QUOTE(Jordan4life_2006 @ Mar 30, 2006 -> 12:13 AM) LOL. Anyway, Jimbo can take over now. I don't care about Kansas enough to defend them. Ha, I'm just really giving Jimbo a hard time. Kansas is obviously going to be super talented next year but it is honestly really hard to bet on a Bill Self coached team.

QUOTE(Jordan4life_2006 @ Mar 30, 2006 -> 12:10 AM) I know. Kansas has choked on a fat one in the tourney the last couple years. But next year's team will be a lot more experienced. I agree, kind of like that 05 kansas team..oh wait.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Mar 30, 2006 -> 12:08 AM) Until they play a mid major in the 1st round and lose again. Ass.

QUOTE(Jordan4life_2006 @ Mar 30, 2006 -> 12:07 AM) You guys are gonna be scary good next year. Until the tournament.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Mar 30, 2006 -> 12:02 AM) If they both stay, Florida is preseason top 5 no doubt. I would be shocked if they both stay, and wouldn't be too surprised if both left. This draft is so weak so anybody that did anything in this tournament is a risk to leave. Noah really seems passionate about staying so I really do believe he's going to stay. Horford would be a bit of a later first round pick so he might stay as well, who knows.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Mar 29, 2006 -> 11:59 PM) Yeah some of these other teams such as Florida and Texas depend on who stays and who doesn't. Kansas will be in the top 5 just because they have everybody coming back and more talent coming in, but we'll see what Self does with it. I really believe Noah is going to stay so all they're going to have to worry about imo is Horford.

QUOTE(Jordan4life_2006 @ Mar 29, 2006 -> 11:54 PM) So who's the pre-season #1? I know it's too early, but predictions are so fun. Way to early, all depends on who stays and who leaves. UNC or Florida would be my guess though.

QUOTE(ZoomSlowik @ Mar 29, 2006 -> 11:43 PM) and I think the fans were a little swayed by the fact that Michael was on the team There you go, that's it basically.

QUOTE(SnB @ Mar 29, 2006 -> 11:44 PM) peanuts Fries or Onion Rings? Onion Rings Family Guy or the Simpsons?

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Mar 29, 2006 -> 11:43 PM) I think there is a very real chance Oden is going to Carmeloize Ohio State next year (and yes Oden has a lot of help too, but so did Carmelo with Duany, Warrick, McNamara, etc). He's definitely got a chance but man..college basketball is going to be so up next year compared to this year in terms of the talent level.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Mar 29, 2006 -> 11:39 PM) Next year is an Illini transition year anyways, so meh. Oden will be gone after next season anyways. I've been saying since Oden's JUNIOR year that he could start for at least 3/5 of NBA teams, but people think that's crazy talk. Dude is the best HS Center since Lew Alcindor. You are correct sir, that is apparently a huge factor. It's not crazy at all. This guy is unbelievably special, I really don't know any other way to put it.

QUOTE(IlliniKrush @ Mar 29, 2006 -> 11:37 PM) Whoa, no way, me too! It's like you two know each other or something.

QUOTE(danman31 @ Mar 29, 2006 -> 11:26 PM) I also thought Scheyer played well in the 2nd half, but I might be biased. He did play well. I agree on Budinger, he was impressive tonight.

QUOTE(rangercal @ Mar 29, 2006 -> 11:11 PM) Prior Mcdonalds or Burger king Mcdonalds College Football or the NFL?

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Mar 29, 2006 -> 10:57 PM) Also, SIU added a verbal in class of 2006 combo guard Tyrone Green of Southeastern Illinois CC. He is a pretty big guard at 6'3, 205 who is very athletic, a good defender, and can create his own shot according to scouting reports. Sounds like a solid fit for SIU, and will fit in perfectly in this SIU class going along with 6 foot sharp shooter Joshua Bone of Nashville. Yup, he was being recruited pretty hard by UNLV and I believe Tennessee as well. Sounds like his one weakness is shooting...so hey he'll fit right in. I'm still extremely excited about Bone, he's exactly what we need.

QUOTE(SSH2005 @ Mar 29, 2006 -> 09:41 PM) I think it's safe to say that he's healthy... Jim Thome (ST stats) 45 AB .422 AVG .536 OBP .933 SLG 1.469 OPS 6 HR 12 RBI 10 BB 6 SO What a horrible f***in spring.

Opening night. Can't wait.

QUOTE(SSH2005 @ Mar 29, 2006 -> 09:22 PM) Doubt it. I see a ton of people getting away with it at games. I do as well and that type of thing really pisses me off. Hopefully that will be taken care of though.

QUOTE(Hawkfan @ Mar 29, 2006 -> 09:16 PM) we'll see if they enforce it.. if you need me i'll be the guy smoking in the stands. And then getting escorted from the stands.

QUOTE(TheBigHurt @ Mar 29, 2006 -> 06:55 PM) Why the hell did the Sox vs. Cubs game end with a tie, and this one went to the 10th? :| It's up to the managers in spring training. Ozzie didn't have any pitchers left against the Cubs, so they just called it after 9.

QUOTE(GoSox05 @ Mar 29, 2006 -> 04:36 PM) i think the Sox will hit over 200 dingers again this year. There's no doubt.

QUOTE(LVSoxFan @ Mar 29, 2006 -> 04:33 PM) I don't mean to be a wet blanket because I know we got Thome for this but... I just hope we're not forgetting small ball/Ozzieball/smartball, whatever. Meaning: home runs are fun. There were tons of them. In 2004. Having said that, it sure is fun to watch! Um, Frank who? There were a ton of them last year as well. This team can manufacture runs if Pods is healthy but we're going to hit homeruns as well.
