QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Oct 31, 2015 -> 03:59 PM) He's 3-4 at YSU, they won't be ranked next week after losing to SIU. They've played some decent teams but nothing screams impressive to me there. They're beating a ranked Western Illinois team right now so I doubt that would drop them out of the rankings.

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Oct 31, 2015 -> 03:50 PM) Not sold on that, he isn't exactly doing well at YSU (granted it's year 1) and I'm not exactly sold that his success at NU was because of him and not just being Nebraska. Youngstown State is nationally ranked under him and I'm 100% convinced of the latter. I was mostly convinced of that before the year started (seriously, who the hell wants to go to Nebraska?) but I don't think it could be more clear than now.

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Oct 31, 2015 -> 01:47 PM) As much as I wanted us to believe in the Fighting Cubits this year I never understood the fascination in sticking with him longterm. Bring on the Babers. The Pelinis please

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Oct 31, 2015 -> 01:31 PM) Remember how excited everyone was that Wes Lunt was transferring to Illinois? He has the worst receiving I can ever remember Illinois having to be fair. Even Geronimo Allison, who puts up big numbers by default, is awful.

Reportedly the Cubs #1 target. Good luck.

QUOTE (LDF @ Oct 30, 2015 -> 11:50 AM) ok for those who love films.... i need some help i watched a movie 2 yrs ago. it was pretty bad editing. it centers around a serial killer and takes place in a hospital a guy wakes up from a coma and 2 patient seems to be around him.... later the patient is the serial killer and needed to get to this conscience and get some info on a group of people he has jerry rig with explosives. the ending shows the patient in some demonic kind of self unkempt hair/beard/nail..... now the movie was pretty bad on how it was film but the premise had a lot of possibilities. any help on the title of the movie. The Cell

Watched a lot of horror flicks this month. I'll give a brief review if anyone wants to watch any the next two nights for the holiday. All of the these are on Netflix/Amazon Prime except the Visit which I saw in theaters and It Follows which is on demand. The Seasoning House- Girl runs around a prostitute house. Very uneasy to watch and not very good in the least. PASS Haunting of Silver Falls- By the books horror movie. Okay watch, but forgettable. PASS Friday the 13th Part 7- I'm not sure why I watched this. PASS Monster Squad- Pretty much everything great about both 80s corniness and low budget horror. I'm surprised this isn't more of a cult classic. Its fantastic. WATCH Nightmare on Elm Street- Obvious classic. Hasn't aged well. Watch if you haven't, but can't really recommend it either. PASS Exeter- Not any good. PASS The Visit- It's not the Sixth Sense or Unbreakable. But it's better than everything else he's put out. Pure M Night fun. WATCH Deliver Us from Evil- Lots of modern takes on exorcism movies. Decent cast for a horror flick. Enjoyable. WATCH Dark was the Night- Creature Feature. Highly flawed. They show the creature in the first scene then spend the rest of the flick hiding it. WTF? Way too long and also an unnecessary religious subplot that goes nowhere. PASS The Hole- Fantasy/horror, sort of kid's flick about a group of kids who find a mysterious pit in the basement. This one is lots of fun. WATCH Mockingbird- Absolutely loved this film. Found footage style pitting 3 different people in some strange gameshow. Was hooked from start to finish. WATCH Mr. Jones- Man the premise of this film is so so good. So is the first 25% of it. Then it just goes completely off the rails resulting in one of the worst movies I've ever watched. Terrible. PASS It Follows- The movie everyone has been talking about this month. Very very torn on it. Many think it's a modern classic. I wont say much on it, but yeah I think it's very very flawed, but i'd watch it anyways to see what the fuss is about. The atmosphere of the whole thing is as good as I've seen in a movie, I'll say that. WATCH Dead Sience- Someone took the dummy from goosebumps and made a terrible movie out of it. PASS They- Wes Craven is a legend. This movie does not showcase that. His worst. PASS Creep- Very very unsettling. Unique film. Extremely well acted for a low budget horror film. Give it a watch WATCH Would You Rather- Rich psycho pushes to the limit what one would do for money. Fun to see what the characters choose and dont. WATCH Tales from the Darkside- 80s horror anthology schlock. Awesome! WATCH Halloween 2007- Rob Zombie gave the classic proper treatment. Very graphic though, youve been warned. WATCH Let Us Prey- Jailhouse is terrorized for the night. I think they came up with that concept than wrote the script after. Not good. PASS A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night- This has been talked about a lot recently because it's a feminist Iranian horror film. Thats cool and all. It's also the single worst movie I've ever seen. Holy crap is it bad. PASS Gremlins- Critters is way better. PASS Butterfly- Sadistic crazy mom tries killing some kids. Film makers thought it was a smarter concept than it actually is and decided to jump time back and forth. Results in an absolute mess of a film. PASS ABC's of Death 2- 26 short films from 26 different directors (some a lot lot better than others). Everything is so completely different and it makes for an awesome film. I think it's my favorite on the list. I need to watch the first one now WATCH Circle- 30 stereotypical characters condemned to die and have to decide who lives. Really fun watch, but I could do without the political overtones. WATCH

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Oct 29, 2015 -> 05:23 PM) Isn't their GM the owners son in law? Their prez is but they haven't had a gm since Jennings took the manager job. And Jennings was just officially fired.

