KHINAP Kris Honel is not a prospect.

Ya i completely forgot too. Was playing soccer and when I got back and just saw the computer I was like ahhh f***.

I saw it late last night and I was in the mood to see some serious badass action scenes but left thinking eh. It was basically just another movie. The problem was the director was f***ing horrible. The movie lacked the a smooth plot development and was just overall to choppy and that sort of directing prevented the movie from ever really having a climax of any sort. You waited for a legendary battle speach and didnt' get one, you waited for some sort of plot development (without being chopped up) and it just never happened. Get a good director and someone who could have made the script a little more made for a movie and I think you could have really had something. Still I enjoyed the fight scenes its just this movie could have been a very good movie but it just failed in certain areas.

QUOTE(ZoomSlowik @ Mar 16, 2007 -> 07:21 PM) Sounds good I guess, if he can deal with that. If he wants, you/him can talk to Steve about getting his old roster back... Ya, he'd like to have his roster back. That would work perfect.

Wow, the Hawks are f***ing terrible. They couldn't even pass the puck in the first period and Khaby gave up a weak goal to start the game but I actually felt bad for him as the game went on. Still, Lalime is our best goalie (or as I call him, the Laliminator) and should play more. We should have dumped Khaby on the Lightning when we had a chance (just get rid of that terrible deal) and lived with Lalime until our youngster is ready. Barker I like, had a monster hit and than got beat up by a couple Ducks and after that played soft. Duncan Keith is f***ing horrible, giveaway after giveaway and Seabrooke wasn't much better. Are these guys dumbasses, they have played enough in this league to get better. Havlat is amazing, makes moves and has no one out there to help him. Ruutu is solid and all around a pretty decent player who should become a good to pretty good player. Oh and Aucoin is a total pussy. At the end of the game, a Duck player challenge him to a fight and he f***ing ran to the bench. What a coward. All that said this game was a blast to be at and Koci is a man (Cocky as I call him) the guy stepped up and had a great fight at the end of the game. So many brawls and during the big mele near the net in the 3rd that Lalime got in for about 3 seconds Lalime decided to look over to Bryzgala but Bryz wasn't getting into any fight. So ya, Hawks are terrible. I want Skille and Toews up, Khaby gone, Aucoin gone (or waived) and a veteran defenseman (overpay if you must but someone that is actually good and knows how to play the game so he can actually teach our young defenseman not to be dumbs***s with the puck and skate all over the place and instead of passing and getting the puck up to the offense so we can get goals). Oh and dump and chase is a terrible system and I know we don't have skilled players but still what a joke our offense is. This team is still a long long way from being anything. Albeit this was against one of the premiere hockey teams in the league.

QUOTE(aboz56 @ Mar 16, 2007 -> 06:43 PM) The talk I heard all week was that the Big 10 didn't deserve six teams and so far they are 5-1, so I'd say they are proving themselves. I'll admit the big ten is playing good and I'm glad and I was as big of a big ten s*** talker as anyone (absolutely slamming my conference of choice the past couple weeks).

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Mar 14, 2007 -> 03:00 PM) You know full well someone will do it. Soriano is will be getting that type of money into his late 30's and while I think in terms of the contracts that were handed out this year, Soriano's wasn't near as terrible (in comparison with the others) but I'd rather pay Arod that type of money into his late 30's than Soriano considering Arod is the type of guy you can build your lineup around (although you still need a pitching staff; See Texas Rangers).

Great game with Oregon Miami going on right now. Miami is on an 8-0 run to make it a 3 point game with just a couple minutes left. Miami misses a 3 to tie it and now needs a miracle to send this thing into overtime.

Ya Greasy do that. These really long threads are bad for the server.

QUOTE(Rex Hudler @ Mar 16, 2007 -> 02:31 PM) Creighton not giving up after falling behind in OT. Funk buries a 3 to keep it within reach. By the way, count me in as one who doesn't like the format of splitting all the different regions into separate threads. I hate having to stop and start and stop and start to post comments about different games. One monster thread for all the discussion during the actual games would be nice. Than when no games are going on you can just discuss random stuff in these threads (related to the specific brackets).

