  1. QUOTE(SS Gload @ Mar 8, 2006 -> 06:37 PM) I know it won't happen, but the bears should make an attempt to get Culpepper. Despite his woes last year, he can be a playmaker, and be a steal of a deal if obtained for a reasonable price. Now that he is coming off a major injury, his stock might have dropped, but I don't really want to deal with more qb injuries than we already have. The chances of Minnesota trading their probowl quarterback to a division rival are slim to none, and slim just left town.
  2. QUOTE(MarlinFan84 @ Mar 8, 2006 -> 05:38 PM) Wow I got my facts a tad mixed up. I wasn't discrediting Webber at all, mainly saying I'm happy with Lowery. Well, you kinda were because you were insinuating that he inherited a great team. I just think you got Painter and Weber mixed up. No big deal, I just have a ton of respect for what Weber was able to accomplish and what he did for us in the dawg pound at the time. He was a tremendously cool guy, I got called into his office a few times and he was really cool about getting T-shirts made for the dawg pound and tickets to the MVC tourney. If there was no Bruce Weber, SIU wouldnt be sitting on 5 straight NCAA bids.
  3. QUOTE(MarlinFan84 @ Mar 8, 2006 -> 12:52 PM) Illini fans are cool, I cant stand the bandwagoners though. You can have Webber, I'll take Lowery. Webber inherited a great team, came in the middle of the Brooks/Hairston regime. Ummm, No. Webber came in without Brooks and Hairston, he recruited those two. In fact, his first job was to convince Kent Williams to play for him because Williams initially signed his LOI with Rich Herrin before he got fired. Weber built SIU to the point it is at right now, and he still works behind the scenes in the development of SIU and Chris Lowery as a head coach. Matt Painter inherited a great team from Bruce Weber, and Chris Lowery inherited a great team from Painter. Weber took a senior castoff from a BCS team(Rolen Roberts) a junior power forward that wasnt recruited at all(Jermaine Dearman), an undersized shooting guard converted to a point guard(Kent Williams), and two sophomores (Hairston and Brooks) and rode them all the way to the sweet 16. Weber built this program brick by brick, because Rich Herrin got lazy and decided he didnt want to leave Southern Illinois to recruit. Dont discredit the man.
  4. QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Mar 8, 2006 -> 12:54 PM) Separating "magic" from reality is sad? Sounds like you could use som Theodoric of York. Well, to me it is kind of exciting to think that it is possible that there is another humanoid race existing close to where we are(Bigfoot, Yeti, etc.), or a species of plesiosaur inhabiting various lakes around the World(Nessie, Champ, Okgeechobee(sp?)), or a species of dinosaur inhabiting the deep jungles of the Congo. A few times, the myth came true with species like the giant squid finally caught on camera or bodies washing up, and the coelycanth being caught. But for every good story, another three are pretty much dispelled. It just takes a little fun out of it when you realize that these somewhat-possible mysteries when I was a kid are gone, i guess. Im such a nerd about that kind of stuff anyways, it fascinates me.
  5. This will be what, Angelo's third time at trying to acquire this guy?
  6. QUOTE(GoSox05 @ Mar 8, 2006 -> 12:51 PM) The sox are gonna be good. I s*** you not. LMAO. good post.
  7. That is an interesting theory for one point in time. But Nessie sightings have been going on since biblical times according to National Geographic and Discovery Channel, and I dont think Asian elephants were crisscrossing the UK with a circus at that time. There are many explanations for Nessie though, Seals, schools of eels, driftwood, hoaxes, etc. An Elephant could have fed many myths for a period of time. The longer we go without any proof or more sightings, the more likely that this is nothing though. Its kind of sad to see cryptozoology proved wrong time and time again by the advancement of modern day science. Its like they are lifting any sort of "magic" from reality.
  8. LOL, the bottom line on ESPN reads: "Roger Clemens tells (various news outlet) that he is retiring after the World Baseball Classic (bottom line rolls over) But he may change his mind" GMAFB!
  9. QUOTE(MarlinFan84 @ Mar 8, 2006 -> 08:57 AM) I say this with no shame...I have a man crush on Bryan Mullins, he makes Brooks leaving stomachable...if he comes out the gate as a scorer, I honestly believe the Salukis can run the table in the MVC next year, and thats a bold statement. I dont think he has a problem with scoring other than he prefers to pass it. He does need to work on his outside shot and his confidence in it, but if he starts contributing 8-13 points every game, the Salukis will be REAL damn good next year. And I have nothing but confidence in him to elevate his game. Honest to god, when he hit that acrobatic shot against UNI and twisted his ankle at the same time, I just had a feeling that the Salukis would win the tournament. Confidence is a somethign that Shaw and Mullins are developing right now, and if they come into the NCAA tournament playing the same way they played in the MVC tournament, the Salukis will win a game or two.
