Well that's the 2nd time we've done that in as many years now. And did we really have KBS setting a pick on the inbound defender when Carlton couldn't run the baseline?!?!?! LOL

I feel like I need to apologize to the rest of the country that you guys have to watch at least 5 more minutes of this crap.

If they put any kind of pressure on the inbounds passer here, it's guaranteed that we throw it away.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Nov 16, 2010 -> 11:41 AM) SIU's half court defense has been very good today. They are just killing themselves with turnovers though which have let Northeastern get into transition in the 2nd half. Also, as an unbiased observer SIU has been on the short end of the stick on the calls in the last 5 minutes. Ya, the turnovers have lead to a ton of easy points, still the transition d has been pretty ugly even when we've had opportunities to get back. Half court defense continues to impress though. And there has been odd and phantom calls on both sides. That T on the Northeastern dunk a few minutes ago was laughable. And whichever player has position on either side is seemingly the one getting called for the foul, makes no sense.

Our talent level is just so sad. And it's just fantastic to see that in his 7th season as a head coach Chris Lowery still doesn't understand how to run a zone offense or have an effective inbounds plays, f***in pathetic. On the positive side(I have to find something) our half court defense actually looked pretty decent that half. Hopefully when we're not completely outclassed like we were against the Illini we can be an above average defensive team this season. Also, if Stephen Bardo(a guy who is usually pretty well educated on SIU, he is from Carbondale after all) brings up Floorburn U again, I'm going to drive down to Carbondale and kick him in the face, that stuff died when the remaining starters from the sweet 16 team departed, and it's embarrassing for this group to be mentioned with it.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Nov 16, 2010 -> 07:38 AM) I think Cooper is 100% right when he stated flat-out that Sale will be in the big leagues next year. If no starter is traded and Peavy comes back, he'll be in the bullpen. If we plan on contending(which we always do) then Chris will definitely be in the bullpen to start the season.

So who is excited for SIU-Northeastern in 50 minutes? It is actually pretty fun to wake up this early just to watch a basketball game.

QUOTE (MurcieOne @ Nov 15, 2010 -> 11:12 PM) Who has played better this season? With out looking at stats, Phillip Rivers would be the only one I can even think of off the top of my head.

QUOTE (zenryan @ Nov 15, 2010 -> 10:42 PM) Please someone hire Gruden to be a coach so we dont have to hear him slurp the nuts of every player to ever put on a football jersey. I sincerely hope Tebow doesn't score a td next week or it's going to be unbearable with Gruden.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Nov 15, 2010 -> 06:18 PM) Looking at the replays of Favre's interceptions, he seems to have a bad case of Jay Cutler Syndrome. That is, his WRs are falling down, or the balls get tipped off their hands right at a DB and the fans all jump on him for it and say he sucks. He does right now actually, but that's not the point. His receivers did fall down yesterday but both those passes, especially the one to Shiancoe were thrown way behind his players anyways.

QUOTE (Brian @ Nov 15, 2010 -> 11:43 AM) Really ESPN? Really? The Cowboys win is big because they are now 2-8 on the season? Really? 2-7. Obviously your point remains valid though.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Oct 3, 2010 -> 11:54 PM) Finally got myself back under 200 pounds this week. Think this is the first time I've been there since early in my freshman year of college. By drinking way too damn much and eating too much drunk food I managed to get up close to 230 late last year and I've never been that big before, was pretty awful. Finally got away from Carbondale and changed my eating habits and have been absolutely killing myself working out and finally reached that goal weight of getting under 200 while gaining some of my muscle back. Feels real good, still got some work to do though before I get exactly where I want to be. Down to 187.

Seriously, why the f*** would we mess with our uniforms?!?!?! Unreal.

QUOTE (zenryan @ Nov 13, 2010 -> 03:52 PM) Congrats on Utah for being the most overranked team in the history of the BCS. Getting rolled by Notre Dame as we speak. They probably just weren't up for the game since they lost their national title hopes last week.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Nov 14, 2010 -> 09:36 AM) And so it was. You cant turn over the ball that much, plus miss all of those layups and bunnies and hope to win. The Illini just enforced their will on those JUCOs and made them look bad. I cant wait until Lowery is gone Lowery is just an embarrassment.

Well, SIU-Illinois tonight. This should be embarrassing.

Just go downtown and bar hop. Nashville is a f***in blast.

QUOTE (Brian @ Nov 12, 2010 -> 10:44 PM) Holy sh*t, Kevin Love Ok game.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Nov 12, 2010 -> 04:18 PM) That's what some said about Thome also Thome was still putting up a mid .800 ops with us, Dye couldn't bring .800 in 09 and that's while being one of the worst regulars in baseball the 2nd half of that season. Not to mention he's been out of the game for a year now and it'd be a terrible pick up.

QUOTE (Lillian @ Nov 12, 2010 -> 06:10 AM) I have the same answer to this suggestion that I have to most of the candidates recommended on this forum, ie: "He is another right handed hitter, and this team desparately needs a LEFT HANDED BAT". Or just another good hitter or 3. But Dye makes no sense whatsoever at this point.

Miami might not be able to win 70 by the end of this calendar year. Hilarious.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Nov 11, 2010 -> 02:52 PM) Am I the only one that feels Danks has hit his ceiling? Not saying that's a bad thing. But it seems for the last couple years he was expected to have that 'dominant' season which vaults him into the elite. He's been roughly the same pitcher for the last three years. He's still only 25(26 when the season starts), while it's certainly possible that he's reached his ceiling, I think he's still far too young to say that for sure.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Nov 10, 2010 -> 07:13 PM) Alexei had 768 fielding chances... Jeter had 553. That's a difference of more than 200. Seriously it's no wonder Jeter only had 6 errors... at least he fields the balls that are hit right to him cleanly. hahahaha, that's ridiculous.

QUOTE (Brian @ Nov 10, 2010 -> 11:36 AM) How so? As long as Kobe is healthy, they have a shot. No, they absolutely don't.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Nov 9, 2010 -> 10:14 AM) If the zombies are similar to those in The Walking Dead or the original Romero films, it might be kind of fun. And if they're similar to those in the new Romero films or 28 Days Later, that's simply terrifying. I've always wanted to fight zombies, seems like fun.
