What should I get for lunch?

QUOTE (Pants Rowland @ Nov 19, 2009 -> 09:31 AM) I don't know if it is a bias as much as a catering to corporate Chicago. There is a silliness about Cub and Bear coverage that I rarely see with the Sox, Bulls and Hawks. The Cubs and Bears not only have a huge following throughout Chicagoland (and nationally for the Cubs), but the concentration of Cubs fans in the business district has always seemed very over the top to me. They are very intertwined with LaSalle Street and the dumb, over the top stories just seem to fit their fan base more. Every once in a while, the big shoulders, blue collar pandering story about the Sox, Bulls and Hawks comes out, but it is usually a blurb more than anything. I personally can not listen to Bears and Cubs fans for precisely this reason. There is a silly adoration and obsession with their teams and a false sense of entitlement/royalty in their so-called traditions. It comes out in the news coverage as they are simply trying to meet the demands of the readers. This is the reason that I'm not really a football fan. I kind of like the bears but hate bears fans.

Yeah, Green Day just killed this list for me more than slipknot I think. Everything after Dookie was just garbage.

Slipknot...lol

Shouldn't have ever doubted him. I take back every bad thing I've said about him. Noah for All Star!

I love Joakim Noah. That is all.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Nov 17, 2009 -> 11:18 PM) This "Weber is afraid of the MVC" talk is nonsense. When was the last time a major school went on the road to a mid-major? It RARELY happens, not because those teams are afraid, but because of the money involved. Why on earth would you play a game that will gain you ABSOLUTELY NOTHING, on any level, when you can play an NIU or SIUE, or Wofford, or whatever at home, sell out, and make bank. And this mid-major woe is me crap is getting old. Guess what, if you're a mid-major and you want to be taken seriously, win your conference, make the tournament, and make some noise. You do that and you get invited to the pre-season tourneys and the occasional neutral site game that'll get you more attention. There's a reason that 7-8 years ago SIU was a great mid major program (thanks to Weber). There's a reason teams like Butler, Gonzaga, etc are rated. They win and they win consistently. So, until you get screwed ala the non-bcs schools in football, shut it. /end rant Clemson played at Liberty last night.

QUOTE (Brian @ Nov 17, 2009 -> 04:56 PM) SIU has beaten a lot of big programs in the past few years as well. Indiana, UMASS, VTech, Texas Tech, Georgia, @ Butler, Could of beaten UConn with Caron Butler, I don't even want to mention the Kansas game, but coulda won that. Also shoulda beat Missouri that one year in the tourney. The latest stuff with Weber is irritating, not wanting to come to SIU or whatever. They let Edwardsville and NIU go to Champaign, but won't agree to go there probably. I think it has alot more to do with the MVC rather than in state or playing mid majors. Illinois will play mid majors but they will not play MVC teams. Weber knows how good the conference is and avoids it when he can. It makes sense, he doesn't want to play a tough game that he has a good chance of losing that doesn't mean much more than playing SIU-E or NIU. Unfortunately college basketball is becoming a joke. I love ISU, but give the NBA all day over this garbage. Go Birds! 6 days until I get to see them put a beatdown on UIC at the pavilion.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Nov 16, 2009 -> 05:45 PM) Soundgarden beats Pearl Jam? Ok, that's just wrong. Maybe I should have voted. Next time don't run these when I'm handing in my thesis! I came in here to post the exact same thing. Thank you.

Adrian Gonzalez is a better hitter than Miguel Cabrera right now. I'm with Steve on this one.

I'm drooling over this.

QUOTE (103 mph screwball @ Nov 16, 2009 -> 01:01 PM) Gary Matthews is a 10 million dollar Brian Anderson. Ouch. Then I love him already.

Holy Moly. I see this right before work?!? Now I'm going to be wondering all day whats going on. Please Kenny, make this happen.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Nov 14, 2009 -> 01:05 AM) Do you ISU fans like coach Jank? He's excellent. Jank is the man. Especially after the Porter Moser disaster.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Nov 13, 2009 -> 05:44 PM) a remake of one of my favorite movies as a kid, Clash of the Titans I can't wait for this.

I wish college wasn't so required these days. I just am not a school person. Always tested very high on tests and am very intelligent but I hate the school setting. I would much rather work. This is probably why I am in year number 6 of college and still have no passion or desire to go into anything.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Nov 12, 2009 -> 10:32 PM) Done and Done. thank ya.

Marcus, if you get that Wave invite you gotta hook a fella up.

Can I get my member line changed to "Resident ISU Homer"?

Happy birthday young man!

I only like it in football. Football is so slow as it is that I think it works.

QUOTE (fathom @ Nov 10, 2009 -> 09:54 PM) You should know by now that Hinrich is the worst end of game player in the history of the world. make that basketball player, we've all seen linebrink at the end of games.

Well damn. That ruling sucked.
