Lake Zurich vs. St. Rita for the 7a final!

I'm so pumped for this game it's unbelievable! I'm excited for a good game but i feel Ohio State leaves no doubt: Ohio State 28 - Michigan 16 Let's go Bucks!

I hate Kansas sooooooo much! I'm so happy they lost! Bill Self is a Tool and will always be a Tool.

I laugh at the stuff Dane Cook does but i'm starting to not like some of his jokes. Comedians everybody should check out are Mitch Hedburg R.I.P., Brian Reagan, Dmitri Martin, and Jim Gaffigan. All of them >>>>>>>>>Dane Cook

Lake Zurich 24- Rockford-Boylan 20! Final 4 baby! But there is bad news one of our defence's best players is in the hospital right now from a broken rib and a pierced lung so pray for him! His name is Kyle Skarb and he's a 2-star prospect that has commited to NIU so pray for him.

Why didn't anybody listen to me when I said Lake Zurich was for real! I go to school with these guys and watch them play every weekend, we can win state! We should have beat libertyville but our kicker (fellow junior) blew every chance! I don't want to get ahead of myself though because Boylan-Rockford is a tough team so we'll see when that game is over.

I love cats so much! Cats>>>>>>>>>>>Dogs I have 2 and im gonna miss them when i go to college in a few years.

well my life is ruined knowing that one of their sons has the same birthday as me

Lake Zurich represent! We are way to talented this year not to take this to state, but we should be dangrous next year also cause my junior class is stacked!

The tigers make me jealous b/c they clinched the DS at home and the pennant at home! F them!

The Valley is looking pretty good this year with Wichita State, Creighton, Northern Iowa, and SIU. Looking like we will see 4-5 teams in the tourney again. Its going to be a tough year for SIU to win the conference but I think we can do it again! Go Dawgs!

