QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Feb 27, 2006 -> 10:12 PM) Oklahoma is gay. Gonzaga is gay

At OSU no way that last foul is called

OU wins on 2 free throws with .6 left after being fouled pretty far from the basket.

ARE YOU SERIOUS

Freaking crazy!

Crazy ending in OSU/Okla right now

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Feb 27, 2006 -> 10:06 PM) Anyone just see the three that this kid from OK-State hit? Talk about range. Yeah i'm watching.

QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ Feb 27, 2006 -> 10:05 PM) They have no reason to drop yet though; they'll be exposed in the tourney, if that's te case. I'm not saying they're good, but they've done something that few other teams have done this year: avoid losing. No one else deserves to be ranked over them. They also don't play anyone...

Zags hit a 3 with .9 left. They barely get by another POS opponent. At home.

Tied 10 secs left, Zags ball.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Feb 27, 2006 -> 09:31 PM) It's just throwing me off, I can't handle it, I think he's either krush or snb. To much damn orange. Never enough orange!!!

Gonzaga tied with San Francisco with a minute left.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Feb 27, 2006 -> 07:39 PM) My 1st experience was really similar. As your eyes slowly go bad you really don't notice it. Especially cause when I first needed them I was like 20/60 or so. Just enough to not pass my drivers license eye exam (thats when I found out). I noticed when I first put my contacts in (I got contacts from the get go). Well it took me forever to adjust to getting the damn things in for the first week or so. But when I was driving back home with my dad I could see everything. I never realized what I should have been able to see and it was sweet. I definately remember my first bball practice after getting them and I was stunned at how much better I picked up the ball. Not that it really mattered since I only had like 2 ab's my entire high school career (after hurting my arm and eventually quitting the team, lol). Since than the only doctors appointment I make to on time and every year or so (since my vision is starting to finally slow down I won't have to do that soon enough) was my eye appointment cause I love getting the proper prescription so you can see super clear. Sadly I have the best vision in my family. I thought I was an enigma cause the rest of my family all had had glasses by 1st grade yet I went till high school somehow. I know what you mean. On the way home, i was like "I didn't know you were supposed to be able to read street signs from further than 5 feet away," etc. It almost felt like a different world for a while.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Feb 27, 2006 -> 08:02 PM) ^^^ Also, when I was in town for soxfest my dad took me to some place called "due's" I believe? First time I ever had it and it was absolutely delicious. Yup, right by Uno. I think they have the same ownership/are the same place essentially or something like that.

Hockey and glasses don't mix. And i certainly can't wear neither contacts or glasses. But glasses are a pain in the ass when you are constantly getting knocked around, not to mention they fog up sometimes. I've only done it twice i think, but it was a huge pain in the ass.

Hey hey, another unnecessary floor rush.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Feb 27, 2006 -> 04:03 PM) Ya...every once in a while I'll sleep with mine in. If they bothered me like contacts bother some people I'd probably for sure get the procedure, but honestly, when my contacts are in I don't even know it. Its just the minute or so a day between popping them in and taking them out. Of course I am blind as a bat (6.00 or so in each eye in terms of perscription). Worse part was 20/20 up until I was 16. I'm at 3.75 for both eyes. So i'm not totally blind, but i can't watch tv or see much of anything without contacts. I use my glasses at night before i go to bed and for a bit when i wake up. I honestly don't know my contacts are in either, they don't bother me much at all. The best part about getting contacts was the first time i wore them. It was freshman year during spring break. I went to baseball practice and was like "holy s***, you can see the seams on a baseball." Well i actually went like 7-8 in the next doubleheader we had. I had no idea my vision wasn't up to snuff before that.

37-30 at half, WV has gone 9-22 from three point range

QUOTE(jackie hayes @ Feb 27, 2006 -> 05:30 PM) No, you never said anything about other peoples' opinions. People clapping for Frank is indeed ignoring what he did, for the moment, and clapping for him. Certainly they aren't applauding what he did right now. They are being blind to what he said at that time, and instead applauding him for his accomplishments on the field. It's simple terminology. What a dumb argument this is.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Feb 27, 2006 -> 05:25 PM) Fair enough. I can end on that, and respect that. BTW -- I'm not headbutting my keyboard. I may punch lockers when certain people get traded, but I don't headbutt. I can end on that too. We just don't understand the religious support (he took the high road, etc) of Frank at times. That's why we spoke out.

QUOTE(KevHead0881 @ Feb 27, 2006 -> 05:26 PM) Believe me, I understand completely why Kenny would be pissed. Still shouldn't have taken it to the public. The thing is, the debate shouldn't be whether Kenny's is speaking the truth or not. I'm sure Kenny's got some good reasons. The problem is that he should have kept it in-house, and there shouldn't be much debating about that. For the record, if you forced me to pick sides, I'd choose Kenny's, mostly cause I've never been a big fan of Frank's attitude. But there is no reason to pick sides, and the fact of the matter is, both were completely out of line, and both look bad. Arguing who looks worse, or who is the bigger ass seems pretty stupid. It's hard to go in-house when Frank goes public with everything.

QUOTE(jackie hayes @ Feb 27, 2006 -> 05:20 PM) Your opinion was about other peoples' opinions, and you can't back it up, and you show that you're clueless about how I'm thinking. So yes, if you tell me how I'm thinking about something, and you're completely wrong, that qualifies as a dumb opinion. I support the Sox over any one player. But that doesn't mean I have to support any idiot statement about a former player, just because it comes from somebody currently in the Sox organization. If some scout gave a press report about Aaron Rowand strangling stray puppies, he'd better have something to back that up. My opinion was about my opinion. I never said jackie hayes thinks X. I have no idea what you are even saying at this point. I don't have to support an idiot statement BY a former player, either. I bet what Kenny said is just all made-up, too. Surely we've never heard bad things about Frank.

QUOTE(KevHead0881 @ Feb 27, 2006 -> 05:17 PM) The funny thing is that I think most of us agree on this. Even aboz. I think all this bickering isn't so much about who's at fault as much as its about who's more at fault. Kinda stupid if you ask me. I haven't said Kenny is 100% correct in this. I mean he went off yesterday, but at some point you have to understand the man. I mean, there has to be a breaking point somewhere. Frank just manged to get him there over time.

QUOTE(Jordan4life_2006 @ Feb 27, 2006 -> 05:13 PM) I can agree with that. Although I'm glad Frank didn't resort to taking personal shots back at Kenny. He could've easily done so. Well one way or another, i think all of us can agree that this should end so it doesn't somehow affect the white sox, no matter what we think of frank. So i'm glad he didn't respond this time, but that doesn't put a halo over his head.

QUOTE(aboz56 @ Feb 27, 2006 -> 05:09 PM) What I would like to know is how people can defend anything Frank has said over the past month and then just totally say KW was wrong in everything he said. Frank let this continue by opening his mouth time and time again until there was a breaking point. When asked time and time again about Frank at Soxfest, KW had nothing but nice things to say. Now that KW basically buried him (put in an urn according to Wilbon) Frank wants to take the high road. He didn't take the high road. The high road would have been shutting his mouth upon leaving the team. This is a completely logical and sensible approach to the whole thing. Ding Ding
