QUOTE(BobDylan @ Nov 15, 2006 -> 05:50 AM) Can you find me some confirmation that MGS will be on the X-Box? I've never heard that. There is no confirmation as of yet. I was just reading on IGN, and they said the latest issue of EGM says that MGS4 on the 360 is likely to happen.

QUOTE(BobDylan @ Nov 15, 2006 -> 05:28 AM) There aren't many games out for the PS3. Of the games that are out now, I don't want any of them. Therefore I am not going to buy one until a game comes out that I want. Those include MGS4 and FF11. Now with MGS4 though likely coming to the 360, there really aren't many killer software aps for the PS3 to validate buying the system. Heck, it's lost the exclusitivity on the GTA, Assasin's Creed, Guitar Hero, Dragon Warrior and now possibly MGS franchises within a matter of months. That's bad news.

Man the Wii is small.

Sony is in trouble. -IGN They made most of their money in Japan. If they continue to put up sales numbers like that, all of its 3rd party support is going to go out the window. Oh, and there are already tons of reports of hardware trouble with the PS3 Japan shipment. Well, that makes my decision easy.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Nov 15, 2006 -> 04:40 AM) Well Kansas won't lose to an average mid major like Butler, not until the first round of the NCAA Tournament anyways. Speaking of that, Butler does begin with a B. I think were onto something here.

QUOTE(Sox It To Em @ Nov 15, 2006 -> 02:51 AM) *looks into wallet* *sees nothing* *cries* Wii- 250 Extra Controller with nunchuck- 50$ Zelda: Twilight Princess- 50$ 200 Virtual Console points- 20$ I'll be needing some extra money as well.

QUOTE(SoxPhan7 @ Nov 15, 2006 -> 03:25 AM) You took the words right out of my mouth. GoW and Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter are worth the $400 right there. And the word is that there is going to be a Blu Ray add on to the 360 in the next month or so for $199. So Buy a 360 and wait on the Ps3. HD-DVD add-on, not blue-ray, I do believe.

So, I didn't camp-out for my pre-order. And I don't want to camp out to get a video game system. Anyone with experience know where the best places to go would be? Any stores with midnight launches? Also, the editor of IGN called Zelda: Twilight Princess "The greatest game of all-time" today. I can't frickin' wait.

QUOTE(Rex Hudler @ Nov 14, 2006 -> 01:41 AM) Case in point (from another board).... Because one fan says that for one year Illinois will be Big Ten title CONTENDERS does not even come close to meaning that Illinois will be on the same level as OSU or UM.

Down goes Arizona.

QUOTE(He_Gawn @ Nov 11, 2006 -> 03:37 AM) Honestly, as much as I agree with you non Illini fans, its not worth to try and prove your thoughts because there are so many of them that want to believe something before someone has even played a game. Stop. This is recruiting we are talking about. Don't even try to pull the "BUT HE'S NEVER PLAYED A COLLEGE GAME BEFORE!". It's dumb, moronic, and played out

Some early scores of note: Loyola with a double digit lead over Princeton NC State down 6 to Wofford with 8 minutes left in the first half Mike Davis and UAB down 20 to Washington State with 8 minutes left

Looks like they changed the match. It's 4 on 4 and neither Arn or Mitch will be involved, but both will be at ringside.

QUOTE(Jimbo @ Nov 9, 2006 -> 10:27 PM) Its just one receiver...im playing dumb, but whats so great about one guy. ....

Third match announced: Flair, Piper, Arn Anderson, Dusty Rhodes & Sgt Slaughter vs The Spirit Squad Traditional Suvivor Series rules. Well, it's awesome that they may be going back to the old days with nearly all the matches being of the SS formula.

QUOTE(Brian @ Nov 9, 2006 -> 01:59 AM) You could put any crappy 10 guys in an SS type match and I'll mark for them. I even was entertained by the 4 Doinks vs. Bam Bams team that one year. AGREED! Nothing beats the Survivor Series format.

