Jimbo's Drinker

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Feb 26, 2007 -> 01:59 AM) I'm really not sure what the beef with that article is....any self respecting and realistic Illinois fan will tell you the team is mediocre, and is going to finish 3rd in the league somehow. As for Kansas....they are probably the best team I've seen not named UCLA the last few months (UCLA has been just as impressive in a better league, and has more experience), but I've seen too many great Kansas teams, including a few better than this one, lose in March. so true, that is why March and Me hate each other.

Thats crazy that arsenal's average age in the match was 21, what a wonderful future. They played without Van Persie, Gallas, Rosicky, Ljungerg, Henry, etc...

QUOTE(Jordan4life_2007 @ Feb 26, 2007 -> 12:29 AM) Question for Zoom: Shouldn't trades be determined by the commish? I mean, let's say I'm in second place, and somebody like Kalapse is in first, he looks to make a trade with Jimbo to enhance his chances, even if the trade is fair, I'm gonna vote against it. I don't want him to get better, obviously. That's not really fair. That's just me, though. somehow its always my fault.

QUOTE(hitlesswonder @ Feb 26, 2007 -> 12:23 AM) People may disagree with the tone, but the article is right on the merits. The Big Ten is a bad, bad conference, and more than 3 teams from it making the NCAA tournament would be a travesty. Really, it's hard to justify more than Wisc and OSU making the dance. And I'll also go along with Kansas being the best team in the country -- I think this is the year Bill Self wins a national championship. or the first team to lose to a 16 seed.....KU does this every single year in the month of February.

I just posted the article because for the first time kansas got some love. though they will lose at OU

QUOTE(WhiteSoxfan1986 @ Feb 25, 2007 -> 09:54 PM) It's looking better for your Jayhawks to get a #1 seed. KU still has to play at OU, never easy. They are doing a "white out", as opposed to the "black out" attempt by kstate. Gregg Doyel gives love to the jayhawk Not Wisconsin. Not Florida, strange as that is. The Gators returned everyone who mattered from last season's national championship team, but they've lost to NCAA bubble team Vanderbilt and to NIT bubble team LSU in the past eight days. Joakim Noah isn't the starving-for-greatness player he was last season, but he's not alone. The only Florida starter who hasn't regressed is Al Horford. UCLA? The Bruins have the country's best resume and the best three-guard set in Collison, Arron Afflalo and Josh Shipp. But the Bruins have a small forward playing power forward, and they have a cavity at center. Not good. North Carolina? The Tar Heels have it all. They are Ohio State with more star power, Florida with more depth. But North Carolina has been swept by schizophrenic Virginia Tech and lost to mediocre North Carolina State. So if you're asking me to name the best team in the country, I can only tell you this: The best team in America wasn't in town on Sunday. Unless Kansas happened to be stuck at the Columbus airport.

yay UNC goes down

QUOTE(Fotop @ Feb 25, 2007 -> 05:21 PM) In the grand scheme of things it just means they're most likely a two seed in the tourney. Polls, as pretty much everyone here knows, are all together useless. i dont care about polls....GO MARYLAND QUOTE(Fotop @ Feb 25, 2007 -> 05:22 PM) And that's pretty much when Duke jumped the shark... I stand corrected, sorry i was wrong. I remember KU tried to rush the court, before fans booed the hell out of them after they beat Texas a few years ago.

QUOTE(Buehrle>Wood @ Feb 25, 2007 -> 05:20 PM) That's pretty funny actually since it's still better than the "We're ranked lower than the mid-major MVC" Big 12. my conference sucks, my team does not. I cant do anything with a league with 6 new coaches.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Feb 25, 2007 -> 05:18 PM) Back to back even anyways this poses a question.....how far does wiscy drop..two losses in one week?

wooohooo we won a conference that has not been so down in 10 years.

haha what a joke, lets go rush the court after almost losing at home. REAL programs dont rush the court, have never seen Duke, Kentucky, KAnsas or UNC do that.

Also, top 2 finishers automatically place in the draw for champions league. While 3rd and 4th place have to play their way into the draw. That is usually not hard, Arsenal beat some team from Zagreb this year.

Bill Self has really turned it up...they were actually running today. It was a pleasure to watch.

This is my first year also, i consider myself past the beginner stage. if you have any questions, shoot me a pm or an im, love to help.

oh my god i love all the tourneys starting, great action for like a week and a half straight and.....KU gets a bye in the big 12 tourney, so no 1st round knockouts. hahahaahahahhaha

Senata Sports is an Irish soccer network. I believe you can view the game over their website or something to that extent. I would love to see Denilson, Adebayor and the rest of the kids get some hardware for Arsenal, considering their young age.

Draft is a OK for me. 24 and then draft.

QUOTE(Rex Hudler @ Feb 24, 2007 -> 09:56 PM) SIU only beat a bad Evansville team by 7 at home tonight, so they suck too. haha, KU absolutely kills Kstate and Mizzou on the road, and i dont even want to bring up average score at home in the last few weeks. It must be a victory average of like 30+ Its all about SUPER SHERRON though oklahoma will be a good test, and then the Durant show comes in.

QUOTE(Rex Hudler @ Feb 24, 2007 -> 09:53 PM) So Ohio State beating Penn St by two and eight points in their last three games means what? Penn St. is worse than all of the teams Kansas has blown out in the past few weeks. The point is, actually, you don't have a clue what you are arguing. You keep posting stats about what Kansas has done this year, which means absolutely NOTHING in terms of how they are playing right now. I could care less what they did or did not do in December. If you watch Kansas right now, you can see they are playing very well. If you can't see that, then you are just an idiot. If you want to keep arguing with points that are not related, go ahead and talk to yourself. good point...you can use all the stats you want from the beginning of the year. If you watch the Jayhawks in the last 3 weeks you will see the BEST team in the nation....Pretty sure you are not watching, just looking at stats.

Sentata Sports....channel 615 on directv. GO GUNNERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Kansas became a whole new team when Sherron Collins was used more than 5 minutes a game(Texas A&M Game) The early season was just blah, now is a full head of steam monster. Ill say it now, and ill kick myself for saying it later...this is the best kansas team since the 03 team. insert foot now.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Feb 24, 2007 -> 08:25 PM) I'm not even pissed. We got a missile shoved up our ass. Yeah we have been doing that alot lately....Arthur, Collins, RUsh, Chalmers, Jackson, Kaun, Robinson, Wright...so many optins.

Kansas is just awesome baby, ever since we discovered Sherron, unstoppable.

Why haven't they switched out of Conf USA, its killing their overall outlook.
