QUOTE (farmteam @ Feb 20, 2013 -> 06:30 PM) Why I am blanking on the current Big Wisconsin White Guy...not Greg Stiemsma...not Brian Butch...Berggren! There we go. Unless you meant Brusewitz. I'd agree with that too. Check out the ugly italian we run out there, Amedeo Della Valle.

Ugliest player in the big ten about to check in.

9 fouls in the first two min in this game. Officiating is so inconsistent.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Feb 20, 2013 -> 03:54 PM) Google Glass looks so awesome. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=playe...p;v=v1uyQZNg2vE I don't know how much it will cost once it hits the consumer market, but I'd fork out $1000 for something like this. Thats amazing, although who knows how practical. Something I would probably waste my money on though for sure cause im a f***ing nerd.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Feb 20, 2013 -> 04:42 PM) He just went from very underrated to very overrated over night. He's been the best player on the best team in the country almost all season. I wouldnt call that "overnight"

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Feb 20, 2013 -> 03:39 PM) They only way to eat Samoas is one whole box at a time. Do you freeze yours? I like to and I've been told its weird.

QUOTE (Tex @ Feb 20, 2013 -> 03:19 PM) I log in to soxtalk while eating half a pack of girl scout cookies and this is the first thread I see. LOL. I just got mine last night. I have allotted myself 2 cookies per day only if I hit the gym hard. So difficult because samoa's are my weakness.

QUOTE (Cali @ Feb 20, 2013 -> 01:17 PM) I'm just trying to keep the weight off, and oils especially olive oil are very fattening. I get my oils from Nuts/Seeds with a much lower caloric intake... Personally I am not in favor of eliminating it to lose weight if you use a TBSP of EVOO at a time. As long as you arent substituting chemicals for it you should be ok. Ive seen too often people focus on lower calories and substitue chemically-enhanced items which most likely have negative effects on your body anyway. When I was on the Steve Harvey show there was a cook who gave me one of her cookbooks. Its all about lowering calorie intake but she adds in all of these fake foods. Overall a terrible diet.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Feb 20, 2013 -> 02:02 AM) I like it. Eye level stays the same, swings through the ball a bit better. It's a little quieter too which is what I've always felt was the biggest flaw in his swing. Getting him hitting well would be monstrous. he still has a hitch though.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Feb 20, 2013 -> 09:15 AM) I even read anything he writes and I get a headache, but his sources have been pretty good in the past. The reporters and Rose himself have been lying to the general public. The media reported over and over that Rose cant dunk yet, but there is clear video of him dunking a ball over and over. We wont know anything for sure until he steps on the court.

QUOTE (Cali @ Feb 20, 2013 -> 12:03 PM) Well like I said, it's for me. I personally try to have the least amount of oil in my diet as possible. If you're worried about flavor though, what I try to do is cook them in some fresh homemade vegetable broth (but that of course involves a whole different step of freezing veggies making the broth haha) Any reason for keeping olive oil out of your diet? Its fairly healthy for you to have some oil.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Feb 20, 2013 -> 12:24 PM) Speaking of tvs, has anyone sprung for one of the 70 or 80 inch flatscreens yet? My buddy just did, 600hz I believe. Havent seen it yet. I've been eyeing one from costco for some time. Probably waiting till I move.

QUOTE (He_Gawn @ Feb 20, 2013 -> 12:07 PM) Vic just doesn't take a day off. He's a workout freak, along with Sheehey and Hulls. I wouldn't be surprised to see Sheehey make a similiar type of jump next year with Vic gone. Heck, as soon as the team got back to Bloomington last night after midnight, Hulls went straight to Cook Hall to shoot. Slight talent/athleticism gap between those two and Oladipo. Is it me or did Hulls used to have a more fluid shot? He seems to cock it way back over his right shoulder now.

