QUOTE(Rex Hudler @ Jan 27, 2007 -> 08:56 PM) Not that it would likely matter, but it would only technically be his senior year. SHOULD he want/need to play another year, getting another year via a medical redshirt from last year (he only played in 5 games) would be a no-brainer. I think it would be best for DJ to stay another year, but it really depends on his wishes and how IU finishes. If he is having fun and enjoying playing for Coach Sampson and sees the potential benefit of staying then I could see it happening. If he is solely focused on the NBA, then he may go regardless of his projected draft status. I just hope he doesn't end up like many other college underclassmen who never play in the league. Without being privy to DJ's thoughts, I'd handicap his coming back at 60/40 right now. Good point, that completely slipped my mind. Anywho, there is finally a bit of seperation at the top of the Valley(not much), with UNI and Bradley both losing tonight, SIU and CU both have 1.5 game leads over 3rd place UNI and 2 game leads over Mo State and Bradley.

Air Force falls at BYU.

QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ Jan 27, 2007 -> 06:46 PM) What are people's thoughts on DJ and next year? He's averaging 14.2 points and 7.3 boards on the season (not blow away numbers I know). It's weird, I just averaged his conference totals, and they're right on par with that (14.9 and 7.4). It just seems like he's playing a lot better with each game, maybe it has something to do with the competition. He's not on the board for this year or next on NBA Draft sites; however, I know he really wants to go. I wonder if he'd go, regardless when he got pick, or if he'd like to be as close to the top as possible. I'm kind of nervous about it right now. I'd really love to see him play with EJ, as that could make for a scary tandem. I guess it basically comes down to how IU and he does come March. Does anyone have any reassuring or not so reassuring thoughts? I really don't think he's ready, not yet. Maybe it's the t-shirt he wears underneath his jersey but I believe there are still parts of his game he needs to work on. I will say though, at the beginning of the year I was completely unimpressed by him, as of late he's looked much, much better to me. Basketball wise, I think the smart move is to stay for his senior year.

QUOTE(MarlinFan84 @ Jan 27, 2007 -> 05:05 PM) Lost in all of this is a good home win by tSIU over Illinois State. Illinois State has improved alot over the course of the season and have brought in consecutive good recruiting classes. They took the lead into halftime. BTW, I dont think Bruce's job is in jeopardy. I hope not anyway, since he wants tSIU on the schedule, and I dont think that happens...and theres a slim chance of it anyway...without Bruce there. Not really any viable candidates either. But I DO know Tubby's job down at UK is in peril, although they will let him retire or resign before they fire him IMO. And the two leading candidates to replace him, according to some little birdies, are current UMass head coach Travis Ford and Valpairiso assistant(and Homers son) Bryce Drew. Falker is getting to the point where he is unstoppable 1 on 1. Every team we play now throws double teams at him, the only way to guard him is to foul him and hope he misses his ft's(which he does a lot). The game wasn't pretty as we came out completely flat(we seem to do this against lesser opponents) but Randal, Jamaal and TY carried the team today and pulled out a W. Us and Creighton still tied atop the league at 8-3. On a side note, after diving all over for a loose ball Tatum came out holding his leg and looked like he was in a lot of pain, I nearly had a heart attack. Turned out that it was only a cramp, thank god.

Wow Brian.

QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ Jan 26, 2007 -> 10:23 AM) I'm the opposite. I hate the Man Law commercials and love the press conference commercials. I like both.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Jan 26, 2007 -> 10:25 AM) The signing doesn't worry me at all. I like it. I'm just fearful of Ozzie's handling of it. I'm pretty sure that's how everyone feels.

Rowand.

Horrible execution by both teams down the stretch. Pitiful.

Clemson just got screwed.

Nail biter in Cameron, both teams are extremely unimpressive. Holy s***.

QUOTE(3E8 @ Jan 25, 2007 -> 07:00 PM) I do not want Haeger anywhere near this rotation. Gavin Floyd will surprise you all. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Gavin Floyd.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Jan 25, 2007 -> 05:58 PM) Springer did seem like the next logical step for A.J. So very true.

Uh, anyone else watching SC?

QUOTE(knightni @ Jan 25, 2007 -> 11:33 AM) The internet didn't exist and our dorm had no cable when I was in college. Appreciate what you have, youngster. QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Jan 25, 2007 -> 11:52 AM) We got internet access in our rooms my senior year, but only if you brought your own CPU, which only the ultrarich kids had. We got computer labs in our dorm my sophomore year. My freshman year we didn't even have direct access to the net, and we had to backdoor in through other schools sites. We didn't have cable at all. Did you guys walk 12 miles in the snow with out shoes to get to school as well?

This is the 2nd time in a week that my cable has just completely cut out. Yay dorm life.

As seen in one of his commercials, Peyton has not washed his hands in a long time, why would Bill want to shake his hand?

70-68 Red Raiders.

A&M and Tech in a barn burner, why the hell isn't this game on tv?

Rex, you're Aces just picked up a nice road win in Terre Haute and climb their way to .500 in the Valley. Impressive.

Not a Bears fan, but the Sox are easily my favorite sports team with only one team even close so this isn't even a question to me. Nothing will surpass a White Sox world series victory.

QUOTE(Brian @ Jan 24, 2007 -> 07:16 PM) Yuck, a rematch with Arkansas in round 1 than Ohio State in round 2. Well the matchups are just plain wrong as we wouldn't face Arkansas in the first round. The 7 seed at this point is probably pretty accurate though. BTW, BB game is announced on Monday, it's looking more and more like we're going to get Butler, hopefully that's the case.
