Honestly, it's really not going to matter who's going to remain with Borch and Gload. Neither is really going to help or hurt us immensely. If they're getting major PT, something seriously went wrong.

QUOTE(MarlinFan84 @ Mar 8, 2006 -> 12:45 PM) It's been my experience that BCS teams dont want to play teams from the valley...you really think someone wants to go into the SIU Arena, or Qwest Center, or Carver Arena, or the UNI Dome...places where the home team almost always comes out on top? This dude says the Valley schools are ducking him? I say the BCS needs to grow some grapefruits and play the MVC. I have long wanted a MVC/Big 10 challenge, much in the same vein as in the ACC/Big 10 challenge, except all games on neutral courts(like the family arena in st. charles, MO), with the worst team in the big 10 from the previous season not able to compete. I have sent letters to the offices of both conferences. Detailed, well thought out, letters. The MVC is getting stronger and much more exposed(and overall play) without the BCS schools, so they might as well take their licks now before they get introduced come tourney time. It's mentioned earlier in the thread, but recently IU signed a contract with SIU to do a home/away/neutral deal. The first game being in Bloomington in the upcoming season, and the second at SIU, and a third game at a neutral arena. http://www.thesouthern.com/articles/2006/0...ts/10004880.txt

Gload's got to be the odd man out. We don't have a need for 2 backup 1B.

Good trade.

Finally got to listen to the podcast; solid stuff guys! Definitely a cool addition to SoxTalk.

QUOTE(aboz56 @ Mar 7, 2006 -> 09:17 PM) New sig up, what do you think Zach? Haha not bad. I can't find the link for it, but there was a cool poster type thing they did for the Sports page of the IDS on Monday, after the Michigan game, w/ a similar theme. It was a Wanted poster, kind of like the old western ones. It had his "victims" from the season, from Sheldon Williams, Dials, Brown, etc.

Haha that will never happen. I put myself on the line earlier, and almost screwed myself, because I didn't mention injuries. However, that ain't going to stop me from doing it again. If Isiah Thomas becomes coach of IU basketball for the next season, I will ban myself from SoxTalk. I highly doubt he'd be considered. Also, if it happen, it'd be a good thing that I were banned, because I wouldn't want to talk about it.

QUOTE(MUsoxfan @ Mar 7, 2006 -> 06:40 PM) Congrats are in order for Marquette's Dominic James Big East Rookie of the Year Welcome to SoxTalk!

Fixed.

Yeah, it'll still be done. It's done at just about any sporting event now, and Nancy's only doing the Sox games.

Haha Zags win.

LMU's going to have their shot now. Can't ask for more than that.

That Morrison steal was a lot cooler than the Duke one, since he didn't travel.

QUOTE(aboz56 @ Mar 6, 2006 -> 09:37 PM) Gastric bypass then IU? Haha sounds good to me. I'd love to have him, but his health is such a question mark.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Mar 6, 2006 -> 09:10 PM) My first real glove was a kirby puckett signature model. RIP Mine too. Definitely made me follow his career during the 90s.

Majerus f***in' rules: "The only French I want to know is Fry."

Yeah, I'd like our chances much more, if we can move from where we are. Lundardi has us at an 8 right now. I'd like to see us drop to the 10, or move up to the 7. That'd be a better spot for us to do something.

WOW. RIP.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Mar 6, 2006 -> 05:52 PM) So Digger keeps proving that he's a complete idiot and that he doesn't know what he's talking about. On pti saying the valley will only get 3, which isn't happening. I love watching digger on college gamenight get owned when they're talking about bubble teams cause he has no evidence to back up his claims. I love this image, stolen from salukitalk: Where's the Highlighter? I won't believe that's Digger, until I see a highlighter, matching his tie in hand.

That's a lackluster attempt at a winner thread. From now on, I want to see the following: Or you'll be dealt with.

I think Stuart Scott's random Big Up's to the White Sox on last night's Sportscenter, was what got us over the edge today.