Great play by Crede there.

Wow, what a game. Come on Creighton.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Mar 16, 2007 -> 12:11 PM) And interestingly, it's actually MLB.tv technology that the NCAA is using to broadcast this thing. Look at the bottom of the video screen...there's an MLB logo. Dang I never noticed it. Still you got to say one thing about mlb, they were definitely on top of things when it came to integrating the internet into there business.

QUOTE(Soxbadger @ Mar 16, 2007 -> 01:56 PM) Well Kam Taylor decides to earn his scholarship. Taylor seems to come up big. He hit a lot of clutch shots in the games I saw. Wiscy starting to look like they have things under control and I'd have to think that right now Texas is going to be really from a mental point of view.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Mar 16, 2007 -> 01:50 PM) If he is still fast, sure bunt and get on. But after a few groin injuries, how fast is he going to be. I want to see him go from 1st to 3rd and watch how he runs. That is more of a test of ones speed than bunting and running, or even a stolen base. The thing is he needs to have confidence in his speed and do the things that a speed guy will do. Lets see if he's healthy, if he is great, he's an asset as a leadoff hitter and if he isn't lets see him do what speed guys do (and if he isn't healhty he'll fail at it) and hopefully management makes the right decision and goes with someone else as the starter if thats the case. Pods made a nice running grab. He's looking at least 100%, whether that means he's got his old speed I don't know, but he's running confident and a confident Scotty could be much more like the Pods of 05.

QUOTE(IlliniKrush @ Mar 16, 2007 -> 01:36 PM) They haven't showed any of the LBSU/Tenn game, but I assume they are using a hockey power play format for each team as they cross half court. 185 pts with 5 minutes left? Ya, the score is just crazy. The ND game was a solid finish though.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Mar 16, 2007 -> 01:48 PM) Scotty is in midseason form. Call me crazy but I thought it was good that he was willing to bunt in his first game back. Plus I think he should bunt more anyway. Than again I'm far from a so called money ball guy.

Pods lays down a bunt, gets out, but I think its a good sign that he's willing to bunt and trust his legs.

Ozzie says Juan has walked more in spring training than he did the last two years of the regular season and he just drew a great walk (something I never thought Juan would do). Ozzie is also saying that he has talked to Juan about getting a higher OBP. Also said some nice things about Ersty.

Great having Kenny and Ozzie on with Hawk right now. Better yet...I'm at work and on my laptop half of the screen has the Wiscy game on, the other half has the Sox-Cubs game on. Uribe's having a great AB.

Wisconsin could blow a lot of brackets. They just aren't a top 4 or 5 team and they are the type of team that could lose to almost anyone (although they pull out pretty much every close game which is to there credit). Still Tucker is banged up, and Butch is not near 100%.

Wow that was a brutal call against Notre Dame. Should have definitely been a charge and not a block. Great finish to this game and its going to ruin a couple brackets in the pool I'm in (not mine though, although I did have ND winning this game). ND is toast....Winthrop going to be moving on. Up 7, with one more freethrow to shoot and just under 30 seconds left.

QUOTE(ZoomSlowik @ Mar 16, 2007 -> 10:07 AM) God damn it, still a player short. I'll let the admins add whomever they want, they'd get Steff's team... The final team is taken...my friend will sign back in and just use Steff's team instead of his old team.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Mar 15, 2007 -> 09:55 PM) Terrible. Awful. Did pretty well tonight except for Duke. At least I don't think I lost any Elite 8 teams yet. Ya, I made the mistake of having Duke in the sweet 16. The matchups really looked good for them, plus Coach K has been in the sweet 16 the last 8 or 9 years and while Duke isn't as good as usual they still are a decent team. Oh well as of now that is my only sweet 16 team thats a goner.

QUOTE(danman31 @ Mar 15, 2007 -> 01:48 PM) Butler is keeping it real in the 2nd half. The game against Maryland should be a good one. Hopefully Butler displays the 2nd half effort today as opposed to the 1st. After one day, I bow down to you
