QUOTE (jphat007 @ Nov 5, 2009 -> 11:08 AM) f*** man if Nix is at 2B and Teahen is at RF we might lose 100 games. Not going to happen. Calm down.

QUOTE (Kenny Hates Prospects @ Nov 5, 2009 -> 11:05 AM) Before the offseason began I mentioned Beltre on a reclamation deal with Beckham going to 2B. I'd like that kind of move because it beefs up our IF offense and defense, and it puts Beckham in a spot where he can be elite for the next 10 years. Count me in on the Adrian Beltre bandwagon.

QUOTE (G&T @ Nov 5, 2009 -> 11:03 AM) I wonder if there is money moving as well, which would require MLB approval. That might be the delay. Good point.

So for our last exhibtion game on Saturday we get to play Southern Indiana and THE Jamar Smith. Thought some of you U of I fans might find that interesting.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Nov 3, 2009 -> 06:13 PM) There is a big gap between their numbers. Before Danks' injury, not really. That being said, Jordan clearly isn't going to be on the 2010 opening day roster

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Nov 3, 2009 -> 05:49 PM) 82% less pickoffs. lol, that's ridiculous. I can't believe people would actually rather have Pods than Damon, that's insane.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Oct 28, 2009 -> 11:41 AM) Agreed. That throw was amazing. I've tried it.. your either not that accurate or most people just don't have the arm strength to pull that off. Meh.. for someone whose played the game, it isn't THAT hard. I do agree that throwing a strike with it might take you a while, but throwing a small ball 60 feet behind you in a windup.. no it isn't that hard at all. And that was a very generous strike he got. See I'm the complete opposite. I'm actually pretty freakin accurate throwing a football behind my back, throwing a baseball, I'd have 0 chance.

QUOTE (nitetrain8601 @ Nov 2, 2009 -> 08:20 PM) Probably. UIC's student body doesn't support the team. The only game I remember us selling out was against Georgia Tech in '04 which Cedric Banks almost singlehandledly beat #2 Georgia Tech. Heck of a game, but free throws cost us. Other than that, our Pavillion doesn't sell out for jack unless it's the opposing team's fans coming in. When I was in high school I was a bit of a UIC fan, Banks and Bailey were a blast to watch back than.

QUOTE (fathom @ Oct 30, 2009 -> 03:00 PM) Patterson very well may be the best all-around player in college basketball this season. I think Wall is overrated, but he's still probably the best point guard in college basketball. Throw in guys like Cousins and Bledsoe to go along with Miller/Orton/Dodson and you have an extremely talented team. Yup, complete agreement here. Since the regular season starts a week from today with a few games, I'll throw in my pre season final four pick: Kansas Kentucky Texas Butler

Just got home from our first exhibition game. Just fun to be back at the arena, the game was pretty much what I expected, our guards are really f***in good, our bigs are really f***in retarded.

I like how we got 3 votes in the coaches poll. Our first exhibition game is tomorrow, CAN'T f***IN WAIT.

We had unofficial halloween down here last weekend. Me and a few of my buddies went as a bunch of senile old men. It was awesome. That's me on the right, and yes I shaved my head for it.

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Oct 30, 2009 -> 02:21 PM) Stop.Raining. ^^^ Been terrible in Carbondale the last few days.

My prediction: This team will be better than last years.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Oct 23, 2009 -> 05:26 PM) He mentioned Jenks and Alexei to the Red Sox for Bard, Ellsbury, and Okajima. Again.. that was his proposal. Yes, please.

I was on the other side of the park that night. Definitely still get goosebumps. Amazingness.

QUOTE (Capn12 @ Oct 22, 2009 -> 03:21 PM) Our conference refs are an absolute joke. Need more evidence? Don't forget this wonderful 'neutral officiating' bit. lol, that never gets old. QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Oct 22, 2009 -> 03:26 PM) I'm worried about this weekend's game, Iowa hasn't won at Michigan State in 14 years (dating back to 1995). I honestly think this might be the game you guys slip up. My step brother goes to Iowa, so I've been following them semi closely this year.

QUOTE (Kenny Hates Prospects @ Oct 22, 2009 -> 02:20 PM) I find Rampage annoying as f***. He makes lame, repetitive 8th grade jokes, and then as soon as someone calls him on it he gets butthurt. Rampage is a moron, a s***ty coach, and an overrated one-dimensional fighter. I just don't see the humor in picking on obvious things about people. If someone is fat then he makes fat jokes. If someone has bad teeth then he makes bad teeth jokes. If there's nothing wrong with someone's appearance, he resorts to bad breath jokes. He also loves to pick on people who can't/won't fight back. I hate that dude. We all know you have a big time bias against Rampage, so whatever. I find him quite hysterical. The end.

BTW, I know there's been a lot of arguing about Rampage around here lately, dude is obviously a little nuts, but he's f***in hilarious.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Oct 22, 2009 -> 10:21 AM) Anyone watch TUF Heavyweights last night? Zak got pummelled by Darril, Rampage is 0-6 vs Rashad. They are just leading up to Kimbo being thrown back out there. Why is he automatically the guy who goes back in if someone gets injured? It seems like he is the defacto "tag-in" if someone gets hurt, but I dont quite understand why I assume it's the coaches decision and since Rampage is in love with Kimbo, there you go. Not to mention, I'm sure Dana would push for it because of the ratings. I honestly don't think Kimbo is going to fight again though, I think they just keep teasing it to keep some extra viewers around.

This is the best thing to ever happen to television.

QUOTE (Brian @ Oct 12, 2009 -> 07:41 PM) Maroon Madness Friday! Can't go cause some dbag from this site decided that getting married this weekend was a good idea.

QUOTE (Jerksticks @ Oct 10, 2009 -> 10:55 PM) I dunno man; how do you trade for Jake Peavy? Cause he got expensive.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 6, 2009 -> 07:57 AM) Its a million dollars. To you and I that is a lot. In the baseball scheme of things, it is two minor leaguer's salary. It is like buying a lottery ticket for the powerball in terms of how much it cost us. At the end of the day, if he is "Fat Freddy" you cut him, and you don't care. That about sums it up. Welcome back, Freddy!

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Oct 4, 2009 -> 05:27 PM) Cutler didn't have the sexy numbers, but his TD/INT ratio stands at 8:5 heading into the bye which is very good especially since that 4 INT game. In 3 consecutive games now, he's had a 100+ QB Rating, and 7 TDs and 1 INT in those last 3 games. Didn't need any sexy numbers cause the field position the Bears had all game was just ridiculous.
