I'd go with MSU and Illinois 1 and 2 since those are the only two not to lose at home. Well I guess OSU hasn't either, but they have beaten Iowa and Indiana. Truth be told the BT is a jumbled mess from 1 to Penn State.

McCamey picked a heckuva time to have the worst game of his career. Meacham too. Surprised it was that close given how miserable those two are. Alex Legion really picked them up, despite his own moronic turnovers. He's got an NBA-style game.

Nomar is the most notorious case

QUOTE (knightni @ Jan 11, 2009 -> 07:56 PM) Can you trade a recently signed free agent? The article states not until the next June, but in this case, Cabrera would waive that right.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jan 11, 2009 -> 06:29 PM) Who's your All-American team so far? Here's mine: pg- S. Curry sg- M. Harris c- D. Blair sf- J. Harden pf- B. Griffin Second team would be Lawson, McNeal, Jordan Hill, Singler, Harangody Third team would be Collison, Jerrells, Monroe, Evan Turner, and Hansbrough Replace Blair with Psycho T and you have mine.

1. I doubt the commish office would approve of this, even if their main stuff is looking at salary. 2. That would completely ruin any thoughts of the Marlins talking to us as long as KW has a job. It wouldn't help things with the Yankees, either.

It felt good to crush the RPI killers, I'll say.

I usually hate the sports guy but he had an article on wrestling in ESPN the mag. I always knew he was a huge fan because he references it a lot. Anyways, he says he has stopped watching since the Benoit thing (which I don't believe him, but whatever). This made him realize how punished the wrestlers are, etc. As a solution he suggested an offseason for wrestling. I thought it was interesting, and, in addition to freshening up the wrestlers, I think it would certainly freshen up the storylines. Maybe end it with SummerSlam for 3 or 4 months, then have a big "opening day" Raw and lead into the Rumble as your big event. I think it would work, as I believe some fans need a break just as the performers do.

Left 4 Dead, definitely

In a battle of who can get the least out of his talent, Mark Gottfried and Alabama is giving Ga Tech a beatdown. Hewitt trying to prove he really is second to none.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jan 3, 2009 -> 07:23 PM) So far we have ISU as probably the best backcourt in the country, and Ill with a top 10 back court. Neither team is ranked and neither has a lottery pick on the roster. Is there some possibility that there is ALOT of homerism going on here? Well that's a misquote if I ever heard one. I said if Legion and McCamey play to their abilities, which so far has not been the case, they were a top 15 one when put with two other pretty good guards.

QUOTE (kjshoe04 @ Jan 3, 2009 -> 08:03 PM) You can't honestly say that Ill's back court would be even close to ill st. Of course you can. When McCamey wants to play and if Legion is as good as advertised (if the Purdue game is any indication, then he is), Illinois has a top 15, borderline top 10 back court. That may sound like a lot question marks, but mind you they join two pretty damn good guards already in Meacham and Frazier.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Jan 3, 2009 -> 08:11 AM) I'm going to jump in here and just say: ISU has played absolutely NOBODY and that can't be argued. But it also can't be argued that they have one of the best back courts in the nation. I honestly don't know how good they are yet but Champ and Osiris are that good. They'd be able to play with a lot of teams. Illinois backcourt is probaly just as court when McCamey wants to play, not to mention the Illini's far, far superior front court.

Is calling him by his nickname a bannable offense? Now that he is a Cub, it shouldn't be.

QUOTE (fathom @ Dec 31, 2008 -> 03:01 AM) My overall response more had to deal with a certain aspect of Illini fans who think there's a conspiracy every game against them by the refs. There is a conspiracy in the Big Ten to help the home team. Well, not so much a conspiracy, more like a celebrated tradition.

Illinois did not play particularly good at all and still beat one of the two Big Ten faves. I like that. It's like the bizzaro version of last year's team.

Worst call I've ever seen.

Illinois just shot a free throw, take a picture.

"Some people just like to see the world burn" Well, not quite.

It was cute watching Purdue complain about the refs tonight. Never mind the free throw total. US? HAND CHECK? NO!

Today has been the single funniest day in political talk radio history. Thanks, Blago.

The PSP, in terms of games, is probably the worst major console in a long awhile.

QUOTE (RME JICO @ Dec 30, 2008 -> 11:25 PM) They are talking about an Icelandic band, not our team. http://www.icenews.is/index.php/2007/10/31...-sox-rock-band/ http://www.pr.com/press-release/58465 Their leader is a 23 year US citizen. I take it the band name is still a reference to us?

QUOTE (kjshoe04 @ Dec 30, 2008 -> 09:19 PM) I'm a hater. I'll admit it. I take pleasure in watching them lose. Probably because they get all the publicity when ISU has had the better team two straight years now. You really think ISU is better than UofI this year?
