QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Dec 29, 2009 -> 08:19 PM) Ugly basketball was the hallmark of their tournament run 02-07, so it doesnt phase me anymore And with that ugly drought, they were still only down 2 at the half Hell, I loved ugly ball back in the glory days. That was a different team though, this team can't do what they did and I just expect more offensively overall out of this group. They FINALLLLLLLLY showed what they can do in the 2nd half today. The defense was beautiful, the run outs, the shooting, everything was just pertty in the 2nd half and all with Kevin, Tony and Carlton on the bench. Good start, now here comes the tough road trip.

QUOTE (Brian @ Dec 29, 2009 -> 07:56 PM) We're a second half team...right? We're a last 2 minute of the game team apparently. Whatever, I'm getting used to the uglyness, lets just get a win.

I'm glad I just got to witness the most pathetic 10 minute stretch of basketball I've ever seen in my life. Holy f*** what a brutal half.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Dec 29, 2009 -> 04:24 PM) Not a fan either.. then again.. I got no one to blame than myself. I always win money, but then I get too cocky and keep gambling that same night... that is when trouble starts. Exactly what I did today. Went from up 160 to down 200 in about 10 minutes. I'm not too bright.

So every Valley game tonight opened in Vegas as Pick 'em except the SIU game, obviously some of those spreads have changed but that's absolutely nuts none the less. Hoping for the first time this year we actually come to play for 40 minutes otherwise it might be a long night. Indiana State is much improved and even though it's a home game, I'd bet there is about a whole 12 people at the arena tonight.

I hate casinos.

Good thing Aromawhateveretc hasn't played this season 'til 3 weeks ago.

QUOTE (fathom @ Dec 28, 2009 -> 11:51 PM) Matt Forte's lack of burst this season is amazing. He should have easily picked up the first down on that 3rd down play. That's what happens when you carry the ball a billion times in your rookie season.

I'm surprised the ref didn't explain that the game can end in a tie, for the Donovan Mcnabb's of the world.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Dec 28, 2009 -> 11:38 PM) How often do you see a player get helped up by an official? If I was the ref, I would have kicked him.

QUOTE (Hawkfan @ Dec 28, 2009 -> 06:08 PM) I don't think it was a bad question to ponder, but in this message board you don't mess with TCQ. He has immunity for at least one more year. We're not talking Carlos Quentin vs. Albert Pujols here, we're talking about the near 2008 MVP vs. a prospect who has proven absolutely nothing above AA so far. There's nothing to ponder about this one.

Cmon now...

Vlad please.

But to be fair he used his very own, super-duper, extra special, top secret formula. lol. Wow, just wow.

Two posters I wish posted more. Happy bday guys!

QUOTE (whitesoxbrian @ Dec 27, 2009 -> 10:00 AM) Going into the year with a freshman QB and no starting LB's or your first LB off the bench (all who now are starting in the NFL), I didn't expect to be back in a January bowl game. It's USC. Yes you did.

QUOTE (kjshoe04 @ Dec 26, 2009 -> 11:13 AM) Sox Snuggie They have one of those?

Going to the game tonight. Help me god.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Dec 25, 2009 -> 11:21 PM) I'm pretty much in the single name phase like Cher, or Prince. I am this name from here on out just like my lone star state.. but I refuse to change my sig with the star and the old name of "Texsox" on it. I wonder what Jeremy Reed is up to now a days? What a tremendous prospect. He's got a chance to be the best player of all time.

QUOTE (MexSoxFan#1 @ Dec 25, 2009 -> 05:45 PM) That Sergio Martinez/Paul Williams matchup was a helluva fight,unfortunatly one of the judges was a complete moron scoring the fight lopsided towards Williams. Fantastic fight. Have absolutely no idea what the hell that one judge was watching.

QUOTE (Brian @ Dec 25, 2009 -> 10:28 AM) Ha. I'm not in college anymore. Now it is for protein shakes and stuff like that. I figured. Still thought I'd make the suggestion.

QUOTE (Brian @ Dec 25, 2009 -> 11:20 AM) Magic Bullett That thing's awesome. Be sure to make some alcohol smoothies.

Merry Christmas everyone! So onto the important things in life What gifts did everyone get? For me: I got a bunch of random White Sox crap including an absolutely awesome '83 Hoody SIU Hoody Blackhawks fleece Michael Jordan commemorative edition of Sports Illustrated 3rd season of LOST(Seen the first 2 seasons and fell in love with the show so my step brother just got me the whole 3rd season so I can catch up) And a bunch of cash Going to the grandmas later so I'm expecting to comeback with more cash and some gift cards

Played catchphrase last night at my aunts and one of the hints our team was given for one of the words was "choke," both me and my cousin right away shouted "CUBS." I'm not even a Cubs hater and she's not even that big of a baseball fan and it wasn't the right answer but that was the first thing that popped into both of our heads. I figured at least a few of you would get a kick out of that.
