QUOTE(hitlesswonder @ Nov 5, 2007 -> 03:25 AM) I agree -- I think they'll easily win the Big Ten and they're my pick to win the NCAA tournament as well. They have at least 4 legit NBA players on the roster and an excellent coach. Eric Gordon chose well. Oh god.

By having a strong media presence.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Nov 4, 2007 -> 06:39 AM) I know you're the same way as me B>W but I'm so excited for monday. I can't explain to you how much I missed college basketball. Yeah, me too. The number one thing I would change about sports is for the CBB opener to get TV coverage(Not including ESPNU), even if it is just Memphis vs. Tenn-Martin.

2kSports Invite opens the season Monday.

Boston College finally shows they were overrated.

I liked how the the tradition Weis started(Sitting in front of the Navy band while they play) played this year.

QUOTE(Rex Hudler @ Nov 3, 2007 -> 03:04 PM) How weird is it to watch Gameday in the dark in Eugene?? Missed Gameday, but what do you mean?

Michigan State loses to Grand Valley State

Holtz gave Navy his pep talk this week. He'll do anything to get a win for Notre Dame.

QUOTE(fathom @ Nov 1, 2007 -> 05:38 PM) Any truth to Pruitt being out due to disciplinary issues? Pretty sure it was just a coach's decision. Brock I heard had the flu, but who knows.

QUOTE(thedoctor @ Nov 1, 2007 -> 05:19 PM) illinois won it's exhibition opener last night over quincy 82-61. it was 48-16 at halftime, and shaun pruitt, chester frazier, and calvin brock did not play. leading scorer and rebounder was freshman mike davis with 13 and nine. he was followed by freshman bill cole with 11 and eight. there will be some difficult redshirt decisions with these guys and tisdale upcoming. I would say Cole. They got what, 16 players on the roster? Someone needs to redshirt. With Davis, there's a chance he won't be there all 4 years with his athleticism so I don't think it's him. 2010-11 is going to be their next very good year, and they could use an upperclassman PF. Carwell probably deserves the redshirt, but then you lose a 2010 precious schollie so I think he's out.

QUOTE(Rex Hudler @ Oct 31, 2007 -> 05:53 AM) nope, not the same thing.......... stretch it how you want, but Sampson's actions were not NCAA rules violations. All other coaches are allowed to do what he did. He violated personal sanctions placed on him. There is a difference. If you don't get it ask the lawyers who did the investigation and the school why they had to do two separate reports to turn over to the NCAA. It's because they aren't the same. Try and keep up, will ya? That's great and all, but he still broke the rules given to him by the NCAA. Who the hell cares what you call it.

QUOTE(Rex Hudler @ Oct 31, 2007 -> 05:29 AM) Kelvin Sampson did not commit any NCAA infractions. Rob Senderoff, who resigned today, did. Sampson is tied to between 10-18 "3-way calls" (the # depends on how you count them) that are not NCAA violations, but were impermissable under the sanctions he was under from his deal at Oklahoma. Which would be the rules that the NCAA laid out for him, hense he committed NCAA infractions.

Good start

Little Luther Head looks like he is going to be an Illini.

I'm liking Memphis this year. Derrick Rose is perfect for them, and he'll be winning FotY. I'm going out to Vegas to catch the UNC/Louisville showdown. Cannot wait.

Where's our Josh Fogg? Wait, what?

I don't wish a broken bone on anyone. At least not if you have to get the septum repair surgery after words.

QUOTE(Jenksismyb**** @ Oct 24, 2007 -> 02:52 PM) I just played the cod4 demo - it looks amazing. That'll be a purchase. I'm also planning on Guitar Hero III and Gears of War on the PC. What console for the demo?

Rick Reilly is moving from SI to ESPN. Sucks. He was living proof you could be the best sports man in the biz without an overthetop personality or controversial articles. ESPN will ruin him I fear.

Last year was terrible. I'm probably going to stop going.

QUOTE(Brian @ Oct 23, 2007 -> 06:07 PM) Warren has won 5 games in a row. 7-2 vs. 6-3 isn't a big difference. I know Loyola is good, they killed Stevenson in Week 1, but Warren is on a roll and have 3 good RBs. I'm gonna head to Loyola Sat afternoon to watch. I don't think Loyola loses until the semis. The CCLB is way too good this year.
