QUOTE(aboz56 @ Mar 5, 2006 -> 12:10 PM) They're still out on Bracketology and rightfully so. s***ty RPI (58), terrible non-conference schedule, 1-5 vs RPI top 50 and they've beaten ONE team that'll be in the tournament. If they are in over any of the MVC teams who are on the bubble, complete bulls***. There are a lot of crap bubble teams that people are talking up just cause they are in down major conferences. I hope teams like FSU don't get in (unless they kick ass in the tourney) cause its gonna take away from better MVC teams.

QUOTE(My Dixie Normus @ Mar 5, 2006 -> 05:59 PM) The cap is revenue shared by players and owners. The amount of total revenue teams take in, including things like ticket sales and TV revenue, go into the pot. There is a percentage split, I think it is somewhere in the mid-50%s going to the salary cap now and the players want it over 60%. But as long as revenue continues to grow, the cap will too. This year is a bit different because the NFL signed a new TV deal that will boost the revenue pot bigger than normal years. Hey I just wanted to say welcome aboard. In your 3 posts you come off as a really knowledgeable poster. Plus you got a funny monicker. Glad to have ya here

QUOTE(SoxRock05 @ Mar 5, 2006 -> 11:48 AM) Thank you That should be fine.... I woiuldve thought there would me many more out there on the net somewhere but i guess not.. Thank you again. JiYea! What kind of sig are you trying to have? I just see a bunch of error codes.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Mar 5, 2006 -> 11:47 AM) Common sense. His stock will be higher in this weak ass draft than it ever can get, and another year in college might just make people come to their senses and realize Morrison doesn't have an NBA game. But you have a point, I've seen people make plenty of stupid decisions before, so you never know. If anyone would pull a Leinart it would be Morrison though. And yes it would be a stupid decision. Just like if I were Greg Oden and was guaranteed being the #1 pick (a year from now) and decided to stay another few years at OSU. Anytime I know I'm going in the top few picks and am going to get money I'm taking it.

Just want to point out that the main default skin will be back up tomorrow.

QUOTE(Gene Honda Civic @ Mar 4, 2006 -> 05:02 PM) It takes about 5 seconds of work to get those to stop showing up I think your right. I just have to go into the control panel for adsense right? And say I don't want the ad from there?

QUOTE(kyyle23 @ Mar 4, 2006 -> 04:57 PM) Did the server just go down momentarily? I got a blank white page with a PH NUKE sign in the middle, and it said the MySQL server is down for a few minutes. Wierd. Ya. We were making some quick changes to improve security. Just had to adjust some settings following them. It was us better protecting the site

QUOTE(WinningUgly85 @ Mar 4, 2006 -> 04:46 PM) ok I am now convinced that a cub fan hacked our site. I am seeing ads for a Wrigleyville Cub store. Unless thats always been there. Those show up from time to time thanks to google ads.

Changes made. Hopefully that solves everything.

If Iowa wins one game in the Big 10 tourney, than I think they deserve a 3 or at worse a 4. We've beaten more top 25 teams than almost any team in the country and are 11th in RPI.

You'll see some sort of database error or default logo, but its just due to some security stuff were taking care of to try and prevent any more hacks. Just wanted to give everyone a heads up.

What..no love for the Hawkeyes win over Wiscy today. Big time 2nd half and I'm feeling a lot better with the team clobbering PSU and than beating Wiscy by 15. Finished the season undefeated at home which was pretty cool. Now all I care about is being healthy come tourney time. Well that and combining my powers with Illini fans to root for an OSU loss.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Mar 4, 2006 -> 03:53 PM) did anyone call that asshole? Who?

QUOTE(kyyle23 @ Mar 4, 2006 -> 01:46 PM) so far the pages being transferred that I am seeing are www.clocklink.com www.google.blahbedeblahblah I will let you know if i see more. At least your back on. You'll see that stuff go away cause I'm getting absolutely zero holdups. In fact the thing is totally flying. Its just a matter of your browser re-cacheing some of the stuff.

QUOTE(Jordan4life_2006 @ Mar 4, 2006 -> 01:39 PM) A technical at that juncture of the game? Pathetic. It was blatantly obvious. The guy threw 2 different elbows, not just one. He should have been ejected as well. They reviewed it for a while before making the official call.

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Mar 4, 2006 -> 01:34 PM) GW beats Charlotte by 1, at home. And it was bulls*** That was an insane final 5.7 seconds. I thought that was the right call. That was retarded by Charlotte, but they deserved what happened.

QUOTE(SnB @ Mar 4, 2006 -> 11:00 AM) i've noticed it a bit too, though it's not transferring data from soxtalk, but rather the google thing. Its a little snag up on the google end of things. Every once in a while that or a hidden thing called big boards will do that, but they are totally safe and there is nothing wrong with that. Right now everything is golden. We've made some adjustments to block it and hopefully they will work.

I've changed the skins of the site temporarily as we are going to totally clean and rebuild the skin that was suffering most issues. We really apologize about this and hopefully we can get this damn thing protected.

RME, did you still get that after I turned the site back online?

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Mar 4, 2006 -> 08:30 AM) I didn't get an email. Thanks to knightini and alex I was able to get in and stop the emails from going out so only some members got them.

QUOTE(Middle Buffalo @ Mar 4, 2006 -> 08:29 AM) If you open it, but don't click on the link, are you at risk? No

You all might as well know, but if you ever plan on hacking this site. We will not take it lightly. I may be a moron when it comes to computers and may not be the most technologicaly savy web developer out there. But I have gotten enough evidence on this hacker and it will be reported to the authorities who will hopefully be in contact with him/her.

That email contains two malicious links. The site was hacked for the 2nd time in 3 days. It looks like I've found the potential hole they were getting through, but I'm going to be keeping a close eye. Everything will be revamped on the site security was ASAP. This is the first time the site has ever been hacked. We apologize and if anyone sees anything strange coming up from Soxtalk in the next few days, please ignore it. We do not send out emails nor do we have any sort of spyware or downloads that are required to view pages on the site.

I'll be at all 3.

QUOTE(nitetrain8601 @ Mar 3, 2006 -> 03:52 PM) Thank you. Defense keeps you in games, offense is needed to win them. Or has there been a team in basketball history that I don't know about that has won by the score of 0-0? The Pistons won a championship on defense. The Bulls won championships playing defense. The Spurs, etc. You have to play defense to win a championship. Obviously you need other intangibles and assets, but if you can play defense at the level the Bulls are capable of (and they will only improve defensively) than you will find yourselves in the playoffs year in and year out. And defense is even more important come playoff time. Obviously this team needs a scorer or two (a big guard and a PF/C). But they have money and draft picks to add those final two pieces. Plus Gordon/Duh/Noc as trade bait.
