Jimbo's Drinker

Boy am I hoping that KU can make a good impressio on Lance Stephenson, his addition may take us back to a final four. Aldrich, Jeff Withey, Morris Twins, Mario Little, Quintrell Thomas, Thomas Robinson in the front court Collins(if he comes back) Elijah johnson, Stephenson???, Tyshawn Taylor, Tyrel Reed, Morningstar, Releford Damn

QUOTE (fathom @ Feb 19, 2009 -> 01:39 PM) Nope, no jealousy issues. I have my own team to root for who's seen their program hit the fan after a loss in the National Championship game. Should never have gotten there, that was a BS call on Langford in OT that year...haha i keed.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Feb 19, 2009 -> 11:38 AM) Bulls are about to make another deal. Hughes for Tim Thomas and Jerome James. Why get a guy we sent home previously just to get rid of a guy we are sending home? The NBA confuses me in general.

Can't beat a tall lefty who can throw the big cheese.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Feb 19, 2009 -> 10:23 AM) s***ty game last night by Illinois...another example of having no good go-to guy off the dribble dooming your team. It sucks McCamey is sick (if that's even a good excuse) but they should play through it. To not score 40 pts is ridiculous. This is worse than the MN game because at least in that game MN played solid D for 40 minutes. This game they got shot after shot after shot and couldn't hit anything. And for those that say the Big Ten is terrible, they still have the 2nd best RPI in the country. I'm not saying their great...i dont see any team getting to the final four...but when bottom feeders start beating the top you know that as a whole the conference is pretty good. The poster talking about Webers supposed bad acts is hilarious. Yeah it's really bad of a coach to give his players the opportunity to right their wrongs, ya know, instead of completely ruining their lives. Luther was supposedly involved in a robbery, though it was never shown he participated, only that he was there. Instead of kicking him off the team and ruining his life, he taught him a lesson and made him a millionare. As to the Jamar Smith thing, I dunno what else he could have done. To pretend that these guys aren't 18-22 year old college kids who are going to drink and make mistakes is ridiculous. He kicked him off the team for a year and told him not to f*** up again. He did, so he got booted. Name me a program in the country that hasn't had SOME issue with a player. He's playing with a team full of good sophmores and seniors with little to no offensive talent. In a year that they were supposed to finish at 5th or 6th AT BEST, he had them in the title hunt. That's pretty f'n good in my book. Starting next season we'll be getting some serious talent mixed with experience. And to whoever keeps posting that Illini fans b**** about the refs more than anyone else, stop beating the dead horse. EVERY team b****es about the officiating, especially when its well known the officiating sucks in college basketball. What's worse? Fans that b**** about the refs or fans that think their entitled to the greatest of great rankings because they were good 30 years ago? that is our old friend Buerhle >>> Wood, he loves blaming the refs.

QUOTE (gbuk @ Feb 19, 2009 -> 01:43 AM) Funny, the Illinois pipeline...both of their teams are overachieving mightily. Although as of now I'd give my vote to Mike Anderson. I think Capel wins.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Feb 19, 2009 -> 01:23 AM) I really believe NCOY should go to either Weber or Self. And you know being an Illini fan (I'm still kinda pissed about how he left) it stings to have to give Self credit. If KU can somehow beat OU next year and win a share of the Big 12 crown,for sure. His team is basically all freshman and newcomers. Aldrich barely sniffed the floor until March of last year and Collns is really maturing in the leader role. Im sure they will give it to Coach K, haha

QUOTE (gbuk @ Feb 19, 2009 -> 01:14 AM) Oh nice, you guys take boarding seriously here huh? Epic post right here.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Feb 19, 2009 -> 01:12 AM) Two games, even two as bad as the Minn game and last night, do not make a season. You couldn't possibly name 25 teams (not without sounding like an idiot) that are better than the Illini. And it's not that I think the Illini are that good. I've known for weeks that they weren't elite. College hoops is as down as it's ever been. But they most certainly deserve to be ranked. Did you think this all along or are you just talking out of your ass (wouldn't be the first time) based off of last night's game alone? You want a cookie for predicting Dee Brown wouldn't be a successful pro? lol. Way to go out on a limb there. I bet you were the only person that predicted J.J Redick and Adam Morrison would flop in the pros. Jordan4life 1 ISU fan 0

George Mason's final four team was all about the cash, right bro.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Feb 18, 2009 -> 11:29 PM) Amare with 42-11 tonight.. oh well

Didn't Penn State beat illanoy 38-34 in football, im just saying

KU handles Iowa State with a 17 point victory. Hey Alex, what happened to Marcus Morris, kid looks good now. KU now 10-1 in the conference, wow.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Feb 18, 2009 -> 08:16 PM) Don't get me wrong, Illinois deserved to lose 100 times over tonight, but I think tonight's game may have been the single worst officiated game I've ever seen. here we go again, blame the refs

Illinois is extremely subpar, a good small conference team could easily beat them in the first round.

Thanks for the update, we should have a clipped area just for articles on spring training. VICIEDO IS IN THE HOUSE.

Hey Alex, can Brackins put up 614 points again tonight?

So who should I be mad at Foreman or Paxson, can we just bring back MJ and send him to the fountain of youth?

QUOTE (IowaSoxFan @ Feb 18, 2009 -> 11:42 AM) Too bad he couldn't give some of that weight to the Missile. The Missile is just fine the way he is.

Dre Bly is now available.

Yes, Buff Joes. I do love Birds nest also.

I wish we could continue to update articles and tidbits from camp.

Bulls are not trading, Paxson is a moron.

Ill mod the league 4 this year.

QUOTE (zenryan @ Feb 16, 2009 -> 01:19 AM) haha. I'm going to say Andruw Jones. Hawk will name drop Carl Yastrzemski's name 17 times this season. Hawk will yell STRETCH on a ball that doesnt leave the infield. In midst of a 14-0 loss, Hawk will disappear in the 7th inning and not return. Robin Ventura will fill in for a 4 week stint while Hawk is in rehab. AJP will have 4 ABs in a game and only see 4 pitches. Hawk will say "Show me a _____ and I'll show you a winner/loser" over 100 times this season. Hawk will have double eye surgey and sport Sox eye patches on both eyes at the same time this season. Walker is fired after 60 games and Ron Karkovice is named new hitting coach. Hawk raves about the selection. You mean Yastremskis name 17x a game. Then Stone beats him over the head with a hamburger box.
