QUOTE (onedude @ Apr 11, 2012 -> 07:06 PM) Errol noticed Raylan in the van when he drove by leaving nobles holler. Obviously rung an alarm in his head..."maybe i should check this out" Wow, I was clearly not paying attention there.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Apr 11, 2012 -> 06:40 PM) I dont know about the IU guys but it pisses me off every time I see Gary Harris and the f***ing MSU logo next to his name. Eh, it doesn't really bother me, but more because our class was already pretty much set (and oversigning by one for 2012-13) by the time Harris was deciding, so I wasn't expecting to get him. And, he was supposedly an MSU lean for a while anyway.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Apr 11, 2012 -> 06:27 PM) I usually go: Scout Rivals 24/7 ESPN On anything recruiting. Rivals has McGary at 30, actually has Robinson at 11 and Dekker at 13. Yogi comes in at 19, Hallowell down at 41 just above Perea That's actually my order as well, but I've been seeing McGary's name (either in some random ESPN article or on the bottom line) with a "3" next to it a ton recently, which is why that was in my head.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Apr 11, 2012 -> 06:15 PM) He's #21, Harris is #11 If by some miracle Parker commits to OSU he's #20 Just depends who you go by, I guess. One of them (ESPN, I think?) rates McGary as 3. EDIT: You edited your post at the time I posted this. Not fair.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Apr 11, 2012 -> 04:06 PM) The way they pluck kids from schools that have been after them longer and probably local points to that every time. UK already has 2 5 stars and 1 4 star. #15, #17, #35 Only Gary Harris is ranked higher for the Big Ten. Add in 2-3 of what I posted before and you have one of the best classes in recent history, again. Last year they brought in ONLY 5 star recruits for the #1 class. The year before they averaged 4 stars for the #1 class. The year before they averaged 4.33 stars for the #1 class. To put that in perspective, the Indiana class that everyone is jacked up about averages 3.60 stars for the #3 class The OSU class in 2008 average 4.0 stars for #1 Probably the best class in OSU history in 2005 averaged 4.6 stars for #2 The illinois class in 2010 had a 4.33 avg for #11 UK could bring in back to back to back to back #1 classes and this one COULD be their best. Ridiculous Just because McGary is going to Michigan doesn't mean he doesn't count, Rock!

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Apr 11, 2012 -> 03:55 PM) And you can bet that whichever kids go to UK, there will be cries of dirty recruiting. But any kid that chooses a different school was obviously cleanly recruited. I'm not sure if you were trying to imply this or not, but it seems like the public's ignorance would be to the second part, not the first part.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 11, 2012 -> 02:46 PM) According to multiple media sources, the Prosecutor has called a 6:00 EST press conference to announce the charges against Mr. Zimmerman, whose location is currently unknown to investigators. For some reason, I read the seventh word in that sentence as "Pentagon" and was thinking this got blown more out of proportion than normal. But that would be sort of awesome.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Apr 9, 2012 -> 11:48 AM) maybe even PU if their freshman are as good as advertised are all going to be very dangerous next year. Do they have anything decent besides Hammons coming in? I thought 2013 was supposed to be their "good" class. I am intrigued to see what Hammons can do, though. QUOTE (RockRaines @ Apr 9, 2012 -> 11:48 AM) And the similarities between OSU football fans and IU bball fans are very funny sometimes. Ew.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Apr 8, 2012 -> 11:32 AM) Alabama Shakes, anyone? This is what I was hoping for when I originally heard the hype over The Black Keys and Kings of Leon... I love that woman's voice. They're a little more soul than Black Keys, though. Kings of Leon had a decent song or two, but I do like the Black Keys quite a bit. This album was way cleaner sounding (especially the bass) and more poppy. But their first first albums are straight up blues, there's some RL Burnside and Junior Kimbrough covers on the first record.

Finally watched last week's Killing premiere. I liked it, definitely better than last season. Much tighter.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Apr 6, 2012 -> 04:32 PM) It's pretty shocking to see something so openly, disgustingly racist. Wow. That's pretty ridiculous.

