QUOTE(maggsmaggs @ Jan 9, 2006 -> 11:17 PM) How do you watch Sox games? Or do you? Also, the above posts helped a lot. Thanks. well, i watched all the summer games and april games...the few that were on WGN and there was a series with KC i saw...i also "recieved" an account for MLB.tv and i saw the september games, which nearly gave me an ulcer...i think my posting shot way down in september haha... then the playoffs were on TV...

i love fat tire beer...but its a treat because i can't afford it. unfortunately, its natty light day and night for me. i hate water.

QUOTE(maggsmaggs @ Jan 9, 2006 -> 10:54 PM) Bmags, I will probably be going there next year or Northwestern. What advice can you give? I hope my above post helped to be honest NW and Mizzou are 1a 1b for journalism...your thoughts there would be price and atmosphere. I will tell you that mizzou is not that diverse ethnically, but does have kids from all over, so there are myriad different personalities. PLus, we have the best rec center in the country and i'm very happy with our dorms.

I'll shed light... Its 16.5 i believe for out of state...but they have pretty attainable scholarships for out of states, both my friends got the 2500 scholarship, i got the 5500, making it a bit of a jump from U of I but my dad said we could handle it. The Journalism school IIRC is automatic admission if you scored a 26 in your english on your ACT. I got in automatically through that which is cool because if you are prejournalism you have to be on top of things to get in. a 3.0 might not even do it. Now, the good. We have an NBC affiliate channel for our training in the journalism school. We have a NPR station for our training in the journalism school. We have the town newspaper (The Missourian) for our training in the missouri school. Depending on your sequence, you will WORK in those (not paid of course) where you will be more than prepared for the work force. We are currently ranked #1 in the country for journalism and are actively recruited post school, although sometimes the job placements through the school aren't the best. We are also first with the "convergence" major, and, i don't know that much about it...but they feel pretty strongly that this is the future in media...its a chance but the kids that are in it have the opportunity to get great jobs right away. As for socially, i'm somewhat disappointed, they REALLY do card here. Except for tequila's. But, to get tehre you need a car. PLUS, off campus housing is rather far, meaning the only parties are greek, or east campus, where the cops just sit and break up parties within an hour. ON the other hand, i've met a ton of cool people and i've had GREAT professors who, in spite of the large numbers in my frosh classes, took the time to get to know me. I'm very happy with this school as they also have many programs to try and get you out in 4 years...which if you head to U of I, it is a concern you might be there for 5...and that was consideration my dad also took. I have to get out in 4 or else i pay for my 5th...and i'm confident i can do it. I'm in news editorial, if you have any questions you can pm me or ask here i'll be looking for it. And i guess the greek thing won't be a problem for you being a dave fan

QUOTE(farmteam @ Jan 9, 2006 -> 10:42 PM) Yeah, for those looking at Journalism, look at Missouri. One of the top Journalism schools around, and, IIRC, it's pretty cheap for an out of state school. Also IIRC, someone from this board went there last year, can't remember who though. They can probably shed some light on Mizzou. I'm not sure how hard it is to get into Mizzou's Journalism program though. I thought that you can get into it as long as you are regularly accepted, but I might be wrong. i go to missouri for journalism

QUOTE(Gene Honda Civic @ Jan 9, 2006 -> 10:49 PM) http://www.gapersblock.com/news/archives/2006/01/#011853 so basically i went to U of Mizzou for no reason.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Jan 9, 2006 -> 10:34 PM) Actually she looks very touchable to me..... I applaud you.

QUOTE(Pauly8509CWS @ Jan 9, 2006 -> 09:45 PM) I've heard different things, because I too am looking into journalism and am planning on going to U of I or Grand Valley State. Both fit me well, but I think I can play D2 club hockey at U of I so I may choose there. MISSOURI!

haha, greasywheels is a prophet.

if kw made this trade i would riot.... lisa dergan is the only untouchable on this team

i worked with a bunch of mexican americans and they've made huge strides in how much english they speak in a few short months... this thread is just blah...blah blah...then point...then more blah

cause he did the day-o song

QUOTE(hammerhead johnson @ Jan 9, 2006 -> 02:43 AM) Townsend is a legendary guitarist. He's in the same class as Jeff Beck, Jimmy Page, Mick Taylor, Peter Green, Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, David Gilmour, George Harrison, etc. He is my personal favorite from that bunch. Like I said in another thread, there are a good 25 to 30 soundboard concerts from 1968 to 1975 where his legendary guitar is on display. Get you some. The voice is also an instrument, correct? Roger Daltrey was always one of the elite singers in classic rock IMO. townshend is a great guitarist ... but technically speaking is not that elite...same with gilmour ...he's no where near the levels of those around him in your list. He was very innovative, yes. BUt he was the best as a composer and songwriter... but moon and entwhistle were technically some of my favorites ever. Entwhistle was amazing at bass.

QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Jan 8, 2006 -> 02:13 PM) I love the Townsend/Daltrey/Entwistle/Moon Who. I respected the Townsend/Daltrey/Entwhstle/Jones Who. I accepted the one-off gigs and was happy for them with their success on the Tommy Revival. That said, they should have called it a career as anything with 'Who' in their name after John Entwhistle died. i should've read what you wrote, my sentiments exactly...all the best musicians are gone from that band...townshend was a great composer but entwhistle and moon were incredible at their instruments

you mean roger daltry and pete townshend... not the who.

wow wow, first decide if you'd like to go to a city school or a podunk college town, because both have their disadvantages/advantages. City schools have less diversity in students (goal/attitude wise not ethnicity wise) and the travel and housing are sometimes rough, but the shows, experience, city, job opportunities and bars are a huge plus. Money = issue. podunk college towns - more different types of people. Everything revolves around the college, you can beat the s*** out of everything and get away with a lot more...you have to visits college to understand this one i guess. then once you decide that...NIU has a couple of advantages IMO, i had two brothers go there...one, the Div 1A sports, two, the business school, and three, its close to home but far enough where you feel like you haven't gone anywhere, and its growing as a city and getting more restaurants and walmarts and such. SIU is fun as hell for parties..that's all i know. EIU is a school i don't know s*** about

i think people shared how whoever that was felt about high tension. from what i hear the director got over his head but the last 15 minute retarded plot twist wasn't enough to ruin the extremely dark and doomed nature of the film. I think people liked the fact that there was absolutely no comic relief. um...i won't see it because i don't want to see another horror movie after seeing audition...

QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ Jan 8, 2006 -> 07:57 PM) I saw this, and it was a nixed trade. However, you guys will ignore the above sentence and turn this into a 30 page thread.

Pulp - This is Hardcore Sylvia i love this song...i sing it like an anthem...

QUOTE(Pauly8509CWS @ Jan 4, 2006 -> 04:51 PM) New Strokes album is pretty good. I'd suggest it, plus the booklet in the album has cool artwork, not that it matters but it's still kinda neat. yuck...the cover was gross i'm pretty mixed...i thought it could have been an incredible EP, but as it stands...by far their worst record. A shame because is this it and half of room on fire were great

QUOTE(santo=dorf @ Jan 4, 2006 -> 07:31 PM) Tejada has never hit 35 homers in a season. he's also never played in the cell for 80 games... um...i guess its an alrite trade, but i would like to know what "top pitching prospect is"

QUOTE(whitesox1976 @ Dec 31, 2005 -> 07:48 AM) Being the defending Champions, alot of people will show up. $3 million is a lot but 2.5 should be a reasonable goal. theres really no need for a dollar sign there unless you are saying $3 million dollars is a lot, in which case, i agree
