QUOTE (Jake @ Feb 2, 2013 -> 09:07 AM) Yeah, I'd say we won't see Bolland for a while. Our only hope is that he was pissed from the contact, but I'm not even sure that there was any. It was tough to see live, but if you see a replay, he gets hit with a one handed slash on the ankle.

What a waste of the OT PP. Way too many neutral zone turnovers tonight. When they force you to dump it, get it deep. Bolland's reaction tells me he broke an ankle bone on the slash.

Time to interrupt this nonsense with a nonsense article about eliminating FG kickers: http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/8898684/...field-goals-nfl

Voted.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jan 29, 2013 -> 07:50 PM) Watching Illinois is painful. Run down, jack a three, repeat. Agreed.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jan 29, 2013 -> 10:12 AM) With 100% confidence, I can say that Frank Thomas was. If it turned out that he used steroids, I would never follow baseball again. You can't be 100% confident about something like that, you don't know, no one but him does. I don't think he did either, but I can't blame a person for being suspicious about ANYONE during that entire era.

Hopefully the wife doesn't read Soxtalk.

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Jan 28, 2013 -> 02:11 AM) I wish we had a mandatory nutrition class in high school. That's a great idea. The other mandatory class should be some sort of personal finance class. Teaching the basics of bank accounts, running a budget, paying bills, retirement accounts, etc.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Jan 27, 2013 -> 06:42 PM) I honestly wouldn't care if no one from this roster was back next year except for Egwu and Abrams. We need roster turnover badly. There is legitimately one player on Illinois' entire roster that can dribble a basketball. Paul has gotten his pocket picked a ton lately. It will get there, just going to take longer than we'd like. Hopefully the freshman get a ton of minutes next year.

QUOTE (Rex Hudler @ Jan 27, 2013 -> 01:36 PM) Halfway decent game on CBS right now. I'll just say MSU is shooting much better than I thought they would, especially from 3. Still, if IU hits FT's the rest of the way they should win. Unfortunately this year, that's far from a guarantee. EDIT: All things being equal, I think IU should win this game just based on not having ugly-assed shoes! The candy stripe pants are worse.

QUOTE (Brian @ Jan 27, 2013 -> 08:28 AM) Don't get any ideas, Illini, like them there Buckeyes did. We have plenty of ideas, I'm just not sure we can do anything with them. But maybe it's time for a BP3 30+ game.

Side note, CSN please fix your road audio so Pay and Eddie don't sound like they are in a phone booth.

QUOTE (zenryan @ Jan 26, 2013 -> 03:00 PM) How is it even possible to score 4 points in 20 minutes and miss 29 straight shots? Pick 5 people in this thread and we would have put together a better half.

After upsetting Louisville earlier in the week, Villanova takes out Syracuse today in OT. Didn't realize Foye and Ray had eligibility left.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jan 25, 2013 -> 05:34 PM) I had a girl give me one back when I was about 19 or so, im sure she was expecting one in return. You can hold on to my HS ring I'll never wear, have fun. Sidebar, I didn't want a HS ring, Mom insisted I get one (parents paid for it said I still don't want to waste your money), told her I'd never do anything with it, and haven't. In a box somewhere. What the f*** is the point of a HS ring? I'd say at least half my class got one. How ridiculous.

Haven't heard much out of the Hickory camp. Probably still crying with Swarbrick since Te'o was such a victim.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Jan 25, 2013 -> 04:43 PM) Oh I know. Ive grown up around the nonsense that is showing off fancy jewelry as a status symbol. Im not even sure many people could tell the difference between cubic zirconia and diamonds with the naked eye. Ironically cz is almost always colorless. Back in the days of my youth I had a long term gf who wanted a "promise ring". I got her cz, boy did I never hear the end of that. Promise ring might be the dumbest thing ever. Should have tipped you off to run the other way.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Jan 25, 2013 -> 03:21 PM) There's obviously been a lot of good tweets abou teo since this whole ordeal got started but I just heard this one and it made me laugh..."how low do you think Teo's awareness rating will be in Madden?" That's solid

QUOTE (He_Gawn @ Jan 25, 2013 -> 01:27 PM) Nahhh, that won't happen. I think UM will fall prior to the game anyways. Wouldn't be so sure. Anyway, I don't think they'll lose at home to NW, so you're saying Sunday. Don't see it, but that'd be great as we'd be back in line to make the tournament. I think we'll have to make a lot of 3's, which we haven't been good at lately, to even have a shot.

QUOTE (farmteam @ Jan 25, 2013 -> 12:14 PM) That's what I'm saying, I don't know what "comment after comment" you're really talking about here. It hasn't been mentioned that much. In general, he's pretty clear in not liking Wisconsin, you're pretty clear in not liking Crean. Not a big deal. No reason to dilute the NCAA thread with Indiana-Wisconsin squabbles, let's go back to laughing at Duke for losing by 27 the other night. Or talking about whether Illinois will shock the world and beat Michigan. I actually want Michigan to win, because then they'll be #1 for College Gameday in Bloomington next Saturday. Otherwise I'd want Illinois to win. But them being #1 might cause idiots to rush the floor with a W.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jan 24, 2013 -> 11:24 PM) This Center Ice free preview is so awesome. Crazy ending to regulation in Edmonton. Love me some West Coast. Litter the ice, tie it anyway.

Would have been over in 60 without Lehtonen.

Figure out which few of the 4 C's you really want to focus on, and which one you're not as concerned about. Trying to have the best of all 4 is tough and expensive.

QUOTE (Brian @ Jan 23, 2013 -> 07:41 PM) So it could come down to Sunday again for Michigan in Champaign to be #1. Upset cityyyyyyyyy
