QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jan 9, 2014 -> 09:36 AM) Yeah - it was such a f***ing wild book. Its been a long time if ever when Ive read a book and legitimately didnt know who I liked and who I hated for a good portion of the read.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jan 9, 2014 -> 09:42 AM) Yeah, those jump knee jumps and scissor kick jumps are a bit hard on the back... Basement floor is carpet on top of concrete, not great.

QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Jan 9, 2014 -> 09:33 AM) It appears Auburn stopped forcing the issue on defense and blitzed a lot less. At least it seemed that way but the stats could tell otherwise. Someone investigated that and you are spot on. They stopped blitzing as much and his production increased.

TV shows as well. The Game of Thrones TV show is great for what it is and I try to consider it a different adaptation.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jan 9, 2014 -> 09:20 AM) Rock, you think you will bother with the X3 Yoga? I think I might be able to actually tolerate this one... This morning was "The Challenge." Basically, sets of different pull-ups and push-ups in fairly rapid succession for the entire half hour. I'm really liking these shorter workouts...not a lot of time wasted warming up or dicking around. Just let's get down to it and be on our way. Allows me to wake up at 5, feed my dogs and drop a deuce, then throw some shoes on, knock out the workout, then shower and get ready for work and out the door by 640 or so. I really am digging it. I skipped it and did some swimming since my back was barking last night and I didnt want to have to take a vicodin before a workout. I may keep it or put in a weight training day.

Steve, Gone Girl was one of my favorite reads of the last several years, I am betting they butcher the movie and I leave in disappointment. The suspense and different viewpoints is going to be hard to capture. I've read it 3 times this year and just love it.

Books are always better IMO. Movies always fall short because they miss so much detail.

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Jan 9, 2014 -> 09:11 AM) Also allowable: Schools in the Big 10 or MAC, schools your father rooted for, schools who suck or schools within your geographic region of your hometown. This is a Sox message board, we make a living out of making fun of fake Cubs fans that moved here and only like a team because of a field and drinking. Its our nature.

QUOTE (Brian @ Jan 9, 2014 -> 05:59 AM) Works for me. Anybody would've been an upgrade, although I don't totally blame Borges. The O-line was too inexperienced outside of Lewan. He's definitely an upgrade. I don't buy the youth factor. Both tackles had experience, they were all poorly coached. I assume Funk is on his way out.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jan 8, 2014 -> 11:16 PM) Rock, your OC might go to Texas Haven't seen that anywhere. I don't think he goes anywhere unless it's a HC job which he was in the running for this offseason.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jan 8, 2014 -> 10:39 PM) And Illinois had zero top ten finishes and two BCS bowls. God bless the Big Ten. Not a lot of importance in end of the year rankings outside of who is #1

Man Henrik stood on his head but the difference was two softies by Crawford. Sit his ass down.

You can clearly tell when the team is coasting and when it wakes up.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Jan 8, 2014 -> 09:03 PM) Im not sure people realized how much of a black hole Bruiser and Evans were on offense last year. This team actually wants to score, its different. Different than any other team Bo has ever had.

Dropping into it now. Weird

Bo frantically telling the Badgers to score less in the second half. Big numbers make him nervous.

QUOTE (Brian @ Jan 8, 2014 -> 04:29 PM) Borges gawn You guys hired the OC that was on his way out at Bama, Nussmeier.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jan 8, 2014 -> 08:40 PM) That would be because he was a stand up goaltender for the first 25 years of his s***ty life. Hahaha. I was thinking more like still hurt.

He seems reluctant to get into his butterfly.

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Jan 8, 2014 -> 07:59 PM) Those were 2 awful goals. Terrible. Crawford looks to be fighting the puck since he got back.

QUOTE (farmteam @ Jan 8, 2014 -> 05:32 PM) The Twin Cities are rapidly expanding its light rail system. The connecting the downtowns of St. Paul and Minneapolis opens this year. The fact they've never been connected by any transit immediately makes them suck.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jan 8, 2014 -> 04:41 PM) Outside of a place like NYC, Chicago's mass transit is about as good as it gets nationally. There might be a couple of other on the East Coast, but especially as you go West and South, there is no such thing as public transit like Chicago has, especially trains. DC and Denver have it better than us out of the cities I travel to extensively. Our transit system is old and very one-dimensional. Back in the day the green line west and the El south were the two earliest lines on the city transit system, and both havent expanded since the early 1900's. In a city with such horrible traffic and road conditions they should invest in a more uni-directional transit system while eliminating the dual station format downtown. While at the same time giving us high speed options to nearby cities like St Louis, Detroit and Minneapolis. I envision a system where there is a Hub OUTSIDE of Chicago where multiple lines can converge and allow passengers to travel between suburbs without having to go back into the city. At least in my perfect world.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jan 3, 2014 -> 09:21 AM) There is no doubt that this entire region needs more transportation routes. The ones they have are so overburdened it is ridiculous. As a whole, we all drive way too much in this area, mostly because the public transportation system could be better.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Jan 8, 2014 -> 04:21 PM) What's with the DVD quality qualifier to these posts? It's either full HD or it's not worth it IMO. Differentiates from the Cam torrents. VidSync/Cam whatever is a guy with a camcorder in a theater. DVDRip is usually from a screener which is at least 720p

QUOTE (Brian @ Jan 8, 2014 -> 04:29 PM) Borges gawn NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
