QUOTE(SnB @ Nov 17, 2005 -> 07:16 PM) i really don't have too much faith in mcbride staying a starter for too long. Yes, he has a ton of experience, but i'm not too sure of how good he actually is. I'm more worried about his feet problems, not how good he is

Illinois starting lineup has been announced: Brown McBride Randle Pruitt Augustine Wouldn't be surprised to see Smith get some starts eventually.

I'll miss his hair

QUOTE(SnB @ Nov 17, 2005 -> 12:16 PM) well maybe if you'd stop calling him in the middle of a frat party, he wouldn't have to check up on you like that "WHAT???...I CAN'T HEAR YOU AT ALL....I'M AT THE HOUSE!!!!....YOU SHOULD COME TO THE HOUSE TOO MAN!!!!....ALRIGHT MAN PEACE OUT"

QUOTE(redandwhite @ Nov 17, 2005 -> 09:06 AM) that game was awesome. i thought i was the only one who watched OLN's broadcast, and it really started to bother me that the NHL was going to be playing second fiddle to even real world re-runs. come on hockey fans. We're here, we're here...we're hard to find but we do exist What have you guys thought of OLN's coverage? Honestly, it's better than i thought it would be - i had low expectations going in. They seem to have a nice picture, and i love emrick, but that's just me. Also, during the first 1-2 games they covered, the main camera angle was zoomed in way too far and they had trouble following the play sometimes. I think now that these OLN camera guys have some experience following hockey it's been a better broadcast. I'm glad i can get 2 games a week outside of the Hawks right now.

I'll be home from Sun Dec 18 til about Sun Jan 15. 21st i definitely can't go, i'll be in St Louis for the Busch Braggin' Rights game. I'll let you know about the 23rd...i should be good to go though if you want to grab em.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Nov 16, 2005 -> 08:53 PM) Are we going to meet up for a game this year? I've got tix to about six-seven more games this year (already), and there's always the student discount. Maybe the Pens game, or is it already sold out? A Wings game would be ideal, but I dunno about the ticket availability. BTW -- I think I've seen as many Pens game on Centre Ice as Hawks games. I can watch Crosby play all day... Sure thing, Keith. Over Christmas break i'll be at a lot of games as i won't have much else to do. 2 years ago i actually went to every single game (8-9 games) over break, i was that bored. I'll also be taking some trips up with some hockey guys on friday and sunday nights for games - they have a lot of home games in january and march. I just got out to my first game last Friday vs the Kings. $8 tickets are for sure money. I have Pens tickets already. I don't know if it's sold out or not though. Let's try to set something up over break, if not a few games. And yeah, i wish i had center ice, but that's not really possible right now in Champaign. Thank God i at least have OLN on the sports package.

I didn't catch that game yesterday because i had class and practice, but i did see the highlights. Ovechkin's backhand was nasty. You're right, he's the front-runner right now. But you can't go wrong with Ovechkin or Crosby. I'm loving the NHL right now - at least what i can see of it with OLN and some highlights. The young guns are taking over, i love it.

I watched the entire game and came away very satisfied. Crosby is just a stud, he had so many sweet passes tonight. As soon as he got the breakway in overtime i picked up the remote to change the channel. Game set match.

I think this fact - a team's ranking when you beat them - is overlooked far too often.

Steve, we are a dying breed

I pity those who don't respect the Chief.

Anyone see the highlights of the Pittsburgh/New York Islanders shootout? It went to the 6th round of sudden death before the Islanders won it. In the first 5 rounds of sudden death, no goals were scored. http://sports.espn.go.com/nhl/recap?gameId=251114016

What a brutal INT

All i meant was that you are in the midwest, which is big ten country...not necessarily big 12 country

great.

The link takes me to a site to buy thomas kinkade paintings....?

QUOTE(Jimbo's Drinker @ Nov 14, 2005 -> 10:26 PM) Good luck with Dee trying to run the point. Good one? And Greasy no it won't turn into that Bracey style offense...it's just going to take a while before we can run motion on every single play. What you will see early on is more of a pounding inside to Augie, Pruitt, etc....let them work for some points.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Nov 14, 2005 -> 09:57 PM) Didn't used to be. I'm pulling for Kansas State this weekend. I absolutely despise how the Big Ten is on nearly every football channel on Saturday mornings. 1. Do you know where you live? 2. Big Ten games eat up that 11:00 kickoff time.

LMAO...awesome

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Nov 13, 2005 -> 01:38 PM) And both TD's to guys I started this week, Stokely and Clark! Really, though, I'm in a rut with my RBs. I started Benson this week, that looked like a good move, then he screws up his knee (I'm guessing torn ACL). I have Portis, he's somewhat reliable, but after that -- I have Rudi Johnson and Cadillac Williams. Williams is playing injured and isn't getting the bulk of the carries, and Johnson isn't doing a whole lot this year (seemingly). And you lost...to me

YOU CAN WATCH THE DUKIES TONIGHT BABY!!!! /end vitale voice

Since i have a girlfriend now this Thanksgiving will be a little different than years past, where i just go to the in-laws for the duration of the day. We're planning on attending both, or as she calls it, "pulling the old married couple" routine.

Happy Bday!
