QUOTE(shipps @ Dec 29, 2006 -> 01:05 AM) For those that like Death Cab you should give The Long Winters a listen.Very good stuff. Thanks for that recommendation. Some good stuff. QUOTE(Capn12 @ Dec 19, 2006 -> 06:02 AM) I'm in a definate minority here I'm sure, but right now I can't get enough of "A Beautiful Lie" by 30 Seconds to Mars. The track "From Yesterday" had me hooked from day one, before it hit the airwaves. I think the Leto brothers, and their pals made a great disc last year, one I listen to alot. They are god awful live, but the album is very good, imo.

Who are your strange crushes?
QUOTE(G&T @ Jan 5, 2007 -> 10:37 PM) That woman in the Mercury car commercials. I have no clue what her name is. I'm totally with you on that one. QUOTE(Kalapse @ Jan 5, 2007 -> 11:52 PM) I love Figure it Out, they run episodes of it on Noggin, I try to catch it as often as possible. Believe me when thinking of Summer Sanders it's all about her Nickelodeon days, hair back and a tight orange T-shirt on that slammin' body of hers. I'd say there's quite a few late teen/early 20 year olds that are right there with you and I on the Summer Sanders infatuation. Alex Mack is another one of those Nickelodeon faves from back in the day. She was and still is insanely cute, once again nothing strange about liking her. Hell ya on Alex Mack!!!

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Jan 4, 2007 -> 10:58 PM) Well sir, that so called mid major had the exact same record as the big 12 in last years ncaa tournament. This season the Valley so far is 2nd in the Conference rpi where the Big 12 is 6th. The Valley is over .500 against the bcs conferences, the big 12 is not. And the Valley is 3-3 against your big 12 this year. You can call the Valley whatever you please but it certainly isn't acting like a mid major on the basketball court. Sorry Alex, but I think its hillarious you slam the Valley. They are a strong conference with some quality teams. Sure the top teams in the bigger conferences should beat these guys mosts nights, but thats not to say there aren't good teams in the Valley (of course there are and they are darn good and can beat a lot of the good schools in the power conferences, maybe not the great one's but the good and mediocre ones). First Iowa and ISU need to get past those guys before you even yap about being a final 4 team (at least this year). You are gonna lose and I don't consider a loss to Northern Iowa bad. We shouldn't have lost either game, but thats life and the Hawkeyes lost, oh well.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Jan 4, 2007 -> 07:27 PM) Heh, Steve Alford. Giving your superiors just enough to justify keeping you. Yes...he's gonna get his 300th win and we are 1-0 to open big ten season. I should add, if Cyrus Tate plays like that, Iowa is a borderline top 25 team. We basically need an inside presence to be a legit tourney contender (otherwise I see us being a bubble team at the very best). However, I think Tate has all the ability and if he plays like that both Smith and Haluska should get more open looks (and good god is Smith going to be an absolute superstar if he stays for 4 years).

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Jan 4, 2007 -> 11:35 AM) You don't always need killer talent to get yourself out of a slump. This Illinois team has had to deal with a lot to key players already this season. The McBride dui, and the Randle/Jamar injuries. I'd bet in another week or two Illinois will look much, much better. I bet this will be the first time Krush agrees with one of your ludicrious predictions

What are your DVR series recordings?
QUOTE(RockRaines @ Jan 4, 2007 -> 03:03 PM) I dont understand how they can do that. I don't get it either. I know tons of people that watch it every week. Its a freaking hilarious show. Somehow I'm pretty sure the poster Cali is to blame.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Jan 3, 2007 -> 06:01 PM) He actually may have a shot to even go before Quinn, given how the 2 have played this season. It may well depend on who the Raiders like better at the Combine. Ya those guys may go 1-2.

PS3
BestBuy.com is selling them online and shipping them immediately. The 60 Gig version is 599 (which is regular price). I returned my 360 and the two games I owned on it (NHL and Tiger Woods) and purchased the PS3. I decided its well worth it for the Blu Ray (plus it comes with the built in wireless and no xbox live subscription necessary...thankfully I didn't open my xbox live christmas present so I was able to return that too). Thought this deserved a thread for whoever is interested (as I'm sure there are a few people that are fans of the new Sony system).

5 things you don't know about me
1. I have progressively gotten worse and worse at golf since playing it a lot more beginning this summer. 2. I don't drink much for someone my age (not in terms of what I can handle, more in how often I drink). 3. I have learned that working because you have to sucks ass (as opposed to just a means to make some extra cash during college). Well maybe not work, but my career is far from fun. Maybe I should have said screw money and just done something I loved. 4. I graduated from Cal State Fullerton, Cuma Sum Laude (ironically I probably misspelled that and had plenty of terrible grammar in this post, LOL). 5. I am probably the most likelable arrogant prick that I know

Official NFL Thread
QUOTE(RockRaines @ Jan 2, 2007 -> 08:01 AM) Benson is so much better at this point, its become obvious to even the casual fan. Benson is a superstar/franchise back in the making and its been obvious for a while. That said Jones has played good most of the season and is so solid all around and well liked that it seems like they are going to wait till the off-season to make that move.

QUOTE(Cerbaho-WG @ Jan 1, 2007 -> 10:19 PM) Thom Brennaman is a baseball announcer and is easily one of the best in the business. Don't hate on him. And is also light years better at both football and baseball announcing than Joe Buck. I really enjoyed that Fox college football both (especially for there first real broadcast).

Great way to show we can run with the best team in the league. Still we could have won that game and there are no moral victories.
