With that said, Richmond's demeanor on the court is pathetic. My parents are actually Illini fans, and they couldn't believe his actions on the court when we saw him live last year. What kind of "demeanor" should he have? I keep thinking back to Bobby Knights' "game face" rant.

QUOTE (fathom @ Mar 22, 2009 -> 01:03 PM) Very entertaining basketball at the IHSA championships. Marcus Jordan actually played superb basketball. As for Richmond...I know I'm biased, but he has the worst body language of any high recruit I've seen on a basketball court. This article basically sums it up: http://www.pjstar.com/sports/x599207872/No...ose-their-heads What a garbage article. The whole team was down in the dumps when they were down 17. I was at center court and saw it. Richmond helped fuel the comeback. He tried getting to the hole, got to the line a bunch of times, and was down low trying to rebound and block shots like always. I'm guessing the guy has seen Richmond play once, maybe twice. I saw him play about 10 times this year and some people mistake his demeanor for laziness, I thought the same thing last year. He turned it around big time this year. His demeanor when they were down 17 was the same look he had dribbling up before hitting a 40 foot jumper to win the sectional. Again, I was saying last year that Richmond was so overrated, but this year he has developed a jump shot. Both 3 point range and mid range.

QUOTE (T R U @ Mar 21, 2009 -> 11:57 PM) Uh, Role Models was awesome.. dunno what you guys are thinkin Hell Yeah. That movie was hilarious.

Come on LSU! Get all these UNC pickers outta my way.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Mar 21, 2009 -> 12:55 PM) Villanova is physically manhandling UCLA. This is hilarious. I hate to sound redundant. But again, how good is the Big East? I've never seen one conference with this much depth before in my life. I was dumb enough to pick VCU over Villanova, but that never would of happened.

QUOTE (MHizzle85 @ Mar 21, 2009 -> 01:34 PM) It's a shame, IIRC he's better than his brother. He's ok. He'll find a mid major to go to. I have never really seen him have a good shooting game. Very strong to the hole though. He faces off against Jereme Richmond tonight for the state title.

QUOTE (Jimbo's Drinker @ Mar 21, 2009 -> 12:04 PM) Where is Marcus Jordan going to college? Hasn't committed anywhere. I don't think is too highly touted. He was awesome in the 2nd hald last night against Thornton.

Would love for Michigan to win and move on, but I went out on a limb to be different and have Oklahoma winning it all. As long as Duke loses, it will be a good day.

Va Tech trying a huge comeback against Baylor. Were down 25, now just down 15 with 6 mins left. Lots of momentum.

QUOTE (The Critic @ Mar 21, 2009 -> 09:39 AM) Lucky Eric Young. He gets the honor of wrestling a cage match at the Lockdown PPV against.... Danny Bonaduce. Smells like wCw. Ever since they hired Russo, that promotions product has gone down hill...Big Time! A couple of personalities and some talent make some of it watchable, but it is crap. I like the Knockout Division better than anything probably.

Damn. There goes my Cinderella VCU. Nice comeback though.

Louisville, PITT, Oklahoma, Mizzou

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Mar 19, 2009 -> 02:02 PM) Never thought for a second Memphis would lose. Watching the first half, I was prepared to post that Memphis was gonna lose. CSU looked solid.

QUOTE (ChWRoCk2 @ Mar 18, 2009 -> 10:38 PM) Start me off with a win Butler! Yuck.

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Mar 18, 2009 -> 09:03 PM) Maybe because I'm not as into LOST as I have been in the past, I just am not following, but where are people like Rose, Bernard, and the other original crash survivors? Are they in 77? Present time with Sun? Rose and Benard are MIA. All fans wonder where they are. I think the rest were killed in the past by the flaming arrows. Sort of a slow episode but think they are establishing where and when everyone is for the rest of the season. Young Ben in da house!

QUOTE (greasywheels121 @ Mar 18, 2009 -> 05:50 PM) I'll be getting stitches out next week; that will be a new experience. Those tickle when pulled out.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Mar 18, 2009 -> 04:46 PM) J Hood's shining moments have to be his Santo impression on B&B, his 2 hour late night interviews with Aaron Rowand usually spent talking about the Bears and Score hello. I don't think I heard any of him on 1000. This. It sucks 670 doesn't do a Chicago overnight show anymore. They get some crazies calling in and always had unique moments.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Mar 18, 2009 -> 01:43 PM) Richmond should finish first with Paul 2nd and no one else should really be close. I'm a Warren guy and I agree with this. A lot of people in the city will want Darius Smith talked about.

There is also a rumor going around that Lenzelle Smith will be transferring to Waukegan next year. His dad is switching churches from one in Zion to one in Waukegan. That would be 2 of the top 5 seniors in Illinois playing on the same team. Not sure how it will work cuz also heard they don't get along all that great. If that happens and they could play together, Waukegan would go undefeated next year.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Mar 18, 2009 -> 12:45 PM) I made the short drive to Hoffman Estates last night to see Jereme Richmond and Waukegan play. He is still sick (or so I was told, and so it appeared) and he probably didn't have his best game, but he still had about 18 points, several blocks, and 15 rebounds and Waukegan blew out high school basketball's answer to the Duke Blue Devils, Glenbrook North. Compared to the competition Waukegan had to beat to get to last night (Zion-Benton and Warren), the Spartans seemed an easier opponent, although I believe they had played twice this season, both close games, with GBN winning one. Not sure how that happened after watching that game. The point is though, in regards to this thread, even on a night where Richmond didn't play his best game, you could just see the talent. He had a few dunks, some incredible blocks, a ton of rebounds, and put up big numbers in a big game despite the fact he was getting mugged all night and didn't shoot great. Quan Connor missed the game for Waukegan. He is a huge part of their defense and gets about 12 pts a game. Richmond should win Mr. Basketball in Illinois.

Illinois, Arizona...BTN, just starting.

Dick slappin's my game! You premature ejaculator!

Austin Peay, baby!