Nice to see the Hawks fight back! 3-2 Hawks at 1st int. after going down 2-0

I hope im not the only one pumped for hockey! I made a promise to myself to follow the Hawks more this year and im ready for tonights game. I'm hoping that we can prove the "experts" wrong and somehow make it into the playoffs because i feel we are underrated. How They'll Finish: Western Conference Rank Team 1 Ducks Anaheim Ducks* Life in the O.C. got even sunnier in July when superstar defenseman Chris Pronger was acquired in a trade with Edmonton that unites him with another Norris Trophy winner, Scott Niedermayer. By adding Pronger to his current team, GM Brian Burke now has everything in place for the Ducks to win the Cup. 2 Sharks San Jose Sharks* After a disheartening loss to the Oilers in last season's playoffs, San Jose brought in free-agent center Curtis Brown and winger Mike Grier, a defensive specialist, to take critical face-offs and to help kill penalties. They join a club that has great depth on defense -- and very high expectations. 3 Flames Calgary Flames* Jim Playfair is more tactful than Darryl Sutter, who frequently offered subtle criticisms of Jarome Iginla after losses. But don't expect the new coach to stray from Sutter's defense-first strategy, not even with Alex Tanguay in the fold. 4 Predators Nashville Predators* After owner Craig Leipold opened his checkbook this summer and increased the Predators' payroll by about 30 percent over last season's, Nashville is finally poised to pass Detroit and lay claim to being the strongboy in the NHL's weakest division. 5 Red Wings Detroit Red Wings* The last time the Red Wings started a season without Steve Yzerman was 1983-84. While the Red Wings will rely on experience to keep opponents from scoring, they'll count on fresher legs to put the puck in the net at the other end. This is a powerful team, and the win-at-all-costs attitude embodied by Yzerman remains. 6 Stars Dallas Stars* Goalie Marty Turco's disappointing performance in the playoffs -- the heavily favored Stars were knocked out by the Avalanche in the first round in each of the last two seasons -- has exhausted the patience of coach Dave Tippett. "I put trust in a lot of [veterans], and the results haven't been there," says Tippett. "When that happens, you make sure things get done without relying on those players." 7 Wild Minnesota Wild* In one dizzying summer the Wild went from spendthrifts to big spenders. Now there is great optimism heading into the season. But like division rival Calgary, Minnesota is not about to become a freewheeling offensive club. "If we don't buy into the team concept," GM Doug Risebrough says, "we'll never win." . 8 Oilers Edmonton Oilers* No other team has a bigger question mark than the Oilers do in goaltender Dwayne Roloson. Sure, other goalies have had breakout playoff runs that surpassed anything they'd done that regular season. Was Roloson's masterly postseason performance an anomaly? With All-Star defenseman Chris Pronger now in Anaheim, Edmonton will quickly find out. . 9 Kings Los Angeles Kings When he took over as G.M. of the Sharks before the 1996-97 season, Dean Lombardi needed just three years to turn them into a playoff threat, but he'll be lucky to get that much time to transform the long-suffering Kings. 10 Coyotes Phoenix Coyotes Hoping to avoid a third straight last-place finish, coach Wayne Gretzky and G.M. Mike Barnett set out to improve the defense and to add a physical presence up front, but the Coyotes have too many problems -- a shortage of scorers, a poor power play -- to finish anywhere near the top of the Pacific. 11 Canucks Vancouver Canucks Memo to Alain Vigneault: Name tags might help. After failing to make the playoffs for the first time since 2000, the Canucks brought in 14 players, hired a new coaching staff and changed the team's defensive philosophy. 12 Blue Jackets Columbus Blue Jackets Though the Blue Jackets were a surprising 23-16-2 in the second half of last season, they were not as formidable as that record suggests and will have a hard time picking up where they left off. Beyond left wing Rick Nash, 22, Columbus is thin offensively. 13 Avalanche Colorado Avalanche Look around the NHL at the talent the Avalanche have given up: Peter Forsberg, Adam Foote, Paul Kariya, Rob Blake, and Alex Tanguay. Also on the way out is the franchise's 11-season streak of reaching the playoffs. 14 Blackhawks Chicago Blackhawks They won't break their trend of missing the playoffs (seven of the last eight seasons), but the Blackhawks could be more fun to watch. "I'm hopeful we're better," says second-year GM Dale Tallon, "but you never know until we play." 15 Blues St. Louis Blues The Blues' answer to putting up the worst record in the NHL last season and missing the playoffs for the first time since 1979: hiring longtime NHL broadcaster (and former St. Louis goalie) John Davidson to be team president. How They'll Finish: Eastern Conference Rank Team 1 Sabres Buffalo Sabres* Fast, skilled and hardworking, these are no longer the Sabres of the 1990s, who depended heavily on Dominik Hasek to get them a win. "We had a reputaion as a goaltender team stuck on offensive hockey," says coach Lindy Ruff. "Now all areas of our game are very good." 2 Rangers New York Rangers* Jaromir Jagr remains the pre-eminent weapon on a young team built on quick forwards, mobile defensemen and splendid sophomore goaltender Henrik Lundqvist, who led Sweden to the 2006 Olympic gold. With Brendan Shanahan, the Rangers may have staying power. 3 Senators Ottawa Senators* If you're counting, Ottawa has advanced past the first round only four times in the past nine seasons. This year's team has less skill but more grit, a development that coach Bryan Murray hopes could finally yield the sort of grinding team that can make it deep into the playoffs. 4 Hurricanes Carolina Hurricanes* The Hurricanes believe they have helped their chances of repeating by taking cues from the recent past. With a first-class sniper in center Eric Staal and a Conn Smythe-winner in 22-year old goaltender Cam Ward, Carolina has the makings of a Southern dynasty. 5 Devils New Jersey Devils* Listen to Claude Julien, the team's first-year coach, and it sounds as if this year's Devils are trying to revert to the Devils of old. "Defensive hockey doesn't have to be boring hockey," says Julien, who replaces GM Lou Lamoriello behind the bench. "I enjoy having a team that is difficult to play against." 6 flyers Philadelphia Flyers* By signing forwards Kyle Calder (26 goals, 33 assists for the Blackhawks) and Geoff Sanderson (25 goals, 21 assists for the Coyotes), the Flyers added depth and talent to an offense that should top last season's 263 goals. But Philadelphia is undermined by a slow defense. 7 Bruins Boston Bruins* The biggest changes for the Bruins occured in the front office, not on the ice. In addition to improving the meek 74-point performance of last season, the new regime will be looking to instill team chemisty and focus on defense. 8 Thrashers Atlanta Thrashers* Atlanta has a potent attack in forwards Ilya Kovalchuk (52 goals,46 assists), Marian Hossa (39 goals, 53 assists)and Slava Kozlov (25 goals, 45 assists). With Kari Lehtonen healthy and playing at his potential, the Thrashers should finally make it into the postseason. 9 Penguins Pittsburgh Penguins There's no denying how scary-good the center-ice tandem of second-year man Sidney Crosby and rookie Russian import Evgeni Malkin will be, but the Penguins' playoff hopes rest with their ability to keep the puck out of their net. 10 Canadiens Montreal Canadiens With a lackluster offense -- among playoff teams, only Calgary and New Jersey scored fewer goals last season -- the Canadiens will be counting on Cristobal Huet to carry them into the postseason. 11 Maple Leafs Toronto Maple Leafs It's been 39 years since the Maple Leafs won a Stanley Cup, a streak that's going to reach 40. At 35, center Mats Sundin remains the team's only legitimate first-line player (78 points in '05-'06). 12 Lightning Tampa Bay Lightning While the Cup-winning offense -- led by center Vincent Lecavalier (35 goals, 40 assists), center Brad Richards (23 goals, 68 assists) and right wing Martin St. Louis (31 goals, 30 assists) -- remains intact, the Lightning's fixes, though not too late, are too little. 13 Panthers Florida Panthers The Panthers will return eight players who scored 15 or more goals last season. "We've got four solid lines," says left wing Martin Gelinas. To stay out of the cellar, Florida will need consistent play out of each of them. 14 Capitals Washington Capitals The outlook is bleak considering the woeful Capitals lost 11 games by more than three goals, allowed 300 goals and led the NHL with 673 penalties. GM George McPhee made a bid for elite defenseman Zdeno Chara but settled for ordinary Brian Pothier. 15 Islanders New York Islanders This season won't be any more entertaining than the club's summer. Owner Charles Wang, who apparently didn't learn from the foolish 10-year contract he gave center Alexi Yashin in 2001, signed goalie Rick DiPietro to a record 15-year, $675 million deal.

