QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Feb 5, 2014 -> 04:41 PM) SD brothers leftThat's use of academic reasons, from what I read they are coming back still, maybe that's wrong. Doesn't Ward have a signing day event? When players leave due to academics I think it very rarely works out that they return. That's especially true for far away JCs. Not only do their shoddy grades have to clear but now they can also be recruited again since their LOIs don't apply until enrollment. I highly doubt we see them again but we will see. I hope Ward comes.

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Feb 5, 2014 -> 04:36 PM) Wait what? I hadn't heard any of this.... The Stone Davis brothers have left campus. We know how that goes. Doubt they ever return. The one bro is definitely a big loss Jihad Ward the best player in the class is rumored to be wavering to WVU. Who knows but he hasn't sent in his LOI.

Sounds like Illinois is going to get spurned on signing day by some of the best parts of their already awful class. I cannot believe Beckman still has a job.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Feb 5, 2014 -> 03:38 PM) Can't disagree with much here. I still say they should start Nunn and Hill in place of Ekey and Bertrand. The rotation of Abrams-Rice-Nunn-Hill-Egwu is your best run and gun team. Even if they give up baskets, who cares. They score points. People on twitter last night were saying Hill's game is the reason why he shouldn't start (couple of bad shots, could of bad fouls, and some bad defense). But how is Bertrand or Ekey any better? Bertrand sucks. I don't care if he scores 20 in a game, he sucks. He continues to take awful shots and turn the ball over like a freshman at the worst possible time. He is the definition of momentum killer. Bertrand is playing really well. The only player who can say that. He's shooting 48 percent during this losing streak and everyone else is in the low 30s. Doesn't turn it over that much. That said I don't care if you bench him for freshmen since it's a lost season.

Nunn committed 3 fouls on 1 possession. That might be a record. It could have been 4 too but they gave it to Abrams instead. 4 team fouls on one possession is hilarious too.

I watched some of it. Went about as you would expect.

They've been pretty damn good lately without Bledsoe.

Hope you picked a good movie

WWE confirmed every ppv at launch for the network. Including Over the Edge...

My theory would give us 5 top 50 wins. Minnesota, Missouri, Wisconsin and Ohio State x2. I think that would be enough for the first four.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Feb 4, 2014 -> 07:17 PM) is only has to win the next 7 or so games and they're right back in this thing. IT CAN BE DONE. Illinois most realistic tournament chance: -Win the next 6. All very winnable games. Tonight will be the toughest. That gets you to 8 Big Ten wins. Lose any of these and the dream is officially over. The other 5 are Penn State, Nebraskax2, Ohio State, @Minny -Lose at Michigan State. There's 0 chance here unless MSU can't field a team do to injuries. -Michigan at home. Not a believer in them but we probably aren't winning this anyways. -Lose at Iowa. No chance again here. -Pray to the basketball gods that Mizzou only loses one more regular season game and UNLV too. That would leave Illinois at 8 and 10 going into the conference tournament. Nebraska can't win away from home so we take a free win Day 1. Beat Ohio State day 2 and BOOM! We did it. We're going to the first four! Just have to have everything go right while also replacing a bad basketball team with a good one.

Road Dogg what a botch

Why are they tagging in a cage match? Scared to get DQd in a no DQ match?

Orton is pretty great in the ring I'll give him. Hopefully they give the match awhile.

Pretty incredible opening segment. WWE breaking the 4th wall a bit. HHH doing the YES chant. Bryan vs Punk should be a great match tonight. Going to be interesting to see what happens.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Feb 3, 2014 -> 05:26 AM) That wasn't true. Mayweather claims now he didn't bey the game. I don't believe that for a second.

We had a poster from England. Deploderer I think. He's gone now though. I think Joxer Daly is Irish.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Feb 2, 2014 -> 07:03 PM) Drug overdose, needle supposedly still in his arm when they found him. Wow. I'm going full tinfoil hat and going to say it was a murder by Scientology.

Groce finally looking like the bad hire I thought he was. Hope he turns it around.

I feel like Jackson always does that s*** at the end.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Jan 31, 2014 -> 11:13 PM) I am curious as to your opinion of the most overrated day in sports? The meat heads that countdown the days to mini camp are the worst. f***ing ugh.

Can't wait for baseball to start but this is the second most overrated day in sports.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jan 31, 2014 -> 06:09 PM) Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor and Jeremy Irons as Alfred cast in upcoming Superman/Batman movie. Some assistant must have read the "Cast Heisenberg" email wrong. But really, seems like an odd choice. He's a good actor though so I bet it works out

Also you forgot the no hitter