Miami?

Yeah you definitely keep Putnam especially. If keep him over Avi at this point. Although Yeah you keep all 3.

Surprised Avi had not already passed super 2 status.

Groce needs to go period if we miss the tournament this year. We fire Weber for missing the tournament 3 times in 9 years (right move) then we have to fire Groce for missing 3 straight years too. You can recruit a top 25 class to Illinois with your eyes closed.

Man the jerking off of Hoiberg on 670 today is out of control.

Pretty shocked they aren't going with familia

Stadium is empty. Thanks Obama?

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Oct 27, 2015 -> 06:48 PM) I have DirecTV and it's supposed to pour tonight. Damn it I've been waiting for this for so long and now I won't get to see it. Can't believe that's a thing in 2015

I think Bulls finish closer to the 6th see than the 1st. They will win tonight though.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Oct 27, 2015 -> 12:12 PM) .... What was chat crew? And if it was so great, why is it gone? Instead of game threads, soxtalk hosted an irc chat you could use. Although it often went wildly, wildly off-topic and became less and less about the games and more about other stuff. Wonder what Katie is up these days

QUOTE (shysocks @ Oct 27, 2015 -> 12:14 PM) One of my favorite annual traditions just went up - Grant Brisbee's worst ads of the MLB postseason. Omitted but thankfully discussed in the comments: the GMC commercial that tells us a pitcher who can paint the corners is known as a Rembrandt even though NOBODY HAS EVER SAID THAT GAAAARGH Link didn't work for me. But I'm guessing Viagra and Sportslock featuring a guy naked on the toilet and the other one of two people f***ing. Seriously, wtf. When did mlb get so low brow? Why even allow those commercials. That's stuff I'd expect on some late night tv. Can't imagine all the fathers watching the games with their son and those 3 same commercials coming on every half inning. Ugh.

Chat crew was the best part of soxtalk.

How is he eligible? Don't you have to be on the 40 man berode rosters expand? Also don't get it. You'd think someone like that would be a pinch runner, but Gore is one of the fastest players out there so it's not that. Guess Zobrist's injury is way way worse than thought?

Any guesses on the WM card? Main event: Shield Triple Threat- use Brock and rock to draw and showcase your future in the main event in front of 120k. Rock vs Brock- Aforementioned big draw match Undertaker vs Bray 2- stable match at survivor series (don't know who will be kane and taker's partners though). Taker puts over Bray finally, retiring in front of the hometown crowd and giving the guy taking his place a rub. He's old school. I think he'll lose his last match. Sting wanted to, too. John Cena vs ADR for the US title- rematch. Long history there. Vince is desperate for a latino star so he'll want his project high on the card in Texas. Kevin Owens vs Daniel Bryan- This would be great. Although probably won't happen for more reasons than 1. Hhh, new day, maybe sting will be somewhere.

QUOTE (nitetrain8601 @ Oct 26, 2015 -> 09:34 PM) Yeah I do. Or please cite to me how they beat out Kansas for Cliff Alexander. Or how they beat out other teams for Jalen Brunson, Xavier Simpson, Carlton Bragg, Elijah Thomas and Jawun Evans. Don't worry, I'll wait. I guess Im not seeing the correlation between a tulane recruit and those kids. Illinois is about a safe as bet as they come for a top 15ish class. They are recruiting fine.

Can't believe you wouldn't want this job. Francona has won a world series and is 3 for 3 being over .500 in Cleveland. No one is else is getting that job soon. Sox job you could have as soon as May 1st. My only thought is he thinks he'll get interviewed for a head job this offseason and the sox said they wouldn't release him for that since this an important hire for them.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Oct 25, 2015 -> 11:22 PM) Del Rio is meh to me. In the Sheamus category of a very good worker but super boring. Taker-Brock was very good, closing angle I'm guessing is leading to Wyatts vs brothers of destruction and reigns/brose but I guess we'll see. I was thinking Rollins was going to get Reigns next but after the closing angle I have no clue where Seth goes from here. ADR has been amazing in other promotions since he left, so I have high hopes he's revitalized his career. He's also AAA champ right now. Sucks for them I guess.
