The fellating of the Pac-12 is ridiculous

QUOTE (chw42 @ Mar 22, 2013 -> 04:31 PM) Our defense is stifling right now. Wow. It's brilliantly schemed - the double teams are perfectly timed, the rotations are happening at the right time. This has been a fun 10 minutes or so

Bubble Bruce!

Tyler Griffey is having the game of his life right now

That should have been called a foul, the dumbass was gullible enough to jump into him you have to whistle it even if you don't like the strategy.

BOOOOM SHAKALAKA

Well, we're winning

Griffey not playing horribly yet

It's had many of the aspects of an Illnois game. Unnecessary three pointer taken in transition by Paul, dumb foul by Abrams, several turnovers, no ball reversals, Paul not finishing an easy potential 3 point play, and...of course, we're still in it.

Getting Nnana in the mix should really help our shooters.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Mar 22, 2013 -> 01:44 PM) So the Bears saved money, and probably got better. But just a few years younger

Wtf Wisky, this is f***ing embarrassing. Now we've got the national media talking about how the B1G is overrated because there is no talent in it. UIUC better better Colorado, to the chagrin of all the analysts

And of course the way we do it doesn't the serve the ends it is supposed to. It doesn't make us safer, it doesn't deter criminal acts, it doesn't reduce the amount of criminals.

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Mar 21, 2013 -> 11:31 PM) Who would care about watching/attending that game, besides maybe the fans of those 2 teams? Why do people watch ANY bowl game except the national championship? College fans prove themselves gullible enough to watch games that don't count already.

Anything with Adam Dunn in it is awesome. He's hilarious.

I'm happy to keep guns away from felons, but we as a society need to be wary of how many freedoms we take away from people who have served time. Our penal system is so punitive that many criminals just have no chance at being a "regular" citizen again. Lock them away longer than any country and send them out into the world as "free," except they can't do anything in the free world because they're felons. The prison sentence is for only so long, but the criminal sentence is life-long. We just don't do much thinking about rehabilitation out of our own self-interest/fear.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Mar 21, 2013 -> 06:18 PM) I had oregon in my head, Ok St on my brackets. f*** Even though I've been right on a couple of things I could have been wrong on, it disturbs me what little evidence I use in my head to make these decisions. "I was up late one night and saw Oregon beat someone (can't remember who, I think they were good though!) so they must be pretty legit"

There are now no perfect brackets in our pool.

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Mar 21, 2013 -> 05:49 PM) Should have been shooting FT's down 2 on that last possession, didn't get the benefit of the call there. Yeah, evens out. Those refs don't want to be blamed for the first 1-16 upset

QUOTE (southside_hitman @ Mar 21, 2013 -> 02:07 PM) I was surprised to read about the injury to Danks and the prognosis. Danks torn shoulder capsule diagnosis . "When he finally did go under the knife, we found out that Danks' subscapularis injury had healed, but that the underlying problem turned out to be a torn shoulder capsule. The shoulder capsule problem is a relatively rare diagnosis and gathering details on those who've had the same issue has also been problematic. But the preliminary research is not promising given the names on the list: Johan Santana, Chris Young, Dallas Braden, Chien-Ming Wang, Pedro Feliciano, Tim Byrdak Mark Prior, Robb Nen, John Maine, Tomo Ohka and Rich Harden....and none of those guys have come back to be the pitchers they were." That information is contrary to what Ventura stated: "This is a part of the shoulder that they're not as worried about," White Sox manager Robin Ventura said. "If it was the labrum or something like that, it would be worse. It's good news. He'll be ready to go. I know he's pretty relieved as far as there was something there, they fixed it," Ventura said. Ventura downplays Dank's injury and claims he will be ready to go We talked about this a couple pages ago. All of the examples except Johan had other significant issues like labrum, RC tears on top of the capsule issue. The only major pitcher we know of that had a capsule only injury recently was Johan, and he's been fine other than a leg injury.

Damn, looks like the Zags will win. Trying to decide if this will be a predictor of their coming games. I didn't have them getting very far anyway, though.

QUOTE (WilliamTell @ Mar 21, 2013 -> 05:39 PM) To me it sort of looks like Southern is getting most of the 50/50 balls and most of the 50/50 calls. I haven't been watching for long, but I agree. Late call on this three point shot but it isn't a bad call.

Now you'll all look dumb when he gets called up and dominates us
