QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Feb 11, 2014 -> 07:23 AM) Weber wins KSUS first big 12 title in 30 years and now he's having a great year with a roster that looked like a complete catastrophe coming into the year. He's been an amazing hire for KSU so far and Illini fans sure are butt hurt over it especially with Illinois being awful. I think a lot of the success is due to getting back in bed with Soxtalks other favorite coach Chris Lowery. Weber was good his first few years at Illinois too, I guess 2-3 more years from now be interesting to see the state of both programs

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Jan 30, 2014 -> 04:33 PM) Meh WOW was just EQ easy mode. And SWTOR is free right now, if anyone on this board has any interest send me a message. Im currently playing and could give you some tips. I just wish that there was 1 game that was like old eq, where s*** was actually hard and there were consequences when you f***ed up. Dieing in EQ was almost too much of a b**** especially if you were in the middle of nowhere. I guess after Planes of Power came out that made it a lot more easy to get around still that game was too rough to become mainstream today, people like it easy.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jan 26, 2014 -> 05:04 PM) I grabbed a used one off eBay a few weeks ago. Yeah, I'm not even a Seattle fan and I kind of want a Sherman jersey. Don't care what people say as long as he is producing he is one of my favorites. Unless he talks bad about Alshon Jeffery.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jan 26, 2014 -> 02:52 PM) You seriously comparing the Bears D in that last super bowl to this Seattle D? LOL Advanced DVOA stats have this Seattle D ranked higher than the 2000 Ravens. It'd been nice if that Bears D had a healthy Mike Brown and Tommie Harris going into that game. The Seattle's D definitely is great though and even though your fandom of them is annoying I find myself rooting against Manning.

QUOTE (bmags @ Jan 25, 2014 -> 10:03 AM) Its not dumb, otherwise Kareem Abdul jabar is GOAT I'm not following that and comparing accomplishments from a player in a team sport to someone in an individual sport again doesn't make much sense.

QUOTE (bmags @ Jan 25, 2014 -> 12:33 AM) Has anyone been to sw open in cincy and how expensive were tix? Also Federe is still better than Nadal for sheer creativity and beauty that is unmatched. That's just dumb, you aren't the best for looking the prettiest. Federer started his run when the 2nd best player was Andy Roddick, Nadal started his run against prime Federer and continues it with Murray/Djokovich who are both incredible players. I don't know if he will get to 17 but if he wins every open twice something Federer hasn't and makes it to 14-15 while dominating Federer head to head I'd call him the best.

Nadal wins the Australian Open and even if his total slam count is below Federer I'd make the case he already has passed him as GOAT.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jan 21, 2014 -> 07:42 AM) Nadal, Murray, and Federer are all on the other side of the bracket too, although Wawrinka is playing some great tennis. If Radwanska can get past Azarenka tonight, this will be her best chance yet to finally win a major. (I know, no one cares) I see Murray handling Federer pretty well setting up a Nadal/Murray semi and Wawrinka/Berdych should be a great matchup too. Both those guys can easy beat whoever they face in Nadal/Murray/Federer.

He did look unstoppable a couple years back, wawinka(sp?) has given him 2 tough matches last year though so not a big surprise. Hopefully this opens the door for Nadal to win number 14.

QUOTE (ptatc @ Jan 19, 2014 -> 11:26 PM) Still at Stanford. Still got into the school. Still an accomplishment. Is it much of an accomplishment when you are good at football or basketball? Don't know how strict Stanford is when it comes to that.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jan 14, 2014 -> 06:17 PM) Mix this with the "super" teams, and the NBA is just a garbage product now a days. Hopefully whoever takes over for David Stern can fix it up. Imo I'd give every non-playoff team equal chance in the lottery most teams wont tank when they are a potential playoff team. Not sure how you go about fixing super teams besides making a 1 max contract per team allowed that is significantly more than the next available contract a team is allowed to offer.

Yeah I've just officially gotten to point where I dont even want to watch their next few games.

Why not just amnesty boozer now if they clearly are tanking this season now?

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Dec 31, 2013 -> 05:25 PM) I liked both movies, I think I liked the 2nd one better. I just hope they don't break the 3rd book in to 2 movies as seems to be the trend now a days. They already decided to break it in to two movies, first half of third book is very boring so don't know how that will work. Can you pm me the site you use btw.

It's to bad we never got the silva/Pierre super fight and now there would be no point in a silva/jones fight. Oh well, he he a good career even if he definitely was too cocky in the ring.

QUOTE (ptatc @ Dec 25, 2013 -> 12:39 PM) It's not a bad commute. My wife does Manhattan to Schaumburg and has for 12 years. 355 makes it very doable. Well that's good to hear, yeah I'd definitely give it a month or 3 of commuting before deciding if I needed to move just the thought of wasting an hour or so in the morning and evening is a bit sad.

I think it's be better to give all non playoff teams an equal shot at the first overall pick and so on after that.

Just applied for a job that will double my current pay and I'd be doing pretty much the same thing I do now but actually less work overall. My close friend has a very good relationship with the hiring manager so hoping that goes a long way in getting me an interview and eventually the job. Only downfall is I live in Schaumburg and the job is in Minooka while my current job is 10 minutes away. Probably won't hear anything till after holidays but given how much I hate my current job really hoping this ends up happening.

So that is at least 10 points Jay has already cost the Bears this game, pretty sure he is sealing his fate.

I feel like he got his 10,000th post the same way Ricky Davis got a triple double in the NBA.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Dec 8, 2013 -> 11:34 AM) And Stanford. (Yes I realize they have that awful loss to Utah) but I think they could beat any team in the country. Baylor got blown out in their 1 loss and Stanford like you said to lost to Utah. Ideally it'd be 8 teams but I wouldn't feel bad for the programs that were left out if we had a 4 game playoff this year.

QUOTE (Jake @ Dec 8, 2013 -> 11:02 AM) The whole thing is illegitimate without a playoff, and a playoff that has more than 4 teams in it I think Michigan St, Alabama, Auburn, and Florida State would be pretty legitimate this season.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Dec 3, 2013 -> 07:40 PM) I didn't get that impression at all. Cuse looks much more athletic. Ray Rice for Illinois reminds me so much of David Lighty. He might be the only reason Illinois has a chance to get into the big tourney. Next season with the freshmen hopefully improving and transfers being elgible along with Rice should be a good enough team to even win 3 games in March.

Maverick Morgan is terrible all around from what I have seen of him. Think Nunn/Hill will have decent and poor games and Tate should always contribute some but Morgan at least his freshmen season seemingly is just going to be a big body to put out there and just hope he doesnt foul too much.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Dec 2, 2013 -> 06:06 PM) I think Florida and ILL would love some Zook right about now. If Illinois could have Zook with the current O-Coord and past D-Coord and give him ample job security things probably would be looking pretty good for them.
