The only one that I really see as a concern is health. Our pitchers will be fine, if healthy. Yes, we gave up some bop, but it's going to be impossible for this team to still not have power. The only thing that scares me about that is that we don't have as much as before. Therefore, if health is a problem with say a Frank, Rowand, or Konerko, it could hurt a bit. I just see everything going back to health.

This bracket's such a mess compared to the NCAA, because I can't tell what date the future games are to be on. I guess I just have to play eenie miny mo. However, if we're still playing, and if our next 2 games are after Sunday, I think I'll be there.

Better not change anything. As Alex said, DJ, Vaden, and Killingsworth wouldn't be playing here next year. It'd probably be the same with Bracey, but he's back in my dog house. I think Bracey's going to be back, because he's certainly not going to the NBA. His only choice for playing pro will be overseas. He's just so damn consistent. It's just a small thing too, but I thought it was cool how the whole team shaved their head for the BTT game. Ewing didn't, but he at least did something to change it up. Bracey was the only one to not really do anything along those lines. It's a small thing, but it just kind of shows that he's not all team. Who knows. We can survive without Bracey. Strick and Vaden can pick up his points up top. However, we can be fine with Bracey next year. Bracey will look very good next year, because he won't be THE guy next year. I'm ready for Thanksgiving '05.

If that's the case, this should NOT be the title of the thread...This is like those stupid magazines in the grocery checkout lanes.

Only thing I hate about this is that the media can spin this in a bad way since Frank won't be there. Unfortunately, that's nothing new though.

Thats almost a no brainer to me, I'm just wondering if others see it different. Not only because of what I had to see them do here, but I picked Charlotte.

Another thing...Kind of ironic how this worked out. Rick Hartzell the ref/AD of Northern Iowa, had the controversial calls in the IU game against Wiscy. IU and Northern Iowa were both bubbles at the time; funny how they drew Wiscy.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Mar 14, 2005 -> 10:11 PM) Going out on a limb there greasy I wish I could, but I don't see much else happening. Some could argue that I have a couple "sleepers," being that a lot of people don't think Washington even is worthy of their number 1.

1-Illinois 2-UNC 3-Wash 4-Kentucky

We just got rid of AOL. It was kind of in coincidence of our internet being down here at the house since Friday. AOL's been a pretty s***ty product, so we figure we can live without it.

He's coming back. We'd lose a lot of personnel if Davis was fired, and we're going to be very good next year. I've gotten tired of all this talk about Davis' coaching status. Not on this board, but by the media. It really hurts the school a bit when Mike Davis has been the interim coach for 5 years...

QUOTE(aboz56 @ Mar 14, 2005 -> 05:47 PM) I believe this would have happened last year as well, except that IUPUI went dancing. Valpo was the one that saved the streak last year.

QUOTE(aboz56 @ Mar 14, 2005 -> 05:48 PM) I'm going to go to the IU game wednesday versus Vandy. Since IU is on spring break, should be pretty easy to get good seats and I still have my student id, luckily. Bah...I don't even know if I could stomach that. I'm just glad our guys are still playing some games to possibly end the season on a better note.

Alright....Finally back. Internet's been down at the house, and I've finally got over the flu. Looks like I have some catching up to do...

The Cheat.... Guess it wasn't you, but still damn good.

I hope ND gets in if we don't. There's been a team from the state like every year since 1970 IIRC, and that's in major jeopardy this year.

QUOTE(Texsox @ Mar 9, 2005 -> 04:50 PM) NOTE FROM CHRIS: Men's Health magazine recently named Ft. Wayne, IN, as the country's dumbest city -- just barely beating out Newark, Las Vegas and Corpus Christi. I get to go back to the dumbest city in America today. Starting spring break a day early.

QUOTE(El Piervizdyeguchansodnik @ Mar 9, 2005 -> 11:52 PM) Someone left a Herald on our desk the other day and I get to the class and see Cub love all over the particular page. I also notice someone had wrote "Cubs suck", and another person wrote "damn straight" and I added my two cents and wrote "yeah they do". Then I just left it there. Cub girl walks in, sees the ad for Cub breacelets and says " I want one" then sees what the Sox fans wrote and I start laughing and she asks if I'm a Sox fan, I say "Yes" and she says "why" and I say "the same reason I'm not a Cubs fan", I get a blank face staring back, and I say "Frank Thomas is the s***; thats why, I never liked the Cubs and their lovable loser attitude, I just loved watching Frank beat the s*** out of the baseball" and she's all like "well you should be a Cub fan cause they're gonna win the World Series" so I just turn the other way laughing. Then some dude hears our conversation and says "frank thomas sucks". No one disses on my boy Frank. SO I say "Yes, someone with a .450 on base percentage sucks soooo much". He obviously knew what OBP was because he was like "whoa". Then he says "Yeah but he strikes out too much" Me: "..........Care to tell me how he strikes out too much if he walked more than he struck out?" Silence occurs. Him: "Todd Helton is better." Me: "Todd Helton is in his prime. Frank Thomas was a million times better in his prime. Think about it... a young Frank Thomas in Coors Field..." Him: "At least Helton doesn't strike out as much." Me: "You are full of s***." I f***in hate idiots. Like the new sig too!

ND goes down to Rutgers 72-65....Not good for their bubble status...

Here's the cover...

Why's the Royals dude have pinstripes? Did they change their uniform, or was that a lazy photoshop job?
