QUOTE (fathom @ Feb 13, 2011 -> 02:22 PM) Ugh, I'm so sick of hearing Illini fans (not on this site, but other boards) want to see Leonard play over Tisdale. Leonard is terrible, and whenever he was in today, Johnson schooled him. Illini fans need to realize that this team will do or die based on how McCamey plays. I never said anything about Meyers Leonard. The best lineup today was Davis at center, JR at 4. However, Leonard is extremely raw but will only get better as opposed to Tisdale who sucks and will continue to suck. Can't wait for next year!

Weber sent a great message to his team but starting McCamey and Tisdale over the guys that deserve to start.

Tisdale sucks bad.

QUOTE (Brian @ Feb 10, 2011 -> 06:41 PM) Last Thursday, I went to the gas station to fill up and got a cheap car wash just to get the salt off. Car Wash was an addition $5. After filling up, I drove around to the wash and it was closed down temporarily. No biggie, my recipt said I had a week to use it. So every day I drove by it and it was still blocked off. Today was my last chance to use it so when I went it was still blocked off. I took my receipt inside and was calm and just asked if I could put the $5 towards gas or some soda or whatever and I was told I could not do that. I explained that I bought the wash a week ago and it expires today and the guy said I purchased the car wash at my own risk and there was nothing I could do. I even said there was no sign saying that but he didn't budge. I didn't make a big deal out of it, it is only $5 but still. WTF I would contact corporate even though it is just 5$ just for the principle of the matter

I live in Chicago and have Comcast. I get like 5 different CSN channels, like Bay Area and a few others with the sports package ($7 per month) Trust me, Comcast carries Comcast Sports Net.

1. Weekday 2. Cubs suck 3. People are getting tired of this series

These are atrocious

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Feb 11, 2011 -> 09:12 AM) This is a question I pondered also. I have cable and we receive MLB network and WGN, but going to Dish network means no MLB network (it is on DirectTV) but they have a sports package with CSN-Chicago. Question I had at the time was do they block out games? Yes, if you have CSN Chicago but you aren't in the Chicago blackout area, all games are blacked out. In other words, CSN Chicago in Montana doesn't show any games.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Feb 11, 2011 -> 12:16 AM) No, because I don't even live there yet. I signed for the lease for the place for this August, but I am just wondering now, even though I still got 6 months or so to actually buy any sort of package. Absolutely you can get the channel. Directv, dish, cable etc all will have csn chicago available. You might not even have to pay extra. But yeah just call whoever you plan on using and ask them.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Feb 10, 2011 -> 10:29 PM) Muncie. You will be able to watch all White Sox games aired by CSN Chicago. I don't know what the NHL blackout rules or markets are though.

Where are you?

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Feb 10, 2011 -> 12:10 PM) So every time you vote for someone it's for the person that is polling #1? This is a completely different situation as runoffs are not a part of most elections. You can vote for whoever you want, but Rahm is going to win and a runoff is a waste of money that we don't have.

QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Feb 10, 2011 -> 12:57 PM) Listening to talk radio on the way home the interesting thing is that if Rahm does not get the 50% on the first pass through it could get interesting as the unions are all backing Chico. I could be written in as mayor too, but it won't happen.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Feb 10, 2011 -> 11:47 AM) Excellent reasoning to vote for a candidate. Also, here's a recap of yesterday's debate which featured all 6 of the candidates. Hahaha this is a landslide

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Feb 10, 2011 -> 11:52 AM) It wouldn't hurt to get your CFE if you want to get into forensic accounting. I'm currently studying for the exam. It's in my plans, but CPA first

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Feb 10, 2011 -> 10:17 AM) What were you grades like? I can try to point you in the direction of some people. Unfortunately for you, I don't work in the Chicago office (So Cal instead) but I know a few people who work there. I highly recommend public. You get the living s*** kicked out of you but the longer you can stay in it, the better off you are from a career standpoint. Definitely not a requirement and there are plenty of people that bounce real early or never go into it (within our field) who eventually make it as CFO's, etc, but in general, so much value to be gained working in public. I can't think of many careers/places where you can move up and get the raises that they do offer in public (and this is coming from a guy who was in public at Deloitte, went to private for 2 years and am now squarely in the midst of busy season hell, haha). The money might not be amazing in public, but you spend 3 (70-90K job waiting for you in private) or even better 5 to 7 years (100-125K+ waiting for you in private) and you will find a salary job where you make very good plus benefits and bonus. All while being in your early 30's (depending on when you graduated, etc). Not many places out there like that, imo. But it isn't for everyone. I had good grades, thus the scholarship to get my master's But yeah, the last thing I'm worried about is my starting salary as not working equals $0 income. I need to get in somewhere so that I can get experience and prove myself.

QUOTE (SnB @ Feb 10, 2011 -> 08:13 AM) I'm currently in an MSA program right now (While working full time in another field). I'm trying to figure out when to make the jump into an internship and out of my "real job". I go to a fairly small school and I know the network isn't going to be great. I also don't know how interested I am in a public firm, too many of my friends got burnt out real quick. Overall, I'm just confused on how the hell I'm going to use this master's degree when I'm done, haha. Haha so true. I did the MSA because I needed to get the 150 hours someway and UIC offered me a scholarship so of course I took it. Now I'm studying for the CPA.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Feb 9, 2011 -> 06:02 PM) What sort of job are you looking for? I'm in the field (Deloitte) and might be able to give you some pointers. Are you looking to go into public as your first job? I want to go into Forensic Accounting, so I figure a good start would be Auditing. I have heard both good and bad things about public, but given the opportunity, I would jump at it.

I have an bachelor's and master's in accounting and can't find a job! No intern experience is killing me I think (and the economy)

Everyone should vote for Rahm so that we don't have to waste time and money on another round.

QUOTE (Iwritecode @ Feb 8, 2011 -> 11:08 AM) You started the thread by complaining about something done by a WSI poster. Hahaha...Lip isn't the only one that does it though. I just picked him cause I figured some people know who he is.

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Feb 8, 2011 -> 11:07 AM) Maybe I shouldn't have created the topic? Is this going to be on TV or are we suppose to wait fro Reifert tweets? I guess it's a tweet-fest. Peavy says he wants to be ready for opening day? Idk about that, we'll see