According to the Bears' facebook account, they signed Kelvin Hayden.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Apr 5, 2012 -> 02:57 PM) It's people who were relocated from large public housing projects like Robert Taylor. Ok; in that case my original question/comment stands. EDIT: More specifically, I meant that it might be unwise to look at that data and say "SEE THEY WERE CRIMINALS NO MATTER WHERE WE PUT THEM" for the reasons I mentioned above.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 5, 2012 -> 12:53 PM) We'll see if this goes anywhere good, but I wanted to hear what people thought about who Romney should choose as his VP running mate. There are a bunch of different directions he could go, not to mention all of the people out there who could have run for President, but chose not to do so. Mitch Daniels? Jeb Bush? Chris Christie? Jindal? Ron or Rand Paul? One of the failed candidates from this cycle? Someone else? Why would Mitch Daniels take it? He probably had a decent shot at getting the Prez nomination and didn't run -- I'd imagine the same reasons that kept from entering that race would also keep him from wanting to be VP. QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ Apr 5, 2012 -> 01:21 PM) I think Rubio has the best initial impression of them all, but damn they had better vet him hard and fast, just to be safe. I have heard many of his speeches, and he can talk circles around just about anyone. I would say he would make Biden look like an idiot in a debate, but Joe already does that to himself. The only debate I ever watched Biden in was the VP debate in 08, and he did a good job. It would have been really easy to come off as too abrasive or whatnot towards Palin, or invoking too much of her media portrayal, but he completely stayed away from that. Sounding like an idiot in soundbites and coming off as one in a debate are two different things.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 5, 2012 -> 08:00 AM) Inside the protest area at the GOP Convention in Tampa, a lot of things have been banned. You can't bring in a super soaker, you can't bring in something that could be used as a club, you can't bring in things that could be flammable. All seemingly logical things to ban from a protest area outside a convention. You know what you can bring? Guns. Florida law says you can't ban people from carrying concealed weapons if they have a permit. So, unless something changes, people will be legally armed inside the free speech zones at the GOP convention. And they have the right to stand their ground too. What's your specific issue with this? The State for having those laws, or at least not specially exempting the GOP convention? The GOP for adhering to them? The GOP for banning "lesser" items (super soakers, anything as a club, etc.)? Unless there was some drastic change in law between when they decided to have the convention there and when it will actually be held, they knew (or should have known) about the concealed weapons law, and planned accordingly.

Wait, I'm a bit confused -- so is this following people who were in a concentrated form of public housing, and then were relocated to mixed income neighborhoods? If that's the case, it seems to me that there should be a distinction between people transitioning from concentrated public housing to mixed income neighborhoods after their "formative" years, and people who are raised in mixed income neighborhoods. I would think that the former would include people who sort of "fell in" to crime, and then continued after they were moved; but, if they had been raised in mixed-income neighborhoods, they might have not become involved with crime at all.

QUOTE (onedude @ Apr 4, 2012 -> 06:23 PM) Unlike you, i wouldn't be able to pick up a series like justified at season three without watching 1 and 2 first. Season 1 is decent, and its more of character development, season 2 was incredible, season 3 has been awesome. I think this is actually the only show I've ever done that with. Usually it would annoy me too much

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 4, 2012 -> 09:19 AM) Link Doesn't this not only reaffirm Jenks' estimate of decisions that are not decided by one vote (75-80%), but also shows that the increase started under FDR? Yes, it continued to increase under Rehnquist and Roberts, but it started under FDR (who, as others have mentioned tried to amend the constitution to get more judges to his favor).

Definitely agree that sex on school property/in public is the much bigger issue here. FWIW, as long as it's consensual, that relationship would not be illegal in Minnesota (and many other jurisdictions, probably) if it occurred in private.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Apr 4, 2012 -> 02:24 PM) I think this would be a nice resource for people who have questions about cars, repairs, maintenance, etc. So here's my story. The last month or so, my car has been making this low, grinding noise under the hood. It isn't loud, but the engine doesn't sound as smooth when idling and accelerating as it used to, still runs fine though. So yesterday, I'm at a red light and the guy in the car next to me looks over and yells into my window, "you've got a bad idler pulley." It caught me off guard, so I said "WHAT!?" and repeated that I have a bad idler pulley, hence the noise under the hood. He even told me it cost $12 at AutoZone. I said thanks and he pulled off when the light turned green. Did some research and it seems to make sense. Anyone know how much it costs to replace the idler pulley? It's a 96 Lincoln Mark VIII. Wow. That's a nice guy right there.

QUOTE (Brian @ Apr 4, 2012 -> 08:28 AM) So, Justified was pretty awesome last night. Most definitely. But I think I've been saying that every week now. I'm betting Arlo gets killed off in the next episode. He's not too important of a character (I haven't watched seasons 1 or 2 yet, but at least in season 3 he isn't), but he's important enough where they can get a big "wow" factor from killing him off. Plus, it might f*** with Raylan a little more.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Apr 4, 2012 -> 01:19 PM) Sullinger is about the same size as Zach Randolph, who he'll be a poor mans version of. That's valuable. If anything, I'd argue he's one of the guys who is most ready to go to the league and a team can plug right in. He's got a good low post game already. Worst case scenario, he's Michael Sweetney, best case scenario he's Zach Randolph or Chris Kaman or something around there. That's his biggest asset right now, IMO. I don't think he'll get much better than he is now, but he can play right away and be productive. I see him going in the 8-12 range, depending on who all ends up declaring and what not. FWIW, if I didn't have major concerns about Leonard's demeanor and work ethic, I'd easily take him over Sullinger.
