Hell no, if I could retire at 35 I would... That would be the best thing ever.. I could finally set up the perfect workout routine, insted of having it all f***ed up by school and other s***.. I would be able to eat at the right times and lift at the right times, then when Im done.. Sit around and play video games and go on the internet all day... man, that would be the life..

Play the lotto, thats my guess

That is completely false... I am friends with MinnesotaSoxFan but seriously, I am nothing like that sterotype that "Jocks" have been labeled with.. I am a big guy and a football player but im not a dumbass and I dont treat people like s***.. I have a lot of friends that you have said above Jocks wouldnt be friends with

were not the Yankees, we need to have people down in the system.. Even if you have some list of people who never made it... Garland, Sweeney, Anderson, McCarthy, and Diaz... Those are 5 young talented players... were not talking about one prospect here

You know what, if were gonna overpay we might as well go for JD Drew.. a young solid LH bat with a very high OBP and walks a TON.. 112 UNintentional walks IIRC He would easily replace Maggs production, maybe even be better at the Cell, and would be 4-5 Million less 5 years 9-10 Million per... If were gonna overpay, this is who I would want us to overpay

SWEET JESUS... no way Thats basically all our young talent for some OK guys!

HEY! I take offense to that not all athletes are like that thank you very much

He only did that a few times, haha, but I noticed it too... Either way, it is a great move for Illinois.. Cant wait for next season, and hopefully he brings more Florida recruits with him!

Yeah but were talkin bout signings, thats what I meant

I would rather send them PK than Lee... even if we had to throw in an extra prospect.. PK, Anderson, and a P prospect for Hudson wouldnt really bother me... Lee and Rowand need to stay though

I wouldnt exactly call Jermaine Dye old and broken down, but other than him who else out there is a better option that we can realistically sign? 23 HR's and 80+ RBI's... factor him into the Cell and thats gonna be pretty solid production from him, and hes what 30? Thats not too bad IMO Hidalgo as well would be a good fit I just dont see too many REALISTIC options for us

Were gonna have to accept the fact that if were gonna sign someone its gonna cost money.. We cant keep goin on saying "That guys too much forget it" because pretty soon were gonna be left with the bottom of the barrel.. I have no problem with us signing Dye, or Hidalgo for that matter.. but these guys most likely wont be signing for 2 mil thats just how it is

Exactly.. Tennessee is very solid, dont discredit ND too much... they arent terrible

You also beat Michigan, does that make them an OK team too ND wasnt a bad team.. they just showed to play one day then they were nowhere to be found the next week

I know but I was just making it clear that I was not one of those who said that.. so it didnt look like I was contradicting

....cool Since you basically b****ed about something I didnt even mean like you took it.. Everyone was saying they had a down year, and I said if you take away the Mississippi State loss their other losses were to three 9 win teams.. I wasnt trying to pretend like it didnt happen :headshake

I never said anything about the Big 10 not getting respect.. IMO the big 10 is weak I think that Zook will be able to have success here because of that too

Ole Miss is heading down, not only that, they are in a powerhouse conference... Illinois should be much more attractive.. they have young talent and they are in a weaker conference It will be much easier to guide Illinois to a big 10 title then it would be to try and do it at Ole Miss This is a great move, I cant wait for next season now!!

I think this is a great signing.. Zook is a good recruiter, and the SEC is no pushover conference.. Yeah Florida was 7 - 4 but if you take away the upset to Miss St they lost to three top teams in the nation.. Tennessee, Georgia, and LSU.. those are tough schools to beat Zook is gonna be able to come into a very weak Big 10 imo and bring in his recruits play his style of ball.. I think its a very very good move for us..

i got a pretty good feeling you wont be laughing at anyone

No no it does not... I do not want Randy Johnson... Ide rather keep Garland

see the above post

Baltimore, KC, and Arizona are open

they could have used steroids, then went used Winstrol for their cutting phase.. Winstrol gets you cut.. usually you take winstrol after your bulking phase to get cut
