QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Dec 24, 2009 -> 05:05 AM) Nice to see the Valley win the inaugural MVC-MWC challenge.

Redbirds finish up conference play 9-2, next game is next tuesday vs 11-1 Wichita State @ redbird arena. It's going to be real fun. Also tonight's(last nights technically) game was the 300th game for the redbirds at redbird arena. They are 219-81 in those 300 games.

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Dec 22, 2009 -> 01:55 PM) I do. I'd rather have Javy then Huges or Joba. Javy is useless when it counts so no way they pass us.

Well after reading this thread I've realized how OCD I am I.. -The money in the wallet all in order presidents facing same way and up. -Always sleep with the door closed -Always check my pockets for wallet, keys, phone. Which I guess is nice because I've never lost any of them ever. I also have the wallet in the back right, keys front right, and phone front left always. I hate when I forget one of them at my house when I leave, and then get alarmed every time I check for a few seconds until I realize I forgot to bring it with me. -Shower every morning when I wake up, even if I'm going to be doing yard work all day. -Always press the electric keypad lock 4 or 5 times when locking my car. I used to be crazy about door locking I'd check to see if something was locked even if I just did it 2 minutes ago and knew it was locked. For some reason though I stopped doing that. I'm assuming I do a lot more things that I don't realize I do until someone points them out.

I thought the amount of people who still use an N64 would be higher, definitely still use mine as much if not more then my ps3.

Wichita State beats Texas Tech. ITS A MIRACLE THE VALLEY HAS NO RIGHT WINNING THIS GAME!!! MAN I CAN'T BELIEVE IT OUR TOP TEAMS CANT EVEN HANG WITH THE s***TY BIG TEN TEAMS!!! Valley

QUOTE (fathom @ Dec 19, 2009 -> 08:32 PM) What happened? SIU won by 2 on some amazing comeback I think I don't know how big, but I remember looking at the score and SIU was down fairly big.

QUOTE (kjshoe04 @ Dec 19, 2009 -> 07:26 PM) Kellen Thornton 2-2 from beyond the arc. Nice to see him getting some shots to fall. I was getting sick of watching them stand around and shoot contested threes all game and I think Jank was too. I didn't watch the game but hopefully we stepped up our transition defense. That's where Niagara and Ohio killed us.

QUOTE (kjshoe04 @ Dec 19, 2009 -> 07:12 PM) Seriously this win was huge to get some confidence back before conference play. We shot 8 3 pointers too so hopefully we're getting away from the shoot the 3 all day and hope good things happen mentality.

QUOTE (kjshoe04 @ Dec 19, 2009 -> 07:10 PM) The greatest upset of all time just happened. ISU just beat a team that beat Illinois. OMG!!!! how could this happen. ISU 73 Utah 63 at Utah. It's a miracle.

ISU 73 Utah 63. Good bounce back game after two bad loses.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Dec 19, 2009 -> 04:14 PM) Im just funnin with you kev. SIU has lost to ISU I believe 3 out of their last 4 or maybe more than that. The valley's going to be fun this year with Missouri State, Wichita, UNI, ISU, and SIU.

QUOTE (Ranger @ Dec 18, 2009 -> 01:51 PM) Why? Why is it a bad thing for him to publicly say he likes the players he has? What possible harm can that cause? I can't think of one real, good reason he shouldn't say that. Once again, I think this is a case of people unnecessarily freaking out over something Ozzie says. I'm certain they both would like to have another hitter at this point, but it doesn't mean they'll find one. And I think the last thing you should want is for them to go into the season and say publicly, "this team we have is ok, but we wish we could've gotten another hitter." Not exactly the best way to set the tone of confidence in your club to start the year. It looks to me like they're just setting this up in case it doesn't happen. And I think they should at least say they believe in their team. Thank you for putting what I was thinking into words.

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Dec 19, 2009 -> 02:26 PM) Clemson and Vandy? Ok then... I was referring to SIU since Kyle is an SIU fan. I've already said in this thread that U of I is better then ISU, and I've done it multiple times.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Dec 19, 2009 -> 07:42 AM) http://sports.espn.go.com/chicago/columns/...&id=4755711 I like the part where once again it wasn't as ISU fan who said U of I was 5th best in the state, or even posted these rankings when they were 5th best. Everyone keeps doing things like this and sarcastically making fun of us for being ridiculous fanboys but in reality we haven't said anything out of line in this thread. Congrats on being ahead of us, both of us haven't beaten a good team yet so we can't really say whose better yet until conference play starts. edit: I'm referring to SIU being ahead of us in the last sentence.

QUOTE (Felix @ Dec 19, 2009 -> 11:40 AM) Of course ESPN would say that. They're just promoting the big schools because it makes their company more money. Everyone and their mother knows that ISU is the best Illinois team and always will be. Have you seen Osiris play? He's the best player in the nation. I love how you continue to do that, and yet I've posted nothing close to this. I said ISU could beat U of I 25% of the time, and that the top 2-3 valley teams could hang with the 6-8 B10 teams. Yeah I'm out of line with both of those and just a stupid fanboy. ISU has hit a two game rough patch, it happens you learn from it and hopefully emerge better. Its not like Minnesota didn't lose to Portland though which isn't solid mid-major in your guys book though because they lost 3 times.

QUOTE (Sonik22 @ Dec 19, 2009 -> 12:32 AM) If I could I would, but I can't operate on no sleep so that's not happening for me haha Yeah my last day of finals this semester not last thursday but the one before I had a 7:50am final and 1pm final. I woke up Wednesday morning at 8am for another final and did not sleep until Thursday night at 9pm. It was rough but I managed to ace both finals, and drive myself home safely so I guess I can operate on no sleep haha

QUOTE (Sonik22 @ Dec 18, 2009 -> 12:12 AM) Statistics final at 750 am, this will officially the earliest I've been up since the last day of high school, yippee this is gonna suck For every 7:50am final I've had in college so far(I think 3) I've just stayed up all night studying. No point in going to sleep until after the final I think.

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Dec 16, 2009 -> 09:22 AM) Mascot Dunk Attempt Fail Did they honestly think that was going to work? haha

Cliff Lee just showed the Phillies that hes an absolute stud, and most importantly he did it when it counted. Roy Halladay has yet to do so, then again he's never had the chance. I don't get it.

QUOTE (ScottyDo @ Dec 14, 2009 -> 03:10 PM) How did they neglect to mention Paulie's grannie in the world series? I'm pretty sure that's what all of us will remember most highly over his career. At least, I will. That was my favorite moment in sports history (Hester's opening return in the SB is a close second, though) At least the picture is of that slam.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Dec 14, 2009 -> 02:00 AM) GVSU lost the National Championship this Saturday to NW Missouri State. Heartbreaking loss. After falling down 21-0 at half, they came back to within 23-20 but fell short and lost 30-23. Amazing game and an incredible 2nd half. I was privileged to have been able to attend the game this weekend down in Florence, Alabama. An amazing experience and one I'll never forget despite the loss. The big new around here now is that our head coach Chuck Martin might be recruited to go to Notre Dame to be BK's Defensive Coordinator. He was asked by BK to be his DC at CMU and at Cincy but Chuck turned it down both times. He said he wouldn't turn it down this time though, and apparently he and Kelly had a talk Saturday night. We'll find out soon what happens. Hiring the GVSU coach to be the defensive coordinator would infuriate a lot of people, since everyone is looking at who Kelly hires for that. I don't think i'd mind though. What are your views on him, is he a good defensive minded coach?

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Dec 14, 2009 -> 01:14 AM) I also have a request. How about a new offseason banner? Ya left handed batting alexei is getting old haha
