Flash Tizzle

When'd you graduate Fanof14?

STOP WHINING!!!!! Thats my opinion towards the people pushing to change the name (etc). Because a few native americans feel "insulted" by the Illini shouldn't mean this topic gets consideration. So what, the Illini mascot dances around with a full head of feathers......does U of I really want to get pushed around by a small group of babies who are trying to hold on to their dying traditions. I currently go to UIC....where we are known as the FLAMMMMEEEEESSS. Its not exactly a name Im proud of but Im not going to b**** about it. There are many that share my views but we realize that tradition resides over any excuse someone can make to change our school name. Im sure U of I has already made a poll of how students stand on the issue. I can guarantee that over 80% support keeping the Illini as the mascot. If Alumni....students.....media all believe that Illini should keep its name then it should stay; regardless of how politcally incorrect it is.

Begood, for posting your phone number you have now opened yourself to a series of prank calls at my be half. You may get a phone call from Arnold swartzenager some time in the future. And I would like to know when this TV show Zebbys Zoo Dancer comes on so I can set my TIVO.

It deid seem odd how they just pulled 12 million out of the air for Colon.....and how none of the money offered to him was mentioned towards other FA's. A revamp of the team might happen quicker then expected. All I can ask, in the event of a fire sale, is that KW makes moves to fill our needs of starting pitching and speed.

I dont like the idea of Marte as closer. Its just a very different feel to move from setup to closer. Sure Marte did some of the work two seasons ago but that was when Sox were long out of the pennant race. Would you rather have him go to closer and fail or stay as setup and dominate. He could possibly do great as closer but IF he fails then you risk a Kochesque performance. Definately dont need Martes confidence blown too...... Gordon has pitched as closer for several different teams, and barring an injury would probably be best at that position. Alternating Wunsch, Sully, Koch, Marte (and whoever else) leading up to Gordon would give me confidence of our ability to shut a game down. And to undermind this post I just feel the Koch/Cedano trade is a bad idea. The rest he was given in 03' should leave no excuse from him not to perform at an Oakland level.

I know some of the 6,000 (or so) seats removed will be replaced by the home run porch being built next off season. Im sure those involved considered how much money would be lost from the rows in the upper deck, but they probably believe more will be made with the ballpark becoming more fan friendly. All these additions seem slated towards the average baseball fan; who are normally the ones who complain about the steepness of the upper deck. Most of us care more about the team itself then the appearance of the stadium. Although the additions dont hurt, I plan to go to the park to watch baseball and not stare at ivy.

I don't need proof to believe it was some member of WSI who made that review.

If someone spent to time to look, the ratio of men to women on this site would be something like: 1,140:30 (or 38:1). Definately not good odds

ND wins on a 40yrd field goal by Fitzpatrick with time expiring. That makes it 36 straight losses for Navy at the hands of Notre Dame.

Dont know, the mods might of cracked under the pressure From the main page it says beastly is logged on soxtalk.....and is currently looking up members profiles.

From what aboiz said in the chat room last night Beastly isnt banned but suspended for seven days. He'll be allowed back next Thur.

This thread has officially been added to the growing collection of work I refer to as "Masterpiece Theather: Chronicling The Work of WSC/Beastly"

To the right of the add reply button (at the bottom of the page) in red there is the button for "Fast reply."

Begood/beast you guys chatting right now?

Begood, I dont know how the hell you missed it....its right next to "add reply" You just click, type, submit.

What points that, I must of missed it.

Few suggestions: How about on the main page there is a list that shows whos chatting (similar to the one we have for the main page). And when we register for the chat room there should be some feature that you cant access it unless you are already a member of soxtalk.

Sorry about that . Just wanted to see if anyone would say, "I know from the address its you flash tizzle" Wont happen again.

I have one question: Is that chatroom anonymous? Is there anyway you guys would know its me in there regardless of the name I type in.

Go to stupid-boy.com if you want to see the exact specifics of it. (The site is similar to this one). Basically its a quick way of replying to a post without going through the whole process we normally go through. It would probably be most beneficial in a game day thread where someone could easily post the play by play.

This is great. Im on my way to the Cubs MLB forum right now........

Yesterday I overheard someone the row behind me talking about the anime film "Animatrix." He said that any further Matrix sequels would follow the episodes featured in that movie.....and their were 6 of them. Though I dont know for sure if the first three Matrix movies have followed the first three animatrix episodes; so I cant consider the information credible. If they have then the Wachowski brothers could extend the series.

What are some fan websites devoted to the Cubs? (Their versions of WSI, soxtalk) Never heard of any other besides chicagocubs.com....

I have respect for people who wrestle. As gay as it seemd it takes alot of endurance and strength to win. My best friend is an all conference wrestler and dudes a chick magnet. By the way, nice burn steve. sox4life has been drinking some hatorade this last week and needed to be brought down.

Call me naive but I didnt know this was the process to abort a phetus. Never thought about the actual process; honestly assumed that abortions were made by a lethal injection. Dont understand why this needs to be done.......or why we seem to treat these babies worse then criminals who are about to be executed. (Not saying that a death row inmate should get his head bashed in and brains sucked out. Just making a note of this distinction.) While on the topic, what exactly do abortion clinics do with these babies once they kill them. Seriously, Is there a garbage can they throw them in and someone comes around to pick it up.....
