QUOTE (greasywheels121 @ Feb 11, 2010 -> 08:19 PM) Forever my favorite player. Congratulations on a fantastic career, Frank. Was waiting for you to chime in. Started crying yet?

Bye bye Frank. Thanks for everything. Dude seriously might be the most underrated player of all time. :notworthy

QUOTE (Brian @ Feb 11, 2010 -> 07:38 PM) If "Beer Pong" was a winter event, you'd be more into it. Hell, that's a great idea. Maybe I'd get to participate in the olympics than.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Feb 11, 2010 -> 07:33 PM) America, f*** yeah. This^^^. I really couldn't care less about most of the sports in the olympics(besides Hockey) but I'll be watching to cheer on the good ol' US of A.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Feb 11, 2010 -> 06:58 PM) Heyman seems to agree, he just mentioned that the Tigers' offer may be north of $14M over 2 years but that Damon may prefer a 1 year deal. If it's just 1 year than overpay like crazy if need be. I've said this a billion times but this is the one remaining hole we have left on this ball club and he quite possibly could be the missing link to a championship(and yes I'm serious about this). As long as it's not going to hurt us in the future, which a 1 year contract wouldn't, then overpay if need be.

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Feb 11, 2010 -> 03:45 PM) How the hell wouldn't Damon fit Guillen's lineup. He does a lot of things that Ozzie wants from his hitters. Yeup and having Damon in front of Becks compared to Pierre in front of Gordo will make a HUGE difference.

Man, I love JD for everything he did here but god damn he sure has whined a lot about the so called crowded outfield.

I'd easily throw 2/14 at Damon. I'm sure it wont happen though.

QUOTE (Sonik22 @ Feb 11, 2010 -> 12:52 PM) Why do i still watch our games? I keep asking myself the same question. We know exactly how every game is going to end.

So Nick Evans quit our bball team today. Not a big blow but that's now 8 players in the last 4 seasons that have either left or got kicked off the team. There's also rumors that Anthony Booker is thinking about transferring(now that would be a tremendous hit), our program is just in shambles right now. I can't believe Lowery still has a job at this point, he needs to be gone by the end of the season.

QUOTE (bmags @ Feb 9, 2010 -> 07:41 PM) the person i was most excited to get was widger but apparenntly nobody ever forgot the widge That dude was a cult hero on here for a while, so that doesn't surprise me too much that he wasn't forgotten.

25/25, took me like 5 seconds to finish as well.

I can't imagine any better examples than Dexter and Mackey. Great calls right there.

QUOTE (Brian @ Feb 6, 2010 -> 01:24 PM) And don't forget the Salukis at 5 on ESPN2....oh joy. So ESPN accidentally brought all their trucks and what not to Carbondale, too bad the game is at UNI. Whoops...

QUOTE (Sonik22 @ Feb 5, 2010 -> 01:04 AM) My boxers are disappearing one by one, this is starting to piss me off Underpants gnomes.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Feb 5, 2010 -> 06:13 PM) I don't mean if they never drafted Manning, I mean, say he has a severe leg injury in the preseason at the beginning of this year. I'd say they'd be lucky to be 6-10, seriously. But anyways, I'm very indifferent on both of these teams. I guess I'm rooting for the Colts and I do think they'll win but I really couldn't care less.

QUOTE (SleepyWhiteSox @ Feb 5, 2010 -> 05:01 AM) Out of curiosity, tell me all about chris lowery. Kyyle summed it up perfectly. We're the worst coached team in basketball, not exaggerating either.

This has to be the most depressing thread ever. Besides the stupid Jayhawks, nobody's team seems to be doing well this season.

QUOTE (Pants Rowland @ Feb 4, 2010 -> 09:32 AM) I heard he is in the best shape of his life. Did he lose 30 lbs?

QUOTE (GoodAsGould @ Feb 3, 2010 -> 11:54 PM) Does SIU have any chance to be good next season?? I know Dillard only a sophomore so he should be back and I thought I remember a player from Minny or Wisconsin transferring over that was pretty good but dont know much else. Just transferred to Siu this year and dont know much about the athletics, always rooted for the Illini before. Hard to say. The talent is there but we're just so terribly coached so I can't give you a perfect answer here. To make a long asnwer short, yes we have a chance to be good, very good in fact but unless a coaching change is made, I'd expect a middle of the road Valley team. Now, if Lowery is replaced by a competent successor and everyone stays, I'd expect real big things from this group. Unfortunately, Lowery's not going anywhere so that point is moot. QUOTE (WilliamTell @ Feb 3, 2010 -> 11:56 PM) lol Arch Madness, gotta love the name. I haven't followed UNI as well this year since I graduated and left the area, but I was looking at their stats and they only get 10 assists per game, which seems REALLY low. I've only watched one game and they were pretty sloppy, which I understand is how they usually play this year. I don't expect them to do much in either Arch Madness or March Madness. Terrific defensive team. I wouldn't expect much more than a 1st round win in the NCAA's but if you get the right matchups, you never know.

QUOTE (WilliamTell @ Feb 3, 2010 -> 11:45 PM) UNI found a way to beat WSU tonight. 3 game lead! Ya, you guys pretty much wrapped up the league tonight so congrats on that. Just wait until we take you guys down at Arch Madness. Damn it, that's not even funny

QUOTE (Sonik22 @ Feb 3, 2010 -> 10:27 PM) I forgot what it felt like to win, that was nice No we're tied for 8th in the Valley, TAKE THAT EVERYONE ELSE. Very nice to see Teague continue his domination though.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Feb 2, 2010 -> 02:12 PM) If the Sox went with a straight 5-man rotation with no one getting skipped, and assuming Buehrle and Peavy are 1 and 2, both would make 33 starts, while Danks, Floyd, and Garcia would get 32, and thus really doesn't mean as much. What I do think you'll see happen this year is Buehrle (and others too) occasionally getting skipped and having Garcia or Hudson starting in their place. Not to mention you can re-shuffle the rotation at the all star break. This is a no brainer, it's Buehrle.

QUOTE (knightni @ Feb 2, 2010 -> 06:30 PM) Maybe they could just have a play-in weekend. Take 16 of the "auto-bid" teams that never win and have them play down til four of them are left. The "winners" will have played for the right to get slaughtered by the #1 seeds. That'd be absolutely no fair to anyone. There aren't 16 conferences that are bad enough to do that. I'm sure Kansas would have loved to have faced Davidson in the first round a few years back or Western Kentucky the last few years or Cornell this year, etc etc etc It's perfect the way it is, leave it alone, the end.