  10. Victoria, not Victorious At last Saturday's Cal men's hoops season finale versus USC, Bears boosters pulled a prank that straddles the fuzzy gray line between "Crap-Yer-Pants Hilarious" and "Inexcusably Cruel." When USC guard Gabe Pruitt took his first trip to the free throw line early in the game, the Cal student section hollered in unison: "VIC-TOR-IA, VIC-TOR-IA," and then yelled out a telephone number. Pruitt glanced back at the crowd in horror and bewilderment before clanking his free throws. It turns out that a couple of mischeivous little bastards from the Cal student section had been IM'ing with Pruitt all week under the identity of "Victoria," a fictional UCLA hottie, and Pruitt was eagerly anticipating a date with this nubile co-ed back in Westwood after the game. In preparation for the date, Pruitt had handed over his digits, which the Cal student section recited back to him in unison. Pruitt, a 79% free throw shooter this season, missed both shots after the "VIC-TOR-IA" chants began, and hit only three out of 13 shots the whole game. Cal beat USC by 11 for the season sweep, in part due to the Cal fans' devious psy-ops. Blog #1 Blog #2 I cant find any stories that arent from blogs, but this is hilarious
  11. This is becoming Favre-like in how it is dragging out. Could somebody please stop this ride? Its boring and I want off.....

    That thing will be great with some butter....
  13. I am very excited for the future of the Saluki program. They have some red-shirted kids who will help tremendously next year(Jordan Armstrong and Chris Cornelius) and prep star Joshua Bone coming out of Brentwood Academy in Tennessee. Chris Lowery had a very tough start to the season with Nick Rogers leaving the team because of homesickness and Mike Dale leaving the team because of completely selfish reasons, but he righted that ship and still has them pointed in the right direction. The more attention the program gets, the better.
  14. QUOTE(SoxFan101 @ Mar 8, 2006 -> 08:27 AM) Do Malik Allen and Othella Harrington always have to shoot the ball whenevr they get it? Yes, I think they both have developed a bit of the Jason Caffey Black hole syndrome.
  15. Yeah, Eddie lost a good portion of his tongue to cancer. And he lost a good portion of his mind to the whole "Van halen doesnt need their lead singers" situation. Either way he looks like he has been through hell.

    LMAO, I love that first line: "On your way to College?....." You just know a girl needs a new set before she goes off to school, lol. "With a Low APR and Bigger Breasts, you will be ready for anything!" I think I just found a new sig,

  18. QUOTE(SSH2005 @ Mar 7, 2006 -> 06:15 PM) Recap | Box Score Why is the recap of this game on the Detroit homepage? Wierd
  19. QUOTE(Cuck the Fubs @ Mar 7, 2006 -> 03:58 PM) I hope Bulls-Pistons becomes as good as it was in the 90's. I think the rivalry has already taken steps back to where it used to be in the early 90's. If the Bulls had as much fight every game as they do when they play the Pistons, they would be a much better team this year.
  20. QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Mar 7, 2006 -> 01:56 PM) Let's just run this down... 2nd pick in 1 draft in exchange for Elton Brand 2 picks in 2 drafts, along with players, in exchange for Eddy Curry. Well, at least I like our chances. Oh I do too. I just think the term "Post-Jordan Dynasty" is a stretch for right now. God I hope I am wrong, but as for now I wont count on it.
