QUOTE (ZoomSlowik @ Feb 8, 2011 -> 10:24 AM) I realize I'm way late to this party, but I'd say Kyrie Irving can be a pretty solid PG if he gets over that weird toe injury and Perry Jones, while raw, has a ton of potential. Some might also say Enes Kanter, who hasn't played this year but supposedly destroyed the US big men (including Sullinger) at the Nike Hoops Summit. There's certainly no slam-dunk savior at the top though. If I have the number 1 pick he's by far and away the guy I'm taking. Like you said, he's far from a sure thing but I love his upside.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Feb 7, 2011 -> 10:00 PM) Whatever happened to Barnes? Maybe Cavs suck next year (ok, they will suck next year) and can snag Barnes then. His draft stock has slipped since he's had a down year compared to what people thought he'd do. He'll still be a top 10 pick when he comes out(whether that's this year or next) but he's no longer the consensus 1 like he was before the season started.

Everything against USI was before Watson got there, he was hired to clean up the program. Like I said, I don't know a ton about him as a basketball coach but from all reports he's about as classy as they come.

QUOTE (fathom @ Feb 7, 2011 -> 05:47 PM) Who's Rodney? Rodney Watson. Assistant for SIU forever then went to Southern Indiana and has been the head coach there for a couple years now. He's been absolutely dominant at USI but he had Jamar Smith last year and a pretty damn talented team for a D2 school. No clue what the talent looks like this year but these obviously aren't all players that he recruited in, so it's hard to get a good read obviously. To be honest, I just don't know enough about him to make an informed opinion.. That being said, Brian and I have talked about this and the one thing we both agree on is that we want SIU to actually hold a national coaching search and not just automatically stay in the SIU family like they've done for years now.

QUOTE (Brian @ Feb 7, 2011 -> 04:25 PM) Calling Chris Collins. /wishful thinking If Lowery does indeed get axed, I'd assume Rodney would be the safe bet to get the job but that's just an educated guess from me.

QUOTE (fathom @ Feb 7, 2011 -> 05:11 PM) I've heard he's out, but I'm sure you have better sources than I do. Everything that I've heard is that this past week was indeed the final straw but like I said, I'll believe it when I see it. At this point, I just expect the worst out of everything from this program so who knows.

QUOTE (fathom @ Feb 7, 2011 -> 03:58 PM) I'm thrilled with this season, as it was the nail in the coffin for Hewitt. A .500 conference record, and you never know if they bring him back. Hopefully I can say the same about Lowery. It's looking more and more likely that he will indeed be fired but I wont believe it until I see it.

So why did people cry during Toy Story 3? I know I'm like the only person in the world but I was quite disappointed in it.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Feb 7, 2011 -> 11:04 AM) Wow...so on Saturday I'm cutting my hair. Giving myself a #4 buzz and I started buzzing and realized my razor needed some oil on it. So I take the guarder off, put some oil on it, and go back to my haircut. Take two huge swipes out of the middle and as I do it I'm looking at my hair that has come off thinking, wow, I didn't realize my hair was that long. Than my wife walks in and starts laughing hysterically (literally falls on the ground laughing to the point that it hurts) and I put my glasses on and realize I'm bald as a cue ball (I forgot to put the guarder back on). So now for a couple weeks, I will have no hair. Well that wasn't smart.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Feb 6, 2011 -> 03:16 PM) If i'm looking at myself in the mirror it's not because I'm being vain, it's because I'm trying to make sure I'm isolating whatever muscle I'm working on and not cheating with my back (usually with curls) but unless you do it a bunch of times in a row I'm not going to be pissed if you get in front of me for 2 seconds. Ya, I also stand by the mirror when I'm doing curls. QUOTE (dasox24 @ Feb 6, 2011 -> 04:14 PM) This for sure... And it's really bad at this time of year to workout on college campuses. It's packed all day b/c so many dumbasses think if they start working out 4 weeks before Spring Break, they're going to look awesome. Can't wait til late March when the crowds die down. That crowd at my gym is already gone thankfully. I hate it when my club is packed so the first few weeks of the new year are not fun.

Hate it when someone comes on the treadmill next to me when there's a million open ones around. Also, when guys walk around the locker room butt ass naked for no god damn reason, put on some f***in clothes!!

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Feb 6, 2011 -> 01:14 AM) And hopefully you lived through it. Since it was only 9:50 when you posted, you still may have caved and went out. Oh I would've went out if my friends weren't so damn hungover from Friday.

Oakland's just a stupid city.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Feb 5, 2011 -> 11:37 PM) Damn Golden State had a nice plan for tonight. Throw the aggressive double at Rose, and make someone else beat you. The rest of the team just looked lost. This is just oogly. Just chalk it up as "one of those nights" and move on.

Jones!!!!!!!! Gets his title shot now!

As a SIU fan it's hard for me to say that Weber deserves to be fired buuuuuuut he needs to put up results and quickly or he belongs on the hot seat for sure. That being said, he's more than welcome back at SIU.

I usually hate not going out on weekends but I gotta admit, sitting at home watching the Bulls+UFC 126, drinking a few beers and eating chips and salsa ain't too bad.

QUOTE (DBAHO @ Feb 5, 2011 -> 09:39 PM) U would hav gon eall Derrick Rose on the basket if he was there 1 on 1 wouldn;t u. Haha, I love drunk DBAHO I shall crack open a beer in honor of you right now.

QUOTE (DBAHO @ Feb 5, 2011 -> 10:12 PM) I hope u chaed afta him, flipped his bike ova, and he's feeli sorry for himself in the hospital right now.... By the time I got people off of me, he was gone. Probably for the better, as I was too damn drunk to show any discretion and might have hurt the kid real badly.

Leaving a bar at 4 am last night(this morning I guess) some dude who was trying to pick a fight with a buddy of mine, ends up spitting on me and proceeds to run away and get on a bike and ride off, it was quite odd.

QUOTE (ChrisLikesBaseball @ Feb 5, 2011 -> 09:34 PM) Marcum is one of my favorite pitchers in the league, so I understand that him leaving opens up a hole, but I didn't say they were suddenly elite, I said I like what they've done and I could see them making the East more competitive than it has been in recent history. Who's left that's elite? The Red Sox and Phillies are the only teams that I consider in that category. On paper those are definitely the two elite teams coming into this season. I like what the O's have done as well this offseason but they're still far away from being a playoff contender. The Blue Jays on the other hand, I don't see improvement from at all.

QUOTE (knightni @ Feb 5, 2011 -> 09:33 PM) All I know is, Five Hour Energy is a huge scam. Man, I completely disagree. That stuff works like a charm for me.

QUOTE (G&T @ Feb 5, 2011 -> 07:45 AM) My brother drinks coke in the morning because he doesn't like coffee. Anyone else do that? Before I cut pop out, I used to do this all the time.

Balta's call about the fantasy team is a good one too.
