QUOTE(ZoomSlowik @ Apr 20, 2006 -> 12:50 PM) I hope to god that they've tweaked the discipline system. It seems like no matter what happens you get a few suspensions a year, even if you're at Northwestern with a lot of intelligent, highly disciplined players and you throw the book at one of your guys early. It got to the point where i just turned them off. They never made any sense and would cripple your team. "Pierre Thomas missed breakfast at the dorms, this is unacceptable and we think he should be suspended for 4 games." The changes overall seem really solid...this game should be very solid. Trickery, momentum...key components in the real game...finally here in the video game.

QUOTE(Steve9347 @ Apr 19, 2006 -> 10:06 PM) I never thought I would say it, but they need to contract the Blackhawks badly. Give me a f***ing break. Contract an original 6 team? You must want the whole NHL to contract. LMAO.

QUOTE(Steff @ Apr 19, 2006 -> 04:31 PM) Or "Ashley..... Brian" You know, i almost put Steff...Jim in there, but thought better of it because i didn't want to offend the hooded lady. Next time i'll have to think better of that, too

Boston Cremes are ridiculously delicious

So i've had my current, kickass sig for a few years now, and i guess it's time for a new one since Dee is gone. Anyone want to make me a new one whenever you get the chance? You can use anything Illini with players that will be here next year..aka don't put james and dee on there. If you want to mix in some football, you can do that as well. Anyway, thanks in advance for whatever anyone cooks up.

So speaking of messages, here's one from Monday: "Jenny, my love for you is thicker than two days old oatmeal. Will you go to prom with me? -Jeff"

NHL Playoffs could kick-start anyone's interest, i think. Plus, this year i think it's wide open and should be hella exciting, as long as they keep making the penalty calls they did in the regular season.

OLN and NBC. I think OLN has up to 52 games. OLN has had the NHL games all year long, along with NBC on saturdays.

QUOTE(AddisonStSox @ Apr 19, 2006 -> 09:47 AM) This is the one I've been using: Whenever a Cubs fan attempts to get in a baseball scrap with me--something I don't even care to do anymore--I simply say, "Sorry, you're going to have to speak louder, I was at Game Two of the World Series last year and when Paul Konerko hit that Grand Slam, well, my hearing hasn't been the same since." That about does it. The conversation ends. Similar.... I like to use "what's that? why don't you talk into this ear, because i'm having trouble hearing with this one because it has a world series ring in it"

Baseball's a long season. You just gotta trust it.

QUOTE(Cuck the Fubs @ Apr 19, 2006 -> 08:32 AM) Maybe if Wirtz showed home games on TV, he'd sellout more, and not only when the Red Wings come. No! Don't you get it! Seeing the blackhawks at the UC is an exclusive privilege to season ticket holders! If they showed games on TV, no one would come to the games!

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Apr 18, 2006 -> 10:48 PM) The 2 worst franchises play in the same town, pretty sad (although one is the Cubs, so who gives a f*** about them). And your right Jimbo, if this team got new ownership and FO people and just got somewhat good, people would show up. A lot would. This is a sleeping giant of a hockey town, and people just want somebody who cares to support. Hell just look at how well the freaking Wolves draw, even this year when for the first time in their history (going back to 1995) they didn't make the playoffs. At least they were competitive this year, and are every year. Correct sir.

I have a sweet Nokona mitt from high school.

QUOTE(SnB @ Apr 18, 2006 -> 11:56 PM) don't kid yourself, it's not like I started it. Beat me to it

Yeah i saw it played last night as well. I was surprised ESPN created something like that for the Sox. Never expected it would be something that good. The song is also pretty sweet.

I'm gonna try my luck with a game thread

Sorry if this has been posted already. http://www.bluefoot.tv/espn1/ I think this thing is awesome.

Good luck on your test tonight Steve, i'll have a brat for you.

QUOTE(illinilaw08 @ Apr 17, 2006 -> 01:57 PM) I'll be one of those kids making the drive up to Champaign... for the second time in 4 days. I need to leave Champaign for good before I go broke from gas $$ And he talks me into going as well. Good stuff. Edit: Just realized this is the Sox 7th home game, and this will be my 4th coming up from champaign. Woops.

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Apr 17, 2006 -> 01:11 PM) Kenny, gas is expensive. There, done.

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Apr 17, 2006 -> 01:02 PM) Well, I have been to the Cell the last two days, and am debating to make it 3. The Sox fan in me says "Go you dumb asshole" but the cheap college kid says, "Gas is like 9.00, dont go." Someone should tell that to the kids who come up from Champaign.

Well, i had Rowand penciled in for 6 homers...
