QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Oct 23, 2015 -> 08:10 AM) In their defense the W flag was very lightly used before this year and did appear to be brand new. Well played.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Oct 21, 2015 -> 02:31 PM) My biggest problem with you is you often do not read my posts. You have some preconceived notion of me and you don't want to accept the fact I may be a normal law abiding good person. I have never denied I was guilty; I paid the fine the next day. As far as the kid flying through the intersection at 1 a.m., I'd see the bicyclists light on his bike in that scenario and I did 'stop' I just rolled through. I would ask you and all soxtalkers to comment on my comment about the cop breaking the unwritten rulebook code of cop-citizen in this case. Warning, no ticket for such an offense when the driver has nothing on his record. Baseball has a ton of unwritten rules; the cops had one in this town as well until I got pinched. This is hilarious considering all the times people have asked you (myself included) to respond to posts that discredit any base of your arguments (if there are any) only to have you ignore those and continue to post your obscene logic. Greg, you are naive, you are self-centered (at least on here), and you really need to grow up and become more self aware. I don't believe you are a bad person, but you intentionally put blinders on. When anyone here tries to educate you on a matter (such as crime rates), you just put your head back into the sand. It's a tired, old act and you just need to do some self maturing.

Wow that made me tired just reading it man, hope it all turns out the way you want it too! And yea, definitely put some before/after pics, it'd be pretty cool to see them.

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Oct 21, 2015 -> 11:15 AM) The new construction project is adding a video board on the south end. Nice, that should help a lot.

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Oct 21, 2015 -> 08:05 AM) Bathrooms on the lower concourse are bad. Upper concourse ones are nicer. I'm not one who cares about scoreboards/amenities/etc. at sporting events. The game is entertainment enough for me. Well to me a scoreboard screen is vital to be able to see replays to really understand the ref calls or to see the minute details that you can't visibly see from your seat. Not having that I almost felt lost at times, especially because in that game there were like 6 plays reviewed by the refs, it was crazy how many of those occurred and not being able to see it yourself. And Rock, that's exactly how I described it to my friend, it's definitely a Wrigley type atmosphere but with fans that pay attention.

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Oct 20, 2015 -> 02:33 PM) The inner/lower part of the stadium is the original 1930 stadium. This is the part that you probably feel "needs a complete overhaul," but there are no plans for major renovations to this part. The outer councourse/facade and upper section were constructed around the original shell and opened in 1997. What is being constructed now will be attached to but entirely outside of what was built in 1997. The actual view/sightlines were great, but pretty much everything else was disappointing. I would rank the field view right up there with anyone else but scoreboard, amenities, bathrooms, etc were about as bad as I've seen.

I went to the Notre Dame/Navy game a few weeks back, first time ever to Notre Dame. I was a bit shocked by the overall state of the stadium, obviously they are doing a lot of renovations but man that place needs a complete overhaul. Any of the ND fans here know if they are doing a multi-year project to update the entire stadium or is it focused on the suites/press box area right now?

I'm 25 and I love Star Wars, one of the first series that made me love sci fi. I just bought tickets for the opening, and I'll probably be getting Battlefront as well when it comes out.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Oct 20, 2015 -> 10:38 AM) Kendrick Nunn to miss 8 weeks for surgery on his left thumb. At this point Groce should be fired simply because his luck is so bad. Thankfully it seems like the JCL injury isn't going to keep him out as long as people thought but right now at the start of the season you are looking at a rotation of something like: PG Tate/Lewis SG Jordan SF Hill/Williams PF Finke C Thorne/Morgan Yikes. First game lineup for me is: PG Lewis/Tate SG Austin/Jordan/JCL (limited minutes if at all) SF Hill/Williams PF Hill/Finke C Thorne/Mav/Finke Can we not have any more injuries for the next 4 years now please?

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Oct 19, 2015 -> 02:54 PM) My first internship was at a local factory and I had to fire several workers for different reasons and it was literally so horrible I didnt go into that line of work. They had interns firing people? Well they may be in line for worst company in America.

Yea if I'm the Cubs I'm taking full advantage of their rookie surplus, trade away guys you don't believe in (Baez most likely) and sign guys like Price now to make yourself legit contenders. They have like a 4-5 year window before any of their young hitters really require money, you have to spend on pitching now to capitalize. Plus, it's the Cubs, if they need money to pay players they will find it somewhere.

QUOTE (soxfan49 @ Oct 15, 2015 -> 07:38 PM) Any tips on restaurants/bars in Ann Arbor? Ashley's has pretty good food and a great beer selection. I don't know too many other bars since I lived there in high school. As for restaurants, what're you looking for? My favorites from what I remember: Dibellas - sub shop, get the godfather on everything and be happy BTB (Big Ten Burrito) - great local burrito joint Knight's - fantastic steak house Metzgers - German food, very good Gandy Dancer - more upscale, in an old train station, excellent food and service here Jerusalem Garden - some of the best mediterranean I've had Real Seafood company - popular downtown place The Earle - another fancier place, but also very good Be Won - great Korean food Zingerman's anything is good, but WAY overpriced. Don't go to the Road House, place is a complete rip off. Plenty of other great places but those are the ones that I'm remembering best.

I think this is Caufield's favorite thread ever.

In all seriousness...Jewel carries plenty of hot dog brands at that size. Just go with Red Hot Chicago brand, some of the best out there. If you have a Costco membership they sell their 1/4 lb style franks as well.

Sark officially fired according to CBS (alert to my phone).

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Oct 12, 2015 -> 09:03 AM) With the cubs making the playoffs and a good year in attendance, wouldn't it make more sense for the cubs to trade Castro, plug Baez in at 2B and sign a FA SP? The cubs were rumored to be shopping Castro at the trade deadline and are rumored to try again this winter. The trade doesn't make any sense for the cubs to be honest. Don't get me wrong, I would love to have Schwarber. They aren't getting anyone CLOSE to Q for Castro. Hell, they'd be lucky to find anyone who is willing to pay for him at any level.

Man I hope he somehow gets a chance to pitch in the playoffs/WS still, I know it's unlikely especially without being on the ALDS roster but would be really cool to have him out there one more time. Mark, we love you man, enjoy the postseason and if this is really it you had one hell of a career. Can't wait for the statue at the Cell!

Cubit will NOT be the Illini coach next year, They need a clean slate from the allegations. Cubit was OC and most of the players were from his side, you think he wasn't involved at all and won't be named? Golesh and Bellamy are the only 2 id consider keeping but I would understand if the new coach wants his own people.

Louisville is probably looking at some sanctions coming down for a sex scandal. I assume that this happens way more than people think for top programs, I just would expect it to be boosters and not coaches doing the hiring.

I went a little late through a yellow in the city during morning rush hour. There was a high school a block away. I totally deserved it in that circumstance. The police officer was super nice to me, pretty much said we've all done it just be more careful on where you are doing it and not near a school.

Otterboxes are like putting your iphone in a briefcase and saying it protects it. Sure it does, but who the hell wants to carry that around?

Bachelor party this past weekend led to me finding my iphone screen cracked in a corner, no memory of it happening of course....

So I know this is kind of crazy but I'm pretty optimistic for the game vs Nebraska. I have a feeling (not a lot of logic behind it) that Cubit has been keeping the offense fairly simple to start the year and will open it up to take advantage of Nebby's terrible pass defense. I think we pull this game off somehow, and Nebraska fans go into full panic mode.
