QUOTE(SSH2005 @ Feb 28, 2006 -> 11:26 AM) http://www.sportsline.com/mlb/teams/report/CHW/9271158 Sounds like good news to me. Might be a reason why Kenny has been hard after him for a while. The Sox seem to be good at picking up mechanical flaws or tipping pitches(JC), would not surprise me if the Sox picked up on this, thought they could fix it and that was one of the reasons they've wanted him for a while.

QUOTE(nitetrain8601 @ Feb 28, 2006 -> 01:11 AM) Overrated. I went there a month ago after hearing so much about it and I thought it was good pizza, but nowhere near the hype. I'll stick with Giordano's. Pssh, Lou's>>>>>>>>>>>>Giordano's. There's not another meal in the world I'd rather have then Lou's, true story.

QUOTE(SleepyWhiteSox @ Feb 27, 2006 -> 11:59 PM) They get a lot harder towards the end... The average of all who take it is in the lower 20's, I think. 30's is a very, very good score. But who knows, maybe you are a genius. I don't know you well enough to know just how intelligent you are. I'm just speaking from experience because I've taken it. It's not as easy as you're making it sound. I was kind of disappointed when I saw which QBs had scored more than me. And what did you get sir?

QUOTE(IlliniKrush @ Feb 28, 2006 -> 12:00 AM) And i'd have to see who the 7 is in Gonzaga's bracket. I can't see them going further than the sweet 16...but i don't guarantee they lose first weekend like the Saluki over here does. It's become my guarantee, I'll even put it in my sig. Lets see if I'm Joe Naimath or Dmitry Young.

QUOTE(IlliniKrush @ Feb 28, 2006 -> 12:00 AM) It's hard to give you money that i don't even have yet You better be getting it soon or I'm going to be pissed cause I'm out 20 bucks. Speaking of that, let me know when you get it. Now back to your regularly scheduled thread.

QUOTE(illinilaw08 @ Feb 27, 2006 -> 11:50 PM) My bad, should have done my research on that one. Alcohol has clearly killed a lot of brain cells from the undergrad years. Haha, fair enough.

QUOTE(Rex Hudler @ Feb 27, 2006 -> 11:24 PM) Here's $20 that says Gonzaga will be in the Sweet 16. Any takers??? If Krush gives me my 20 bucks back then I'm down. Seriously, if I had any money I'd be down for that but poor college kid and so on. I'm up for a sig bet if you'd like?

QUOTE(illinilaw08 @ Feb 27, 2006 -> 11:25 PM) I honestly don't think they will get a 2. Gonzaga has been here before with the hype, the high ranking, and the very good record. I think the cupcake confrence they play in will hurt their seed once again (and rightfully so), but that's just IMHO. Eh, they were a 2, two years ago, a 3 last year, and they'll probably finish with a better record this year then last with a better rpi then last. If they win out, which they probably will and should then they'll be a 2 imo.

QUOTE(illinilaw08 @ Feb 27, 2006 -> 11:20 PM) Rankings don't matter, seeding does. They will not be a 1 or a 2 seed. As already has been mentioned, they can't control their conference. You have to give Gonzaga respect for playing tough competition outside of confrence play (espeicially since you can't fault Gonzaga that a lot of their competition underacheived). I still agree with you they are overrated, just not by as much as you do. They won't be a 1 but there is a good shot they get a 2.

QUOTE(illinilaw08 @ Feb 27, 2006 -> 11:16 PM) Depends on the seed and the draw they get IMO. If they play someone that can put a tall, athletic wing on Morrison, I agree with you. If Morrison goes off, I could see them surviving that first weekend. I don't like him, but if he gets hotter than a pistol, watch out. To be honest, I don't think it's going to matter whether Morrison goes off or not. They're one of the worst defensive teams in the country and they'll be exploited come tourny time imo.

QUOTE(Rex Hudler @ Feb 27, 2006 -> 11:08 PM) Maryland Michigan State UConn Washington Oklahoma State Virginia Memphis St. Joseph's Stanford I'd call that someone. In fact, I'd call it pretty damned impressive. They can't control their conference schedule, but they CAN control their out of conference schedule and it looks to me as if they have done that about as good as anyone. So they're 1 and 3 against tourny teams. I know I've said it enough but they won't get past the first weekend.

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Feb 27, 2006 -> 10:07 PM) Yeah, I know, I was kidding. A little tense there? And now that I see the edit, I must say, I pass class time by, how can I put this...paying attention? Weirdo.

QUOTE(Texsox @ Feb 27, 2006 -> 09:40 PM) Must be a newer place, have you been over to Bill's or Pat's (Mundelein and Grayslake) Bill's is right by my dads house, good stuff.

On a side note, we're the defending champs or something.

QUOTE(Chisoxrd5 @ Feb 27, 2006 -> 10:26 PM) I honestly can't see why any of you are so personally offended by this. Take a step back. Much like that olympic speed skating debauchary both of these two could have taken the high road, but they didn't. I side with most of what KW said but he got too personal for my liking. Oh well...whats done is done. But the sooner obsessed fan message boards stop talking about it, the sooner it will be forgotten. Eh..I agree with most of your post but until the media forgets about it, it ain't going away no matter what happens here. Anyways, hopefully it does die though, Kenny needs to start letting it go as well. The thing about the statue was uncalled for, the guy will and deserves one once he's retired.

QUOTE(Pauly8509CWS @ Feb 27, 2006 -> 10:22 PM) You shoulda seen him when they traded for JV. You shoulda seen him at soxfest. :headshake

QUOTE(IlliniKrush @ Feb 27, 2006 -> 10:15 PM) Gonzaga is gay Both of 'em are. Agreed about that not being called at osu.

Oklahoma is gay.

That's ridiculous.

Holy balls.

Oklahoma doing their typical s*** as well.

QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ Feb 27, 2006 -> 10:05 PM) They have no reason to drop yet though; they'll be exposed in the tourney, if that's the case. I'm not saying they're good, but they've done something that few other teams have done this year: avoid losing. No one else deserves to be ranked over them. Drop in the rankings? No, I agree they shouldnt, but they aren't a top 5 team though. They're gone in the first weekend.

QUOTE(IlliniKrush @ Feb 27, 2006 -> 10:03 PM) Zags hit a 3 with .9 left. They barely get by another POS opponent. At home. Gonzaga=not good.
