QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Nov 3, 2015 -> 06:25 PM) Crazy that a 1 loss Bama team ranks over some undefeated power conference teams. I do think Bama is playing like one of the best 4 teams in the country, so in many cases, I actually think they got it right, but hard to do that when you have a field of 4. If the field was 8, I have an easier time giving it to the better team with a loss vs. a power conference team without a loss. Yes, in truth its a mistake since their resume isnt even as good as MSU at the moment, but it doesnt matter. Everything will even out eventually.

QUOTE (bmags @ Nov 3, 2015 -> 10:51 AM) That theory is interesting but if that was the case, that was a horrible character. You can't introduce a loony tune as a crucial bit to your trilogy. The director should have seen what was being created and nipped it in the bud. To be fiar, Yoda was kind of a looney tune, obviously the reaction to Jar Jar could have been the reason they scrapped that story and added Dooku. It makes sense.

Anyone have a smoker? I am looking to get into the electric smoker market and I wanted to see if anyone had thoughts

QUOTE (Iwritecode @ Nov 3, 2015 -> 09:26 AM) No, Dooku didn't become Palpatine's apprentice until Darth Maul was dead. if Anything this Reddit renewed my interest in the prequels.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Nov 3, 2015 -> 09:26 AM) A rape case is all getting the jury trusting the accuser. After the evidence bag mess, there was zero chance of that happening. It would have been incredibly easy to introduce a reasonable doubt in a case that typically is pretty easy to introduce doubt into. If you can convince a jury that she was a slut and wanted it, game over. Of course she doesn't want to testify now, the AD probably told her that with her credibility where it was at, he wasn't going to prosecute it anyway because he is more worried about his career. At this point it doesn't matter at all what the actual merits of the case were, it never had a chance. But its also hard to prove she "wanted it" if the only evidence we have points to the fact they never had sex. The prosecution seemed to only have her story as evidence with nothing else.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Nov 3, 2015 -> 09:24 AM) Thanks. I tried the Oak Brook Blackhawks store but was out of luck. Ill run by Gunzos today as I wanted to pick up a sweatshirt anyway, ill let you know.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Nov 3, 2015 -> 09:10 AM) Most rape cases don't just by their very nature. Maybe, but the only evidence that has been publically spoken about in this particular case is that DNA evidence didnt confirm sexual intercourse between the accused and his accuser. Thats a pretty big red flag. Mind you, there werent even CHARGES brought against Kane, its not like they had to prove anything other than the possibility of rape at this point. They never even had to go to trial.

I love how they have to come out with rankings this early since they literally mean nothing.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Nov 3, 2015 -> 08:13 AM) Are Panarin shirseys sold anywhere? I can't find one online and I can't custom-make one because it "violates the NHL.com player customization rules" Best bets are near the stadium most likely. Ill check Gunzos

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Nov 3, 2015 -> 07:54 AM) This case had no chance after the evidence bag stunt. Or the case had no chance from the beginning.

QUOTE (Joshua Strong @ Nov 2, 2015 -> 06:10 PM) Jar Jar couldn't be a Sith because him being one would violate the Rule of Two. Theory disproved The theory is that he's a puppet master even higher than the Sith we see or he's Snoke.

QUOTE (soxfan49 @ Nov 2, 2015 -> 07:43 PM) Rockford must need size on their roster Or like I said the Hawks won't hesitate to get rid of him. But yeah, what you said.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Nov 2, 2015 -> 05:14 PM) Didn't DV and Yoda have the ability to sense the Force in others? To me that just proves how GL couldn't have pulled this off. He already broke a canon rule of how Jedi's work if no one could have sensed Jar Jar or Palpatine. His whole argument rests on the idea that there's no luck in the Star Wars world based on what someone in the movies said once. If we can ignore certain rules, why not ignore that there's no luck? I dont recall them being able to sense the force in Sith lords

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Nov 2, 2015 -> 04:40 PM) I did. It requires a ton of nuance and subtelty to plan for that, two things GL SUCKS at. Also, don't Jedi's sense other people, especially evil people, with the Force? Wouldn't they have sensed that with Jar Jar at many, many points along the road? No. The emperor was right under their noses.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Nov 2, 2015 -> 03:31 PM) I have a really hard time believing that George Lucas is clever enough to do that. Did you read the whole thing and how it aligns fairly well with other sci-fi? It seems to be more than a coincidence

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Nov 2, 2015 -> 03:23 PM) I had heard about this but hadn't read it yet, just craziness and the guy makes it really believable. The guy who originally played Jar Jar commented that he was glad the backstory was finally exposed. WTF

QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Nov 2, 2015 -> 12:05 PM) I am sure he will not but I was curious if he could do that. Sitting out the rest of the season and either not getting drafted or transferring would be so much worse than taking your lumps and moving on.

QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Nov 2, 2015 -> 12:02 PM) The whole punishment is kind of pointless. He could both of those things though couldn't he? but, why? He's not getting drafted in the NFL and he's most likely playing again in one week or two as well as starting the next season or two.

QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Nov 2, 2015 -> 11:52 AM) Or he can choose to not attend summer classes and lose nothing. More likely he earns that stipend back before then.

QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Nov 2, 2015 -> 11:56 AM) If he declares for the draft what does he lose? He is a red shirt sophomore. Meyer also said he could earn it back which I assume is no great feat to accomplish. Can he also transfer and not have to sit out? So you are saying he should declare or transfer right now instead of waiting one game until he can play again?

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Nov 2, 2015 -> 11:45 AM) Marty Smith ‏@MartySmithESPN 4m4 minutes ago Ohio State clarifies Urban Meyer loss of scholarship comment from earlier, saying JT Barrett will forfeit "Summer aid" benefit for 2016. So he has to pay for summer school classes if he attends? Checking, I believe its the room and board, food stipend for the summer which is during the term. Oh and they all attend summer school, its the only way to make up the credits to graduate on time. These guys dont take 22 hours during the season. unrelated: I took summer classes every year, it was my favorite time of the year.

QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Nov 2, 2015 -> 11:38 AM) So if he declares for the NFL draft there is no further punishment other than the one game suspension as I assume whenever a player declares they lose their scholarship anyway. He can also earn it back....whatever that means. Huh?

Just got around to reading that Reddit about Jar-Jar. Wow, mind blown.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Nov 2, 2015 -> 10:54 AM) Does he suddenly have to pay out-of-state tuition for a semester? That would suck big time for him. Yes. If its only for a semester its about 14k, if its for year its almost 30. Yikes. Plus the fees and court costs and lawyer fees. Expensive mistake. s*** with books and everything else a year is over 40k? f***