  21. QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Mar 7, 2006 -> 11:01 AM) I cant remember which game it was, but Bobby came out to "The Game", and it was awesome. I have no idea who sings it, but it was/is HHH theme music(havent watched wrestling in years....) They should stick with it, it was really coo.. Motorfinger sings that song. As much as I dont like Triple H, that song would be pretty awesome for Bobby

    Here are a few longer corny jokes: A man staggers into an emergency room with a concussion, multiple bruises, two black eyes and a five iron wrapped tightly around his throat. Naturally, the doctor asks him what happened. "Well, it was like this," said the man. "I was having a quiet round of golf with my wife, when at a difficult hole, we both sliced our balls into a pasture of cows. We went to look for them, and while I was rooting around, noticed one of the cows had something white at its rear end. I walked over and lifted up the tail, and sure enough, there was a golf ball with my wife's monogram on it-- stuck right in the middle of the cow's butt." "That's when I made my big mistake." "What did you do?" asks the doctor. "Well, I lifted the cow's tail again and yelled to my wife, "Hey, this looks like yours!" "I don't remember much after that!" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A blonde and a brunette decided to rob a bank. They quickly devised a good plan and they put their plan to action. The brunette drove up to the front of the bank that they had decided to rob. She turned to the blonde and asked her, "Now, do you remember what the plan is?" The blonde sighed and replied, "Yeah, yeah, I remember..." The brunette went over the plan once more and let the blonde out to do her stuff. Before the blonde could shut the door, the brunette yelled out, "Be sure to be in and out in no more than 5 minutes!" The blonde ran inside and the brunette waited in the car... and waited... and waited... and waited... and waited. After waiting for so long in the car, the blonde bursts out of the bank's doors, the alarm blaring loud enough to wake everyone up. The blonde was lugging a bank safe behind her by a rope tied around it. A security guard ran out of the bank, his pants down around his ankles and attempting to reach his gun. The blonde breathed heavily as she tried to put the safe in the car but finally just gave up and dropped the safe behind. She ran into the passenger seat and pulled the door shut, the car already moving. The security guard yelled, "Stop! Stop!" while the pair drove off, leaving the safe with rope tied tightly around it behind. The brunette frantically asked the blonde, "What the hell happened in there?!?" The blonde was panting and turned to the brunette and choked out, "What do you mean? I followed the plan exactly!" The brunette paused and yelled, "YOU IDIOT! YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO TIE UP THE GUARD AND BLOW THE SAFE!" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A married couple is driving down the interstate doing 55 mph. The husband is behind the wheel. His wife looks over at him and says, "Honey, I know we've been married for 15 years, but, I want a divorce." The husband says nothing but slowly increases speed to 60 mph. She then says, "I don't want you to try to talk me out of it, because I've been having an affair with your best friend, and he's a much better lover than you." Again the husband stays quiet and just speeds up as his anger increases. She says, "I want the house." Again the husband speeds up, and now is doing 70 mph. She says, "I want the kids, too." The husband just keeps driving faster, and faster, now he's up to 80 mph. She says, "I want the car, the checking account, and all the credit cards, too." The husband slowly starts to veer toward a bridge overpass piling, as she says, "Is there anything you want?" The husband says, "No, I've got everything I need." She asks, "What's that?" The husband replies just before they hit the wall at 90 mph, "I've got the airbag!" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A man is waiting for his wife to give birth. The doctor comes in and informs the dad that his son was born without a torso, arms or legs. The son is just a head! But the dad loves his son and raises him as well as he can, with love and compassion. After 21 years, the son is now old enough for his first drink. Dad takes him to the bar, tearfully tells the son he is proud of him and orders up the biggest, strongest drink for his boy. With all the bar patrons looking on curiously and the bartender shaking his head in disbelief, the boy takes his first sip of alcohol. Swoooop! A torso pops out! The bar is dead silent; then bursts into a whoop of joy. The father, shocked, begs his son to drink again. The patrons chant "Take another drink"! The bartender still shakes his head in dismay. Swoooop! Two arms pops out! The bar goes wild. The father, crying and wailing, begs his son to drink again. The patrons chant "Take another drink"! The bartender ignores the whole affair. By now the boy is getting tipsy, and with his new hands he reaches down, grabs his drink and guzzles the last of it. Swoooop! Two legs pop out. The bar is in chaos. The father falls to his knees and tearfully thanks God. The boy stands up on his new legs and stumbles to the left... then to the right... right through the front door, into the street, where a truck runs over him and kills him instantly. The bar falls silent. The father moans in grief. The bartender sighs and says... "He should have quit while he was a head!"
  23. QUOTE(Kalapse @ Mar 7, 2006 -> 09:50 AM) I think by Ozzie saying he thinks Anderson is good enough to be his starting CFer he is actually saying that Jerry Owens will start the regular season in CF for the Sox. Brian Anderson is not good and should retire from baseball where as Jerry Owens is the obvious choice in CF. crazyman, is that you? lol
  24. Im getting kind of an anxious feeling everytime I read about Brian Anderson hitting 2 homeruns off of Felix Hernandez. A rookie hit a couple homeruns off of another rookie, and Its the only thing anyone can ever think to say about his offense, didnt he have some great moments in the minors? Sure, Felix might be the next Santana, but he isnt right now. This better not turn out to be a Tuffy Rhodes moment in his career.
  25. QUOTE(knightni @ Mar 7, 2006 -> 05:04 AM) And Knighni with the save!
