QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Feb 2, 2006 -> 07:50 PM) Hence the fact I've never done anything on it. I looked at and got all confused not knowing what the hell I was supposed to do on it. She says it works good though so what do I know. You could build that thing for yourself. Skateboard, plant of wood, rope. Bam!!!

QUOTE(CanOfCorn @ Feb 2, 2006 -> 05:20 PM) Who decides what is hostile and abusive, Rock? Well, you can keep using FSU as a case study over and over. But since the direct decendents of the Illini have opposed and filed a cease and decist regarding the chief, I find it an irrelevant argument. I understand the anger from alums, and my school had our name taken away from us, and I was furious, because it was part of my tradition as well. But the negative aspects of the mascot is offensive to their lineage and culture, and that was more important than game day dances, t-shirt, and logos.

Did you know that you can be jailed for jaywalking?

QUOTE(LauraJ14 @ Feb 2, 2006 -> 03:56 PM) I am an alum and by wiping away all of the Native American symbols, to me its basically saying that your traditions and culture aren't important enough to anyone. Lets just pretend that this never existed or mattered. Whose traditions? The sports teams? Which culture dates back further, illinois football, or the indigenous tribes that inhabited the area.

QUOTE(Iwritecode @ Feb 2, 2006 -> 02:09 PM) Now you're changing your arguement. Your first response was which is pretty much saying that because "everyone else does it", they should have never been punished in the first place. That's pretty flawed logic to begin with. Then when the kids went out and got busted for doing the exact same illegal activity you don't think they should be punished a second time as well? You cant argue with logic here. Of course its illegal. Many things you do are illegal. I would love to hear one person on here who didnt drink when they were underage. It was illegal, yes, but should you have been punished by the law for it? Do you really feel that those nights out, or nights in, dinner with the family, birthdays etc where you drank underage, were punishable by law??? Granted the website thing was stupid on their part, but the judgements by this guy were extremely harsh. And bringing them back based on pictures on a website is really assinine. Why doesnt he focus on the drung dealers and murders's websites instead?

QUOTE(SpringfieldFan @ Feb 2, 2006 -> 01:41 PM) Kyle, are you getting the feeling we are posting to a brick wall here? SFF ahahahaha. Kyle and I had arguments like this all the time dude. Good attempt at a jab though.

QUOTE(kyyle23 @ Feb 2, 2006 -> 12:41 PM) If a college kid is stupid enough to do what she did, they deserve to get busted. With the ready availability of information on the internet, this girl thought she wouldnt get caught and she did. You can think its bulls***, but the girl still violated her probation, and she is still 3 years underage. If she wants to party, she aughtta learn a little modesty. Oh come on, the kids shouldnt have been in court in the first place. secondly, what is he doing searching college kid's phots on websites??? The kids are in college, kids in college drink. That is how it is, how is has been, and how it always is going to be. I think I partied my hardest when I was underage anyway, and so did alot of people on this site. Scoffing at kids who did the exact same thing that many of you did is hypocritical.

"More than 400 digital photos showed some students appearing passed out, others using special tubes to gulp beer, couples playing a drinking game called "beer pong," inebriated girls sitting on toilets -- all of it tagged with captions, many of them profane and aimed at Martone. Stesney, visiting from Detroit, and Senopole, Meershaert's roommate, were also shown drinking at parties at MSU." Oh my god, they use SPECIAL TUBES. Wow, lets go ahead and convinct every college kid who is drinking underage and has pictures to prove it. Talk about the judge taking something a little too far. My whole dorm/fraternity would have been jailed. s***, my parents let us have some beers once we got into college, it was even legal in OXford if your parents were with you. I think this is complete bulls***.

QUOTE(bmags @ Feb 2, 2006 -> 12:08 PM) whatever, they should have never been in court in the first place. Drinking at prom?!?!? OMG!! SINCE WHEN DID THAT START?!?!?! we started at about 7:30 from what I remember.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Feb 2, 2006 -> 09:39 AM) My step mom has tried both and preferred total gym. I've never used total gym, but I used a bowflex a few times and it just felt awkward compared to free weights. The total gym seems even more strange. At least the bowflex allows you to do normal excercises.

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Feb 2, 2006 -> 09:22 AM) I'm not blown away by any of those women in the pic........... and I'm not an NFL QB. Make up, being dressed up and showing skin is not enough, they still have to be attractive.

Bobby Higginson was a pretty big bust.

QUOTE(The Critic @ Feb 2, 2006 -> 07:06 AM) I bet Gload's a better Frisbee player than your dog, though.....cuz Gload can throw it back, he wouldn't have to run it back to you. His throw would probably miss the cut off man though.

QUOTE(ZoomSlowik @ Feb 1, 2006 -> 09:31 PM) How many of that original list of teams that were being ruled against won appeals? I know there were several. As I said, Illinois is now the only Division 1A school that this rule still affects. Schools like Florida State can take things at their leisure. There are a few other Division 1AA schools that it still affects, but obviously no one cares about that. Utah, North Dakota, Central Michigan to name a few.

QUOTE(kyyle23 @ Feb 1, 2006 -> 07:36 PM) I've got my AARFSIOFBA card in my other wallet. Why dont you just wire me your money now, and save me embarrassing you yet again?

QUOTE(knightni @ Jan 31, 2006 -> 07:04 PM) So....what is this koolaid everyone is talking about? And why are you laughing at me drinking it?

QUOTE(kyyle23 @ Feb 1, 2006 -> 06:24 PM) Who is begging, dude? I BET YOU A THOUSAND DOLLARS YOU WOULD!!!!!!!! NUT UP!!!!!

QUOTE(kyyle23 @ Feb 1, 2006 -> 06:03 PM) Not that one. I wouldnt even term her decent. beggers cant be choosers dude.

QUOTE(kyyle23 @ Feb 1, 2006 -> 05:53 PM) me too. I didnt want to say it because they have already been termed "decent". Isnt Ben Roethlisburger over 6'6"? That brunette must be at least 6'2". Just your type. Dont you love amazon's?

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Feb 1, 2006 -> 04:04 PM) Like 3-4. Pittsburgh @ Sox a few years back Seattle @ Sox Sox @ Cubs Detroit @ Sox Not much else. My dad and I like to go different places. We've been to Colorado twice, County Stadium once, Wrigley once, Metrodome twice, Busch once. 3-4? For shame

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Feb 1, 2006 -> 05:35 PM) Miami Ohio: Hot Babe Central EVen though alot of people will scoff at that. Its very very true. 60-40 ratio, hot, rich, mid western beauties. I challenge anyone on this board to go there and not be impressed.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Feb 1, 2006 -> 05:26 PM) Scout has PSU ranked higher then OSU. must be an older poll then. http://insider.espn.go.com/ncf/recruiting/...r/rankings?id=5

Those girls are pretty decent looking. Wonder if this is from when he went back to miami.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Feb 1, 2006 -> 05:20 PM) It's a dance, rock, that is all. It's not like they're coming out and saying "This is part of the Illini culture, so watch this if you want to learn how to become part of this tribe" It's a dance at halftime, that is all. I don't see why people get so worked up over it but whatever. They are representing it as a part of their culture as deemed by the dress, the name, and the ritual. Its like if you are catholic and they have a halftime show mocking communion and such. It doesnt offend me, but it DOES offend them.

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Feb 1, 2006 -> 05:21 PM) PSU is 1st in the B10 on both Scout and Rivals, I believe. I was looking at ESPN who uses scout.com as its resource.
