United's systems are down, they are handwriting every single ticket at the moment. Classic.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Feb 18, 2014 -> 10:06 AM) I probably used the service about 50 times last year. It feels like half of those times someone I was friends with had a complaint about how they were billed. Like I said, I have no problem using it, I just dont consider it a cheap option. Id rather walk a few blocks east, get a drink or 2, then catch a regular cab. Probably similar cost. edit Black car service is different than the taxis. The taxis seem to always be shady. Ive never had black car go bad, but its also more expensive. Its definitely not a low cost option, especially since I never use the taxi service. Its more convenience + not needing cash. I live out in Oak Park so I use it quite a bit to get into the city or to the airport. Their customer service with black cars is great, with Taxis is non-existant. The taxis have an interest in making the service look terrible since they are suing Uber.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Feb 18, 2014 -> 09:45 AM) If you use uber a lot you may know that. But if its his first time I thought I should warn him. And its actually terrible. Its convenient, but they just rip people off. Theyll say "oh this wasnt uber" then you pay and then you get charged as well. Ive used the service a lot, Ive just had multiple bad experiences since they switched from "black car" to taxi. Ive also seen completely different charges then what they claim. I've had one bad experience and they gave me all my money back. I use black car 100% of the time and I cant recommend it more. Its awesome.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Feb 18, 2014 -> 08:45 AM) Wow, I didn't even look twice. Clearly, it is. The ol pillowcase sling huh? Convincing.

ALOT of those fights involve the indian reservation kids and families up there, it didnt surprise me to see this one did too. They have a reputation for getting drunk and unruly at these kids games. And that looks like a fake cast/sling.

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Feb 17, 2014 -> 11:31 PM) Bus would work, there isn't a good way there with the L without walking a bit. Couple bus options: Find your way to the 20, which is the Madison bus and will take you right to the doors. Should be 2.25 if using cash. Same 20 bus back going back into the city. 19 is a UC express bus, you can use this as well. Depending on where you are at and can pick it up and what time you leave, this would be quicker. Similar path to the 20. Try to use this 19 if possible. http://www.transitchicago.com/riding_cta/b...spx?RouteId=325 http://www.transitchicago.com/travel_infor...ip_planner.aspx He can pick you up on the way there too, BONUS.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Feb 18, 2014 -> 12:03 AM) Be careful with uber in chicago, I believe their rates flex depending on availability/time. If you dont want a bus, the green line gets you close enough to walk to the building. Since its march, bus should be fine, download the cta app so that you can make sure you get to the bus before its there and you should have no problems. After the game, I usually walk a bit east towards the city and eventually find a cab. Thats why people pay for uber, but i just dont want you to get a $50 bill. It warns you before the fares go up and its usually during times like big events or a horrible rush hour. Uber is the best thing ever.

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Feb 16, 2014 -> 04:56 PM) After Michigan goes down to Wisconsin at home, Michigan St loses at home to...Nebraska. OK then. It stopped making sense weeks ago. So strange.

"Hey John. When they fire you there is a job for you in Columbus."

Big Ten basketball.

Can KBD jump on the floor from the stands?

The offensive foul calls were dreadful as well. Maybe in the second half they'll flip it.

3 fouls huh? Classic.

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Feb 15, 2014 -> 09:34 AM) It's not the only reason, but it made it an easier pick coming down to the final few spots. He's a really solid player otherwise. It was him or Bobby Ryan from what I understand. My insufferable blue jackets fans friends are saying Bob makes them Stanley Cup favorites. And people think fair weather hawks fans are horrible.

QUOTE (bmags @ Feb 15, 2014 -> 09:19 AM) Amazing that Oshie could come up with that variety with so much on the line. I thought it was foolish to put that much on him but he looked like he was having fun. (ugh why does he have to play for STL) It's literally the only reason he made the team. He's a shootout specialist.

f***ing Oshie. Man he's good.

Oshie had it.

Kaner almost snuck that backhand in.

Good chance these refs end up in a Russian ditch.

Didn't know that rule.

Choke job.

QUOTE (zenryan @ Feb 15, 2014 -> 08:34 AM) Kesler is much easier to root for when he's not playing for Vancouver. TJ Oshie.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Feb 15, 2014 -> 08:34 AM) If Russia can't dominate this first game in front of the home crowd, they better start planning for Bronze. USA is extremely composed and patient. They've gotten 29 pp too.

Well that's about as good of a pass as you'll see.
