QUOTE(Steve Bartman's my idol @ Jan 23, 2006 -> 02:38 PM) I don't know the final figures, but the Sox made a s***tload of money in 2005. They have more than doubled their season ticket fan base. They have to had made millions on world series related sales. They cannot be hurting for money. (I hate when rich people "cry poor"!) More than doubled? Also, I'm pretty sure that teams share merchandising revenue. What else do you got?

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Jan 23, 2006 -> 02:34 PM) Plus the big 10 has the strongest RPI of all conferences which help. I don't know where Iowa went after the loss to your Spartans, but they were right outside the top 10 in RPI last week as well. Most of the big 10 conference is rated pretty high right now (via RPI). 6 Big Ten teams in the top 14 of the RPI.

QUOTE(WinningUgly85 @ Jan 22, 2006 -> 09:16 PM) hows this gonna work? Isn't President Bush an Astros fan? Just like his Dad. Doesn't matter. There's nothing personal about this tradition. It's just the President shaking hands with the players, and the players presenting a jersey to the President. Just a nice photo-op.

Hah weird. I never knew Joe Buck went to IU until Aikman said that. I still hate the guy, but a little less now.

Richard Jauron will be the next Bills coach. http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=2302255

Well at least the Colts always go out to the Super Bowl Champion every year....

I can't find the threads asking about this, b/c the search required to find it links everything to the Filibuster. However, I don't know if people noticed, but the Sox are scheduled to go to the White House the second week of February. Just something to look forward to!

QUOTE(Rex Hudler @ Jan 22, 2006 -> 09:27 AM) Hey greasy, do me a favor, NEVER change your avatar please. Haha! I'm so glad she does all the ESPN Big Ten games.

Happy Birthday to an IU alumnus!

Damn you Bush! I figured it was necessary since it's in the Filibuster.

71-58. UConn gets the road victory. They should be the new #1 team in the nation when the new rankings come out.

UConn up 61-55, w/ a little more than 3 minutes left. UConn is just so good. It's incredible to see Louisville still hanging around though. They don't have Dean, and it took them 17 shots before they made a trey. They don't have anyone besides their starters either; their bench has 0 points.

Tennessee does it!! They beat no-longer unbeaten Florida 80-76! UConn has a great shot to be #1 on Monday, if they take care of business in Louisville. They're up early in the first half. UPSET SATURDAY!

This game needs to be on TV. Florida and Tennessee tied at 66, timeout at 4:53. I'm going nutso watching this on the Sportsline.com scoreboard.

TENN'S UP 61-60 7:50 LEFT.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Jan 21, 2006 -> 08:32 PM) But I don't have your skillz. Damn straight. I ate good tonight. My friend took a picture.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Jan 21, 2006 -> 08:24 PM) So I walk into subway tonight and there is a sign that says "Out of Bread." :headshake You curse everything. You should have went hunting.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Jan 21, 2006 -> 08:15 PM) Nova beats Cuse by 15. Got some college gameday and then uconn-louisville, good stuff. I expect uconn to win this one pretty easily, but you never know with what has been going on today. I hope they do. I want UConn to be the #1. Florida's up 46-45 early in the 2nd half at Tennessee.

Wow, nice work. I'd be going crazy trying to put all that together. That'll be a nice reference now.

QUOTE(knightni @ Jan 21, 2006 -> 11:50 AM) I hope that that was meant to be in green. There is no Charlotte, South Carolina. Well the Knights are in SC.

What an ugly game. IU won 62-49 over rival Purdue. This was just a gritty game, and the refs just made it worse. I've never seen so many touch fouls in my life. You couldn't breathe on a player today. Shooting was poor, but our defense was on point. IU moves into a tie for first in the Big Ten at 4-1. Our next game is at Iowa on Tuesday.
