Are you implying Paula Abdul was on 'roids?

QUOTE(Flash Tizzle @ Mar 1, 2006 -> 09:49 AM) I can understand Americans not knowing all five. I couldn't recall 'petition for redress of grievances.' It's equally as understandable to recognize popular culture figures over constitutional rights. Most come across The Simposons more than the discussion of the 1st Amendment. But for 20% of Americans (surveyed) to believe the right to own a pet is a right established within our constitution is pathetic. I couldn't name "petition for redress of grievances" either, but the other four i would think most people would know...apparently they don't know em though.

Here's my token post in this thread

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Feb 28, 2006 -> 10:50 PM) How do you define a 'pause' in play at a baseball game? Is the time between pitches considered a pause? If I'm sitting in the middle of an aisle and I have to get up to go drain, I could decide to start moving between pitches, but I'll probably still be trying to make my way out of that aisle during the next pitch or two. So, I'll still be blocking someone's view. Standing when everyone else is sitting is just wrong. No. Between batters/innings, where you can get out without causing someone to miss actual action.

Weird, a new forum now...bracket banter. Sweet.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan99 @ Feb 28, 2006 -> 09:57 PM) You guys do realize the game isn't over yet, right? It's over

Great road game boys, way to get it done.

We all know it was an intentional foul. Oh well.

That block on pruitt is a HUGE turning point

Rule #2: Don't come back to your seat in the middle of the game. I think it's OK to stand after a great play...however i think it's also fine to stand when the pitcher has 2 outs, 2 strikes, and getting out of a jam, etc. Not necessarily always AFTER something happens.

Good ending to the half, a lead is a huge positive the way that half went...you'd think Minne would be up.

Let's do this Illini...at Minnesota on ESPN right now.

Unfortunate for Villanova because he really could have helped them in the tournament. Probly a wise decision. I don't know how much he could have even contributed at this point...i mean how healthy would he be? What percentage?

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Feb 28, 2006 -> 12:03 AM) It's become my guarantee, I'll even put it in my sig. Lets see if I'm Joe Naimath or Dmitry Young. ...or if you end up with the likes of SnB and Jason

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Feb 27, 2006 -> 11:29 PM) If Krush gives me my 20 bucks back then I'm down. Seriously, if I had any money I'd be down for that but poor college kid and so on. I'm up for a sig bet if you'd like? It's hard to give you money that i don't even have yet And i'd have to see who the 7 is in Gonzaga's bracket. I can't see them going further than the sweet 16...but i don't guarantee they lose first weekend like the Saluki over here does.

QUOTE(Rex Hudler @ Feb 27, 2006 -> 11:17 PM) You said they didn't play anybody. I just corrected you on that. The rest is unrelated. Yeah, fair point, and i know they can't control conference, but it doesn't mean they don't play those teams. I just am pissed about the Gonzaga hype that has really gotten going with all these W's against nobody...i guess that's what i'm referring to more than their non conference schedule. I should have been more specific.

QUOTE(Rex Hudler @ Feb 27, 2006 -> 11:08 PM) Maryland Michigan State UConn Washington Oklahoma State Virginia Memphis St. Joseph's Stanford I'd call that someone. In fact, I'd call it pretty damned impressive. They can't control their conference schedule, but they CAN control their out of conference schedule and it looks to me as if they have done that about as good as anyone. Well their conference is terrible. Also, they played 5 teams when they were ranked and lost to 3 of them. And yeah, how many of these teams will make the tourney? Gonzaga can't defend anyone, they are so overrated it's ridiculous.
