The Bones

There's one game to keep an eye on tonight as Syracuse takes on DePaul. A Syracuse win would guarantee them at least a .500 record in the Big East and help their case for an at-large.

Indiana State beats Drake 72-63 in the first game of the tournament and will play Wichita State tomorrow. Illinois State vs. Evansville next. Winner plays SIU tomorrow.

Well, Colorado lost big so it doesn't look like they'll be in and any very slim chance that Nebraska had went out the window with a loss at home to K State. So, that makes A&M the fourth team out of the Big 12 to get in. Indiana looks like they'll be in now giving the Big 10 7 teams and FSU should probably be in with another win giving the ACC 5 teams.

UConn, Nova, Memphis, Ohio State

If FSU can beat Duke tonight they could make a case for an at-large bid. FSU leads by 3 at the half.

Freaks and Geeks-One of the best shows ever on TV got screwed over by NBC and cancelled in less than one season. Undeclared-Created by the same guy who produced Freaks and Geeks and again got moved around and cancelled in the middle of its first season. Mr. Show-Not sure if this was really cancelled but HBO moved it around and never really gave it a chance to succeed. Andy Richter Controls the Universe-Not sure what happened here but I remember the episodes I saw were some of the funniest and most creative on tv. The New Tom Green Show-Lots of people hate him but his late night show on MTV was great and he should be given another chance to do a late night talk show somewhere else.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Mar 1, 2006 -> 12:16 AM) I see it a bit different then you, though I'm pretty sure we'll get atleast 4 depending on what happens. Wichita State and Missouri State are in, both have top 20 rpi's, even if Missouri State lost to UNI there rpi wouldn't drop that much. One team in the last 15 years in the top 30 of the rpi has been left out and I believe that team was ineligible. UNI is probably in no matter what but they've fallen awfully close to the bubble and will have to sweat it out a bit if they lose Friday, though like I said I think they'll be fine. The Creighton/Bradley game could be an elimination game though once again Creighton should be ok if they lose. It's a must win for Bradley, they lose and they're done, they win though and there is a good shot they're in. As far as SIU, Friday is a must win, we get upset and we're done. If we lose on Saturday we'll be sweating things out, we'll be directly on the bubble with a decent shot to get in but it sure wouldn't be comfortable. We get to the championship game and we're in. I really can't wait for Friday, this weekend is going to be a blast, so much good basketball. You're probably right about Missouri State already being in, but I think UNI is a little questionable, they've struggled recently as has SIU. It's just strange to think that the MVC could get as many as 5 teams because in past years 3 was considered good. Of course all of this depends on who wins the other tournaments to get the automatic bids.

ESPN has a pretty good analysis of everything right here. http://sports.espn.go.com/ncb/bubblewatch?id=17

I think I'm gonna pick UConn or Villanova. I'll wait to make up my mind until I see the brackets though.

Go ISU, yay! But seriously, I think the MVC is a good bet to get 4 teams into the tournament. Wichita State is in, if SIU beats ISU/Evansville, which they should, they'll be in, the winner of the UNI-Missouri St game will get in and Creighton should get in. Bradley would have to beat Creighton to have any shot to get in. I wouldn't be too confident in the loser of the UNI-Missouri St. game getting in though. Also, I think that the Friday and Saturday games are all on Comcast Chicago.

Hey look we're in a new forum. Looking good.

Go NU!

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Feb 28, 2006 -> 09:40 PM) Bad, bad news. Cinci is going to get in cause their rpi is very, very high and Seton Hall could have basically been eliminated today. Not good. You think Cincy will get in even if the lose to WV on Saturday putting them at 7-9 in conference?

In Big East bubble news, Seton Hall had a huge second half to get a win over Cincinnati and keep there slim hopes alive, while hurting Cincinnati's chances of getting an at-large.

I think this will be a tough game for Illinois. They haven't exactly played well on the road and Minnesota has won their last 4 at home including wins over Indiana, Iowa, and MSU. Illinois needs this game if they don't wanna drop to a 4 seed.

This has to be a record for how fast you can fall from superstar to a joke. The results of the poll on the bottom of the page made me laugh. Only Wyoming and Delaware think he's a hall of famer. http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/index

I'm Loaded.

I'll be in League 1 again. And if anyone wants to know what league they were in last year just go to http://fantasysports.yahoo.com/ and click on fantasy profile at the top of the page. It has a history of all of your fantasy teams.

LF Carlos Lee has a brother, C Carlos Lee, who is still in the White Sox organization. This has been mentioned before.

Since when did everyone turn retarded? When I was in high school I wore a Sox shirt the first day of classes and my teacher who was a Cubs fan told me never to wear anything with the Sox on it again. Of course I go in the very next day with another Sox shirt on. He noticed it and just commended me on having the guts to do that and we never had a problem.

So my sister got me tickets as an early birthday present and I'm going on Sunday. I'm excited because I've never been to it before and this year's should be pretty crazy. Anyone know when we'll know who will be there on each individual day?

Well, these are the 2 teams I wanted to see in the Super Bowl and I really like Cowher and the Bus but I like Seattle more. Seahawks in a close one.

http://www.pandora.com My roomate showed me this and I thought it was pretty cool. You can type in the name of a song or artist and it will play that song or songs by that artist plus similar songs. It's pretty interesting how they detect what songs are similar and best of all it's free.
