Oh well...2 wins against ranked opponents but we stay unranked. Its all good in the hood. We'll just have to keep kicking butt.

QUOTE(IlliniKrush @ Jan 29, 2006 -> 10:37 PM) That's because i was in Iowa rushing the floor Whoa....we didn't do that on Saturday

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Jan 30, 2006 -> 12:41 AM) I thought his girlfriend was going to kick your ass friday night. Ya, I would have said something to her on Saturday about an Iowa win, but I like living

A teaser or short details are fine, but we are infringing their copyright by posting the full articles and that puts this site in a spot it doesn't want to be. In case you wonder where the longer thread went, I had to delete it. Just an FYI, so please be careful with what you post.

QUOTE(SnB @ Jan 29, 2006 -> 08:44 PM) that's the best advice i've ever given anyone. BTW, you should have come up to our room last night, keith was........"not feeling well" It was hilarious. Where was my damn phone call. Seriously, next year, i'm thinking some poker action is called for. Oh and the whole hair thing...I guess you'll have to wait till next time

QUOTE(SnB @ Jan 29, 2006 -> 01:23 PM) soxfest = crazy, fun weekend. There will be plenty of inside jokes and stories to go around in the next few days. Skimming over the comments, I can understand the complaints. The lines were crazy, the whole thing was jam-packed. So if you were going just for the fest, I could see the dissapointment. For me, it was just a weekend to hang out with a ton of good friends and just have a blast, with soxfest as the backdrop. Seeing Keith's disguise = priceless

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Jan 28, 2006 -> 06:44 PM) They really didn't mention Crede's back, but KW said Thome's back is a non-issue, that he was a lot more concerned about a couple of other guys backs which I guess would be Crede and Hermanson. As to the bullpen, KW seems to like the minor league free agents he signed, thinking one of them may be the next Kelly Wunsch, or Marte. Ozzie did say Munoz has good stuff, but no guts. And Kenny basically said his no guts comment was more no balls comment. Didn't sound like Ozzie thought much of Munoz. Talked about how great he thought the kid was a few years back, but that he's just never stepped it up.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Jan 28, 2006 -> 02:26 PM) Today he expanded on it and said Owens had some sort of arm injury that has or will soon heal. They are supposedly going to stretch his arm out in spring training. KW said today that Jerry Owens is ready to play in the big leagues. Sounded like BS to me, but Kenny seemed to say CF. I think it was more in a bind. He did say that Owens can hit major league pitching right now and he sounded really confident about that. On Friday I remember him immediately saying that Anderson is the #1 option in CF.

QUOTE(IlliniKrush @ Jan 29, 2006 -> 01:35 PM) Wow, what a brutal loss for IU at Minnesota, didn't expect to see that one I didn't see ya last night otherwise I'd have had to make some sort of Iowa comment to you.

QUOTE(Steff @ Jan 26, 2006 -> 04:57 PM) It was a headband.. not a hat. And I'm sorry.. but that was not even close to as hysterical as someone having to have EMS called on them cause they couldn't handle their liquor... :rolly Very true. And thank goodness for White Palace runs where we turn a normal car into a clown car How we manged to fit everyone I still don't know, but it was worth it.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Jan 25, 2006 -> 05:55 PM) I just hope the Hawks go somewhere where I can keep hating them. I do remember you telling me how you've grown to like Sanders and Clark.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Jan 26, 2006 -> 12:48 PM) Muhammed certainly looked like a #1 receiver 2 years ago when Steve Smith went down for the whole year and Delhomme and Muhammed played catch the whole year. Even last year where he led the freaking league in receiving and td's, IIRC. Maybe he was 2nd in receiving yards.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Jan 26, 2006 -> 12:05 PM) it was mentioned awhile ago, and makes alot of sense to me. Agreed. I just hope people don't overpay him due to his playoff run. I think they will. Kind of like how Az Hakim got way overpaid.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Jan 26, 2006 -> 05:14 PM) Hawks just traded Spacek to the Oilers for some Finnish Winger e.g Salary Dump. Good riddance. Now if only Wirtz would sell the franchise for a box of donuts (ie salary dump). Well plus they could get some damn tasty glazed or jelly filled. Obviously not Krispy Kreme good, the Hawks don't have that type of talent.

QUOTE(SoxFan101 @ Jan 26, 2006 -> 05:18 PM) Steff this "child" is an highschool id say thats past the innocent stage.....and this "child" was the one making the hissy fit about not having a social life because of omg HOMEWORK! While it amazes me that a parent would do their kids HW and sickens me at the same time.... saying an "innocent child" is a bit much. A lot of posters here are in highschool or just their 1st/2nd year of college and I wouldnt call them innocent children. Stupid WHARRIS being on the sports know it all poll instead of me! Good point. I honestly can say if my parents told me they'd do my work I'd of told em to piss off. Its a thing called morals and having someone else do your work while you take credit for it, well its just not cool. Now all the admins and mods are gonna come running and saying how I really do nothing, but its true

QUOTE(Steff @ Jan 26, 2006 -> 11:55 AM) http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060126/ap_on_.../border_tunnels SAN DIEGO - Authorities said they discovered more than 2 tons of marijuana in a cross-border tunnel that began near the Tijuana airport and ended inside a warehouse on the U.S. side. The 2,400-feet long passageway is longer than most of the 21 cross-border tunnels that have been discovered since authorities began keeping track after the Sept. 11 attacks, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials said. "It was like being in a cavern or a cave," said Michael Unzueta, customs special agent in charge in San Diego. The tunnel's discovery prompted the U.S. Attorney's office in San Diego to open a criminal investigation, said Lauren Mack, a spokeswoman for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Mexican authorities found the entrance about 100 yards south of the border on Tuesday, and officers on the U.S. side found the exit Wednesday. Mexican officials allowed reporters and photographers, including an Associated Press photographer, into the tunnel late Wednesday. The tunnel was about five feet wide and high enough for an adult to stand inside, had a cement floor, and lights mounted on one of the hard soil walls. It was equipped with a pulley system on the Mexican side. Four tunnels have been discovered this month in the Tijuana-San Diego area, including more primitive tunnel that was also found Wednesday when a U.S. Border Patrol vehicle struck a sinkhole. It was on its way to Leon Lett.

