QUOTE(nitetrain8601 @ Oct 13, 2006 -> 02:31 PM) Why do people call Eric Gordon EJ? Also, are people still going to tell me Bruce Weber is a good recruiter? The only prize he had from the Championship Game from 2 years ago, just decided to go against a verbal committment and go to a rival. Like I have been saying, Weber can't recruit, the end. That type of coach doesn't last long, especially if they can't recruit based off a national championship appearance. my point exactly...bravo to you, great post. Weber has lost Chicago, which Self won back for Illinois, and is now taking for himself .Sampson and Izzo and Motta are going to eat up the midwest. Diamonds in a rough only come once in a while.

QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ Oct 13, 2006 -> 02:09 PM) Haha awesome. I know just about anything I say is going to make me look like an asshole, but I'm sorry Illini fans. I know this is a huge blow, and there's nothing enjoyable about it. However, I hope you guys can still pull a solid class, and we've definitely got one solid rivalry on our hands now. though piven was at the blackhawks opening night....hes just making the rounds i guess. KU gets to entertain our recruits with the Bulls taking on the Sonics on sunday at the AFH Hinrich v. Collison, kind of cool

QUOTE(Soxbadger @ Oct 13, 2006 -> 01:42 PM) You constantly attack Bruce Weber for no reason. It appears that it is your Rock Chalk inferiority complex. Perhaps if you did not talk s*** about Weber then people wouldnt call you on it? I dont know Im not even an Illinois fan, but in my opinion KU fans have a serious envy complex, that makes it necessary for them to attack other teams and fans for no reason. Its not like Illinois chose Weber over Self, Self chose KU over Illinois. So why is there the animosity towards Weber? I could care less about Illinois anymore...just innocent poking fun. i wish the illinois program good luck. PIVEN ROCKS

QUOTE(SnB @ Oct 13, 2006 -> 01:38 PM) f***ing god damnit son of a b****. Well our kickoff tonight certainly should have a somber mood. two falling programs: Kentucky and Illinois, they can't recruit like they used to.

QUOTE(Soxbadger @ Oct 13, 2006 -> 01:35 PM) How can a KU fan talk s*** about Weber? Weber took his team to the championship game... Self continues to stroke his own ego and say how great his recruits are. But what is ironic, is that Bill Self's KU and Illini teams that went to the Elite 8, both were his first year of coaching. That would mean they were not his recruits. I personally believe that Weber is better coach, and Self is the better recruiter. If I had to take my pick, I would go with the coach, because recruiting is to fickle. As to Gordon, I doubt there was any foul play. Just my guess is Indiana offered making him a state legend, where as in Illinois 50% or more of the people could care less about Illini basketball. Its not Weber's fault, Illinois just is not a great place to recruit to. It really does not have anything unique to offer. Gordon is from Indiana, it would be like a John Clay (RB recruit from the state of Wisconsin) chosing Illinois over Wisconsin. It really just did not make much sense, but from an Illinois standpoint you had to hold onto the dream. This argument is like 2 years old....no reason to bring it up again.

QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ Oct 13, 2006 -> 01:08 PM) ^^^ IU basketball is my second favorite team behind the Sox. And Mike White is the name people should keep an eye on for the Hoosiers this year; he's getting all kinds of praise right now. I'm excited to see what he's all about tonight. Sherron Collins makes me giddy..i love freshman, so many ways of explaining that term. Can i be a college bball mod...that would be hot

QUOTE(SleepyWhiteSox @ Oct 13, 2006 -> 11:38 AM) Since you believe he was not really torn and was just leading illinois along, why did he do it? I'm curious about the anti-illini consipiracy... Weber is notorious for being an ahole in the college circle. Also, other teams programs can walk all over him. the most important thing, who the hell want to hear that squeaky voice for years.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Oct 13, 2006 -> 11:07 AM) I've missed college basketball. I will say 2-3 losses in the conference are about what I expect out of Kansas. College Basketball is my fav(besides the sox)...im so glad i can get the college bball package on directv.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Oct 13, 2006 -> 10:54 AM) I'm pretty sure you guys still have as many national championships in the last 10 years as us. You know as well as I do that there's no pulling away from the Big 12 except in very rare circumstances. KU will have two losses max in the big 12...cmon lets do some fun betting hear my fellow big 12er.

