QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Jan 15, 2014 -> 05:13 AM) Wrong. You do need a reason. As it's illegal to rush a field or court, you do need to try to make up some justification. Fun? Yeah, no. So you're against all court rushing then now right?

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Jan 15, 2014 -> 05:58 AM) It was ridiculous. I don't have to go to the school to evaluate it. The whole thing was overreaction central. So if it's fun, do it, it's college. That's the dumbest justification ever. And yeah, there is a standard. Anwouually, I do care that it's dangerous. There's no reason for any justification needed whatsoever. That's the whole point. It's probably drunk college kids celebrating. Oh my god, the horror. Why does anyone care? If you cared about the danger then at least tell me youre against every court rush no matter the "standard". At least that would make sense.

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Jan 15, 2014 -> 03:57 AM) I hate rushing the court flippancy. OMG RUSH THE COURT WE WON A GAME SO FUN I'M IN COLLEGE! It's dangerous, and it's stupid. Rushing is the only way to have fun in college? That was one of the most ridiculous floor rushes ever. It was not legit whatsoever. Lolwut Who said it's the only way to have fun in college? You don't care that it's dangerous or stupid. We've had this argument before and there's apparently some standard that needs to be met for a bunch of half drunk college kids to have the audacity to touch the hardwood.

I hate rushing the court elitism. They're college kids. Let them have fun. If they just beat Savannah State by 40 and want to rush the court than so be it.

Sox holding a "hitting camp" in AZ
QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Jan 14, 2014 -> 10:11 PM) Has this been done before? Three days is odd. Must be intense or the Sox are trying to teach these guys a different approach. Sox have done it for years now for their younger position players. Only difference this year seems to be that the focus is on hitting.

Bobby Jenks wants to make a comeback
QUOTE (The Ultimate Champion @ Jan 14, 2014 -> 11:11 PM) Bobby's problems leaked because the manager's son was a b****. God knows what kind of clubhouse issues players around the league have that normally are hush-hush matters. The Oney/Ozzie/Cowley trifecta was was about as bad as it gets. Oney is an idiot and his comments about Bobby were, as usual, dumb. But let's be honest his problems were well known before then. That's half the reason we got him. Bobby's comments regarding KW and Ozzie were highly unnecessary considering those two are the most responsible for giving him a MLB career and ultimately making him a millionaire. I certainly did not mind Ozzie firing back at him.

Bobby Jenks wants to make a comeback
QUOTE (The Ultimate Champion @ Jan 14, 2014 -> 11:02 PM) He owes a lot to Kenny Williams for claiming him on waivers and calling him up to the Major League roster. Ozzie used his 25-man roster just like any manager. In fact, if anything Ozzie owes Bobby for helping lock down that bullpen after Shingo's failure and Hermanson's injury. If not for Bobby coming in getting the job done you would have had Neal Cotts or Cliff Politte taken out of setup roles where they were best suited. And Cotts specifically as closer would have made Damaso Marte the lefty setup man, while with Politte as closer you'd have been looking at Vizcaino as the setup guy from the right side and garbage most likely filling out the LR role. Yeah let's just ignore that whole alcohol abuse thing that management had to keep in check here to ensure he was a quality MLB player.

Bobby Jenks wants to make a comeback
I never defended Guillens mouth but I will when it comes to Jenks. Bobby owed a lot to Ozzie and the Sox for saving his career. That said bring him back. At worst it makes us some desperately needed local headlines.

Rosenthal: Tanaka to Yankees
6 years 120 million isn't that bad. Wouldn't mind them pulling the trigger on that. It also potentially opens up new revenue streams so I can ownership be more willing to pay it.

Axe is back
Honestly he is or should be closer to the 12th option than the 8th. We got 1. Sale 2. Q 3. Johnson 4. Danks 5. Rienzo 6. Paulino 7. Surkamp 8. Chris Bassitt Should all definitely get a shot above him. I would think Beck and Snodgress then too assuming they're ready. Then beyond then I'd rather see Leesman. So he's battling Zach Stewart way down there on my list.

Vacation/Travel Thread.
QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Jan 13, 2014 -> 09:50 PM) 1) Any specific area you are looking to stay? 2) Do you have a players card at any major casino chain? 1. Preferably in the middle of the strip. We've stayed at hooter and mgm before and just find it so far out of the way. Probably not one of the higher end ones. 2. Hmm. I do have cards at hollywood, Harrahs joliet, four winds. I think a few of those tie into Vegas hotels but not sure. I would guess Harrahs does.

Great win for Iowa. Ohio State was the most overrated team in the country but anytime you go on the and win by that much in the B1G it's great. I'd say they could compete for the title but their schedule us even harder than Illinois'.

QUOTE (danman31 @ Jan 12, 2014 -> 08:57 PM) First of all, we need to see what the actual charges are before assuming he gets booted. Second, this doesn't ruin his NFL career at all. The NFL doesn't give a s*** about personal stuff. LeGarrette Blount just scored 4 TDs in a playoff game last night after all. That's a bad example considering his personal issues has cost him a truckload of money.
