QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Mar 10, 2011 -> 02:24 PM) salukitalk.net is just melting down right now, and the press conference hasnt happened yet I can't even watch the rest of it. He's officially back. Unf***inreal.

And it looks like Lowery is staying. f*** f*** f*** f*** f*** f*** f*** f*** f*** f*** f*** f*** f***

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Mar 10, 2011 -> 10:46 AM) Yeah, I'm a big Lee fan. That 2-run double off of Prior in game 6 is forever etched into my memory. Had to hate him while he was a Cub. But the love returned when he was traded to the Braves. I've just always had a ton of respect for Lee, Cubs or no Cubs. And Utley has been one of my favorite non White Sox players since he came into the league.

QUOTE (kjshoe04 @ Mar 9, 2011 -> 11:27 PM) Also I haven't seen a high school player in the past ten years that I like or respect less than Sobolewski. He seems like a spoiled baby. He seems like a complete douche, doesn't he? I got that same vibe from him.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Mar 10, 2011 -> 08:44 AM) So he never really got healthy from last year. That's too bad for Lee. QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Mar 10, 2011 -> 10:41 AM) Utley out for a while. http://philadelphia.phillies.mlb.com/news/...hi&c_id=phi Lucky for them they've got that staff. Their offense ain't lookin' so hot. Two of my favorite players, yeesh.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Mar 9, 2011 -> 11:00 PM) Anyone watch the Daniel Tosh: Happy Thoughts comedy special?? I really enjoy Tosh.O but I thought it sucked. There were some funny moments but overall it just did not make me laugh that much. I was a tad disappointed as well. It was ok but nothing special. I love Tosh as well so I was expecting big things.

Can we get Kwame Brown out of the f***in league already? Thank you.

QUOTE (Brian @ Mar 9, 2011 -> 04:32 PM) How is beating Simeon bad? Sobolewski good, Kaminsky overrated. Sobolewski is really good, not sure how that's going to translate at NU but that kid can definitely play. I actually like Kaminsky as well, he's not exactly a banger down low but he's decently athletic for a 7 footer and can shoot as well, he'll be just fine at Wiscy.

The Heat are seriously just becoming a joke.

That Sun Belt final was real fun. Gotta love March!

QUOTE (pittshoganerkoff @ Mar 8, 2011 -> 11:30 AM) Thanks for the feedback. I'm torn between staying at one of the big waterparks and staying at a hotel that offers discounted or free tickets to Noah's Ark or Chula Vista or Mt Olympus. I could save money by staying at a basic hotel, but then I lose the convienence of being able to just run down to the waterpark for an hour or so at night. Has anyone stayed at any of the big waterparks? How was the cleanliness? You HAVE to go to Noah's Ark if you're in the dells. When I was your kids age, that was pretty much my favorite place in the world, they'll have a blast. The hotel waterparks are certainly nice but they don't compare to Noah's Ark.

Ya, I don't think Rose and Westbrook would exactly be the best fit for each other.

QUOTE (kev211 @ Mar 7, 2011 -> 09:50 PM) Just saw this now, and it made me happy I don't get it. In all seriousness, it took both of you posting that to make me realize what the hell it was. Didn't realize it was Red Bird arena at first, I'm a little slow...

ODU and Gonzaga are going to be real tough outs in the tourny. St. Mary's is directly on the bubble now, only one top 50 win but it's a good one, the weakness of the bubble makes me believe they'll get in. Something very interesting of note with the Gaels is they actually scheduled an extra game against Weber State after the WCC tourny, you hardly ever see that.

That's the beauty of the Bulls, they can just be horrendous on offense and still win games because their defense is so damn good. Just keep winning and at least get the 2 seed!

Even being at home, this seems like the type of game where the Bulls have one of their let downs, hopefully they don't let that happen.

QUOTE (Palehosefan @ Mar 7, 2011 -> 05:44 PM) Got my basketball wish today with Pat Knight fired. Hopefully you other guys will get your wishes soon as well. I'm becoming nervous that I wont get mine. Anyways, very loud atmosphere at the CAA title game. Pretty cool.

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Mar 7, 2011 -> 04:19 PM) Just tell them that if their kid isn't good enough then they should put in extra effort outside of practice and games to improve. I try to be nice about it as I have a great group of kids and I certainly don't want to make any of them feel bad. That being said, everyone gets a good amount of time no matter what, the only real difference in playing time is the top 3 players on my team play most of the 4th quarter where as some of the weaker kids will only play 2 or 3 minutes in said quarter. I understand that all parents would like to see their kids in at the end of games but just as they think it's unfair that they don't play at the end of the 4th, it'd be just as unfair to my better kids if we weren't trying to win games.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Mar 7, 2011 -> 04:26 PM) My big issue with the bolded is what's going on in the big east right now. It seems that the media loves to hype the big east because of how "competitive" it is. Well, it's pretty easy to hype that when you have so many teams. If highly ranked team A beats lowly ranked team B, it's somehow an excusable loss because of how tough the conference is. I mean which would you rather have, a conference with 3-4 top 25 ranked teams that have dominated the conference, or a conference with 5-6 legit top 25 teams that have lost some games to the lower end of the conference (of course purdue losting to iowa screws up this argument, but that's just one game)? Also, why is Michigan the 4 and Illinois is the 5 in the standings? Anyone know? Didn't Illinois win the head to head? And they have identical records. I don't get it. It all depends how you look at the conferences I guess. The big east is deep for the fact that they have 11 solid teams but imo they have 0 championship contenders so it's not exactly the best conference ever as some people have made it out to be. I'm not sure what the big 10 tiebreakers are when it comes to more than 2 teams(I'd guess round robin record between all parties involved) but since there's a 4 way tie and not just two teams, head to head gets tossed out the window as the tiebreaker.

Ha, the parent complaining for the last 3 weeks or so for my basketball team has definitely hit an all time high. 2 of the 3 last weeks have been real close games so I've played my best kids for about the last 6 minutes of each of those games and apparently that's too much. Everyone gets equal playing time for the first 3 quarters but in the 4th I try to win the game and I guess some parents don't like that.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Mar 7, 2011 -> 01:56 AM) About to watch a re-run of Breakout Kings, which aired tonight. It's from the writers of Prison Break, which is one of my alltime favorite shows, and probably the best character on the show, T-Bag, is a spin-off character in Breakout Kings. The reviews on the pilot episode have been really good, so I'm stoked. I saw it, it was solid, not great imo. Waiting for next week when Serinda Swan shows up. Never heard of her before this show but my god she is fine.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Mar 7, 2011 -> 08:10 AM) This really isn't a bad year for Indiana. Notre Dame is having their best year in forever, Purdue has been great, plus ISU is in the dance, and Valpo has a chance at it as well. Valpo got eliminated last night.

QUOTE (Brian @ Mar 6, 2011 -> 07:51 PM) That's what I meant. Ill st may have been the best in the mvc the past two years but couldn't win conference tourney and rightfully were left out. Our stupid NIT year, I was convinced that Illinois State was the best team in the conference but they just couldn't get the job done. That team had a ton of freakin talent. Adding to the possible "cinderella" list, the fighting Keith Benson's can obviously give someone a run for their money assuming they win the summit tourny and I actually like this Gonzaga team for a possible sweet 16 run if they get in and get the right matchups, though they're obviously not exactly an underdog type team anymore. Other than that, I don't see many mid majors that are all that good this year but the top teams aren't exactly great either so who the f*** knows.
