QUOTE(IlliniKrush @ Mar 19, 2008 -> 11:20 PM) I want you to explain how ice storms gave you a big scar on your head. Go ahead, I can't wait to hear it Will your shooting percentage automatically take a 20% hit just by playing on that floor? Hey shut it, you know the story, I blame ice, not myself. And ya, most likely.

I get to play ball for an im championship at the SIU arena next Wednesday. yay.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Mar 19, 2008 -> 03:07 PM) Based on the way he's being looked at going into this season compared to the way he's pitched the last two seasons (although he was a lot better last year), I'd say he is. And Buehrle might be my favorite player, but he's a #3 starter right now on a good team, and is regarded as a 1 and a half but a lot of people. Number 3 starters with 3.63 era's in the AL are all over the place.

QUOTE(kyyle23 @ Mar 19, 2008 -> 06:41 AM) The team has been jekyll and hyde all season, last night was no different. 'Tis the truth, it's just very frustrating.

QUOTE(kyyle23 @ Mar 19, 2008 -> 12:39 PM) Completely and utterly useless with bad weather. I would always laugh when it snowed or we got ice storms because you could guarantee at least 3 cars in the ditch on the way to school or work. They teach "slam on the brake or gas when roads are icy" at southern illinois DMVs, I am sure of it. I personally love the 1 inch of snow and every middle and high school has to be closed.

QUOTE(kyyle23 @ Mar 19, 2008 -> 06:47 AM) Spring is pretty crazy in Southern Illinois. Lots of ice storms melting into thunderstorms and back and forth, lots of water with nowhere for it to go. They dont quite have the drainage thing figured out yet, which is weird considering all of the man-made lakes in the area. go take a look at the Kincaid Lake spillway right now, I bet you it looks like Niagara falls Everything was nuts last night, Grand, Park, Wall and even 13 were all closed off for a while. Of course my friends and I are dumb asses and had to adventure around the whole damn city in shorts and were pretty much swimming in this stuff. Like you said, I'm not really sure what's up with the drainage here but it's awful, still last night is the worst I've seen it. Between this and the absolutely crazy ice storms last month(I got a big scar across my forehead for the rest of my life thanks to those), the weather has just been insane here and it sure doesn't help that people in Southern Illinois just don't know how to deal with bad weather.

Carbondale is literally under water right now. Absolutely nuts.

That game just pissed me off more about this season.

QUOTE(dasox24 @ Mar 18, 2008 -> 03:54 AM) Okay, so it's 4 am and I still haven't gone to bed yet... ...from yesterday. I'm about to crash. My sleep schedule is so messed up. Sleep is seriously overrated. I got to drive a friend to class in like 3 hours, I feel like I should just pull an all nighter, definitely thinking about it at least.

QUOTE(SoxFan101 @ Mar 17, 2008 -> 01:35 PM) I must be a homer but for some reason I expect good/avg years out of Contreras, Floyd, and Danks. I havent even watched a spring training game as of yet and I dont care if he gives up 20 runs in one inning. Isnt it pretty much common knowledge a lot of times pitchers will go in games working heavily on one pitch in which case they are obviously going to get rocked? To me that's just very unrealistic. I hope like hell you're right but the odds of all 3 of them succeeding is quite low.

QUOTE(dasox24 @ Mar 17, 2008 -> 04:25 PM) In... A final 4 of Tenn, Wisconsin, Stanford, and UCLA when it was all said and done. Guess who's winning it all? I already told you Tennessee sucks.

Just a random question but what games can you really not wait for(obviously not including your team)? For me: WKU-Drake Zaga-Davidson ORU-Pitt Those are the 3 I just can't wait to see.

How'd Matt look?

So Colon got rocked today but he definitely had some zip on his fastball. He'll be interesting to keep an eye on.

QUOTE(dasox24 @ Mar 17, 2008 -> 10:21 AM) Oh yeah... Hell, it's 10:22 in the morning and I still haven't gone to bed yet. Think I'll just stay up all day at this point. You're awesome. Tennessee still sucks though.

QUOTE(SnB @ Mar 17, 2008 -> 10:11 AM) its monday........and 10 am, hahahaha. Ya, so why aren't you drunk?

QUOTE(dasox24 @ Mar 17, 2008 -> 04:23 AM) So when I woke up this morning, I knew I had posted on here last night even though I was hammered. I couldn't remember what thread I posted in, so I opened up a bunch of threads until I saw the post, and it was completely coherent. Kinda surprised considering the fact I couldn't even remember what I posted... I went to class today drunk for the first time. Horrible idea, I feel like ass now. And woohoo for making that list, I feel special.

QUOTE(Brian @ Mar 16, 2008 -> 08:16 PM) Home game vs. Oklahoma State!!! Justin is waiting in line as we speak. Mullins is officially done for the year. This game is going to be ridiculously gross. I'm going to watch just for the humor.

QUOTE(jasonxctf @ Mar 16, 2008 -> 08:10 PM) how's a #10 ranked team a #7 seed again??? See Nevada last year. Butler had a crap load of good wins last year, this year...not so much. I think they're a great team but their resume isn't all that impressive this season.

Ugh. Gross.

NIT SELECTION SHOW Jeez, I can't believe I just said that.

QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ Mar 16, 2008 -> 07:35 PM) Finally, the topic of Indiana has been brought up with Knight. I wanted to see what would happen with that. Dicky V was campaigning for him to be the coach here again next year; Knight was just glaring "WTF?" the whole time. Quality stuff. That was fantastic.

Western Kentucky in the sweet 16(I think their game against Drake will be fantastic, winner to the s16 imo) Butler and WVU in the s16 ORU over Pitt Those are the major ones for me.

SIU got snubbed.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Mar 16, 2008 -> 06:03 PM) I can't decide if they do that because they want to see at least some mid majors in the 2nd round with a shot at the Sweet 16, or if they want mid majors gone as quickly as possible. I personally hate it, it's much more fun to have the mid majors play the big boys. That's why imo you didn't have as many upsets last season in the first round.
