Tie game in the Kohl Center

I've seen enough episodes of Cops to know this is the standard response of someone drunk off their ass.

This sucks... I let my old yahoo email and ID lag. It got shutdown in November or December. Of the top of my head, I've got 8 or 9 league titles and slightly less second place finished (5 or 6) in the last 5 years. All in Baseball and Football. I probably played 3 or 4 per season, per sport. So maybe 40-50 leagues.

QUOTE(thedoctor @ Feb 15, 2006 -> 11:42 AM) for the first time this year the ncaa is releasing the rpi it uses to rank teams for the tournament. these rankings will come out each week. for intents and purposes of tournament selection, this is the only rpi that matters and it directly effects the seeding process. ncaa rpi Ken Pomeroy has it down perfectly... They don't match now, but yesterday at noon, they looked the same. Ohio State and Iowa jumped Texas, who got dragged down simply for having to play Baylor. http://kenpom.com/rpi.php

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Feb 14, 2006 -> 10:14 PM) Freeman...man do I like how Alford is getting the kid experience in crunch time. Definately preparing this guy for a big time role next year and he could turn into one of the best Iowa has ever seen at the point position (and they've had some damn good points). I'm glad he gets to play a year with Horner whose one of the best PG's in the country. I think you're missing that Freeman's biggest contribution is that he takes the ball out of Horner's hands and turns him into a Reggie Miller type 2-Guard running off screens all day. Freeman's as good as you get defensively for his size as a freshman, but he's nothing special on the offensive end. That being said, the Hawkeyes are much more explosive with him on the court.

At least they rushed the floor following a victory.

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Feb 14, 2006 -> 07:03 PM) They want him to be drunk so bad they can taste it. Here's the deal Kap, He almost certainly wasn't drunk. He almost certainly thought the victim was a small bird. I don't think he was drunk. I also think the press' (specifically the White House press corps) general reaction is just sour grapes from being "scooped." The problem is, Cheney & Co. didn't report it, making it seem like they thought if it didn't get reported, it didn't happen -- sort of like not showing pictures of caskets coming back from Iraq -- but it did happen. And it was left to a civilian witness to report the incident to the press. Even though it seems like everything is on the up-and-up, the slow and meandering path the news took to reach the masses gives the press, and the general public, the room to make such accusations as Cheney being drunk and cover-ups. I ran into a tree with my car when I was 17 on Christmas eve. It was a block from my house. There was no property damage, save a few pieces of bark missing from the tree. Took the car to the body shop on Christmas Eve, who unbeknown to me called the police reporting my car had been in an accident... Then Christmas afternoon, I've got two officers at my front door asking me to come down to spend the afternoon at the station house discussing my accident. They grilled me about drinking and driving, which I wasn't doing, but I had no real way of proving otherwise. I left myself open to the questioning by not reporting a 1-car accident that featured no property damage. -- I ended up having to pay a fine, and got issued a ticket for leaving the scene of an accident. I realize that Cheney & Co. notified the proper authorities, but by not going the extra step and alerting the press they left the door open to all types of criticism. Is it right? probably not. But there's a way to avoid it, and that's to avoid all appearances of impropriety.

And now it's a race to bring up their Myspace pages... GO!

QUOTE(CanOfCorn @ Feb 14, 2006 -> 03:22 PM) Ummm, no. It's always here in Austin. And it's always the week of Uni. of Texas' spring break. End of March-ish. It's REALLY expensive to get a badge. And the wristbands, from what I've heard, don't always help. but, there's so much music, if you are a music fan, it's worth it. This year, from what I've heard, Morrissey will be giving an interview AND doing a set. The Flaming Lips will be here and the featured artist is Neil Young. There's also a North by North East festival somewhere in Canada in September or October. ADDITION: And I was at the first Lolla' at the old New World Music Theater (now Tweeter Center). I was sooo hungover that I fell asleep during Rollins' set. I still kick myself to this day. But whoever made them open wasn't thinking to straight. I've been to SxSW twice in the late 90's. It's tough to see anyone who has any type of buzz entering the event. I was just joking around. I picked the most uncool place on earth so as to not require the green text. I guess I was wrong.

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Feb 14, 2006 -> 10:49 AM) Austin is my list of places to visit soon. Very cool music scene. Is South By Southwest there this year?? I think they moved it to Orlando this year.

QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ Feb 13, 2006 -> 08:14 PM) I haven't heard much. You've been the only one I ever heard say Jay Wright. On Saturday, Andy Katz said John Beilein and Tom Crean would be high on IU's list if (when) the spot becomes open. I'm pretty sure other names will come out later on. couSTEVEALFORDgh!

I may be the only Soxtalk poster with first-hand curling experience. The ice I played on was s***ty though, slow and sloped away from the middle, so I can't speak for it's difficulty at the Olympic level. Heads, you need to sign up for intramural curling.

QUOTE(TLAK @ Feb 11, 2006 -> 07:35 AM) Interesting points. For the heck of it, let's see how Javier fared in games where Chris Widger was the starting catcher. This, of course, is 'before he began to struggle'. I won't make anymore smart ass comments, but leave it to you to draw your own conclusions.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Feb 11, 2006 -> 07:55 PM) Yes, Tinsley and Fizer were both juniors. Are you thinking of Dedric Willoboughy? I honestly can't remember back too far? You mean your #22 isn't in honor of the great Willoboughy?