CvC Preview and Predictions Austin Regional Texas over Alcorn State St. Bonaventure over Chicago State Texas over St. Bonaventure Texas should have no trouble at all advancing to New York. Alcorn State will get absolutly routed in the first game by the Longhorns. The 2nd game features two of division one's worst programs. St. Bonaventure will likely win out simply because they are used to playing against better talent. Then it is their turn to get beat down by Texas. East Lansing Regional Michigan State over Brown Central Michigan over Youngstown State Michigan State over Central Michigan Again, it looks like the promoters did not want any mid-major to pull a St. Mary's and actually advance to New York. Michigan State has been matched-up against an Ivy League team to satrt, a very poor one at that. Then they should get Central Michigan, a bottom tier MAC school. The Spartans will advance rather easily. New York Regional St. John's over North Florida Loyola(Md) over Navy St. John's over Loyola(Md) Ahhhh! I'm sick of these terrible teams! The CvC Classic used to be a nice showcase for some good low-major teams. This year, not so much. Again, the power conference school should have no trouble advancing(or in this case, staying) in New York. Loyola, coming off their first winning season in a decade, may be able to cause some trouble, but even that is unlikely. College Park Regional Vermont over New Orleans Maryland over Hampton Maryland over Vermont Ok, now this is better. In the first game, Vermont should take down New Orleans, although it could be close. Both are expected to finish at the top of their conferences. In the second, Maryland should have no trouble with Hampton, which will set-up an interesting game between the Terrapins and Vermont. Despite being the mid-major that they are, Vermont should be able to trouble Maryland a little. I'm not sure if they can pull off a victory, but it will be close. Championship Rounds Semi-Finals Texas over Michigan State This should probably be the championship game, even though both of these teams are putting out weaker squads than what they are used too. This could also be Kevin Durant's break-out party. Michigan State has no one on their roster to match-up with him, and if he goes off, look out. Durant could single handedly take over the game for the Longhorns. Overall though, this is a very tough game to call. Semi-Finals Maryland over St. John's Maryland should not have too much trouble with the Red Storm. What will be interesting to see is if St. John's can get any sort of homecourt advantage behind the New York crowd. The match-up to watch in this game will be between Maryland's James Gist and St. John's Lamont Hamilton. 3rd Place Game Michigan State over St. John's Again I expect the New York crowd to go home dissapointed. Michigan State should give a lofty beat down to the Red Storm. The most interesting thing to see in this gameis where the Spartans will get their offense from. Can Drew Neitzel finally become the complete offensive player that he was once projected to be? Me thinks not, but we will see. Championship game Texas over Maryland I expect another another Kevin Durant show. If this happens, the Longhorns will have no problem fighting off Maryland. I know some have high expectations for the Terrapins this year, but I just don't see it. Their still going to give up way too many points and this must be corrected if they want to beat the better teams. Also, last year they seemed to have some individualistic problems. Too many players trying to do their own thing. Will be interesting to see if this year they have finally corrected that.

QUOTE(SleepyWhiteSox @ Nov 5, 2006 -> 09:47 PM) I just hope this gives Coach Wainwright an edge if/when both schools are recruiting the same player...Sure hope that getting top-tier type recruits like Mac Koshwal and Dar Tucker this year becomes a trend... I find it funny that Reggie Rose actually said that. No, I find it ubeiveable.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Nov 5, 2006 -> 05:40 AM) Rose combined with that other talent down there is good enough to Carmeloize Memphis. Not sure why he put off the annoucement this long though, he's been going to Memphis for several months now, and it wasn't like the Gordon thing where he was even really still looking. Meh. Memphis has had more talent in the past and has done nothing with it. I don't think anyone can Carmeloize them.

He's going to Memphis.

QUOTE(whitesox61382 @ Nov 4, 2006 -> 09:58 PM) Let it go and learn to accept mediocre at UI. QUOTE(He_Gawn @ Nov 4, 2006 -> 08:57 PM) Greasy pinpointed what I was saying. It's basically useless to talk about Gordon in this thread because it always leads to a certain fanbase getting uneasy. At first I assume you were talking about the U of I fan base. But apparently not.
