QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Feb 4, 2012 -> 10:13 AM) As an Illini fan I'm probably not supposed to say this, but Go Mizzou. I hope they beat Kansas by 48. Mizzou winning helps Illinois more than KU winning does. I'd also be pretty shocked if MU doesn't win. And let the record show that I hate Marquette and ND for making me miss UF-Vandy

Cats are awesome.

Shack, y2hh, I understand what you guys are saying but for cutting some belly fat it does work. And my best advice for anyone is to figure out what is best for you. I eat a ton of protein but supplementing my diet with protein shakes has allowed me to add muscle while trimming down body fat. Also, shack your last line is the best motivator of all and has been my primary motivation since I've gone fitness crazy.

And fish obviously. Tuna + a tiny bit of fat free mayo and add some green pepper, celery and onion, delicious tuna salad for dinner, I've become obsessed with that meal.

I really don't see what Gottlieb did wrong.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Feb 2, 2012 -> 09:04 AM) We still haven't gotten to enjoy enough of Rip on the court. He's going to make Boozer a much better player, someone just needs to tell him "no" when he keeps trying to come back early. Rip is so f***ing selfish and I've been saying it all year. His own statements have been that "there was no way I was going to not play in Detroit" - ridiculous, missed next two weeks with setback, and there was no way he was missing that national ABC game against the Heat - ridiculous, will miss a minimum of two more weeks with setback, and I'm guessing longer. We just need the Bulls somewhat healthy come playoff time. That's beyond harsh. He's a competitor just like Derrick, the coaches need to tell him no, nobody with a competitive edge is going to pull themselves out of a game.

QUOTE (bmags @ Feb 2, 2012 -> 09:15 AM) Denmon has been miserably cold the past 3 weeks. I still love him as a SG but he has some confidence issues right now. But flip pressey is the cure for all your PG ills. Ya but if you look at the full body of work he's still one of the best 2's in the country this year because as Fathom said, there ain't much as far as that position goes.

QUOTE (fathom @ Feb 2, 2012 -> 07:44 AM) I still believe that McDermott is having the best season this year in college basketball. If I had to pick an All-American team right now, I'd go with G-Pierre Jackson G- Wow, the shooting guard position SUCKS as well this year. Harrison Barnes and John Jenkins have underachieved. Since Royce White plays pg sometimes, can I list him as a guard F- McDermott F- Thomas Robinson C- Anthony Davis I said my piece about the pgs earlier so ill leave that one at that. Besides that, I see you're trying to be position dependent but McDermott, Jones and TRob all have to be 1st teamers. And sticking with that theme, if you're going with a pure sg it either has to be John Jenkins(Vandy has underachieved a bit but Jenkins has still been fantastic) or if not him then Marcus Denmon.

QUOTE (fathom @ Feb 1, 2012 -> 08:22 PM) I'm sure I'll get blasted by the hyperbole police, but I truly think this is the worst level of talent I've ever seen in college basketball. Hell, there's only two players in the power conferences averaging over 20 points, and I doubt many on here could guess who they are (Kevin Jones and T. Stoglin). The UCONN/Gtown game tonight was awful, and there are a handful of potential pros in that game. I'm certainly not going to blast you because I know you know your college hoops but I'm just going to say that I vehemently disagree. Anywho, underrated night of college ball tonight. SMU gets a big win vs Memphis, SDSU barely escapes with a Boise missed 3(poor school) and UNLV continues to be a team that has a legit shot at the ff. Fun stuff. And since Heads likes to point out Anthony Booker contributions, Doug McDermott is insanity.

QUOTE (fathom @ Feb 1, 2012 -> 08:43 PM) To me, it's cause the point guards in college basketball freaking suck. Jordan Taylor has been underwhelming this year, and two of the top freshman pg coming in (Teague and Kbongo) have been very disappointing. I said it earlier this year, but if I had to draft a pg for my college team, it would be Pierre Jackson. I'm a huge Pierre Jackson fan, not sure he'd be my first choice though. Top 5 for sure though with Scott Machado, Marshall, Dellevedova and Flip. PS Creighton is out of control.

Way to ruin a thread, j4l. I wonder how much college basketball you've ever watched. Nobody in their right mind would say that the college game is more skilled than the NBA game but there are plenty of reasons why people enjoy the college game more than they enjoy the nba game. Also, people need to stop saying that the talent level in college is down every f***in year. There are a few teams this year with elite level talent and if you want to watch good basketball watch some of the mids, this is the deepest class of mids we've had since I've started following college hoops.

