IlliniKrush

Boucher's brutal turnover responsible for one goal, Smolinski's brutal turnover responsible for another. Though we did catch a break on the no goal call, there was clearly no whistle and that puck was in the net. This game is pissing me off to no end, they are playing stupid hockey.

Ya, but at least they should both be back real soon...we've been waiting for this one forever it seems

It no longer exists

Havlat's back tonight, woooooooooooooo

Nah, mid majors aren't important.

Illini won, way to include that in your recap jackass.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Dec 9, 2006 -> 01:40 AM) 4 of us. These houses are brand new and absolutely awesome. I'm pumped. Does the house come with comcast?

I already have your picks...every upset...just give me the confidence points on each.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Dec 9, 2006 -> 02:00 AM) WHOOO Iowa...at least I got bragging rights over Heads. Iowa wins in football and basketball and will probably suck in both but at least we got those wins. That said I'm calling the Longhorns upset right here and right now in the bowl game and I still say Iowa has a chance to back its way in the tourney because we are developing some serious talent. Justin? Is that you Justin? Iowa over Texas? LOL. Let me know if you want to make that game 'interesting.'

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Dec 8, 2006 -> 09:02 PM) Marquette vs. Wisconsin tomorrow. You guys with no allegiance to either team better be cheering for the Eagles... (I'm looking specifically at the guys I shared a hotel room on a certain Cincy trip) Problem is steve nor I will see any of the game probably, as we'll be at the UC watching Illinois/UIC.

1 year, 16 mil

Bonds signed with SF. Thank God /End thread.

I know, i just wish it didn't have to create such a clusterf*** for teams that have bowl games to play and either have to deal with an interim coach or a coach who's mind is elsewhere. Usually results in a bad bowl performance.

It'd be nice if we could score in a f***ing shootout. 1 for 6, damn

I hate the fact that coaches take jobs before the bowl season is over (those with bowls at least). I wish all this stuff could wait til after the season is over.

So with Tommie Harris' knee injury, he's also got a really bad hamstring injury that has him out for Monday, and possibly the rest of the year. He's going to Texas to see a specialist. Just had an update on the score with sound from Lovie.

According to the blackhawks website, he will NOT play tonight.

Per Tupper's blog: Get well soon Rich

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Dec 7, 2006 -> 12:05 AM) Funny, for the past 6 months all I've read on this board is that Freddie sux. So, why would it surprise you guys that we didn't get sh*t for him? Sucks with a world series standard on the line...but doesn't suck compared to the rest of the league's starters.

Well if KW is indeed serious about this overhaul (call it rebuliding if you want, whatever), he's either going to be correct, or every one of us on this board will be able to purchase seats behind the dugouts come 2009, if we wish. I fear the 14,000 crowd. Yeah, this could just be posturing, but if it isn't, and we're wrong...we're going to lose all the momentum we've built up with this attempt at having a dynasty, stealing fans in this city, etc. I realize you can't just throw money at ever player you have and resign them...but I can't say the article made me feel all warm inside.

QUOTE(quickman @ Dec 6, 2006 -> 11:25 PM) Ok use those stats. take last years. Again use what you want but he still has not proven himself. Again, I wouldn't mind him being a fifth starter if we would have gotten a bit more in return to fill the other holes we have. I am not argueing Mcarthy, I am argueing the trade. Funny 9-10ths of the people here hate this trade but it seems as if people take exception with my comments. I just have seen too many people overrating Garcia. And, i'm somewhat banking on the 10 mil/prospects being used to do something else. Even if they aren't used to do that at all, replacing Garcia in McCarthy isn't a big deal IMO.

QUOTE(quickman @ Dec 6, 2006 -> 11:14 PM) Your right, lets trade dye and go with sweeney. maybe he can hit 40 hrs for us next year. My point is that garcia has a proven track record and Mcarthy does not, neither does the crap we got in return. Love Mcarthy all you want but he has proven nothing. Can we stop using number of wins to evaluate pitchers? Perhaps we can use more telling stats, like WHIP, ERA, etc. Or salary.

Someone explain how this makes any sense, because i'm not seeing it:

Randle might play a bit on Saturday
