Buehrle>Wood

I'm surprised they showed up considering their lives were once threatened by Illini fans.

Also, what does everyone make of the Sampson getting fired rumors? The Sun-Times reported on it today, and they aren't the first major publication to comment on the potential severity of the NCAA sanctions. Interesting stuff here...

QUOTE(He_Gawn @ Feb 8, 2008 -> 12:57 AM) Pretty pumped for the game tonight so I took a stroll over to the Illini board. It really sickens me that about 10 fans are seriously wishing for Gordon to have a career ending injury tonight. I'm glad that all the Illini fans here are very respectful. Good luck tonight and I really think IU will struggle tonight. Prove me wrong boys! Which one? InsideIllini? I was reading that now and see nothing of that... Actually, it's odd that there aren't even too many discussions on the game tonight. I wanted to read up on it.

QUOTE(kyyle23 @ Feb 6, 2008 -> 04:51 PM) Does Flair just go away, or do you think WWE works him into the show as a mouthpiece or GM role? I'm guessing he'll go away and retire. If he still wanted to be in the business, he'd be wrestling IMO.

QUOTE(MHizzle85 @ Feb 6, 2008 -> 04:22 AM) Is it me or is the booking on the way to Wrestlemania just god awful. They've got a natural feud with a guy that had the longest reign in like the last 20 years who never actually lost his title vs. the guy who's beat everyone in front of him. Instead they'd rather force the No Way Out main event and throw money down the toilet, and have HHH headline 'Mania with Cena. Last time I checked great builds help make the payoff. Orton will beat Cena and be over huge on his way to WM.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Feb 5, 2008 -> 07:01 PM) Liuget is in, as I said a few days ago. Harper is 50/50 between Illinois and Miami, but might be leaning towards Illinois because Liuget picked the O&B over the Canes. Might be a surprise signee tomorrow as well. That's all I got, not much but I figured I'd post it anyways. Oh, and Notre Dame got a verbal from 2009 power forward Jack Cooley of Glenbrook South. With Illinois already getting Griffey, and Cooley's game being pretty similar to current ND star Luke Harangody, I think this is a very good fit for both sides. Cooley was going to commit to the Illini this past weekend, which is why Griffey hurried up and made his choice.

Wild Wilderness or whatever it is called is without a doubt the worst movie I have ever seen. That is no exaggeration. And that's from someone who loved another recent Happy Madison movie in Grandma's Boy.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Feb 1, 2008 -> 07:16 PM) Your recruiting comments show an amazing lack of knowledge. As fathom said, Howard has connections Weber can only dream of, and as I said, if this program gets really good again due to these recruits, Howard deserves the vast majority of the credit. And Weber offered guys like Scheyer and Gordon and Rose and Collins (etc) very early, he was even the first high major coach on Iman Shumpert. The problem was, he could not close the deal and use inside connections, but now with Howard, that is no longer an issue. And there is no room for anymore players until 2011 due to the verbals accumulated, as far as I'm aware of. Howard does not have all these amazing connections that you guys make out he has. That was the biggest complaint with him getting the job in the first place, that he was a young and up and coming coach who had not yet established himself(another Peoria coach, remember?"), and he was taking a job that was trying to solve a state-of-emergency. So yes, he's done a brilliant job of establishing himself just about everywhere in the stater, and is still learning on the job(which is scary in a good way). That said, I think this just shows how truly inept Webster was more than anything. How you can't attract anything to the only high-major program in the state is beyond me.

QUOTE(Kid Gleason @ Jan 31, 2008 -> 02:31 PM) Oh hey, so you get to choose from all of the "greatest characters" and all of the levels are made up from all of those "greatest games"??? That is unbelievably cool! I'm not familiar with many of the games, but if you make these giant world jumps from level to level, then yeah...I think I need this one also! How many different companies had to sign on for this thing to get made? Konami, Nintendo and Sega are the three who have playable characters. There's more characters from other companies who make appareances throughout the game though. There's probably about 150+ characters somewhere in the game, with 39 of those being playable. It also comes with short versions of the games in which these characters appeared in.

And that's not even 3/4s of the stages. I need this game like now.

Twins agree to deal Santana to Mets for prospects The deal is pending the Mets and Santana reaching agreement on a six- or seven-year contract extension and that Santana passes a physical; they have been granted a 48 to-72-hour window to do so. Santana has a no-trade clause that he will waive if agreement is reached on a contract extension.

QUOTE(Kid Gleason @ Jan 29, 2008 -> 07:50 PM) Where is Ms. Pac Man? Capcom wouldn't let any of their characters in because they are evil.

QUOTE(Kid Gleason @ Jan 29, 2008 -> 07:41 PM) Can somebody explain to me what that game is? What is the premise...why all the excitement? Please remember I am new to video game geekery. I'm no stranger to being a geek...just this form of one. It's basically fanfare to the extreme. All the greatest Video game characters ever gone into one mega game. It helps that the game is damn good too. The last is considered to be one of the greatest games ever by many.

Whose idea was it to trade Hulk Hogan to American Gladiators for Mike Adamle?

QUOTE(WHITESOXRANDY @ Jan 28, 2008 -> 06:11 PM) Could we give Sabean Crede, Masset, Anderson, Danks or Floyd(his choice), Uribe,Ozuna and a bottle of Jack Daniels for either Cain or Lincecum(his choice). Any chance? Send the bottle of Jack first, then maybe.

One of the best RR matches ever, but BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO at the ending.

Santino is awesome. Jeff "Harvey" is such a bore.