QUOTE (kev211 @ Jan 30, 2012 -> 10:34 PM) Awesome Raw to make up for a lackluster rumble. Kane-Cena continues to be awful and I'm not thrilled that we're getting hhh-taker again but orton-ziggs was real good, punk-bryan was incredible and I'm pumped for the punk-jericho feud.

Punk-Bryan absolute epicness ends with the start of the Punk-Jericho feud. Absolutely fantastic.

QUOTE (Felix @ Jan 30, 2012 -> 09:01 PM) Yeah, I don't know. His shot selection has been a little better since getting back from injury, and he's been coming off the bench (which is MUCH better than starting), but this is clearly a fluke. Doesn't mean it isn't awesome, though! 5 boards for Love? Bizarro world for the Wolves though Rubio is still awesome.

QUOTE (Felix @ Jan 30, 2012 -> 08:29 PM) Howard >>>>>>> Noah That's what happens when the two teams shoot a combined 35% from the floor. Edit: Holy s***, and a combined 49% from the free throw line. That's some impressive basketball.

QUOTE (SouthSideTeacher @ Jan 30, 2012 -> 08:19 PM) Noah's pretty close to a triple double tonight--after 4 games worth of double doubles. still probably won't be enough of an effort to silence the haters. let's get rid of Noah--and damned near everyone else-- so we could bring in Howard, right? Correct. Nobody is hating on Noah for saying that we would trade him for the best center in basketball.

Bracketbusters announced today, headlined by Murray State-SMC. Wanted to see Creighton-SMC but I won't complain. Should be a fun weekend as there are a ton of good mids this season.

Buehrle and Konerko are both no brainers for a statue. AJ? No.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Jan 30, 2012 -> 02:33 PM) How so? They got the ball and Chalmers shot 2 free throws as a result. Well it worked out for them but the play itself in which the refs blew the whistle screwed Miami, wade saved the ball back to one of his teammates(forgot who it was) who would have had a layup or brought the ball back out to kill more clock.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Jan 30, 2012 -> 02:28 PM) Didn't we just learn that 3 superstars (or at worst, two superstars and one all star) with crap surrounding them is still not a guarantee to win it all? I don't get this trade the farm for Dwight stuff. No thanks. I'll take my chances with a healthy version of this years team. The Bulls should have won yesterday. That's despite the injuries and despite missing AT LEAST 6-7 lay-ups. Not contested floaters, but straight up lay-ups. Hamilton had about 4 on the break and Rose had 2-3. Nine times out of ten you get those to drop. Oh, and that game also included Lebron's ridiculous fall away three pointer with 2 seconds on the shot clock, and that complete screw job by the ref blowing the whistle and then Miami getting the ball. I'd say that was a B- effort by the Bulls and an A- effort from the Heat. And yet it was still decided in the final seconds. Rose-Howard is not Wade-Lebron, that comparison doesn't work. Oh and the refs blowing the whistle actually screwed the Heat not the Bulls.

If Dwight would sign an extension then this is a no brainer, you trade everything you have to except Derrick.

QUOTE (farmteam @ Jan 29, 2012 -> 10:36 PM) Well, if I had to pick between the two, I do like Evansville more. However, my best friend from college oversees all the food operations at Evansville's new arena, so I was rooting for the hometown team, so to speak. And for them to stop playing overtimes so he could go home Ahh gotcha. Was curious why a non mvc guy would bring up an extremely random valley game.

QUOTE (SuperSteve @ Jan 29, 2012 -> 10:17 PM) So I followed on a forum. Sheamus is one of my two favorites (Santino is the other) so that's neat! I can't wait to see highlights of Kofi, Ricardo, and the cobra versus socko too! Sheamus bores the hell out of me but oh well. Kofi's spot was cool, Morrison still has the coolest spot ever at last years rumble but Kingstons was neat too. And the goofball fest was fun as well. Besides that, it sucked.

QUOTE (SuperSteve @ Jan 29, 2012 -> 10:08 PM) Can I comment on specifics? Wouldn't want tobe a spoiler. It was a live event, comment away...

QUOTE (farmteam @ Jan 29, 2012 -> 09:30 PM) Let's go Evansville. It's Colt Ryan time! He good. Don't like the Sycs I take it?
