I should walk there. Airfare is insane right now. If you'd just give me the winnings from the pool right now, then maybe I could afford it.

Protect the ball and dictate the pace of the game, that's what we have to do and we'll have a shot. KU is obviously talented as hell but we CAN win this game. Our style might be just the thing to frusterate them, we shall see. GO DAWGS!! P.S. Jimbo, I fully expect you to be cheering for the Salukis in this one.

QUOTE(IlliniKrush @ Mar 19, 2007 -> 02:54 AM) BECAUSE I NEED MORE FAZEKAS So I got a question: How come Steve is actually still alive in the pool?

QUOTE(IlliniKrush @ Mar 19, 2007 -> 01:29 AM) I'm shocked you didn't go to BW3 or someplace with all the feeds. You knew they'd jump around games, which they should. Chicago isn't exactly the SIU hotbed that would require exclusive, no cut-in coverage of the game. The vast majority of people up here want to see the close games. You know I can't watch these games with a lot of people, I'd probably get arrested. I honestly wasn't positive that they'd hop around because I know they don't do that for Illinois games and they didn't go to the UK-Nova game while ours was going on Friday. Even after all of that, why the hell would they take our game off with 3 minutes to go to see the Memphis-Nevada game that just started? Whatever, it's done, I'm happy now.

It honestly amazes me how some of these anaylsts have jobs. Digger says SIU is going to play a lot of zone againt KU, and I lol'd because he just embarrasses himself more and more every time he speaks.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Mar 18, 2007 -> 06:04 PM) Guess we should've took your word... : / Hey, I'm not always a complete moron.

USC just pummeling Texas.

QUOTE(Rex Hudler @ Mar 18, 2007 -> 04:14 PM) The only way you are guaranteed to see the game you want is to go to a bar or pay for the DirecTV package or be directly in a team's market. If you are not getting the constant feed, they will switch back and forth. The only way you can get the constant feed is be in the right spot. Not sure how far SIU's area would reach to get the constant feed, but if you are in Chicago that's not going to be close enough. Now freakin relax, they have the game in hand. Congrats and smile a bit! A 15-pt win is a nice win. Bring on Kansas, eh? Haha man, I can never ever relax during games, it's just how I am. I'm pretty sure my mom hates me now, but oh well. I'm sooooo happy though now, bring on KU or UK. Matt could be back for next weekend too, we shall see, but for now, w00000t.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Mar 18, 2007 -> 04:11 PM) Hop on NCAA-MMOD. It's a bit behind the TV so you should catch what you missed. I tried dude, trust me. It's blacked out because it's our game, unreal. But, we've got this, w000000000000000000t. Sweet 16, baby!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now it's off again, I can't believe this. We can't watch the last 3 minutes because we need to watch the first 5 of Memphis-Nevada?

Now the radio feed is having technical difficulties. You gotta be f***in kidding me.

QUOTE(tigerfan @ Mar 18, 2007 -> 03:28 PM) So? It's the closest game, what do you expect? They didn't switch from our game in the 1st round, I didn't think they'd do it now.

QUOTE(tigerfan @ Mar 18, 2007 -> 03:25 PM) Why, what did they do? The Florida game is over. They put the f***in Wisconsin game on. I couldn't care f***in less right now about other games.

I'm about to lose it, cbs can go suck a f***in dick, if the person is charge of this was here right now, I'd literally snap his or her f***in neck.

Good first half. We gotta keep running an offense in the 2nd half, we love to just sit on a lead in the 2nd half, we better not do that today. I'm a nervous wreck.

QUOTE(SnB @ Mar 18, 2007 -> 10:44 AM) I'm leaving tuesday afternoon No one cares.

Looks like Matt isn't going to play today, blah. Bench needs to step up big time and we're going to have to make up for his scoring somewhere. Tyrone Green is going to be huge in this game, with the athleticism of Va Tech, he's a guy that can stay with anyone with athletically. I'd expect to see him play a lot of minutes and play his ass off like he always does. We have to keep this game at our pace(duh), Va Tech is going to want to run and we just have to play within ourselves. If we can keep the tempo our way then I like our chances. GO DAWGS!!!!!!!

Drew Nicholas is flashing through my mind right now. QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Mar 17, 2007 -> 04:24 PM) Drew Nicholas is flashing through my mind right now. Nope. Congrats Butler and f*** you Gary Williams.

Boo.

TONY f***IN BOYLE. We really need Matt on sunday, we really really need him. Boyle was the man though tonight, I'm not sure where the f*** that came from but thankfully it did. Sunday is going to be tough.

If Shaw is hurt bad we're in deep f***in s***.

I'm officially beyond nervous.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Mar 16, 2007 -> 12:41 PM) UCLA will win by 15+ Ha, if you gave me 15 I'd take IU all day.

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Mar 16, 2007 -> 10:55 AM) Come on...I know hating everything Illinois recruiting is the cool thing to do, but how can you say SIU's class is better than Illinois? This Illinois class would give SIU their first 2 4 star players in forever yet it would only be mediocre. Yep. Like I said, Fay would be a 4 star if he didn't verbal to SIU so early and a lot of people say that Bocot is about as talented an offensive guard as there is, I love what we got coming in. As for the Illini's class, it's very underrated imo and that has nothing to do with star rating. I couldn't care less how many stars some people have next to their name especially when it comes to these recruiting services. Fay on one of the sites(don't remember which one) dropped right when he verballed to SIU. If you committ early to a so called mid major then a lot of times your stock wont go up, it's just how it is. QUOTE(kyyle23 @ Mar 16, 2007 -> 11:42 AM) Bruce was behind the 8 ball when he left SIU, he was never in a win situation with Selfs shadow looming. If Gordon would have stayed true to his word, WS101 would still b*tch about who he missed on and how bad of a coach he is. And he isnt the only one Yup.

QUOTE(hitlesswonder @ Mar 16, 2007 -> 10:25 AM) Oh, I don't think so. Avg "star" ranking for a 2007 UI recruit is 3, for SIU it's 2.5. Not much difference. And word is that Quinton Watkins is going to drop his verbal commmit to UI and reopen his recruitment. AZ supposedly is interested in him since they are expecting to lose players to the draft. Weber is having a hard time getting any players, let alone highly regarded ones, to play for him. If Bocot can get himself eligible, then I'll take our class but going by star rating just isn't accurate. Fay would be a 4 star right now if he didn't committ to SIU so early, I guarantee that and I certainly wouldn't trade him for Tisdale or Cole. Overall, I actually believe that Illinois has a pretty underrated class but I like what we have coming in.
