QUOTE(Palehosefan @ Feb 7, 2007 -> 01:11 PM) I know nobody else cares, but UNC is having a ridiculous day. 3 star Devon Ramsey, 4 star Greg Little, 4 star Kevin Bryant, 5 star Marvin Austin, 5 star Dwight Jones, and now 4 star Weslye Saunders all in one day. I don't even know what to say right now, I don't even know what to say, but this makes tonights basketball game almost irrelevant. UNC is indeed having a great day today, but not sure where you got your Saunders info from. His LoI is already in USCs hands.

QUOTE(Palehosefan @ Feb 6, 2007 -> 07:04 PM) USC and Florida have seperated themselves from the pack with quite possibly the best two classes on paper in history. Teams like Texas, Notre Dame, Tenn, LSU etc have pulled in great classes as well. UNC and Illinois will probably be the suprise teams in the rankings this year. Oklahoma really has taken a hit in this years class, as they didn't have many scholarships, but their star level isn't as high as in the past either. Well considering they are either 5th or 6th in the nation right now with this years class, depending on what service you like, Steve Spurrier and South Carolina have sold themselves to recruits, and filled many needs nicely. It hurt to lose Gray to ND, but I still think he'll regret that decision on down the road. And before the ND folks get in an uproar, NO I don't mean SCar is greater than ND, I mean that Gary Gray was out there recruiting hardcore for Spurrier and SCar after committing himself. Then he gets a little sad because he isn't getting contacted everyday from SCar and such, so he switches sides. Alot of this class coming in for Spurrier had direct contact from Gray, telling them to come join him in doing something thats never been done at SCar. Then he jumps ship.

"Imagine" by A Perfect Circle, and this is coming from a Beatles/Lennon purist. I like the cover.

This recruiting class is up to 8th in the nation, with a few 4 and 5 star players left on the board, and 4th in the SEC still!! Such is the life in the best football conference around...

I'll echo Rex on one.. "Hurt"(NIN) by Johhny Cash "Overkill"(Men at Work) by Lazlo Bane "Renegades of Funk"(Afrika Bambaataa) by Rage Against the Machine About all I can think of sitting here at work, though one of the funniest covers I've heard before was in concert a few years back... "Cry Me a River"(Justin Timberlake) by lostprophets

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Jan 7, 2007 -> 08:24 PM) Thanks for that recommendation. Some good stuff. They are god awful live, but the album is very good, imo. I'll agree with those sentiments. I saw them live before I really got into the CD, and...yeah...not a great live show at all.

QUOTE(Fotop @ Jan 4, 2007 -> 12:36 AM) Preach. For a Michigan fan, you're pretty smart. I need a f****ing drink right now...or 20. Let the Fire Rick Minter campaign begin now. Us South Carolina fans coulda told you to avoid Rick Minter at all costs...

I got the Colts.. no thanks!! LJ is gonna run rampant over Indy

You youngsters are supposed to be out being silly and stupid at parties!! Us old timers are supposed to be on the boards only!!

Dallas Green, lead singer of alexisonfire, did a solo project last year under the name "City and Colour" named "Sometimes" Outstanding IMO if you just want to hear a guy and his acoustic guitar, that can really sing, andd hear music in its simplest form. Check it out if you get the chance.

Spurrier hates recruiting? Not sure who spread that mistruth years ago at Florida. Now up to 8th overall with this class so far, and 5 star DE Carlos Dunlap still expected to announce USCs way....go get em Spur!

Good signing I think we'll all agree. Uribe is FAR from being out of the woods right now legally anyways, so its a proper insurance policy as well.

I'm in a definate minority here I'm sure, but right now I can't get enough of "A Beautiful Lie" by 30 Seconds to Mars. The track "From Yesterday" had me hooked from day one, before it hit the airwaves. I think the Leto brothers, and their pals made a great disc last year, one I listen to alot.

I want absolutely, positively NO part of Andruw Jones...NONE....I'll take my chances resigning Buehrle over trading for Jones, any day of the week.

I second Veruca Salt, I still listen to the old Louise Post-led foursome. Fiona Apple is still a fav of mine as well.

the wonderful show "John Doe" on Fox friday nights. I still resent Fox for cancelling that show.

I think through all of this, its been pretty clear from the Front Office that Contreras isn't going anywhere, no matter how old the guy is. They have him wrapped up for a few years, and he is an innings eater. So we need to brace ourselves for, IMO, trading Garland or BUehrle, depending on what the offers are.

Hope the day goes great for you, now start making me a new sig already!!

So who are you hearing in that area Rex? I still think Paul Johnson is the hire to make honestly, but it seems Paul Bryant, Jr is longing for that 'wow' name still that really isn't out there, we'll see.

I don't have any feelings for Bama either way. I just think that Bama fans need to get a grip on reality and see things how they really are....the Alabama head coaching job is not this end all, be all elite position that all the head coaches in the country line up to have a shot at. Bama fans think that they can just say "Our head coach position is available" and have every elite coach line up, its not true anymore. This isn't your fathers Alabama team. Every college team in America has some misguided fans, but if you read the Alabama forums, you'll see that they are just downright delusional. Its not always about how much money you can throw at someone, thats something that the Alabama BOT can't seem to figure out.

Alabama: Getting coaches all over the NCAA landscape nice raises!!

Yes, there is a degree of coachspeak that goes on everywhere...BUT...WVU was RRods alma mater, his 'dream job', all that he wants in a job!!! Coachspeak is one thing, blatant lying to the kids that put faith in what you tell them directly, over and over, is a bit too far for my likes.

Here comes Operation:Non-roster Invitee to save the ChiSox day!! I'm really just not sure how I feel about the landscape of our team these days, I'm pretty disheartened by the stance that JR and KW have taken after waiting so long to see such great attendance numbers.

I see RRod took the Dennis Franchione route in college coaching. You know, tell everyone how you are the happiest you've been at a specific school, your alma mater, how no other job in the world would make you happy....all the while getting those travel plans together to slither out the back door. Good luck living up to asinine expectations at a school where you will forever be in the shadow of an alcoholic, iconic figure. Don't let the coaching turnstyle at Uof A hit your ass on the way out in a couple years either.

Now if only they would be a good judge on not going for guys who top out at 92 MPH and throw junk, we'd be doing alot better in the amateur drafts!!
