QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Oct 9, 2006 -> 03:14 AM) BTW, does anyone know why Finlay is getting this semi-push he's been getting these past few months? I love him and am glad to see it, but I just don't understand why all of this is happening so late in his career. Well, why not? The WWE saw he was good enough, and adjusted accordingly. And I love it. Finlay remains one of the main reasons to watch SmackDown!.

QUOTE(Brian @ Oct 9, 2006 -> 02:34 AM) From what I read: Hardy over Helms London/Kendrick over the Teacher Pets Flash Funk..I mean MVP over a jobber. Kennedy over UT via DQ Benoit returns and beats Regal Title match going on now. Glad I missed it. I heard it was awesome.

MR. KEEEEEEEEEEEEEEENNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEDDDDDDDDDDDYYYYYYYYYYY Kennedy.

QUOTE(Brian @ Oct 9, 2006 -> 12:34 AM) Hardy is so underrated. When he came back, that Edge angle had top notch matches. He still gets a good pop everytime he comes out on Smackdown. I have heard stories that people behind the scenes do not see anything in him, but if he gets a good reaction from the fans and has good matches, why not push him instead of Johnny Nitro or other hacks. I like Matt a lot. He has a great varying moveset that can changed at any time. Plus he's a vet who has probably deserved more singles success than what he has seen. Jeff on the other hand.... With that said, I'm still shocked they took the belt off of Helms who was the middle of such a dominating title run.

Wow, Hardy actually won.

Predictions for tonight? World Heavyweight Championship - Fatal Four Way Match - King Booker © vs. Bobby Lashley vs. Batista vs. Finlay. - The Undertaker vs. WWE U.S. Champion Mr. Kennedy. Falls Count Anywhere Match - Rey Mysterio vs. Chavo Guerrero. - MVP (Montel Vontavious Porter) makes his in-ring debut. - Matt Hardy vs. WWE Cruiserweight Champion Gregory Helms. WWE Tag Team Championship Match - Paul London & Brian Kendrick (c's) vs. K.C. James & Idol Stevens. As for MVP's opponent, well, I have no idea. I'll go out on a limb and say Chris Benoit.

"Po Po is a brother?"

I've never seen this show, but, uh, doesn't it kind of ruin it that there is a modern day civilation on there?

Anyone see that play in the 2nd? Two people thrown out at home at once by the Mets, Carton Fisk-esque.

Not yet. And I really don't expect one to be done anytime soon.

Something tells me that Juan Pierre on this team next year is a certinty.

Probably any game between the big name Catholic League teams(Rice, Rita, Mt. Carmel, Providence). It helps that they make up the best football conference in the state. You could also throw Marist in with those teams even though they really can't compete athletically.

QUOTE(Jimbo @ Sep 30, 2006 -> 08:27 AM) Love the enthusiasm, but Bill Self recruited that team...Bruce Weber would never bring in studs like that team had. Ridiculous. 2007's class features a guard more highly coveted than Dee Brown, and a PG more highly ranked than Deron Williams was. Luther Head, Deron Williams, Roger Powell, and James Augustine were not stars until Weber got to them. There's a reason for that.

QUOTE(nitetrain8601 @ Sep 29, 2006 -> 09:00 PM) In the end, I know this sounds like hindsight, but I think the Illini should've gone after Thad Matta when they Tom Crean told them he wouldn't leave Marquette. Matta is great at recruiting and is great at getting the best out of his players. Hell, I think I'd rehire Lon Kruger. I know it sounds like a lot of complaining on my part, which it is, but I'm calling it how it is. In college, talent is a huge part of successful program. You're bashing Illinois for not going after someone else, yet the man at the helms right now led them to by far their greatest season in their history? Instead you suggest guys like Lon Kruger who can't even get UNLV off its feet right now(And, IMO, won't see the top half of the MWC this year either). Or Thad Matta who has seen the 2nd weekend of the NCAA tournamnet just once now. This all over a guy who has won about 90 games in his first three years, has two Big Ten titles, a Final Four banner, a National-Runner up banner, a Big Ten Tournament Championship banner, and has produced a few All-American players?

QUOTE(nitetrain8601 @ Sep 29, 2006 -> 03:48 AM) That's sad IMO. I know Iowa State is supposedly supposed to be up and coming(at least according to Heads ), but the Illini came off a National Championship appearance two years ago and can't capitalize off of that. That doesn't bode well at all. When getting arguably the country's best player just isn't good enough.

Schilling and Johnson went 9-1 in the 2001 playoffs with a 1.80 ERA to give a 4 year old franchise a World Series win over perhaps one of the greatest dynastys ever. Depending on how much stock you put into playoff pushes, they are not as far off in the greatest duo ever argument as some make it seem. Of course, their season stats weren't too shappy either. 43-12 with an ERA of about 2.73 in the modern hitting era is pretty impressive.

QUOTE(nitetrain8601 @ Sep 29, 2006 -> 02:13 AM) Seems as if ISU is outrecruiting Illinois as well. If you rank stars, their exactly even, and that's only if those two commit to ISU.

QUOTE(Jimbo @ Sep 28, 2006 -> 10:40 PM) Kansas will have the following players at their annual late night in the phog. Already signed and delivered Cole Aldrich 5 star. 5th best center for 2007. Recruits Kyle Singer 5 star. Best SF for 2007 Jeff Withey 4 star 9th Center for 2008 Anthony Randolph 5 star. 4th best SF for 2008. lets just say a future JU JU Anthony Crater 5 star 2nd best pg 2008 Travis Relaford 4 star 6th best sg for 2008 Xavier henry 5 star..9th in nation for 2009 Never know if Rose will show up too. All stats according to rivals.com With that kind of future, they may be able to get out of the first round.

QUOTE(Brian @ Sep 26, 2006 -> 02:57 AM) I wasn't really paying attention, but did they cut off Bischoff in the middle of his book plug like he was going off on stuff not planned or was he done? Looked like a planned shoot(Coach was showing a cut the camera sign in the backround, looked planned). However, with a planned shoot you'd think they'd have something planned for him story-line wise in the future but as it stands right now he isn't under contract.

QUOTE(Buehrle>Wood @ Sep 26, 2006 -> 02:38 AM) Bischoff is in the building. And he appears.

Bischoff is in the building.

Boring line-up.

QUOTE(T R U @ Sep 25, 2006 -> 09:27 PM) man I am disgusted that Angle joined TNA The fact that TNA actually signed him is pretty horrible for the bussiness.

1. Edge(Over the past few month's he's become wrestling's top performer. Right now he is head and shoulders above everyone else. Too bad WWE insists on him interacting with the stale John Cena.) 2. DX 3. AAE

ARGHHHHHHHHH
