QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Jul 13, 2005 -> 08:50 PM) Yeah, yeah, just laugh it up... Don't even stop for a moment to think about the people hurt in the 'Security' ordeal... it was just you. and me to a lesser extent.

Speaking of the AAA game, have any of you guys ever heard of J.J. Furmaniak? He's an infielder in the padres system (portland beavers i believe). He's supposed to be playing and i guess my mom works with his mom. Any of you guys know him?

uuuuugh, pierre thomas's grades suck, they wanted a 6 game suspension. I gave him 3, the NCAA definitely has an interest in me now

it doesn't look all that great, but then again, i know i'll buy it anyway.

QUOTE(Queen Prawn @ Jul 13, 2005 -> 04:18 PM) How can somebody need a resistor and wants to know how to test that it is still good, but has no idea how to use a multi-meter nor knows how to apply voltage to a resistor to test wattage capability and doesn't know how to order from a distributor (INSISTS on going to a local "store" to buy it)?!??! And THEN tells me that the company I work for makes him angry? What a numb-nut. omg, same thing just happened to me yeterday.

nobody wants to see jobo back up. we don't need a terrible average/OBP hitter hopefully he keeps it up and can get us something at the deadline.

illinois 3-0 after beating cal in an overtime thriller. I put flakes at QB, he's an 80 speed. Coach liccar has been running the option like crazy. Pierre thomas is good.

QUOTE(santo=dorf @ Jul 13, 2005 -> 11:58 AM) I don't know about you guys, but I don't plan on paying attention to an Illini football game until at least November because of the Sox. it's only 1 day a week. i don't put nearly as much time into following the illini as i do the sox anyways.

QUOTE(AddisonStSox @ Jul 13, 2005 -> 11:55 AM) Yeah, I was hoping I wasn't the only one ready for College ball to start. Even our own Illini are going to be a lot of fun to track this year. desmond is calling your name

QUOTE(IlliniKrush @ Jul 13, 2005 -> 11:47 AM) I'm seeing an addy/steve/kenny football watching experience in the future. Probly not at Steve's place though, lol. my room's gonna be the size of a closet probably,

QUOTE(AddisonStSox @ Jul 13, 2005 -> 11:42 AM) My roomate was also quite the videogame nerd, however, I dominated the weekends and whenever the Sox were on. He would have had to seriously throw down if he wanted the TV during those times. That's why I'm so jacked about having a four bedroom apt. this year. Having your own room again is going to be the best. I can't friggin wait. i got a single dorm for this year. I'm so pumped for moving in. Last year wasn't the best situation, this year is going to kick ass. I found out I NEED my own room to survive. I can't wait for the first saturday illini game, get up early, go to the game, stand up for 4 hours, come home and lie in front of the TV and watch games. Absolutely can't wait.

QUOTE(Jimenez4MVP @ Jul 13, 2005 -> 11:41 AM) I dont get how you guys can complain about the Race for the Heisman.. if you got a scholarship to USC you wouldnt see the field till MAYBE your JR year at least, the whole goal of the mode is to be able to be a starter and build your player into a heisman trophy winner.. not put your guy as a back up for 2-3 years and then maybe win a heisman.. Its not lame, the main point of it is so you can play as YOUR guy and try to win the heisman, I dont see why you would wanna create your guy and then bury him in the depth chart because its lame that he is the starter, why even play RFTH then? because the concept of it is dumb. A freshmen is not going to start over bush on USC. It all depends on how you wanna play the game though, that's all.

QUOTE(IlliniKrush @ Jul 13, 2005 -> 11:40 AM) That would be pretty cool God, i just want college football to start. All day saturday, just lay there in front of 2 tv's and watch games all morning, day, and night. I just love it. i absolutely can't wait for that this year. last year i had to deal with halo all day, stupid roomate.

QUOTE(AddisonStSox @ Jul 13, 2005 -> 11:37 AM) Would you believe me if I told you I have had some dialogue with Coach Zook about helping out in the office and such? wow that's awesome

QUOTE(AddisonStSox @ Jul 13, 2005 -> 11:21 AM) Well done. I just got done going through about 6 old notebooks and finished reading the entire $80+ collection of Athlon Sports professional and collegiate football previews (it's ok, I get these comped) and started to get the bug again. soooooooooo how about this matt leinart character eh?

QUOTE(AddisonStSox @ Jul 13, 2005 -> 10:44 AM) ...I'm all broken up about it. Really. Say what you will about the guy, but, Timo earned his spot on the roster. Wille and his robust OBP have added nothing to this team in 05'. i'm pretty sure everyone still hates timo, but willie has quickly moved up the ladder to become the most hated on the team. He has completely earned it too

I do, probably just because I find the subject interesting.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Jul 13, 2005 -> 10:10 AM) Security probably stopped by 7 months later, still not old

2nd game of the season against SJSU, both thomas and halsey have discipline problems. Thomas had 250 yards rushing the first game, errr. I suspened him for the game and halsey (the backup HB) for 3. There goes his heisman hopes.

soxtalk is awesome.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Jul 13, 2005 -> 01:48 AM) Alright, I just read through this thread, for the first time. What an awesome thread. Anyways -- I beat solitaire for the first time yesterday. My mom was having surgery at Rush, and my dad, my grandparents and I all basically sat in the 'waiting room' for about five hours. I was so happy when I beat it. And, my mom is doing Ok, she should be home from the hospital on Friday (fingers crossed). My dad and I both were real nervous the whole time, just 'cause he's had some bad experiences there (not saying other people haven't), and I'm overall just a nervous person. So, it was a big weight off our shoulders when we heard the news that the surgery went well. glad to hear the good news keith. i'm suprised you weren't playign poker and losing all your money again

QUOTE(whitesox89 @ Jul 13, 2005 -> 09:44 AM) I got a question for this game. Is there anyway that i can go right to the Main Menu when i start up the game or do I always have to go through some of the Race for the Hiesman? that should only happen your first time booting up the game.

Yes, keith i bought a sharkport and already have the rosters for my game. Rex, you can download rosters from many places. geekrosters.com maddenmania.net psxsports.com All you need is a sharkport ( i bought mine for 12 bucks off ebay a month ago)

and i'm really not that impressed w/ the heisman mode. I'm doing this currently: -I created myself through create-a-player, made myself a 72 or whatever, a regular freshmen rating. -Put myself on Illinois roster -Redshirted myself in the dynasty -Voila. A race for heisman mode w/ all the fun stuff of dynasty mode, plus alot more realistic
