QUOTE(The Beast @ Feb 21, 2008 -> 01:22 AM) wite, I guess I just don't like how some people abuse alcohol and that is all they can talk about. It makes me think it is very pathetic that some people just waste their weekends on getting drunk and I don't understand how people remember others from the previous night. I guess it is because I am a non-drinker who is at a town that is about 30-40 thousand less than my own, and there's not much to do here for me. Things have gotten better because I was able to establish a Warlord: Saga of the Storm CCG community here. Gaming is important to me because it is a social event and I'd much rather talk there than feel uncomfortable around those who are drinking. Not to mention I wouldn't want to become intoxicated and make a choice that would compromise what my girlfriend and I have. I also know of some alcoholics who have problem so I certainly don't want to drink because of that. I'm not saying all of them are idiots, wite, I apologize for that. But I will say I've definitely seen my fair share of idiots, including my ex-roommate who compromised my life by coming in stumbling drunk and threw up throughout the night---I couldn't sleep when this happened and I had exams the next day. When people mess with my life, I mess with them. I didn't help him with anything when he came in stumbling, because it is not my responsibility to be his caretaker. I guess I'm finding myself through my observations rather than experiencing some things that I wouldn't exactly call moral. Unlike many others I've upheld my values and beliefs coming into school and I do not change my mind much. Drinking and pre-marital sex are both issues that I am against, so I'm glad I've been upholding my values. I was being a bit too judgmental when it came to partying and their education, but I think many people take their "freedom" a bit to the extreme. Keeping the Faith, The Beast Sounds like you didn't care for you roommate too much... Got a question...you may not drink, but do you go out at all? Warlord, or whatever its called...do you just do that online? Cause I can't imagine that does a whole lot for social interaction.

QUOTE(Palehosefan @ Feb 20, 2008 -> 10:19 PM) Nebraska fans rushed the court after beating #25 K-State. Amazing. Pitiful. First of all, there's maybe a couple hundred of them. Secondly, it's the #25 team. Third, it's Kansas f***ing State. That whole damn state is messed up.

QUOTE(Jimbo's Drinker @ Feb 20, 2008 -> 11:15 AM) KU did not have any recruits who could have made the game. Releford was a long shot. The Morris boys are not eligible and Little is a Juco. Though Quintrell Thomas will be a stud, love watching him. Maryland, Pitt, Syracuse, Texas, Indiana, Michigan State, Kentucky, Tennessee, Memphis, Stanford all had zero burger boys. The funny thing about this game is. Kirk Hinrich, Drew Gooden were not Mcd's Eric Chenoworthless was. Yeah, but Hinrich is also a perpetual douche. I would imagine that Chenowith's future includes being Frankenstein in some B-movie.

QUOTE(Texsox @ Feb 20, 2008 -> 09:15 AM) My son at Texas State (cool school no Friday classes) just told me his lecture hall classes actually have assigned seating and a couple classes have mandatory attendance. I can't remember ever having assigned seating in a college class. We have assigned seating in a few classes. I've had one class that you fail if you miss a day. I'd say probably 10% of my classes have been mandatory attendance.

QUOTE(gbuk @ Feb 19, 2008 -> 02:55 PM) Even when Augustin is missing shots he can still control the game. That's what makes him so effective. I guess the three times I've actually watched him play for an extended amount of time were @ Mizzou, @ Iowa State and @ Baylor.

QUOTE(fathom @ Feb 19, 2008 -> 11:07 AM) So, here's Fathom's 1st and 2nd team All-Americans so far, as well as Freshman All-American and underrated All-American 1st team AA / 2nd team AA / Frosh AA / Underrated G D.J. Augustin / J. Bayless / Bayless / S. Gaines G C. D-Roberts / E. Gordon / Gordon / D. Downey C T. Hansbrough / K. Love / Love / J. Varnado F R. Anderson / D.J. White / D. Greene / Tyler Smith F M. Beasley / L. Harangody / Beasley / D. James Augustin? Really? I didn't catch last night's game, but he's been really up and down this year. I saw Oden and Durant play ISU last year, and Beasley this year. He was by far the most impressive of the three. He good.

QUOTE(DrunkBomber @ Feb 18, 2008 -> 11:44 PM) I would assume I was the only one to get ejected and suspended from a football and volleyball game in the same year in high school. Well then, I'm probably the only one to get ejected from a junior varsity tennis meet.

Sit in the back, that way I can sleep peacefully.

QUOTE(greg775 @ Feb 18, 2008 -> 06:28 PM) I hope both are long gone. Wasserman is not good and does anybody really want to see MacDougal's wildness kill us in crucial situations? I'd prefer MacD over Wasserman if one makes it over the other. I hope our new guys are the answer over last year's disasters. Wow. Go take another bong rip or something.

Purdue lost to Iowa f***ing State. Nuff said.

QUOTE(Rex Hudler @ Feb 17, 2008 -> 05:56 PM) How does gas station pizza even come into a real conversation about pizza??? It's true Iowa cuisine.

Van Coleman is a Hawkeye fan. Not all that well respected in the state, either.

Casey's General Store. Can be hit or miss at times, but it's generally pretty damn good, especially for gas station pizza.

Likely loss this next Saturday at Tech, then our biggest game of the year on ESPN against Kansas. Always fun, always a sellout, always a large amount of venom towards Brandon Rush and Sasha.

Looks like Sedrick Johnson will officially be a Clone, both for basketball and football.

Congrats

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Feb 16, 2008 -> 06:00 PM) This is what happens when you become a SIU fan, heads. Your teams don't score. At least we won the worlds greatest cripple fight.

11 points in the first half? Seriously, Iowa State.

MLB 2k8 and NCAA 09 both hitting the Wii. Solid. I've been waiting for a real baseball game and NCAA to migrate over. Time to dust off the wiimote.

QUOTE(Palehosefan @ Feb 15, 2008 -> 04:59 PM) February 15, 2008 Sedrick Johnson still a Cyclone The Sedrick Johnson saga seems to be settled, for now. Johnson, the 6-foot-4 receiver from Arp who switched his commitment from A&M to Iowa State on the morning of National Signing Day, apparently had another change of heart after signing his name. Johnson wanted to commit to A&M again, thinking he could get out of his letter of intent to Iowa State because it did not have his mother's signature. But as of 11:15 a.m. Friday, his commitment returned to the Cyclones after he found out as an 18-year-old his signature was enough to make the letter of intent binding http://blogs.chron.com/aggies/...l_a_cyclon.html No one knows if he actually wanted to go to aTm or his mom just wanted him to switch. He said in an interview before that it was tough, but ISU was really where he wanted to go. This whole situation is retarded.

The latest rumor is that Sedrick is still a Cyclone, and that A&M had called a presser to announce his signing and has now cancelled it. That would make it seem like A&M was tampering, but they'll get away with it.

Now Barry Bonds has made me a f***ing liar.
