QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Mar 10, 2006 -> 10:05 AM) It's official, NCAA is a joke once again. Ohio State gets a slap on the wrist considering the crimes, a 3 year probation period and a loss of 1 basketball scholarship. Of course, it LOOKS tough, but considering what they did it's very little. No postseason bans, and the 1 scholly loss won't affect the Thad 5. If anybody other than one of the main cash cows did this, it would be a death penalty like punishment. *Sighs* man does the NCAA suck, I just wish everybody was treated the same way. No postseason ban? Do you not remember last year? OSU made a self imposed ban from postseason play..does this not count? They also lose all record of basketball 99-03. They have to take down the final four banner from 99. Explain to me how this is not a good punishment? It was really not OSUs fault that Obrien was a f***ing idiot. Once they found out about what he had done the fired him and took the actions. You can clearly see that the NCAA felt that Obrien and his assistant were the majority of the problem.

QUOTE(IlliniKrush @ Mar 9, 2006 -> 06:08 PM) Well if someone is going to argue that OSU should be a one seed if they win the tournament, if Illinois wins the tournament, you have to at least make a similar argument. I really dont think that the poster was saying that OSU is a one seed just if they win the tournament.

QUOTE(IlliniKrush @ Mar 9, 2006 -> 02:46 PM) You could make the case that going into Sunday's game, if it's Ill-OSU, they could have a 1 seed and 2 seed reserved. Winner would take the 1 seed, loser the 2 seed. Not saying that's what's going to happen by any means, but it's a possibility. I dont think there is any way that Illinois is a one seed.

QUOTE(MarlinFan84 @ Mar 9, 2006 -> 03:59 PM) You will all laugh, but: Nova, Ohio St, Gonzaga, and SIU(I've never picked them before, but I think this is the MVC's year to get one in the F4...plus, I pray alot). Ohio State over Nova Gonzaga over SIU Ohio State over Gonzaga, barely I like the way you pick em!!!!!

Where exactly is Chicago St. located? How bout Oral Roberts?

QUOTE(Jimbo's Drinker @ Mar 7, 2006 -> 04:26 PM) if the bulls take either of them early in the draft I am done with this team. Amen to that....I really cant stand either one of these kids.

Hell of a Job Buckeyes!! Most deserving and I think the awards run true.

so many memories....RIP Kirby

I am not really all that worried about the Big Ten tourney...the BUCKS are big ten champs and will be playing as a 2 seed in the big dance. They get to start in Dayton...HOME GAMES....works for me.

GOBUCKS!!! LETS DO THIS!!

Is everyone in the live draft? Is there a way to tell?

Should be a good tourney. I will be rooting for PSU to beat NW. I really dont like the way OSU matches up against NW and they always play OSU tough.

All this talk about OSU as a 1 seed, I really dont want to see them get the 1 seed. The two seed will have them playing their first weekend in Dayton. These will basically be home games for them. Who knows where they will go if they are the 1 seed.

Got mine in the mail yesterday...should be a very good time.

QUOTE(RME JICO @ Mar 4, 2006 -> 07:57 AM) Also, I don't know if this has anything to do with the problem, but when you go to: http://www.soxtalk.com/forums/ it asks you to save a file called forums. This was the same thing that happened when the forums were down. It might just be a bug, but normally if you go to the / of site, it defaults to the index.php, but it is not doing that here. Just FYI. That was what I kept getting Thursday morning. It kept telling me to DL something...I was ummmm should I...I dont know?!?!? And then I tried to go straight to the forums and that didnt work either so I figured it was a glitch. I called a friend had them try to get in later in the morning and they said they got a page saying forbidden.

I really hope you guys pursue this asshole. You have no idea how pissed off I was thursday morning when I couldnt get my soxtalk fix before work.

UCONN.....BC....OSU....KENTUCKY

Just got back from NW. What a good game to watch. Saying that though OSU played like s***. They looked real soft and slow the whole game. I was not impressed. If they play like that the rest of March the season will be over very soon. Was suprised to see so many Illini fans at the game. Duke losing is to be expected, especially since FSU should of and could of beat them last time they played. Texas is f***ing pathetic and over rated. PSU way to score 38 points for the game, sad. Also thanks for everyone congratulating the buckeyes. They definitely deserved the Big Ten crown and played some amazing basketball down the stretch. GO BUCKS!!

GO BUCKS!!! BEAT NW AND WRAP UP THE BIG TEN!!!

QUOTE(AddisonStSox @ Feb 26, 2006 -> 06:55 PM) ...not to mention the absolute chaos downtown. It would be horrendous...absolutely unbearable. Take your Olympics elsewhere. Yeah could you imagine the rush hour commutes into downtown? Especially with all the security measures...what a mess!

I would give him a standing ovation. Frank is the reason I am a white sox fan today, well him and robin ventura.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Feb 26, 2006 -> 06:40 PM) God, I hope not. I totally agree with you. I would be against having the olympics here in chicago. I honestly think it would be a waste of money and taxes would increase for us here in chicago.

Indiana actually is playing like they should of all this year. Will it last the whole game though?

Good home win by the buckeyes lastnight. Hopefully they keep their head in it for NW and Purdue. I will be at wednesdays game up in evanston.

GO BUCKS....BEAT M*CH*G*N!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WRAP UP THE BIG TEN!
