  1. I wouldn't say "failed to do s***" in the big dance. We made the sweet sixteen and got beat by the runner up Duke in a closer-than-the-score-indicated game. I wouldn't say we 'choked' or anything. It was a solid season last year Mike Davis went to the final four because his team was super talented, in my opinion. I don't like him as a coach and i know many IU fans don't either. Calling the Illini mediocre is an ignorant statement looking at the past few years. Don't be one of those fans. MSU is classy, sure, but Illini is one of if not the best program in the big ten as of late.
  2. Can't you just root for a Sox win? Unbelievable
  3. This stacks up to be a huge win or a really emotionally draining loss
  4. Thank God Esteban won't be coming back out to pitch
  5. IN CASE NO ONE GETS THAT TIE GAME!!!!!!!
  6. BASE HIT, 2 RUNS SCORE, HARRIS SCORES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11
  7. Ya, good call 2 foul balls 2-2 count
  8. HARRIS PINCH HITS???????????????????? COME ON Edit: Nevermind that comment
  9. Over 27,000 in attendance...all things considered, that's impressive
  10. Uribe's season is quickly turning into a pumpkin
  11. That would be Chemistry, and the explanation is as follows: Blue sky: short explanation Blue light gets scattered (spread) around much more than all the other colors from the sun, causing the sky to appear blue. Blue sky: a more detailed explanation Light is made up of electromagnetic waves. The distance between 2 crests in this wave is called the wavelength. White light contains all the colors of the rainbow. The amount of light scattered for any given colour depends on the wavelength of that colour. All the colors in white light have different wavelengths. Red light has the longest wavelength. The wavelength of blue light is about half that of red light. This difference in wavelength causes blue light to be scattered nearly ten times more than red light. Lord Rayleigh studied this phenomena in detail. It is caused the Tyndall effect or Rayleigh scattering. Lord Rayleigh also calculated that even without smoke and dust in the atmosphere, the oxygen and nitrogen molecules would still cause the sky to appear blue because of scattering. When blue light waves try to go straight through an oxygen and nitrogen molecules, its light is scattered in all directions because of this collision. This scattered blue light is what makes the sky blue. All other colors (with longer wavelengths than blue light) are scattered too. Blue light's short wavelength causes it to be scattered the most. (The shorther the wavelength of the color, the more that color gets scattered by the atmosphere) Actually, violet has the shortest wavelength of all colors. Violet is scattered even more than blue light. However, our eyes are much more sensitive to see blue than violet, therefore we see the sky as blue. Very little visible light is absorbed by the atmosphere. Blue sky: summary Blue light's short wavelength causes it to get scattered around 10 times more by oxygen and nitrogen molecules than the longer wavelengths (like red) of the other colors visible to us. The blue in the sky we see is scattered blue light.
  12. Konerko leads off with a double Trying not to get hopes up
  13. timo has been doing quite well lately. everyone is always yelling to get a guy out of the lineup...um, we only have so many guys on this team. timo is better than gload/harris out there as far as i'm concerned
  14. This game turns quite ugly yet again Base hit, 7-5
  15. Injured. Check out some other threads in pale hose forum.
  16. I'll cue it up Na na na na, na na na na.........
  17. The Canes were BAD this year....not Hawks bad, but bad
  18. And i agreed with it 100%, and i'm a die hard Hawks fan.
