QUOTE(Brian @ Mar 1, 2008 -> 07:36 PM) What is that song that every sports arena plays now with the "OH OH OH OH OH, OH OH OH, etc"? I need that on my IPod. Zombie Nation.

The Gophers took out OSU today, 71-57 at the Barn. Fantastic win, and a great senior day.

QUOTE(BaseballNick @ Feb 29, 2008 -> 12:37 PM) We need more intelligent and insightful thoughts like this on SoxTalk. The green isn't necessary there.

I don't really plan on ever getting one, although if I ever did, it'd be something Frank Zappa related. That's the only thing I like enough that I would ever consider getting permanently on my body.

QUOTE(JoeCoolMan24 @ Feb 28, 2008 -> 07:58 PM) It's clearly a slant ryhme, geeez. I'll take it as a good sign that I have no idea what you're talking about.

"Wood" and "attitude" don't rhyme, unless you have a crazy accent/don't know how to pronounce words

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Feb 26, 2008 -> 06:43 PM) Wanna see a team sleepwalking through the rest of the season, check out Ohio State tonight. Awful. Matta has yet to switch to a man defense this season, even with two top tier defenders in Butler and Lighty. Packin it in for next season I guess. Lets hope they keep that up for Saturday's game

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Feb 26, 2008 -> 04:32 PM) Also, for the posters who havent yet chosen a school to attend, take a good look at what you want to experience. If its not related to partying, dont go to a school where that seems to be the chosen activity, go to a schoo located in a city where you can explore the arts and meet other people who like the things you do. There is partying at every college, city or no city. Living in a city definitely provides a number of alternate things to do, but it doesn't mean there won't be partying and excess underage drinking.

QUOTE(The Beast @ Feb 25, 2008 -> 11:42 PM) Do people even remember what happened the night before if they are wasted? Depends on how wasted they were.

QUOTE(ChiSox_Sonix @ Feb 25, 2008 -> 03:27 PM) Im from NY, i ridicule the friends i have from Jersey as well, haha ...of course the irony of that is im probably moving to Hoboken this summer... Sucks for you on both accounts Also, since this thread has taken a turn from those long, series posts, anyone else find it ironic that "The Beast" is against drinking?

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Feb 25, 2008 -> 02:27 PM) I met Crede's dad during spring training a couple of years ago. He was really nice. Probably still is. But could he beat up Fields' dad? Thats the real question.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Feb 25, 2008 -> 02:23 PM) On a side note, stuff like Magic...if you want to be seen as mature, those two just don't jive. Sorry. Again, not trying to be snarky, but in all honesty, that doesn't come across as something that a "mature" person would be into - at least, a well adjusted one. Two of my roommates (and a couple of other friends that they play with) play magic and also drink. Then again, I ridicule my roommates mercilessly for playing magic (in a friendly way, just as they ridicule me for being from New Jersey).

QUOTE(kyyle23 @ Feb 25, 2008 -> 02:09 PM) What does this have to do with a player being mediocre? Last I checked it takes a TEAM to win a ring No and no. If you have a ring, you were the reason you got it. There's no other reasoning. Period. I'm totally series.

QUOTE(Haarold @ Feb 25, 2008 -> 02:05 PM) Your list is a joke. How many of those guys are wearing rings right now? Pitching and defense win baseball games. Period. Correct. I'd take a team of Timo Perez's over a team of Barry Bonds's any day.

QUOTE(bmags @ Feb 25, 2008 -> 01:58 AM) I don't see an end to this thread. This is the thread that never ends It just goes on and on my friends Some people started posting in it Not knowing what it was And they'll continue posting in it forever just because...

QUOTE(Palehosefan @ Feb 24, 2008 -> 07:57 PM) Nah I'm not kidding. Guys like Peterson and Haluska could do some damage with a PG, and you have some athletes at the SF/PF positions. You just have to find a PG somewhere that's worth a damn. I've watched the Gophers play ISU twice in the past 2 years, and I'd agree with Heads. Although the one guy that tore us up in last year (Taylor?) really, really could shoot. He took over the game a year ago, not sure where he is now though, since I don't think he played in this years game (could be wrong though).

QUOTE(Soxbadger @ Feb 24, 2008 -> 04:50 PM) Hopefully OSU plays better the rest of the year beats MSU, Indiana, and Purdue? (The announcers said they still play all 3, I dont know and i havent checked so if thats wrong blame CBS not me) They play us next Saturday... should be a "fun" one.

QUOTE(max power @ Feb 24, 2008 -> 04:11 PM) Is this where they can pick on us tubby guys? (really, this should be a picture of the Tubby towel I got at a game earlier this year, or our "It's Tubby Time" student section t-shirts, but alas, no pictures online of either and I'm too lazy to do that myself)

QUOTE(BearSox @ Feb 9, 2008 -> 09:23 PM) good one... NOT! I laughed at it.

QUOTE(CanOfCorn @ Feb 23, 2008 -> 07:57 PM) According to my alcohol and society class I took in college, we were all alcoholics...we were binge drinkers. If I believed that, I'd probably be lying in a gutter somewhere. That's because the "definition" of binge drinking is 4/5 or more drinks in one night, which is bulls***. If you're sitting down and being social, not even heavy drinking, there's a good chance you'll hit 4 or 5 drinks in a night before you're done. It's a crap definition. I do agree that there's nothing wrong with drinking. If you're in control, and aren't an idiot, it's a fun time. And if you don't want to drink, that's cool too. You can still be social without drinking though, even when other people drink. One of my better friends refuses to drink, yet he still hangs out with us from time to time and has fun.

I sit in the middle/back. I wouldn't want the professor to disturb me while I'm doing my crossword/sudoku/reading Dr. Date.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Feb 18, 2008 -> 10:34 AM) Would you consider Ron Gardenhire to be a pretty good manager? Well I hope not, he was nothing more than a fringe player in the bigs. How can he possibly relate to the modern professional star athlete? He never lived that life. On a similar note, Billy Beane obviously knows nothing about baseball because he was never very good at it during his pro career.

I slightly follow Gophers baseball, but that doesn't mean too much. I'll go to a couple games maybe, but not too much more (unless I get some increased motivation to follow them, it's generally pretty hard to do though.. lack of coverage )

QUOTE(SnB @ Feb 15, 2008 -> 01:00 AM) W quite possibly the best piece of photography i've ever seen. It is my desktop and cell phone wallpaper. I fully agree.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Feb 13, 2008 -> 08:02 PM) CSI: IU BBall. Fantastic.
