QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Feb 19, 2013 -> 05:02 PM) There are 4 potential stops. 14, 16, 18 and 20. 20 is an interesting number for the Big 10. You then have 2 10 team divisions. This could create an "Old 10" division and a "New 10" division. There would be some balance because youd have Nebraska/PSU + new friends to counterbalance Michigan/OSU + old friends. The other bonus of this is that the "old 10" play every year all the time. They then get 1 fun game against a "new 10" so their fans wont be b****ing about never playing their old rivals. The new guys will get a chance to create new rivals. The obvious problem is Nebraska is on the wrong side of the country, but oh well its 1 outlier. I personally believe that the number is going to be 16, unless they can get 2 other schools they really want. After that it gets too big, and unless you go to 20, you are going to end up with some really unhappy fanbases. As of next year Michigan and OSU will be in the same division, I just wonder about the other one.

QUOTE (TaylorStSox @ Feb 19, 2013 -> 04:39 PM) Bikes have the same rights as cars and follow the same laws. Some areas allow rolling stops though. They are SUPPOSED to follow the same laws, but most dont. It is also illegal for adults to ride on sidewalks, but I still seem them zipping down scaring the s*** out of pedestrians.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Feb 19, 2013 -> 04:39 PM) 3 invites makes sense too, it leaves 1 invite for schools named Duke, ND or other to take 18. If the Big10 goes to 10 game IC, with 9 team divisions. Youd have 8 games in division and 2 games against other division. That would ensure that everyone plays at least 1 time every 5 years. That actually makes alot more sense now that you list it out like that. Add in the high profile OOC games that they are trying to schedule (2 per year) and it starts to look like reality.

Starting to feel better. Had almost a week off from the gym, thinking tomorrow is the day I get back into it. Dont want to go back too soon.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Feb 19, 2013 -> 04:19 PM) I thought bicyclists had to follow the same rules of the road as a car in a situation like that They are supposed to but never do. They ride the wrong way down the street cut through lights in front of cars, whatever they want to do. I ride my bike in Chicago and try to stay away from cars not cut in front of them like an idiot.

QUOTE (TaylorStSox @ Feb 19, 2013 -> 04:16 PM) Why do you care? It doesn't put you in danger. It's stupid for the biker to do, but are you that upset the cyclist might beat you home? Because its illegal and dangerous. Other than that, no big deal.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Feb 19, 2013 -> 04:28 PM) Rock, That Ermann guy was involved in the MD story break, so at least he has some track record. Thats what I saw too. UVA and GT make sense for what they are trying to do which is expand markets and add academic value.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Feb 19, 2013 -> 04:12 PM) Link? Looks like the twitter info I saw was based on the maryland stuff. I trust these guys though http://www.elevenwarriors.com/buckshot/201...oin-the-big-ten

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Feb 19, 2013 -> 03:57 PM) If there is a marked bike lane with a turn lane on the other side of it, the bikes have full right of way to the lane. Cars are supposed to check before crossing the lane - they will be going faster than the bikes usually, that is why it is done this way. But yes, you do need to check your side mirror for bikes before doing it, in case they are indeed coming from behind. Bikes are also supposed to slow down in that situation though. As a cyclist who spent multiple summers commuting to work downtown on a bike, I can tell you this scenario is not one of the common ones. The bigger problems are people opening doors to cars without checking the mirror first (did everyone forget that from drivers' ed?), and drivers wandering into the bike lane or stopping in it. Also, as a cyclist who follows the rules pretty much (just as drivers speed or maybe roll an occasional stop, I have been known to blow a light IF there is literally no traffic), it drives me nuts to see the cyclists who flout the laws and piss off drivers. It causes anger, which in turn drivers take out on ALL cyclists, even if we are trying to be reasonable. I'd be ecstatic if CPD started making a real effort to crack down on car-bicycle law scofflaws, both in cars and on bikes. The biker who circles in front of the line of cars waiting to blow a light angers me to no end.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Feb 19, 2013 -> 03:51 PM) Have you seen this confirmed anywhere? its hard to tell if its a rumor or true. The guy from 24/7 Maryland has been legit before, but some of the fake guys are running this too so hard to tell. Yes, a very good source from 11 warriors reported it. Looks like its legit. I know OSU has been all over NC and VA for football talent the last year or so and Georgia is obvious.

So outside of all the crap above. The Big Ten invited UNC, UVA and GT. Not bad at all academically or athletically.

QUOTE (farmteam @ Feb 19, 2013 -> 02:33 PM) Was it your most expensive vending machine purchase of all time? Had to be. I was so bored in the airport (I spend half my week in airports) and I forgot my headphones. So I ponied up the 300 bucks or whatever for the On-ear beats. They are pretty nice on airplanes though.

He's alive!!!

I've used a best buy vending machine in the detroit airport one day while I was bored. Picked up a pair of beats headphones.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Feb 19, 2013 -> 11:40 AM) I generally buy from Best Buy or other brick and mortar stores. I like to know that there is someone who is going to have to deal with me if my product doesnt work right. Amazon saves you tax and has ridiculously awesome return policies. If I am going brick and mortar I am going Costco because of their lifetime return policy.

The following is my new addiction. Really want to know what direction this thing is going.

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Feb 18, 2013 -> 11:09 AM) Yeah, went to both. Minnesota absolutely dominated most of the game, I think the shots ended 38-19 too. Few good bounces for Wisconsin and they were up 3-0. It also was tough because the ice was getting worse as the game went on. 1st period was fine, but 2nd and 3rd, the south zone was pretty bad. It was period 5 and 6 of the day so it was to be expected. I went to the Miami game and left before the second one.

Bikes are supposed to obey every traffic signal here but rarely do. Bike lanes are considered off limits except for turning.

I hate being sick and not being able to work out. I hate it so much. I am so close to uncovering my abs again.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Feb 15, 2013 -> 04:13 PM) Oh, and his fiance is smoking hot. I wouldn't expect differently, but just wanted to say it. I mean he still rakes in about 80 million a year. He'll always have a hot b****

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Feb 13, 2013 -> 05:42 PM) It's because all y'all are skeered of playin FCS teams Only Michigan is scared.

Watched the Following Pilot episode last night, wow. This has the chance to be a great show.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Feb 14, 2013 -> 08:58 AM) I've played hockey my entire life. Cooke went towards the boards awkwardly and his skate came up, and he was simply putting it down to keep his balance. It was a freak injury, nothing more. Reputation or not, that was CLEARLY a complete accident and not something any hockey player intentionally does - you are helpless when your feet are off the ice. Yeah, I mean if you tried to do that a few times it would be very hard. Freak accident.
