QUOTE(kyyle23 @ Feb 22, 2006 -> 07:10 PM) There is an old animal testing facility near SIU campus that is abandoned. We used to visit that every halloween, creepy as hell. You have to walk this really long path to get there. And there is also a 19th century cemetary hidden in town that is rumored to be haunted. Both places are very creepy Hmm, I'll have to check those out.

Canada go bye bye.

There are 3 f***in games that involve 2 ranked teams today, 0 of them are on tv. That pisses me off.

I do not understand how anyone can be this dumb. How the hell does Isiah still have a job?

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAA and might I add BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAH

QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ Feb 22, 2006 -> 11:46 AM) Well there's just more good teams in the Big Ten, and basketball as a whole is down. I think after being tested night in and night out, the Big Ten will take advantage of the weaker tourney field. There's no way that at least 1 team in the Big Ten doesn't make it. I smell a sig bit.

QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ Feb 22, 2006 -> 10:28 AM) The Big Ten's just so much better this year. It's deeper this year but it was completely top heavy last year. What I mean is that Illinois and MSU were great teams, the b10 just had no depth to it, this year there is no great team in the b10 but it's deep as all hell. Like I said in my first post, I really doubt any big 10 teams gets to the ff.

GOOOOOOOOAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLL

I really doubt any big 10 team makes the final four. Before the brackets come out, I'd have to say OSU will be the team that can go the furthest. I do think however the big 10 has plenty of teams that can make it into the sweet 16, obviously it all depends on the pairings.

QUOTE(YASNY @ Feb 22, 2006 -> 03:00 AM) It's comparable in this way ... we had a great staff '03 and added Seaver to it during the off season. Ya, looking back on it, I'm shocked Seaver could still go in 04 at his age.

QUOTE(Gene Honda Civic @ Feb 21, 2006 -> 11:13 PM) Sure, Illinois only has 5 losses, but they played exactly one tough non-conference game, and that was for the ACC-Big10 challenge. Well just off the top of my head, they got the UNC game which you're referring to, they beat gtown and then also wichita state who's a top 20 rpi team.

QUOTE(Brian @ Feb 21, 2006 -> 10:30 PM) If there is a silver lining, SIU could get to MSG in the NIT. With the way we're playing right now, we're 1 and out in the NIT, which is fun.

QUOTE(Rex Hudler @ Feb 21, 2006 -> 10:17 PM) Damn, SIU can say hello to the NIT now. I must say I am shocked. This may sound weird because I am an Evansville grad, but as bad as Evansville has been, I'd have rather seen SIU win to give the conference a better chance in the Tournament. Plus, any win like this could only delay the Aces chances to get rid of their coach and start anew. We went from a virtual lock in the ncaa tournament to what's going to be a first round exit in the nit in one week. Doesn't get much better then that.

The definition of a choke: On the bubble, need to win out to get to the ncaa's and you go and lose to the worst f***in team in conference. Pathetic, pathetic, pathetic, pathetic, pathetic, pathetic. Unf***inbelievable. God damn it.

QUOTE(iWiN4PreP @ Feb 21, 2006 -> 09:12 PM) But what do you guys think about his mental tuffness? That always worries me a bit too. I think he proved his toughness by what he did in the post season last year. A rookie in the playoffs doesn't do what he did without being mentally tough.

This is unf***inbelievable. This team is totally dead.

QUOTE(illinilaw08 @ Feb 21, 2006 -> 09:30 PM) Is that game on tv tonight? SIU really needs this one. It's on espnu if you have it. This is a must win, we lose and we're done barring a mvc tourny win. This is a pathetic display of bball so far. Absolutely horrible

SIU down 8 to f***in Evansville with 13 minutes left. I might just kill someone if we lose this.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Feb 21, 2006 -> 05:36 PM) KU may beat the Zags but I don't think Ill would. KU would absolutely destroy zaga imo. I actually think Illinois would be able to take them down as well, a team that plays no offense vs a team that plays no defense. I'll take the team that plays d.

To hard to tell at this point, Griffey was on his way to it and one nagging injury just destroyed his chance.

QUOTE(The Critic @ Feb 21, 2006 -> 03:29 PM) I'll watch the WBC before I watch college basketball. It just does nothing for me. Not bashing the NCAA tourney, just stating my preference. No one cares.

QUOTE(Palehosefan @ Feb 21, 2006 -> 11:37 AM) He normally keeps any bias aside, and is very knowledgable about the game. I have a feeling they brought him in to counteract the outcry over Bilas/Vitale with Duke etc though. He does talk about UNC every single time he announces. Makes some joke about how they should be a top team or what not.

QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ Feb 21, 2006 -> 03:17 PM) March Madness. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ I'd also rather watch spring training games instead of the wbc to be honest.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Feb 20, 2006 -> 04:27 PM) Who's hitting behind him? I'd assume pee hands, though I guess he could bat in front of Bonds.