QUOTE(Steff @ Jan 26, 2006 -> 05:06 PM) Good Lord.. I'm still shaking my head over this one. This thread should be locked, and thrown far, far away. That people like this exist.. people that think that it's better to teach lying and cheating, is beyond disgusting. A child needs help.. and this thing ignores it. A child folks... an innocent child who has pulled the ultimate short straw in the daddy lottery. So sad.. so very sad. :headshake I blame the mom more. It seems all she cares about is what other people think. Juggs just needs to realize this and go out there and instead of caring what her wife things, do whats best for the daugheter...ie getting the kid into the special educational classes. If you know she needs help and you deprive of it, imo, its no worse than child abuse cause you got a shot at ruining the rest of her life. Hell for all I know thats already been accomplished, but a late start is better than nothing Juggs. I really hope you realize that. I realize I've been a dick in this thread, but its got to be said cause imo, what your doing is awful for your daughter. She may appreciate it in the short run, but its going to cripple her for the rest of her life.

Juggs if she needs help...get it for her. Its not worth your wife's satisfaction for your daughter to go one minute longer without getting the special education she needs. The longer you deprive her of that the longer you risk the chance of her becoming totally screwed up. The helps there for a reason and you all should utilize it. Your wife be damned, if she needs it, get it for her. No ifs and are butts. A situation like this isn't a time to spare peoples feelings, especially your wifes. I'd tell her to go piss off if she was gonna b****. No offense, but if she cares more about what other people think about her child than what she could do for her child, well than she's a pathetic mom to begin with and a pretty useless part of society. I understand having problems with raising children and I don't know anything about it, but your own pride/ego shouldn't get in the way of good parenting. She obviously cares more about herself than the kid and that shouldn't be the case. Talk with your daughter and tell her how you feel. No other way to accomplish it than putting it out on the table. I tell you one thing...its stuff like this that makes me appreciate my dad and mom and all they've done for me.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Jan 26, 2006 -> 04:04 PM) Just don't let Gage teach her grammar. You all laugh, but I own in school and writing.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Jan 26, 2006 -> 03:49 PM) Maybe she needs an IEP. Speaking as a former board member, this whole thing, if true, makes me throw up a little bit. I can't imagine a high school where a homework load totally prevents a social life. If she's in a private school, then evidently that wasn't the right choice. Seriously and if it did I wouldn't do the homework. Than again thats basically how high school went for me. I knew I could get A's on my tests so I skated by without doing homework (I'd halfass my projects but shockingly I'm a really good writer and can bs like no other). Ya, you'd all be surprised at the fact that I pretty much always get A+'s on papers (I don't edit or even look things over here). I'm ready for some slams at Fullerton Honestly its a matter of if you think your kid is smart, cause i don't think there are that many people that do all their homework in high school. The ones that don't, as long as they know what they want to do and realize whats necessary to do that will be fine. Since high school, where I had a low B average (3.3 or something) I've jumped up to a 3.77 or so in college with one semester to go. It was just a matter of me being lazy cause I thought high school's only part was to have fun with friends and of course prepare you for college. I did enough for that to happen and than turned it up a notch in college (Cause that helps ya for the rest of your life).

QUOTE(LowerCaseRepublican @ Jan 26, 2006 -> 02:22 PM) I see an easy solution. 1. Tell your wife to have a steaming cup of STFU. She should be happily smiling at family outings etc. that her husband can do grade school homework well. For her to lie that her daughter is actually earning those grades makes her an immoral 2. Tell your daughter that it is too damn bad that her social life is suffering because she can't/won't do her schoolwork. Boo f***ing hoo. Cry me a goddamn river. Look into other options like a tutoring program at the school or outside of school or put her in special ed programs and get her an IEP. I'd call you a retarded parent but I don't want to offend the mentally challenged. She can always be the cool kid on the short bus. Seriously Juggs. Help your kid out with the homework and knock it through her brain or see if she has some sort of learning disability. You doing everything for her is gonna get nothing accomplished and actually make things worse in the long run. If she does in fact have a learning disability, than if you have the funds or the school offers the program you are better off getting her in there now and starting to deal with it than letting her ride through high school and than find her way into the real world. Once she's there she's screwed, unless your a multi multi millionaire who has no problem paying her way through life. Sometimes as a parent you have to be mean. In the long run its better off for the kid. My assumption is that this has been a long standing issue.

I've made some of my precious time available for him between riding my high horse into town and standing on my pedestal. Then he goes over the colors I choose(which are correct) with his mom. Then they rub my feet, place flowers at my golden idol and praise me as I sleep. I know how you feel Juggs. POST.OF.THE.YEAR I was in tears.
