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.

QUOTE(chimpy2121 @ Jan 23, 2007 -> 08:17 PM) And FSU? Hell of a win by BC. Damn nice shot. 26 for FSU and 48 for ND Here are some rpi sites: http://realtimerpi.com/rpi_Men.html http://warrennolan.com/ http://kenpom.com/rpi.php And here's the official one that gets updated once a week: http://web1.ncaa.org/app_data/weeklyrpi/2007MBBrpi1.html? Realtime and Warren Nolan basically update after every game and Kenpom updates daily.

QUOTE(Brian @ Jan 23, 2007 -> 10:30 PM) The King of MVC Kings, are back on their throne! DAWGS! UNI could not miss a 3 and we could not make a shot but we somehow managed to pull it out. Randal was real solid again, though we kind of went away from him in the 2nd half, which we can not do cause there is nobody in the league that can guard him. Mullins was the star, he was absolutely phenominal. Big win and it feels great to finally have sole possession of this league, even if it's only for one night.

I'm about to head to the arena. Huge game tonight as UNI comes to town with first on the line. We win tonight and we have sole possession of first in the Valley for the first time this season, we lose and we're a game and a half back and UNI takes a full game lead in the league over Creighton. We must protect our home court and win tonight. GO DAWGS!!!!!

QUOTE(Soxbadger @ Jan 23, 2007 -> 04:18 PM) Thats like saying: Self with his lack of success in the tournament is gonzo in 2 years. Well unless of course he starts to win. Self better be hoping that he can get a 2 seed because the farther down he starts to go the harder its going to be for his team to just out talent its opponent. Yup, if Weber is on the hot seat then Self certainly has to be, no? Bruce has done much more at U of I so far than Bill has done at KU. Oh ya, but Self is a great recruiter, well talent doesn't mean anything if you can't win in the tournament. Kyle McAlarney has been suspended from the University Notre Dame, absolutely huge blow for the Irish.

I've talked about this with Krush already but right now the Bubble is extremely, extremely weak giving the Illini some hope. They need to wake up eventually but they're far from out of tourny contention.

In: White Sox and Saluki Gear Out: Cubs and Illini Gear

This will be the most intriguing ST in a while.

QUOTE(beautox @ Jan 23, 2007 -> 08:07 AM) Mackowiak can back up Fields. Maybe if we give him pads and a stick.

QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Jan 23, 2007 -> 08:02 AM) I like all of those ideas. Although, I am hoping that last one is NOT called the Cowley award. That will obviously be the Mariotti award.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Jan 22, 2007 -> 07:12 PM) The problem with Tommie Harris is he's an incredibly good player and is only going to get more popular. You're going to see a ton of Harris, Grossman and Urlacher jerseys where ever you go and what's the fun in that? If I'm going to buy a jersey I want it to be somewhat original, a player that I'm not going to see everywhere I go. Just watching the Colts Pats game yesterday like 80% of the crowd was wearing #18 jerseys what's the fun in owning a Manning jersey when every jackass in Indiana has one in their closet? Like Damaso Marte for instance.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Jan 22, 2007 -> 05:54 PM) Agreed Double Agree Triple Agree I think Major League Baseball hates the fans, really there's no other explanation. They take away the best baseball video game franchise and now they want to make it impossible for a good portion of their fans to subscribe to Extra Innings. I'm not getting a f***ing dish just for the baseball package, f*** that. We're not even allowed to get a dish at the place I'm living in next year. I was honestly so f***in excited that I was finally going to be able to watch Sox games down here and now this . f*** you MLB, f*** you.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Jan 22, 2007 -> 05:43 PM) Son of a b****, there's nothing I hate more than when my sports world is brought to a screeching halt due to some f***ing exclusive rights contract. WTF, ok I'm f***in pissed now. I was going to get that package next year down at school, wtfffffffff. That's is f***in ridiculous. f*** you MLB.

QUOTE(aboz56 @ Jan 22, 2007 -> 04:31 PM) Went the past three years, but due to the fact that they raised the prices, not going this year. Yup.

QUOTE(Jimbo @ Jan 22, 2007 -> 12:20 PM) that is not updated, ku lost and should be way out of the top 10, those vile pieces of lard. Uh ya, my bad. Usually when you go to espn.com and the rankings they'll just be blank on monday if they weren't updated yet. I didnt even look at who was where, I just posted that. Whoops.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Jan 22, 2007 -> 11:50 AM) Have the new polls came out? Yes sir. http://sports.espn.go.com/ncb/rankingsindex

QUOTE(witesoxfan @ Jan 22, 2007 -> 12:18 AM) Mark Anderson is fun, but a Tillman jersey would be tight. And maybe I'm just kind of goofy, but I would just have it say 'Peanut'. You are goofy.
