QUOTE (Brian @ Jan 15, 2009 -> 08:30 AM) Definitely. To have beaten Creighton in Omaha would of been a huge mental boost. Just gotta handle pressure and take care of the ball down the stretch. They showed some highlights on SportsCenter. Did Dillard even touch the kid at the end of regulation? Looked like he just put his hand up. Charge on Hare was a total flop as well. He blocked it and it was exactly that though, a clean block. That was a brutal call as was the charge on Hare. Still, you can't blow two leads like that but those are the kinds of things I expected this year. We're finally showing signs of getting better and a lot better. Took a long ass time but we're getting there. As for guarding P'Allen, he was unguardable to be completely honest. He was hitting shots with hands in his face all day, he's just a stud. Overall, that was a building block type game, we played really well on the road against a rival, just couldn't close. I can honestly say, this is the first time all year that I've started to gain some confidence in this squad.

QUOTE (The Critic @ Jan 6, 2009 -> 11:34 AM) Versteeg got in a last-second fight with one of the Coyotes last time and The Great Player, But Not Great Coach got sand in his crack about it. Lol, gotcha. Thanks.

QUOTE (DBAHO @ Jan 6, 2009 -> 10:33 AM) Will be interesting to see if the Yotes target Versteeg tonight. For the new comer hockey fan like myself, is there history there, I assume?

QUOTE (MHizzle85 @ Jan 6, 2009 -> 12:07 AM) I remember going to the arcade and wasting tokens upon tokens on all of these games. Indeed. The Simpsons and X Men games were definitely great arcade games. I just remember beating the Turtles game about a million times on Super Nintendo as it would only take like a hour.

We still don't have a ton of depth but I can't remember the last time our top 4 prospects have had that much potential. Definite upgrade over last season.

I still think Jon Garland would be the perfect pick up for this team but maybe that's just me.

I am bored out of my f'n mind.

Nice bounce back W here for the Hawks.

We're such a dumb f***in team, thanks to Dillard we're only down 36-31 at half though. Dillard's halftime line: 16 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists. Everyone else has just been pure garbage.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jan 4, 2009 -> 06:10 PM) Who cares what some USA Today writer said....a lot of Colts fans are still happy with what they accomplished and still really love the organization that's been assembled. Honestly, how could you not? The success of that franchise is tremendous. If the team never won a super bowl, I would understand some of the ripping but they've won theirs. Pretty garbage article imo.

UNC in a ton of trouble. SIU still looking like garbage so far, how nice.

QUOTE (Sec101Row1 @ Jan 4, 2009 -> 04:21 PM) Patrick Kane has been scratched for tonight. Blah, no good.

QUOTE (Rex Hudler @ Jan 4, 2009 -> 04:30 PM) I haven't paid as close of attention as usual this year. What's up with SIU this year? What seems to be the problem? What is their record right now? I'll save you a whole lot of reading and just say that literally everything is going wrong. We're 5-8 with no signs of improving at this point. I think everyone expected some growing pains with such a young group but we also expected for things to improve as the season went on, and so far we're just getting worse. There is some talented guys on this team but we just can't put everything together. If a team goes on a little bit of a run, everything just seems to collapse all at once and that's pretty much happened every game this season. It's just a bad basketball team at this point. EDIT: On a side note, your Aces are much, much improved this season.

QUOTE (Brian @ Jan 4, 2009 -> 04:19 PM) Hopefully will be on espn360 since I don't have ESPNU. This season will be easier to take if you just resign yourself to the fact we will take our lumps. Let the frosh and sophs play. Ya. As lost as he is right now, Booker needs to start playing more. He's a talented dude, he's just completely lost on the court at this point. I'd like to see his and Bocot's minutes go up a bit. We'll see though, Lowery isn't the type of coach that just lets the young guys play most of the time.

If anyone wants to watched a very confused basketball team, turn on espnu at 6.

QUOTE (Brian @ Jan 4, 2009 -> 04:02 PM) If they play, I see a penalty goal winner by Charlie Conway. Ha, well played.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jan 3, 2009 -> 10:38 PM) If Gonzales knows anything (I don't know if he has good connections or not), it seems that this type of deal would be predicated by the Sox dealing Dye, trading Floyd, and then resigning Roberts to an extension. One would then assume the Sox go out and sign Abreu, have Alexei start off at SS with the intention of moving him any given place where the team may need him in the future (I'd say either keeping him at SS with Beckham moving to 3B or Alexei to CF with Beckham staying at SS...it also doesn't rule out a potential dealing of Beckham and/or any of the other infielders the Sox have in the system). The lineup might very well be the best in the AL Central, but the pitching staff would struggle big time. Roberts - 2B Abreu - RF Quentin - LF Thome - DH Konerko - 1B Pierzynski - C Ramirez - SS Fields - 3B Anderson - CF Buehrle Danks pitcher acquired for Dye veteran retread/young pitcher young pitcher it all seems like a huge long shot to me in the long run, but mainly just trading for Roberts. Dye may or may not be traded either way and I'd put it at about 50/50. It'd be beyond weird to have a semi athletic lineup. Definitely love the looks of that lineup, you just can't win with that pitching staff though.

QUOTE (WhiteSoxfan1986 @ Dec 10, 2008 -> 03:37 PM) Jerry Owens For his sake, I hope he really doesn't read this site.

Hawks and Ducks vs. Canadiens and Penguins, eh?

Pennington was just f***in brutal. Baltimore is really, really dangerous though, I think they'll beat Tenn next week. BTW, a completely random point but how good have the punters been so far in these games? Ridiculous.

QUOTE (SnB @ Jan 3, 2009 -> 08:50 AM) mandy moore! Julie

QUOTE (juddling @ Jan 3, 2009 -> 04:36 AM) Now that Scrubs is coming to an end....i was thinking about which secondary (or third-ary) characters I'd like to see show up. My top three would be..... 1. Hooch (Hooch is crazy) 2. Gift Shop Girl (I know she's busy on Chuck) 3. Franklin (Maybe they can work in a Heroes reference for him..a line like "What do you want me to do??? I can't go back in time you know!) **TCW would be nice to see too Hooch for sure.

I'm going to jump in here and just say: ISU has played absolutely NOBODY and that can't be argued. But it also can't be argued that they have one of the best back courts in the nation. I honestly don't know how good they are yet but Champ and Osiris are that good. They'd be able to play with a lot of teams.

QUOTE (JoeBatterz @ Jan 2, 2009 -> 01:57 PM) Maybe he can derail their drive to 72. They wont get close. That record wont be broke in any of our life times. I really believe that.

Utah up 14-0 early.
