GOD DAMN IT WE ALLOWED DOUBLE DIGITS IN THE FIRST HALF. 28-12 Dawgs at the half.

QUOTE(WSFAN35 @ Nov 29, 2006 -> 06:09 PM) at least someone has some common sense. why would the drays trade their best position player unless they are completely overwhelmed? Not why I answered it that way, if we get Santana then we should keep both imo. I'd be very unhappy if either were traded.

QUOTE(EvilJester99 @ Nov 29, 2006 -> 06:05 PM) If the Sox got Santana and had to deal either him or BMac to get Crawford who would you rather see dealt? Neither, forget Crawford. Next question.

Out of everyone I know, I'm the only one who didn't like Stranger than Fiction.

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Nov 29, 2006 -> 11:27 AM) If Gload was a starter for the Sox next year, you would have alot of unhappy White Sox fans by July, just a hunch. Or a lot of newly converted Gload fans.

QUOTE(My Dixie Normus @ Nov 29, 2006 -> 02:16 AM) What Richards said was not racism. This.... THIS is racism. Exterminate all white people. LMAO

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Nov 29, 2006 -> 10:43 AM) You, my young friend, are not familiar with Hilton Magic. Ask Jimbo. Even during down seasons, it's still one of the tougher places to win in America. Oh, I know all about Hilton magic. Too bad our defense would suck all the magic out of that place.

Joe is the 2nd best defensive 3b in the al, imo.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Nov 29, 2006 -> 10:31 AM) If the Salukis came into Hilton, I expect to win. Pssh.

QUOTE(chimpy2121 @ Nov 28, 2006 -> 11:46 PM) The Al dunk was #1 on SC's top 10. If I can figure it out , I'll put it up on youtube tomorrow sometime. That was fancy. We got La Tech tonight. La Tech is not very good at all but this could be a bit of a trap game as we just got done playing 3 bcs schools and then we play a pretty good SLU team on Saturday. Hopefully we're ready to go and if we are we should win this one easily, but I certainly wont be shocked if it's a close game. Also, Heads' Clones get to lose to UNI tonight.

QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ Nov 28, 2006 -> 10:26 PM) Are you by chance going to stay down their for the weekend to go to the game or are you just going to watch on tv? I'm honestly thinking of getting some tickets for that game, we'll see though.

Indiana might want to clean up their game before they play my Dawgs in 3 weeks.

That might have been the worst minute of basketball I've ever seen played.

DJ looks god awful today, horrible. Wow.

QUOTE(He_Gawn @ Nov 28, 2006 -> 10:08 PM) Jesus, where is Bassett coming from? I love this. He wants the ball in his hands right now, that's for sure.

When does the MVC/Big Ten challenge start?

DJ seems non existant in this game.

Tie game.

Once again, having two pitchers like Brandon McCarthy and Ervin Santana in your rotation for years to come is absolutely humungous for any team in the current market. Not to mention Ervin would have been our best starting pitcher last season so it's not just something that deals with the future. Santana is a 23 year old stud who has already proven he's an above average starter, he's under contract for a while and has a fantastic arm, he'd just be absolutely fantastic to get.

I think some of you guys don't realize just how valuable an Ervin Santana is.

Well for this year(and this year only) it's actually a good thing that the Cubs are upping the market for starters.

QUOTE(Soxbadger @ Nov 28, 2006 -> 01:41 PM) Thats untrue, playing a Valley team is lose-lose no matter how you slice it. Wisconsin lost to Mo. State, a quality team. When they lose its an "upset", when they win its "status-quo." Maybe in 5 years, when the Valley starts to get teams rated in the top 15 preseason (Gonzaga has been there so no reason to say that it cant happen in the Valley) then you will see teams from the big conferences start to schedule the valley. A lot of this has to do with recruiting as well. Because the BCS conferences get the top recruits, they are always considered the "top" teams eventhough many of these recruits are young so they are really not playing at the same level as a 4th year player on a valley team. This will even be more prevelant with the 1 and done, because writers etc will rank teams with the "Odens" of the world as 1, eventhough they have never stepped on the court. This will perpetuate Valley teams consistently being under ranked, and therefore people wont be willing to play them. Right now I would always prefer Wisconsin to play a top 15 team, to a 25-40 Valley team. If you lose to the top 15, so what life moves on. If you lose to the valley, everyone is second guessing your program. It basically boils down to the fact that sportswriters like hype, and they vote on hype. If the Valley can get some hyped players, all of a sudden everything will change. If someone is 2nd guessing your team then they're retarded. A ton of the major conferences last year b****ed about the mid majors having high rpi's and that they some how manipulated the system. The Valley had about 6 teams in the rpi top 50 last year iirc. Beating a valley team is going to be considered a quality victory in March by the selection committee. The major conferences have absolutely no reason to b**** that some of their teams get left out come March when they refuse to schedule quality mid majors(I'm talking to you Gary Williams).

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Nov 28, 2006 -> 12:56 PM) It's not even a lose/lose game for Illinois, since SIU is a borderline if not in top 25 team every year that makes the dance, so it would really be a quality win if you got it. Well that's the thing, people say those type of games are just lose/lose for the bcs conferences but that certainly isn't the case anymore with the Valley. We'll see if any of the BCS coaches start to man up and schedule some of the Valley teams, I still got a feeling that it aint happening anytime soon.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Nov 28, 2006 -> 12:48 PM) Illinois and SIU should play in St. Louis every year to be honest. It'd be more fun than pantsing Misery every year down there, and would help both teams RPI's immensly. That'd be nice. I don't think Bruce will ever schedule us though, even though he said he's just waiting until all the players he recruited are gone.