QUOTE(cuddlyboy26 @ Oct 2, 2006 -> 04:16 PM) Ok lets just say hypotheticaly that Rex had 30 TD passes, Eli had around 25, McNabb had 30 as well, Hasselback had around 25 too, and Vick had 15 but his usual scramble plays and the Falcons were leading the division at 10-4 around at the time. Who do you think would be picked in that hypothetical scenario? i don't know what world your living in but if you throw 30 TD's your going to make the pro bowl. Grossman is having a great year and is getting a lot of hype from people around the NFL so why wouldn't he make the pro bowl. It will be Rex/Eli/Mcnabb.

I also watch the show and i don't even like fashion so i don't know why, but it is a great show. I cant stand laura and the same dress every time. Really hoping michael or jeffrey will get the win.

QUOTE(MHizzle85 @ Sep 27, 2006 -> 02:58 PM) Randall 16 in Batavia...late shows are $6.50 anyway, what was everyone's favorite skit in the movie? I think mines was the glow in the dark dodgeball, or the taxi driver going apes*** on 2 of the guys I think you mean medicine ball dodgeball in the dark! Damn that was hillarious! I hope they make a third because this s*** is just so hillarious. The taxi thing was funny as hell. One of those guys had crabs lol! Great movie! If you havent seen it you must go now!

Twins A's Phils Padres Basically anything but the yankees and tigers

im game

Mustard is Gods condiment.

Eulogy-Tool but.......i still believe

Why won't they just roll over and Die! I hate you Minnesota!

QUOTE(Palehosefan @ Sep 14, 2006 -> 08:44 PM) lmao at the ACC, it is amazingly bad this year. I don't think a single team in the league truly belongs in the BCS games. I told you North Carolina wouldn't beat VT. The ACC is pretty bad but there are still 4 legitimate contenders in Boston College, Florida State, Miami, and Virginia Tech. VT is looking pretty good this year and FSU is gonna get a BCS bowl, book it.

QUOTE(WilliamTell @ Sep 14, 2006 -> 07:55 PM) Iowa or Iowa State, who wins? I'll go with Iowa but I hope Iowa State wins. I'm an Ohio State fan but for some reason i hate Iowa more than Michigan. Please pull this one off for me Cyclones!

So is Steve Slaton amazing or what? I want Troy Smith to Win the heisman, but my God this guy is nasty! Makes me forget about that guy Reggie Bush!
