QUOTE(SleepyWhiteSox @ Nov 6, 2007 -> 02:21 PM) Some of the college teams practice against guys who played high school ball... Im pretty sure SIU does

Mike North said on the air recently that he would challenge a Stacey Dales on the Chicago Sky to 1 on 1 and he gauranteed he would beat her. Im waiting for her to take him up on it

QUOTE(LauraJ14 @ Nov 6, 2007 -> 10:30 AM) Illinois used to have a tournament - I think it was the Illini Classic and they usually were other teams from Illinois there. I remember them playing ISU several times back when I went to school there. I think that they played Bradley last season and I know that the Illini have played UIC several times in the last 5 or 6 years. SIU-UofI is the one I want QUOTE(Brian @ Nov 6, 2007 -> 10:39 AM) Kyle is referring to the run around that Illinois gives SIU when approached about playing each other. Chris Lowery has asked Weber about it to no avail. It goes back as far as Weber asking Self to no avail. I was hoping Illinois would beat VTech last year in the tournament so we could have that match up. I think it is probably better for Bruce right now that they lost to Va Tech. If SIU would have done to the Illini what they did to Va Tech, I dont know that Weber would still have his job right now

QUOTE(Steve9347 @ Nov 6, 2007 -> 09:28 AM) I don't care of Ozzie has to play shortstop himself... I want Uribe gone and gone for good. Well we at least know that Guillen would get a bunt down.

i know one thing, Jose Guillen has killed the Sox every chance he has gotten. Coop doesnt know how to pitch to juicers

QUOTE(Brian @ Nov 6, 2007 -> 09:21 AM) Hater. This whole HBK/Orton thing is tough cuz I am a huge Orton fan but HBK is one of my favs of all time. If we get a 4 star match at SS, we all win. Believe me, Im trying to appreciate Orton as champ. i just think the WWE took away the one thing that made Orton what he is, and that isnt right. The Rock was cocky before he was champ, during the time he was champ, and while he was chasing the belt. I understand that Orton will never be what Rocky was on the mic, but at the same time you have to let the guy holding the belt do a little smack talking and enjoy his time with the belt. My prediction for SS is that Edge is gonna pull something outta his arse and wind up with the title, setting up a long work between Orton and Edge that was supposed to happen at the conclusion of team RKO(but never happened due to Edge's pectoral injury). HBk is just holding the ship up now because Orton "ended his career" a few months ago.

QUOTE(Brian @ Nov 6, 2007 -> 08:42 AM) With the way they are setting things up, HBK will help elevate Orton as a champ at Survivor Series. The crowd is popping huge every time Orton gets kicked. I expect at SS that Orton finally learns, ducks it, hits RKO, wins. That is good storytelling and will make Orton look very good. All this is just build up for a pay off. If the pay off doesn't come, who knows. Thats because of who is delivering the kick, not because of who is recieving it

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Nov 6, 2007 -> 09:00 AM) NIU won both of the exhibition games easily against top 5 ranked D III teams (which I feel better about after seeing Michigan State against a top D II team) and open their season Friday at Northern Iowa, playing 3 games in 3 days at the UNI Tournament. I'm just hoping they can go 2-1 in that and show some things, I like the style the new coach Ricardo Patton has them playing, and there are a couple talented newcomers. We follow that up with a trip to SIU next Saturday and then a trip to Indiana State next Tuesday before coming home for 3 games. It's nice to at least have something interesting in regards to basketball going on here again, too bad about the football team though.... Its nice that there can be an in-state game in Illinois. Too bad the fighting Illini dont feel the same way Seriously though, if there was something like the Iowa in-state games or a tournament, I think it would be huge for any of the teams involved.

QUOTE(Brian @ Nov 5, 2007 -> 10:06 PM) Kyle, we have to show off the 115th reunion of DX! Orton has to take a back seat! Orton sells the super kick like death. He rules! Come on, even you have to notice that since he has been champ he hasnt posed one time. this isnt a one-time sell job, this has been going on for weeks. The one great heel quality he has is his innate ability to be and look cocky at all times. Now he is just an angry champion? He could do so much more. Why is he coming off as just a jobber champ? It doesnt make sense. Even though I didnt like his wrestling much before, he could always look the part. And he wasnt bad on the mic provided he was under 2 minutes. His wrestling has gotten better now and his overall persona has taken a dive. What gives? All of the storylines right now seem like they are just waiting for *something* to happen. Whether that be Jericho returning or Edge or whoever, nothing is moving in any recognizable direction. DX for one night only? Yeah right.

Santino and Stone Cold were hilarious tonite Orton has gotten much better in the ring recently(avoiding many chokehold opportunities), but his persona has gotten worse. i dont understand how they put the strap on him and take away his cockiness and replace it with Angry Randy. He doesnt even come out and do his signature pose anymore, he barely shows off anymore, it just isnt like him. At least when his wrestling wasnt up to par you could see him giving a cocky grin or posing or doing something to make you loathe him. Not so much anymore

QUOTE(KevinM @ Nov 5, 2007 -> 12:27 PM) Adam Dunn>Carl Crawford This team needs to be built around guys like Fields, not swapping them for overrated one trick ponies like Crawford. Please explain the one-trick pony part

I honestly just meant it as a joke because Zumaya hurt his wrist playing GH2. If he really hurt his shoulder playing GH3 I will LMAO