QUOTE(CanOfCorn @ Oct 13, 2006 -> 10:42 AM) Dear IU, Enjoy Eric Gordon for the year he'll be there. Jerks. Love, CanOfCorn Do you want some cheese with that WHINE???? How does a team go from the finals 2 years ago to having no good recruits.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Oct 13, 2006 -> 10:31 AM) Hopefully, with the new slow-down way of playing which is sure to come under McDermott, along with actual defense, we'll have a shot at KU. That'd be a win for GMac to hang his hat on, unless he feels like knocking off Ohio State. It's amazing, it used to be Iowa was our archrival in everything. Now Nebraska is moving up in football, and, goddammit, we want to beat the s*** outta Kansas. Keep hoping, your will be a speck on our rear view mirror.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Oct 13, 2006 -> 10:27 AM) But can they beat Belmont? OH NO, WHAT ABOUT IF THEY PLAYED BAYLOR IN THE FIRST ROUND? CHAOS. I'm hoping State can win 12-15 this year. We thought of Baylor, cant play your own conference. These shenanigans are over, or Lawrence will turn into Detroit.

QUOTE(WHITESOXRANDY @ Oct 13, 2006 -> 09:43 AM) A lights out bullpen would be a major help. After that, maybe getting younger would help - I would look to trade Contreras for young pitching. REST, our guys looked tired.

Bruce Weber how you make us laugh.

The nation's number 2 preseason is just stacked this year. As Self said "this is finally my team, my recruits" Chamlers, Robinson, Kaun, Giles, Rush, Jackson. The two super freshman: Sherron Collins and future All American Darrell Arthur. OH, and the best damn player I have ever seen wear the crimson and blue. HF's Own JUJU

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Oct 12, 2006 -> 10:46 PM) You should be feeling lucky your a big name school. Smaller name ones have gotten 1 to 3 year postseason bans for offenses less serious. sucks for smaller schools.

gonna have to prerank, off to bhawks game that night.

QUOTE(nitetrain8601 @ Oct 12, 2006 -> 07:54 PM) For what and how many years? KU lost one scholarship for next year which they can defer to the 08-09 season..Nothing huge, big time talents still coming. Thanks, Roy you f***in jackass

QUOTE(Soxy @ Oct 12, 2006 -> 10:25 AM) Drama! I was a little miffed that there was no resolution to the Jeffrey possibly cheating thing last night. Lame. If he's out, I don't know whose collection I like best. Probably Uli. They need some kind of hook for next week.

QUOTE(Steff @ Oct 12, 2006 -> 10:40 AM) Fix up the stadium money has nothing to do with fix the team on the field money. wrong, im sure someone is going to sponsor that area.

this should bring us some more on field talent....whats next a ride going up and down the foul pole...go sox pr go.

2 more recruits going to KU's late night in the phog. They are teammates of futre all american Darrell Arthur(freshman this year)

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Oct 11, 2006 -> 12:16 AM) This movie was freaking incredible. Though, it will be funny to see how the Academy rips off Scorcese somehow again. someone want to be a doll and try to help me figure out the ending....what exactly happened....i dont know if it was the booze or my lack of concentration. pm please.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Oct 11, 2006 -> 09:36 AM) I agree. It wasn't too long ago that ads on outfield walls were minor league. I think the Sox will be sporting a US Cellular patch on their unis sometime soon. Once its approved and 1 team takes the plung, all the others will follow. This wwould be 4 minutes later than usual....im sure espn can pump up their on air crap for a few more minutes.

oh thank god i was so nervous about his future...barf
