QUOTE(Brian @ Feb 10, 2008 -> 05:32 PM) I didn't get to see it. That is why I wanted you to send me scores. Haha, that was great, man. But anyways, I'm off to BWW to actually go watch the game now(I hate ESPNU). Hopefully we don't suck but we will cause we're on the road. Expect a L.

Hey Brian, did u you enjoy the SIU game last night?

QUOTE(Buehrle>Wood @ Feb 10, 2008 -> 11:56 AM) The drop-off after Tenn, Memphis, Duke, UNC, UCLA, and Kansas is huge. Does anyone really believe a team outside of these 6 has a chance at the NT this year? Well UCLA is definitely the team to beat imo and Memphis after that. But if I'm picking a team besides the ones you mentioned, I'd say Stanford has a shot.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Feb 10, 2008 -> 05:16 AM) UCLA says hi. They are the team to beat in the NCAA and they are straight up built for the tourney. What Gage said.

QUOTE(sircaffey @ Feb 8, 2008 -> 03:03 PM) Did you watch the game? ESPN had their cameras on the Gordon family for like 2 minutes straight with security all around them while Jay Bilas and Pat Forde mentioned fans had hit Mrs. Gordon with a cup of ice as well as crumpled up paper cups. That was going to happen. Idiot college kids are going to get liquored up and it was just bound to happen. It's obviously not right but a few bad apples(and every freakin fan base has them) shouldn't ruin it for everyone. Sorry, but if you're going to base an entire fan base because some drunk ass holes acted out of line then you should be doing the same for every fan base in the country.

QUOTE(ChiSox_Sonix @ Feb 8, 2008 -> 03:03 PM) i'm a UCONN fan so i feel i'm impartial here, but i agree that the pre-game chest bump was out of line. Oh cmon, it was a freakin chest bump. You guys are looking way too far into that.

God I hope so.

I still don't understand how some people can be THAT bad at shooting free throws. It's ridiculous.

Not sure if I should put this in the recruiting thread but I'll put it in here since he's already on campus, but I finally got a chance to see Justin Bocot play...um wow. He good.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Feb 6, 2008 -> 11:24 PM) If someone told me one of those guys would be a legit three, I'd say the Sox would be almost dead even with Cleveland and just a tad behind Detroit for the division. If they acquired a Bedard type pitcher without losing any key players from the current 25 man roster, I'd say they were even to potential front-runners. Bottom line, if the pitching shows up I think the Sox have a playing time. That is a big if, but it was also the big question in 2005 and low and behold the pitching showed up (in 05, we knew the club had guys that could throw innings, but a good chunk of them had been nothing but inconsistent most of there careers). Danks/Floyd have the stuff to be solid major leaguers while Contreras if he can refind his stuff (I'm hoping his back has gotten better with the Sox putting a major focus on him doing strenght training on that back) than things would be nice (plus I still am a huge fan of the two pitching prospects at the upper levels the Sox didn't trade). This is pretty much exactly how I feel. I will say though that I was much more confident in the 05 club than this current team. I just didn't think there was a weakness with the 05 group, with these guys there is a glaring one imo. Still, if Danks-Floyd-JC step up, I really love this team.

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Feb 6, 2008 -> 05:34 PM) The best team doesn't always win. It's whoever gets hot at the right time. If the Pats/Giants played 10 times, who do you think would win most of the games? And regular season record has a lot to deal with it. Let's say, hypothetically, that 6-10 team or 7-9 got into the playoffs and won the Super Bowl...are they better than the team that went 18-1? Nope. But the all time great teams win their championship no matter what. If New England was THAT good they would have won on Sunday. If you want to sit here and tell me that the 85 Bears or 89 Niners or one of the 70's Steelers teams were the greatest ever, I'd say that's debatable and you could at least make a case for them. This years Pats though? Nope. They lost when it mattered, they aren't one of the greatest teams ever, don't care what anyone says.

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Feb 6, 2008 -> 05:22 PM) 2007 Patriots > 1972 Dolphins The Dolphins won the superbowl, NE didn't. I don't give a crap what NE did in the regular season, if they were THAT great they would have won the one that counted. Too bad.

QUOTE(SoxFan101 @ Feb 6, 2008 -> 04:23 PM) The Patriots tied Miami's record as far as im concerned, they went undefeated long enough to cover the same span that Miami did. That's ridiculous.

Carbondale is weird as hell now. Tornado warnings all night last night and I guess one was in the area and at one point while I was walking into the basketball game the temperature literally dropped about 20 degrees, it was the strangest thing ever. It's been about 65 the last few days down here but supposedly we might be getting snow soon too. Weird weather indeed.

He pretty much sucks at what he does now but I love the guy. Happy to have him around.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Feb 6, 2008 -> 12:46 AM) My friend at the SIU said they had like a 25 minute tornado delay during tonight's game, very odd. It amazes me SIU and NIU are in the same state when I see it's 70 and tornadoes there and we're getting 10 inches of snow. Heh, yup. It was weird. A buzzer just sounded in the middle of the game and the pa announcer said that there was a tornado in the area or something like that and that everyone in the upper deck needed to come down. One of the weirder things I've been a part of.

QUOTE(Brian @ Feb 5, 2008 -> 09:45 PM) Falker, nuff said. Solid game but that's what we do at home. Now we get to lose our first game at the Qwest.

Last night was absolutely hilarious. It's genius.

QUOTE(Steve9347 @ Feb 5, 2008 -> 10:47 AM) Nick Swisher + Josh Fields = mucho strikeouts. And lots of power.

QUOTE(iamshack @ Feb 4, 2008 -> 07:37 PM) Speaking of SIU though, boy, do I miss Quattros pizza and Wise Guys subs. I might have to make a trip to the alma mater just for those two late-night delicacies... Quatros is absolutely delicious and for some reason I've only had it twice my whole time down here.

QUOTE(iamshack @ Feb 4, 2008 -> 08:07 PM) I think you were probably just more drunk down at SIU... That's cause we're cool like that. La bambas is pretty delicious though.

QUOTE(SnB @ Feb 4, 2008 -> 09:35 PM) geovanti's -best chicken fingers you'll ever have Those things are ridiculous.

I'm on a college diet. Basically, I've been eating ridiculously healthy for a while now but since I got back to school alcohol has been seriously added to that, but oh well, that's how it has to be. I'm in decent shape but I'm trying to get into really good shape so I can get back to playing basketball at a high level(sounds lame but it's the truth). Anyone got recommendations on good dinner foods besides fish and chicken? Because I'm really starting to get tired of fish and chicken.

Conan O'brien + Stephen Colbert + Jon Stewart = Genius.

Never too early. Can't wait.
