Illini in a lot of trouble...

Zona's students are morons.

QUOTE(Palehosefan @ Nov 15, 2007 -> 07:48 PM) I'm just glad you didn't say "Ghoul!!!!". Anyways, is anyone else continually dissapointed with the college basketball games each year? It seems they constantly lag behind the other sports games around for whatever reasons. They don't even seem to be close to their NBA counterparts like NCAA Football and Madden. I love the college hoops 2k games.

QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ Nov 14, 2007 -> 09:51 PM) You're color blind. I understood, just replied to your post.

QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ Nov 14, 2007 -> 09:45 PM) I'm iffy on this, but I guess it's good for the game for more schools to have a place to play in March. Plus, I always wanted to know who the 98th best school was in the nation. I don't know, I'm not really a fan of this, though I suppose it's not going to hurt anything. Just pointless.

QUOTE(Shadows @ Nov 14, 2007 -> 08:56 PM) wooo hoooo were up 56-51 on Texas Tech with 43 seconds left!! The big 12 is having a rough night. 0-3 already with A&M down in the 2nd half.

Fun and crazy game. Davidson had their chances but couldn't pull it off. Good W for UNC.

MSU struggling again. Davidson-UNC game is going to go to the wire.

QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ Nov 14, 2007 -> 08:58 AM) Kevin Jones is expected to announce his college decision at 2:30 PM. I haven't heard anything to tip off where he'll be at, but Indiana, Pittsburgh, West Virginia, Seton Hall, Rutgers, St. John’s, and Massachusetts are all in the mix. And it's WVU.

QUOTE(Palehosefan @ Nov 14, 2007 -> 01:05 PM) You can also tune in to ESPN tonight and watch Stephen Curry light up UNC. Should be a fun game. Kind of reminds me of UNC playing Winthrop early last season.

QUOTE(greg775 @ Nov 14, 2007 -> 12:33 AM) I wouldn't worry about the knot in the shoulder. Our crack medical staff thought Big Hurt and Maggs were done also. Maggs was awesome last year and Big Hurt has been decent the past 2 years. Hurt obviously is so slow on the basepaths it's probably been a good thing he's gone, but Maggs still should be a member of the Sox. Keep garland. If we want to win the division we need his innings. Javy, Mark, Jose, and the two younguns won't cut it. I love Buerhle but he doesn't strike a lot of people out and is a question mark each and every year; Javy is Mr. 5 innings still; Jose is awful, simply awful; and the two younguns are too young to count on. I'd rather gamble on Mark, Jon and Javy having career years, getting rid of the old one, and picking up a Byrd type veteran to go with either Danks or Floyd. KEEP GARLAND This is one of the more ill informed posts in the history of this site. Yeesh.

QUOTE(sircaffey @ Nov 13, 2007 -> 04:27 PM) Now we're going off one good half of baseball, to be secure in the bullpen? I know we are desperate to find some reassurance in the bullpen, but that doesn't do it for me. There is no such thing as having a secure bullpen for the most part. There are only so many good middle relievers, bullpens are inconsisant from year to year(for the most part), you just never know.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Nov 12, 2007 -> 10:20 PM) Yeah..... This just in, Koufos is good and Lighty apparently decided hes a star. Haha, I was waiting for someone to chime in. I thought that was the best chance for an upset, I was obviously wrong. Good win for tOSU.

Looks like IU is going to win comfortably after all. Greasy, I'd like to hear your thoughts on the Mocs when you get back from the game.

IU better win this damn game. Not good for our schedule(and potential schedule) if IU and USC go down in their first game.

QUOTE(Buehrle>Wood @ Nov 12, 2007 -> 05:57 PM) The NIT is screaming for a big-time upset. I just haven't decided wether it will be 'Cuse against Siena/SJU or OSU against W-GB/Delaware State. Maybe even Utah over Washington. I must say though that I actually like how the NIT challenges it's hosts to make it out of their regional unlike all other preseason tournaments. There ya go, buddy.

QUOTE(Brian @ Nov 12, 2007 -> 08:38 AM) So it is the same as the last two years? Way to make us alumni look by by showing off that SIU education. lol. Ya, ya, you know what I mean.

QUOTE(Brian @ Nov 11, 2007 -> 05:32 PM) Yup, giving up 51 is unacceptable to me! Heh, I'm being serious man. A few guys still need to catch up to the speed of college ball(mostly Cornelius here) but there are things defensively that need to be worked on. Lots of fouls today which needs to be cleaned up and hopefully it will be. You guys are going to be amazed watching the offense though, it's a complete 360 from the last two years. Anyways, most importantly, I completely overreacted about the whole Josh Bone situation. Turns out that the shoulder injury is much less severe than originally thought and he's probably going to play on Saturday. Just a little fun note too, Tyrone Green literally broke the rim today on a dunk of his.

We scored 97 points today, that's a new one. Defense needs some work though.

QUOTE(Gene Honda Civic @ Nov 10, 2007 -> 05:52 PM) Only if Kansas squeaks by with a couple of fluky wins.... I think Oregon and LSU have consistently been the two best teams this year. If they take care of business, they'll be there. Or at least one of them will be there against a finally tested Kansas club. The worst scenario right now if for kansas to go undefeated in wholly unimpressive fashion. If they stomp OKySt and beat Mizzou, then take care of OU/TEX in the B12 championship, they deserve to be there. Ya, Kansas isn't going undefeated(sorry Jimbo). I agree that it would be Oregon and LSU but there is a possibility that 4-5ish teams finish with 1 loss. No matter what, you're still going to get a lot of argument somewhere, that's a lot of teams who could sort of make a case.

QUOTE(Buehrle>Wood @ Nov 10, 2007 -> 04:57 PM) Mercer beats #18 USC Boo. Them and IU are the two ranked teams I would have liked to see win every game except one.

QUOTE(IlliniKrush @ Nov 10, 2007 -> 05:32 PM) After all the times OSU has been a thorn in our side and stuck it to us, it's nice to have this big of a payback game. I am so proud of this team, everyone contributed and worked for a full 60 minutes. Did all the types of things you need to do to win this big of a game, and win on the road. Excellent stuff. My how far this program has come. I L L You seem happy.

The BCS is just f'd this year.

QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Nov 10, 2007 -> 12:09 PM) I don't see where people keep getting their confidence in MacD. He's had a few good years. I don't think it's necessarily that people have a ton of confidence in him, just moreso than other guys out on the free agent market. I'll take my chances with Mac's arm over a lot of middle relievers.