QUOTE(The Critic @ Nov 5, 2007 -> 02:51 AM) Congrats, Kyyle!! I really thought I'd miss the competition aspect of playing ball, since I was hyper-competitive in my younger days, but honestly the only thing I miss about softball is hanging out with the guys. Somehow talking to the other dads at the father/daughter school functions just doesn't bring the same kind of enjoyment as playing a game and downing some beers. OH, IT'S CLOSE, THOUGH..... My last season ended with our pitcher striking out the last out with the bases loaded and us leading by 2 in the 8th inning to win the championship. I don't know how you take strike 3 on a full count for the 3rd out in the title game with the bases loaded trailing by 2, but the guy just stood there and watched it drop. Good times..... Thanks man, I really appreciate it. Sometimes softball gets a bad rap that it is full of people who cannot forget their high school years and are basically a bunch of red asses who argue everything and think they are in the world championships at all times. My team is just the opposite, its a bunch of guys who like to compete, but dont take it so seriously that we lose control. We really have a great bunch of guys, and it was such a good time all season. I have one more league playoff on this upcoming thursday, and then I will be done for the season. Critic, I have a guy on my team who is famous for watching the 3rd strike drop in front of his face. I dont understand that either, especially in situations where you are supposed to swing, like the situation your pitcher was in. Softball is a hitting game, you have to be ready to hit.

Even though this is a nerd thing to do, Im gonna brag anyways that my 12 inch softball team just won the Fall league championships tonite. We smoked the first team 17-2, the second team we beat 13-9, and we won our championship game 13-12 in the 8th inning( extra inning in softball) after being down 11-0 in the 2nd inning. This is my first year playing after taking 2 years off, and I forgot how much fun it is to get out and compete a little bit, even though its not for anything but a neat little trophy.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Nov 3, 2007 -> 12:43 AM) I was there. They are obviously VERY distracted, it was shocking how sloppy and unfocused they looked, outside of Tyrus and Ben Gordon who were great. Ben Wallace is officially useless now too, he got eaten alive on the glass all night. Just make the damn Kobe trade already, not like this group is going anywhere. Once you see the gametape and see how bad Gordon was in the last 6 minutes of the game, you might want to recant that statement. Gordon was absolutely brutal when they needed him the most, he turned the ball over on about 4 straight possessions.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Nov 3, 2007 -> 08:19 AM) Only 1 game though Dick, let's see how he does now teams know that he's actually capable of pulling games like that. Would still take Aldridge over him in both the short and long - term. In think this thread was a little ahead of itself to be either calling Thomas a joke or saying he is going to be a solid-to-great NBA player. The whole deal with Aldridge was that you knew what you had with him. Low post scorer, rebounder, good size and hands. Everyone knew Tyrus was raw but can see that his potential takes him past Aldridge should he realize that potential. But we all know the double edge sword that potential is and the inherent risk that comes with a player that has to be developed. We just wont know what we have with Thomas right away, and posting every game "HE WAS GREAT", or "HE SUCKED" isnt going to sway anyone. Not like that will stop anyone though Regardless, Thomas had a really good night last night. He hit a couple of outside shots, was very active around the basket, kept himself out of foul trouble, and looked to be in control of himself throughout the game. Thats all skiles can really ask of him right now. Sure, he had a few out of control shots after he hit a jumper and a dunk, but he got himself back under control and started playing within the offense again and stopped trying to go one on one every play.

Lloyd: You're it. Harry: You're it. Lloyd: You're it, quitsies! Harry: Anti-quitsies, you're it, quitsies, no anti-quitsies, no startsies! Lloyd: You can't do that! Harry: Can too! Lloyd: Cannot, stamp it! Harry: Can too, double stamp it, no erasies! Lloyd: Cannot, triple stamp, no erasies, Touch blue make it true. Harry: No, you can't do that... you can't triple stamp a double stamp, you can't triple stamp a double stamp! Lloyd!

i do have to add, I think I am one of the few people that really likes Bit O Honey too. And you dont see that type of candy much outside of Halloween

i can tell already that I was wrong about heath ledger being the joker.

Once again, why are the Lakers in a position to dictate the trade? Kobe has been in the drivers seat since his infamous remarks about getting a Bulls jersey, the Lakers dont want to be left high and dry with an unhappy superstar who will walk in 2 years leaving them with nothing. Regardless what Magic is saying, if Kobe wants to play with Deng then i guess Deng is off the table, the Lakers will still have to deal Kobe. The funny thing is that the Lakers are going to have to bite the bullet and trade for less value, and they are trying to max out the value which just isnt possible because of their lack of leverage.

QUOTE(KevHead0881 @ Oct 31, 2007 -> 04:24 PM) For what its worth, Paxson told the Daily Herald that the rumor is false. QUOTE(jackie hayes @ Oct 31, 2007 -> 04:31 PM) Yes, but it was recently 90% true. So, if it's totally, 100% false, that makes it only 10% false overall. It has to be 190% false before we can really dismiss it. LOL, jackie I almost spit my water on my new keyboard

Im still a sucker for milkduds at halloween. Nothing beats frozen peanutbutter cups, but for some reason milkduds taste better on halloween

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Oct 31, 2007 -> 02:40 PM) I'm not a bball expert by ANY MEANS, but if there is a deal for Kobe on the table, and Kirk is the center piece, you do the deal yesterday.... Yeah, but do you still do the deal if Gordon is also leaving the team? These are the principles of the trade, im sure there are other pieces from the other teams moving around as well. The discussion is also happening here on Talkbulls.com as well. Steve9347 is spearheading them both
