QUOTE(SoxAce @ Feb 28, 2008 -> 05:51 PM) So... who else is drinking tonight? This will make the 7th time in 8 days for me. (yesterday was my day off drinking) Haha. You should really come to SIU man. The only day I haven't drank for the last two weeks is each Monday(everyone always has s*** to do on Monday nights). And no I'm not depressed.

QUOTE(The Beast @ Feb 28, 2008 -> 04:47 PM) Why are some campuses having 'unofficial' St. Patrick's Day celebrations? It's a great excuse to drink all day and all night. We have one too and it was good times.

QUOTE(Sonik22 @ Feb 28, 2008 -> 03:21 PM) The SIU vs. isu game is on Comcast sports net up here in the chicago area Saturday night! Can't wait! I'm so ready to beat them, i hate isu soooo much! The arena is going to be f'n insane. Saturday night game, senior night and all the sudden it's a HUGE game. That place is going to be scary. Can't wait.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Feb 28, 2008 -> 12:50 PM) You live in Missouri. Never associate the word perfect with that state again. Coming from someone who lives in Iowa?

QUOTE(kjshoe04 @ Feb 28, 2008 -> 08:20 AM) If the game starts anything like the one in normal, the arena won't be rocking for long. I believe the score was 25-3 at one point. Different team and more importantly, different place. That crap isn't happening in Carbondale.

QUOTE(SoxAce @ Feb 26, 2008 -> 06:31 PM) But then again, other than Nuke, hi8is, maybe Tru or whitewashedin05', I doubt anyone here can out-drink me and I'll put a s***load of $$ on it. Damn I'm sounding like Pratt right now.. Me, Me, Me, Me, Me. I'll take you up on that, man.

Hello bubble.

QUOTE(IlliniKrush @ Feb 26, 2008 -> 12:09 AM) That's what the "Nights I'll never remember with the friends I'll never forget" shirt is for. Also, I don't know why Rowand44 is in this thread, he's not even 21, so he obviously has never had a beer in his life.* *And by life I mean in the past 5 hours** **Only like a 50% chance of this being true. You'll be glad to know that this is the first time in a week I haven't been drunk. Monday's are kind of the off night cause everyone has things to do. Back at it tomorrow though.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Feb 25, 2008 -> 11:21 PM) I passed out after four beers once. /end debate HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAAHHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAH HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH Ok, I'm done.

QUOTE(Brian @ Feb 25, 2008 -> 06:53 PM) Tyrone Green sucks. Nobody on SIU is close to being Mullins if you are picking a Saluki of the year, Green has actually been fantastic as of late. But ya, Mullins is by far and away the mvp of this team, it's not even close.

QUOTE(witesoxfan @ Feb 25, 2008 -> 12:44 PM) I think they are still very underrated, even considering they were a game away from going to the World Series last year. Agreed.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Feb 25, 2008 -> 02:38 PM) Row. SIU will win Arch Madness. I guarantee it. God I hope so. Talk to me tomorrow and I'll tell you how I feel on that one.

QUOTE(kjshoe04 @ Feb 25, 2008 -> 10:45 AM) As am I. It looks like the ISU vs. SIU game on March 1 could be the valley game of the year. Plus, I think those two teams will be the teams to beat in the Conference Tourney. I believe that both teams are better than Drake but the Valley refs do not favor the style of basketball that they play, by calling almost any contact a foul. Where as say Drake gets all the calls because they are not as athletic or physical and rely on the 3 too much. I don't like ISU's chance against the Salukis in Carbondale. But, Go Birds. A lot depends on what happens with this Ruffin situation but I'm starting to like our chances, though this team will really show how far they've come tomorrow. Also, ISU is directly on the bubble and all the sudden, so are we, so that should make the game on Saturday even more exciting. It's absolutely crazy but we've went from completely dead to having an outside shot at an at large. If we win our next 4(not expecting but just playing the what if game) and lose in the championship game in the Lou, we might just sneak in. Crazyness.

I kinda hope they hang around all season just so people freak out. Ya, I said it. Sue me.

Drunk=good.

Illinois State takes down Wright State and improves the Valley to 8-2 in the bracketbusters this year. Not bad. And now the real fun starts for this league. The teams fighting for 2-3-4-5 in the conference standings all play 2 other of those teams this week to conclude the season. Looking forward to it.

QUOTE(Brian @ Feb 24, 2008 -> 05:47 PM) This thread is too wordy. Some of it may have to do with where people go. Carbondale, there is nothing else to do. There are bars galore. Other alum here would agree. QUOTE(kyyle23 @ Feb 24, 2008 -> 05:55 PM) I agree with the Bar part, but I have to disagree on things for people to do. I know a ton of things to do in and around carbondale. It just so happens that alcohol is part of many of the other things to do. Haha, we're awesome.

I just don't get what the problem is, beastly. Honestly, what did you expect when going away to school? If you like gaming and don't want to drink, then good for you, more power to you but others want to live their lives differently and not everyone is a moron when they drink. These last few years have easily been the best of my life and I'd be lying if I said that alcohol/partying didn't have something to do with that.

This is Mark's team, he deserves it.

Really wish I didn't have to miss the Tenn-Memphis game, sounded like a fun one. Congrats to Tenn, I know Evan will hate this but I still think Memphis is the better team. Changing the subject but it's really hard to not get excited about SIU, we have just pounded our opponents the last two games and this program never does that, even when the teams are great. I know this group will punch me in the gut again but right now, I couldn't be happier with what I see. Tuesday will be a huge tell as even without Ruffin, it's going to be hard to win in Peoria. And as down as the league is(and it is no where near as good as it's been the last two years), the valley still dominated the bracketbuster games today. So that's nice to see.

Daniel Ruffin has been arrested and charged with battery. Sad to see but this certainly helps our chances at not only the number 2 seed in the Lou but winning the whole thing as well.

QUOTE(IlliniKrush @ Feb 21, 2008 -> 06:34 PM) Once you get to high school, that s*** doesn't happen anymore. And another one today. The University had a huge backlash cause of last week, cause they opened back up the campus WAY too early. You saw what happened to me, the ice was absolutely awful, by far the worst I've ever seen. It hasn't been that bad this time but the University would have got absolutely torn apart by some people if they kept campus open after last week.

I didn't get to see the game but that box score sure looks nice.
