Gtech up 6 at halftime. I wouldn't lie to you palehose

QUOTE(Palehosefan @ Mar 12, 2005 -> 12:36 PM) I didn't get to see them play, but gee thanks, you made me feel a whole lot better. I do my best

QUOTE(aboz56 @ Mar 12, 2005 -> 12:44 PM) Exactly. THe only kid I feel bad for is the one who fouled O'Bannon on the three. Meh, difference of opinion here. I really feel bad for Washington because he carried his team, he was the one who got him to that point and then he came up short on two ft's as a freaking freshman, I feel bad for the kid no matter what you say about him. IMO, just cause he grabs his jersey doesn't make him cockey, every single player does that but that's jmo.

QUOTE(whitesoxin' @ Mar 12, 2005 -> 12:40 PM) Wow, that really sucks for him. Free throws are not that hard, people! When your season is on the line, I'd say they're pretty damn hard. Washington played his ass off and for what it's worth both of those last ft's were left short, maybe he choked but maybe he just didn't have his legs underneath him anymore cause he carried memphis in the 2nd half. If it wasn't for him they aren't close in that game.

I feel real bad for him. He played his heart out.

My god. Memphis down 2, Washington going to the line for 3.

Charge called. Looked to me like a block.

This is one hell of a fricken game.

Darius Washington is a player. He's special.

I play on allstar and I'm able to win but I can't hit. I'm like 9 and 1. I lost my first game and after that I've thrown 9 straight shutouts.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Mar 12, 2005 -> 12:12 PM) This Louisville-Memphis game has been a real duzi. Louisville may be pulling away as its a 5 point game now, but Memphis sems to always answer. Memphis up 1 Real fun game to watch.

QUOTE(Palehosefan @ Mar 12, 2005 -> 11:07 AM) Kentucky will win the SEC and get a #1 seed, UNC and Illinois already have 2 more locked up. I think Arizona will win the Pac-10 tourney and finalize the last 1 seed over WF. I wouldnt be so sure, they have a hot LSU team to deal with tonight.

QUOTE(Palehosefan @ Mar 12, 2005 -> 11:20 AM) Thats probably a pretty good line to take. If UNC struggles early on against GT, it could be over, GT is on a completely different level than Clemson talent wise. I'm expecting Elder to go off against UNC today, someone always does. Palehose did you watch gtech play yesterday?? They looked like the gtech from last year and if they're getting their swagger back they can beat anyone, should be a pretty good game.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Mar 12, 2005 -> 02:00 AM) On a sidenote, I just took a note and maybe I'm wrong but are you sure Stanford is a lock? Because most people have UCLA rated ahead of Stanford and I know UCLA is a bubble team. But I could be wrong. On a sidenote, If I underrate a team it would be Washington. And I don't want to hear that stuff that Iowa gets in because of the AD, more wins against RPI 50 or better teams like gene pointd out. Big wins talk and Iowa has more then any bubble team. Thats what will get them in. The thing is, Pierce wnet out and Henderson came right in and has played fantastic. Plus Haluska gets more minutes and the Hawkeyes have a lot of talent. On a sidenote, ya there are definately more talented teams on the bubble, but talent doesn't get you in, wins do. Stanford and UCLA are both in imo. I think they're both pretty much locks even though I guess you can call UCLA a bubble team but I think they're pretty much in but that's jmo. I'd say Stanford is rated better then UCLA because they advanced further in their tourney and also Stanford beat UCLA twice. Stanford has a better SOS while UCLA is one spot better in the rpi(which probably means nothing this year). IMO, Stanford is rated higher then UCLA right now.

Indiana is popped.

I'm in. My name is Chisox3443.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Mar 10, 2005 -> 08:39 PM) While most of the time Rotoworld is pretty funny, their remarks on Contreras and Hernandez are absolutely stupid. Basically saying that they won't succeed based on four f***ing starts between the two? That's absolutely stupid... Especially when it's two veterans who already have their spots on the team. All they need to do is get their arms stretched out for the season and that's all they probably care about.

QUOTE(Palehosefan @ Mar 10, 2005 -> 05:11 PM) I really fail to see how Chris Paul is a 1st team AA and Sean May is only 2nd. Hype.

No surprise here.

QUOTE(Palehosefan @ Mar 10, 2005 -> 02:59 PM) Yeah Mpl the Duke fans let Kerr hear it also when they came to town. Duke fans chanted "Where's your daddy?". Rowand I agree about Paul being overrated. He's a heck of a player, but he's not gonna live up to the pre-season ACC POY hype. Its gonna be Redick likely, and 2nd it will be May. Here's an interesting article(atleast to me) about baiting the referees. http://www.accsports.com/exclusive_updates...sider030705.jsp Meh, Redick is probably going to win POY in the acc but he doesn't deserve it imo. JJ is still to easy to shut down in big games. JJ pisses me off during most games to tell you the truth, still to streaky for me and takes some awful shots at times.

Maryland is out, ND is out. WV is obviously in. I think UAB will be in now. Depaul is the definition of a bubble team now but I still think they get in.

QUOTE(Palehosefan @ Mar 10, 2005 -> 04:42 PM) It just really confused me because Hawk even said it right in front of McCarthy during the interview and Brandon didn't correct him. I'm assuming he was just being polite to Hawk. Either way, Brandon looked very impressive, I don't care what his velocity was or will be, he can pitch. I think that was it palehose. Brandon seems to have a lot of respect for Hawk and dj and just the organization and players in general. He probably didn't want to correct him on the air.

QUOTE(Palehosefan @ Mar 10, 2005 -> 04:32 PM) My question is, why does Hawk keep referring to BMac as "the 24 year old". Is Hawk nuts or am I the one going nuts thinking he's 21 going on 22 in July? It's hawk or atleast I think it is, otherwise I'm also going crazy.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Mar 10, 2005 -> 03:57 PM) I am going to start the hype right now. After watching this kid pitch, and listening to him talk to Hawk and DJ, I have no doubts that this kid could step into our rotation today. My question is if someone in the Sox rotation got hurt, would Brandon be the first one called up right now? Has he passed Diaz and Munoz with his outings this spring? Ozzie thinks so, and I agree with him. With his performance so far in the spring and how much ozzie seems to like him, yes I would think he'd be the 6th starter if and when we need him this year. Not a bad guy to have step in if you ask me.

Ha, that's awesome.
