  1. QUOTE (fathom @ May 6, 2013 -> 04:15 PM) Thing is, there's just no prayer for the Sox contending with other teams trying to get Stanton if Sale's not included. Teams like the Rangers and Cardinals just have far too much to offer. This I agree with. My post was more to the "anything in the minors" comment.
  2. QUOTE (witesoxfan @ May 6, 2013 -> 02:36 PM) At this point, I wouldn't make a trade like that if I'm the Sox simply because you need to build for the future and trading 4 young players for 1 is simply not efficient, no matter how talented the 1 player is. Considering the success rates of prospects, and the prospects the Sox have, I think if it's only 4 for 1 then you make that deal everyday of the week.

    QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ May 6, 2013 -> 12:27 PM) So.....does Joffrey like women? Because everytime he gets hot women in his room, he just tortures or kills them. I think Marjaery should consider this Joffrey isn't gay if that's what you had in mind. Joffrey just likes hurting/killing people more than sex with whores. Also, Margaery and her mother are fully aware of this, hence Margaery playing perfectly into Joffrey's desires, and you'll see in the future what the Tyrells think of Joffrey.
  4. I'd like to know if that unpaid overtime is for hourly jobs or salaried jobs. Big difference between the two.
  5. QUOTE (Brian @ May 5, 2013 -> 04:28 PM) What she say? Mrs Paul isn't a bad lady but I've seen her embarrass herself at some of Brandon's high school games.
  6. QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ May 5, 2013 -> 11:56 AM) Darius Paul to Illinois. I like it, he's a bigger body than Colbert and adds some good depth at PF in the future. I love the subtle shot that Paul's mom had about Bruce in her email about the transfer. So with Henry most likely transferring, that leaves 2 open scholarships for 2014. I think our #1 priority is Cliff, 1A is Lyle. I personally really want Leron Black because I think he's pretty likely to stay or 3+ years and that gives a ton of talent/leadership to the program for a longer time.

    QUOTE (greasywheels121 @ May 3, 2013 -> 07:00 PM) So this is now happening. Good luck! Grand Rapids is a really nice city so I hope you enjoy it. I just held a conference there at the Amway Grand Plaza, super nice hotel if you need a place to stay for a few nights.
  8. QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ May 3, 2013 -> 11:14 AM) It's hard to see it as contingent since the waiver is needed by Illinois and not specifically him. Did not know that, thought it was on the player's side. Either way, I just don't see them using a scholly this year and next year for Starks, so they must know it's going through.
  9. QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ May 3, 2013 -> 10:57 AM) Yeah, no room for Paul...maybe Starks was option 1 and Paul was option 2? And Paul is contingent on what happens with Starks. Possibly, I just don't see the need for back to back visits then. Seems like it could add a lot of drama to the Paul recruitment now having to tell him to walk on the first season or whatnot.
  10. QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ May 3, 2013 -> 10:47 AM) Apparently Starks committed to Illinois, but we still have no idea if he's going to be eligible next year. It wouldn't make much sense if he's not. I think it's still a contingent commit. Also, this throws an obstacle into the potential Darius Paul visit today as there is no free scholarship for 2013 for Paul then. He would either have to walk on, Starks would have to walk on, or someone like Henry would have to leave. Something is missing here that we haven't been told yet.
  11. QUOTE (FlaSoxxJim @ May 2, 2013 -> 03:48 PM) Very Cool. If he sends me some I'll be happy to judge his mead as well. Haha well he does bottle and distribute to friends and family that request it locally (he doesn't ship it). In terms of the mead, he entered in a cherry mead, took advantage of the Michigan tart cherries that are renown in the area.
  12. QUOTE (Steve9347 @ May 2, 2013 -> 02:07 PM) Yikes. Alien-looking lady there. Gotta be meth or something like that involved.
  13. My brother placed first in the first round of the 2013 NHC (Kansas City judging center) for Fruit mead.
  14. I've fallen in love with the Tesla S I'm hoping the price gets lower in the next 3-4 years when I'm looking at cars again. My office has 5 super-chargers in the parking lot for our employees so that would be super convenient as well.
  15. QUOTE (Brian @ May 1, 2013 -> 11:54 AM) He is but he can get into the lane and make defenses collapse. He'd be a nice back up to Abrams. He'd be a senior, right? Yes, he has one year of eligibility left.

    A place just went on the market in a building that I've had my eyes on (only like 9 units), and it's just slightly out of my range, so hopefully we could make it work if I like it in person. EDIT: And good luck shack! Hopefully all that work pays off in the end for you.

    My roommate and I have been playing Borderlands 2, can't believe I never played this before, it's great.
  18. Starks would be decent for next season, a good backup player as long as he doesn't expect starter minutes. Darius Paul would be a decent fit, and while he proved to be a good player in the MAC I don't know if Groce wants to eat up a scholly on him. It really depends on how Groce feels about guys like Cliff, Leron Black, and the 2nd tier guys like Vic Law. Personally, I don't see Paul coming here. I think NW would be a good spot for him.
  19. WHAT IN THE f***

    QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Apr 30, 2013 -> 10:30 AM) His finest quality. I loved the look on Cersei's face when he dropped the hammer on her and told her she was marrying Lorys whether she liked it or not I loved Cersei's very subtle "Father, don't make me do it again" line. One thing this show does great is they don't waste time, almost every single line has some sort of meaning behind it, or some sort of foreshadowing. If you haven't read the books (this is to anyone), you really need to pay close attention because they hint to a TON throughout the show but in very little lines that aren't always picked up.
  21. QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Apr 29, 2013 -> 03:00 PM) They didn't knock down Assembly Hall, LOL. Chief is gone, Assembly Hall is being renovated. Improves revenue, should help get better players in the program, nothing to be upset about here. We're not Cubs fans. Exactly, this is a move in the right direction. This will only help with recruiting, and that means more wins.
  22. Assembly Hall in Champaign is now the State Farm Center. I like it, good, reputable company sponsoring us that allows us to get our renovation funding closer to being done so we can upgrade our facilities. It was badly needed.

    QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Apr 28, 2013 -> 10:55 PM) I like GOT but sometimes I think I need subtitles and I am lost a good amount of the time. The accents can be a bit thick, but if you rewatch the episode you should be able to get all of it. I thought Jamie's retelling of killing Aegon was spot on, terrific acting job.
  24. QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Apr 26, 2013 -> 10:07 PM) His arm wasn't that good to begin with. He's strictly a west coast guy. Hoping Nassib makes it to the Bills pick. He's worth taking with a 4th. You want the bills to take two qbs??

    QUOTE (iamshack @ Apr 26, 2013 -> 12:38 PM) She's listing it for $675k...i believe she paid $575k, cash, back when the market was pretty crappy. So it is priced pretty well, but these ultra modern homes take a little bit longer to sell. I would imagine the pool of interested buyers is definitely smaller. That's definitely a place I would love to lease but not buy.