QUOTE (ZoomSlowik @ Feb 20, 2013 -> 11:04 AM) I happened to catch part of his interview after the game, and he used the phrase "hockey play" like 3 times in a minute. Total bulls***. So he was trying to catch the puck with his elbow/forearm? He was apparently going to grab the puck, through Hossa, with his elbow.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Feb 20, 2013 -> 11:42 AM) Yeah, they'll throw in some extras (brackets, connectors) that others don't for free, plus the great tech support and guides. Their prices are more in-line with others these days and can come out cheaper when you factor in the add-ins. Edit: I don't think I'd use them for anything but car audio, though. I don't need a guide on how to hook up a TV or A/V receiver. I used them for car audio once and really the guy on the phone taught me enough that I never needed them again. They are one of the only sources for marine audio that I trust though.

Canned tuna or fresh?

QUOTE (iamshack @ Feb 20, 2013 -> 11:39 AM) They are also really overpriced, are they not? You kind of pay a premium for their value adds.

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Feb 20, 2013 -> 11:31 AM) Oh, I'm not saying you're lying...I'm simply saying that not all mail order experiences are the same. Sometimes I've had good luck, and the turnaround was quick...other times, not so much. With brick and mortar, the experience is same day...all you have to do is bring it back and get a new one...less than 1 day turnaround with a little work. Mail order will never be that fast...at least not anytime soon. The words "best buy" are skewing my opinions. They are just horrific people. Costco I agree with. Their return policy and experience is fantastic. However for most items I still save a ton of money and time with Amazon. Even if they someday add taxes ill still be a power user. Just better grab another TV or two before that happens.

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Feb 20, 2013 -> 11:27 AM) You always have to work with Amazon to do this, but in some cases it's not as cut and dried, nor as it as easy as you're leading on here. For some items/circumstances, it is that easy, for others, it's not...and it has nothing to do with Amazon in general, it's a drawback to mailorder. You have to pay attention to he vendor behind Amazon, I always check it out and check the reviews. I never buy from a third party site and almost always make sure they are part of their immediate network. For whatever reason once I switched to prime my customer service responses has been muh better as well.

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Feb 20, 2013 -> 11:25 AM) You take a lot of facts and dismiss them. First, they sent out a repair guy -- took 2 days -- couldn't fix it. Now, I have to return it. More days. Now I have to wait for them to ship a return. More days. It's WAY more than the easy 4 days you're quoting here. I went through this, and it took about 3.5 weeks in all. They actually shipped the replacement and the delivery guys put the dead unit in The replacements box so it was all one process. Like I said 4 business days. No reason to lie about it, maybe your experience was different, but mine has always been positive.

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Feb 20, 2013 -> 11:22 AM) Again, not easy. Went through it. And this also depends on where it was actually bought from. Different shippers have different repair/return policies. Some of them don't handle all of that for you simply because it went through Amazon. If you work with Amazon directly their policy generally supersedes the vendor. I've been through it too and it was awesome. Trying to fit a 50 in plasma into my g37 coupe would have been hilarious.

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Feb 20, 2013 -> 11:22 AM) Greeeeattt...so you're without a tv for weeks on end, when if you had bought it at Best Buy, you could have returned it for a replacement within 30 minutes. Took about 4 business days in total. I didn't mind since I have other tvs. I guess if you really don't mind lugging the thing all across town and then want to unbox and reinstall your tv again you can have it quickly if its in stock. I don't find that to be more convenient at all.

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Feb 20, 2013 -> 11:19 AM) And if it breaks a month later...not incredibly easy. They fix it or replace it. Very easy actually.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Feb 20, 2013 -> 11:17 AM) If you order a tv from an amazon vendor and have to return it for some reason, I pray for you, because that would definitely be a massive pain in the ass. Generally the vendor sets up a repair first, if that doesn't work they come and box it up and return it for you. Then come back and set up the replacement. I've actually had to do this once.

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Feb 20, 2013 -> 11:15 AM) For that type of thing, sure...but I'm talking bigger appliances and tv's/electronics. They deliver, unbox, set up and test and dispose of the garbage. Incredibly easy.
